T-63D
Intro
The T-63D is an improved version of my T-63A helicopter.
Improvements:
Better FT Yaw Code
In the T-63A, when you would yaw, the helicopter would go up or down a bit. I fixed that issue in the D version.Slightly Improved Design
The T-63A didn't have any doors. Afterwards, I experimented with a side door that could open and close, but decided to scrap that for a open rear door (the side door would also limit where i put stub wings for missiles and such).
Controls
- AG1: Rotor startup
- AG2: Master arm
- AG3-8: --
- Throttle: Collective
- VTOL: Rotor trim [Pitch axis]
Armament
- Infernos [modified]: 4
- Rockets: 36
Specs
- Top Speed: ~160 mph [90% Throttle]
- Max Altitude: ~15000 ft
Notes
This helicopter can hover easily (with very low airspeed, collective determines how high you want to go).
For normal flight (no crazy maneuvers), I would recommend using 60-65% throttle. This is basically the helicopter's cruising throttle setting.
The rotor yaw control works well up till about 80-85 mph (at that point the vertical stabilizer overpowers the rotor yaw).
There is still a ton of room for improvement (the rotor yaw could be more powerful, better flight controls, etc.),
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this helicopter. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to make it better than the A version, and I'm proud of the outcome.
