You turn it on and if your in range it draws a circle on the map. Fly around if the circle gets smaller you are getting closer

yeah how do you use the transponder locator?

Yeah I don't mind

Could i upload a version with guns and stuff? i would give full credit

this helped me so much in career mode and the autopilot is awesome

sorry for stupid question, but how do i lift off the helicopter??

How to use the transponder locator?

looks ok pretty good for starters

This helicopter is great! its (kind of) cheap, very useful, the control layout is new but much, much easier to use, good for missions, and overall its great for career! 10/10

When in the harness look for a handle to grab onto before leaving the harness. Then you can just hop into a seat while holding the handle.

when you put someone in it it dose a weird thing but othre then that the hanis system is hard to get back on the heli from the harness and flys well

Really awsome helicopter! can even fly with one blade XD

I just updated the workshop. Radio gets disabled when you toggle autopilot. There is also a hotkey on the seat to swap yaw/roll

I just picture the use case of the auto pilot being to get you out to your rescue (or whatever), and then the autoland to get you back. So I think it would make sense for it to cut the signal when auto pilot is being used so that you don't have to worry about changing the channel to something else and changing it back when wanting to return.

Not sure if there is a different use case you're picturing where having to change the channel to use the auto pilot would be more appropriate? I personally thought the auto pilot wasn't working, because I didn't realise I'd need to change the channel on the auto land to have it work.

I could add a simple bit of logic that cuts the radio signal if autopilot is enabled.

the autopilot waypoint gets overridden if there's a radio signal detrected.

So it seems that if my autoland channel is set at 0, when I activate auto pilot (but not auto land) it will navigate to the boat even if I have waypoints set. I have to change the channel to something else to get it to correctly autopilot to the waypoints. Maybe I am mistaken, but shouldn't the auto pilot go to the waypoints even if the channel is 0 (matching the boat)? And then autoland should be the part that is dependent on the channel?

Yeah I might. The logic is there in the gyro. Just have to hook up a button

I wonder, could you make it so one can switch the input for yaw and roll? I am more used to A/D being roll so if people like me could switch that with a button that would keep things simple and easy no matter what you are used to

ended up swapping the autopilot system to the SRS system can do multi waypoint and also shows up on the transponder map

nope should work. There's no line on the map with this one i just tested it and it works for me.
Input waypoint on the keypad click submit then press the autopilot button. Or autoland if you want to land there

When I enter a waypoint via the keypad, nothing seems to happen. I don't see any waypoint on the map or anything and when I engage the autopilot it isn't navigating to the spot. Is there a step I am missing or doing wrong?

ive never tested but it goes really far

Quick question whats the max range of the heli?

small update: hooked up a radio to the autoland also fixed a battery drain issue.
If you want to use radio autoland simply place a physics sensor facing the rear of your landing pad. Hook up the composite to a radio and choose a channel. Make sure the radio is broadcasting (constant on to the red node)

You are my favorite creator.

Why do i find this so cute? 😂

fixed

OK worked it out. For some reason he requires the physics sensor to be flipped. I'll fix it when n I'm home

That's wacks hmd I didn't set it up. Just hooked up the physics sensor and yolo

just like the horizon monitor

the pitch ladder is supposed to stay flat in global reference

your HMD artificial horizon rolls the wrong way...

I did fix it. Taking awhile for steam to push the update though.

Nav lights is inverted

yay

Wow!
Very attractive looking design!

Good little heli, emphasis on little lol.

Just a suggestion from someone who does a lot of tiltrotor helis, add just a little bit more mass to the rotor assembly, I noticed that it started tweakin at low phys, just a little bit, but still.

looks awesome

One thing that might be worth it to fix is switching yaw and roll's controls as it makes more sense

i fixed the nav lights. Not sure how i missed that

i love the color of it, so cute

This thing is awesome as hell

Navigation lights are misplaced: Red is left, Green is Right

Nice Heli like always looks really nice
