@Zaineman Most of the recordings i have like that are of MP flying with other players and such..
If I can, I prefer to record a flight from start to end, without any cuts, so anybody watching can see exactly what I'm doing right and wrong... Learning both from success and failure 😉
I can record for 4 hours to get that one perfect takeoff to landing flight, like my wright to yeager interstate flight..
But mostly it just depends how many tries it takes... This helicopter flight is my 4th flight with this heli for example, I just started recording to see what comes out 😉
@Zaineman I usually keep crashes and stuff for the end .. or if its my first flight.. or if it was a cool crash..
I like showing flights from takeoff to landing, without cuts in the middle.
But everybody has their own styles 🙂
@Freerider2142 I watched it again with what you said in mind, your right, I was wrong. Lol You know Win right ? He is famous for putting in an edit just before he hits the side of a mountain or explodes on the ground. That's what I thought I was seeing. So, if you think about it, it's really Win's fault...... Lol...@winswings
@Freerider2142 hmm I see I'll have to take a look at a sim setup then, also I did try to add a cyclic trim system and rotor brakes with funky trees but could not figure it out. Maybe someone with more skill with funky trees could figure it out. When I gave up on that I added a gyro to make it easier to hold the heli stable for people who dont have a ballin setup like you.
And thanks for making that video, did not even know my heli could do that. :)
@Ajplebo cheers mate, I have a good setup for helicopter flying, makes a lot of difference using both your arms and legs ;)
I also have some IRL experience with helis...
it's not that I don't like the gyro, I don't see it as necessary in most of the flight...
most helicopters, even ones with powerful Autopilot systems, you override those systems when maneuvering.
you use pitch and roll stabilization for things like long lags of flight, autohovering for emergencies and targeting enemies and such...
IRL most helicopters have a Cyclic Trim, that works a bit different than in airplanes, it centers the cyclic to a position you select.. and that's used most of the time for ease of flight.
so you basically put the helicopter at the attitude you want, and engage the trim, and that will hold your cyclic (and sometimes your tail rotor) in that position.
but that doesn't really work in SP.. same as rotor brakes for stopping the main rotor after shut down ;)

@Freerider2142 I totally understand ! 😺 Z :)

@Freerider2142 have you seen my vids ? I usually film about 10-15 mins of footage just for 120 seconds of vid.

@Zaineman Lol, by the way this is one of the best meanuvering helicopter I have seen.

@Zaineman I didn't edit anything in the video other than the music 😉
Was close... But not close enough 😜

I smiled at time index 2:32. I could tell you totally ate some concrete before that edit. Lol Z 😺 Great video Freerider2142

@Freerider2142 Dang your so much better at flying that heli than i am especially since you didn't even use the gyro very nice. glad you enjoy the heli
Also do you not like the gyro?, Just trying to get some feedback for future builds.
