Help with helicopters

2,738 GeneralPatrick2  4.7 years ago

So, as of yet there's still no helicopter tutorials in the tutorial section of SP. So I still don't know how to make a helicopter work with the helicopter parts. Can someone maybe provide me with a guide or tips on how to make a working helicopter?

    I'm a little one, but you can use coaxial

    @GeneralPatrick2 if you're lazy, set tourqe of the main rotor to false. It will make it so that the main rotor does not need a tail rotor

    @GeneralPatrick2 Set the tail rotor's "mode" to "Heading hold".

    When you make a heli that works, search up a guide on helicopter controls (for irl helicopters). They really help.

    Well, try to look up a guide to helicopter physics.
    You could also tag me in an unlisted post and I'll see if I can help

    @Jokowi @Noname918181 @TakicraftCorporation yes, i know about the CoM thing, but how exactly would you make it to where the tail rotor can properly stabilize the craft? i've tried several times before but it always continues to spin around and it frustrates me to no end

    Just like Noname said, Just use Gyroscope if it too hard for you

    CoM must be aligned with the main rotor at all times. If you're lazy or something, use gyros, but I do not recommend that.

    Try to inspect the basic in-game helicopter, to see how you should set up the rotors. Center of mass is important as well. You should be aware to the secondary rotor's direction, and power to get the aircraft balanced. First try out a contra rotating (KA-26-like) design, to learn more about the handling
