Updated flight model testing.

I will be making a separate updated helicopter to the one I had recently posted.

This particular version of the Blackhawk helicopter has the ability to perform level flying. When you takeoff, it will automatically nose forward, and after a couple seconds it will straighten itself like how an actual helicopter would.

And when you land, you deactivate one of the gyroscopes and then activate a different one that will allow you to take full control over the helicopter and land manually.

Keep in mind, I’m trying to make this as easy as possible for players to use so most of it is automatic, unless you want total control, then you activate one of the gyroscopes, the secondary ones.

“Im dealing with the future of Simpleplanes.”

“A necessary shock to the game engine!”

Here’s one more picture of my helicopter performing level flight (or whatever the aviation world calls it).

The main rotor, with a little bit of assistance from the tail rotor, pushes the aircraft forward as the rotor head tilts, it was a substitute for trying to make a working swash plate.

The gyroscope does most of the hard work for you, I bet it would be easier on pc since you can reach the keys for the activations.
