ECRS Helicopter

ECRS means Elite Combat and Research Systems. it's a tag wich i use for my highend stuff.

So this thing is my best helicopter. It has some nice functions wich you might appreciate. (Hovermode, weapons, a tiny car wich you can drop on other Players in multiplayer...)
please read this whole description, otherwise the heli is useless... sorry

Controls:
Throttle: start engine (always set throttle to 100%)
Vtol: control engine thrust
---Vtol all the way down= no thrust
---Vtol in the middle= hovering
---Vtol up= lift upwards
Pitch: fly foward/backward
Roll: fly sideways
Yaw: turn left/right
Trim: aim weapons (up/down)
LandingGear: retract landingGear+extend weapons
Ag8: enable/disable controls (pitch, roll, trim, yaw) of the helicopter
Ag7(+throttle up): hover mode.
In hover mode the helicopter will float in the air (using airbrakes). Useful for landings or attacks.
For your safety hovermode will not activate when speed is over 30mph. (But you can activate it and then slow down to 30mph, that will work too)
Also don't forget to have the VTOL centered.
Ag5: drop the CarCameraBombThing + enable controls of it (don't forget to disable ag8, otherwise you would control both car and heli)
Ag4: CarCameraBombThing parachute
Ag6: make the CarCameraBombThing explode (maybe you wanna drop it before, otherwise it´s suicide)

CarCameraBombThing controls:
Ag5 required
it will automaticly brake when you stop driving
Pitch: forwards/backwards
Roll: drive left/right
Trim: pitch (for climbing)
Ag4: parachute (only required for Drops from higher distances)
Ag6: selftdestruction (explosionpower of an interceptor)
btw i made this Thing in order to get a closer look to other Players cool builds in multiplayer. in my opinion ist the best function of the heli

Weapons:
Guardians are Missiles
rockedpod is rocketpod
interceptors are smart bullets (tiny and fast, but require closer aiming)
boom25´s are grenades

ok, you made it 2/3 of the way through. the rest is not that important

Damage indicators (the green blocks in the cockpit) from left to right:
Main rotor
Gyroscope
Hovermode activator
Protection of the backrotor

The red light in the cockpit tells you that your weapons are retracted. Press LandingGear to extend the weapons. (Don't fire weapons when they are retracted)

Some test results and values:
Max speed: 225mph
USS Beast carrier crosswind landing: 100mph windspeed+heavy gusts
Max lift rate: 85mph (124.66FeetPerSecond)
Min Flight time (all engines at full power): 13.333minutes (1% lasts 8second = every second it takes 0.125% of the fuel)
Max additional weight: 5000lbs (33.33% of the helicopters wheight)
Distance between cockpit and ground: 5feet (if you want to know the height of a surface you've landed on)
