I've been doing testing on a rotor that uses vertical stabilisers to control yaw. It's suffice to say that the whole purpose of the helicopter would be ruined with such a contraption added. Not only would it destroy any form of stability on this heli and turn it into what the other helicopters on this site are, but it would also not turn the plane. I therefore request anyone who knows how to mod to produce a rotor that works on Yaw commands.

It's not all bad news, though, I was also testing a guided missile that I was working on, and so far it is really good. Flies in a stable path, and turns well. It can one shot the aircraft carrier. I will post a new prototype for the heli once I have the guided missile done.

The current improvements for the fourth prototype include a controllable gun, more stability improvements, 4-blade rotor instead of 6 2-blade ones, and an NV thingy (the thing you find on the front of the attack helicopters).

@apfel33 It's ok mate.

@ODETHIOUS sorry about that, it's apfel 332, I am an idiot

@apfel33

Also, I couldn't find your channel. Would you mind linking it here?

@apfel33

Would be helpful if you do not mind.

@ODETHIOUS also, would you like some credit?

@ODETHIOUS apfel 3322, don't get discouraged by the cringe in my videos

@apfel33

Not at all. I would like my helicopter to be discovered by more people so that there are more helis like it. As you can tell, I am not the best designer out there, and there are people who are not only better at this than me, but also more dedicated. Can I ask what the name of the channel is though?

@ODETHIOUS no, I put fly by wire missiles on it. Second, would you mind me using this in a YT series.

@apfel33 I already know that, but the game doesn't model it like that. The main rotors on my heli produce virtually no torque, so the plane won't turn. As for the tail rotor, I can't get one to work like a real heli, so I asked if anyone knew how to make it work.

I already made another prototype with a better weapons package. The Gun on the front can now be controlled to engage targets at different angles. I thought I needed more modifications to justify releasing a new prototype though, and I was thinking about tail rotors that worked. Fly by wire missiles should be cool, and they should prove to be a challenge that I would enjoy to undertake. I don't know about the effect it would have on heli stability, as on an earlier version, the heli did not fly well with control surfaces present. Glad you enjoyed the heli though.

@ODETHIOUS first of all, helicopters produce yaw with their tail rotor and main rotor. Second, this heli flys like a dream, but I needed to add a better weapon package to suit the needs of a ground assault chopper. Fancy fly-by-wire missiles?

If anyone knows how to produce rotors that can control yaw, please tell me how, it would be greatly helpful. My ultimate goal is to make a heli that does not use any thrusters, which is what most helis use in this game.
