Dual Rotor Helicopter - Realistic

194 simonjb  6.1 years ago

A simple but functional helicopter. By default the rotors provide lift; use VTOL slider for engine throttle, use throttle slider for collective. Full engine throttle should be used at most times, 75% is helpful for landing. Strobes=1. Navigation Lights=2. Landing Lights=3. The VTOL nozzles can also be used for easier (albeit less realistic) flying; enable this using 4, set throttle to 0% and use VTOL slider only for this mode. Gyros bound to 8 help with banked turns.
