S-64 Skycrane

30.2k aircraftarsenal123  8.9 years ago
Auto Credit Based on aircraftarsenal123's S-64 Skycrane Prototype

Take off at 65% power with the crate (50% without) and feather the controls. Use the jet engines by (slowly) moving the VTOL slider HALF WAY. No more. none. nada. no. I made this version more stable and with a hollow crate as cargo. A Rear prop was added (a real pain in the butt because of the center of mass). <--- Be grateful. Also a few aesthetic and design changes were made to help with the performance. Overall, I think this is a solid helicopter, Enjoy!

    I really just use a straight forward process. I can't (don't know how too) mod, so i download other peoples planes and mods for decal and decorations. i also use and save and modded fuselages i happen to stumble upon and can alter them in some cases to fit my purpose. also, i try to make planes that i have pictures of, so details are already planned out, i can also use side views and or top views to help the plane look as realistic as possible. furthermore, make lots of sub assemblies of little things you may have found in other peoples planes (be sure to give credit). otherwise its just getting use to it to the point that u can just sense how to do things. use the mirroring ability as well, there are different ways to cheat the game to something, such as put one part into another. other than that, it just comes with experience. @Leroytheleroy
