Auto Credit Based on Thorne's Thorne Midge I
This is a build someone else made and I tweaked to fly more like a real helicopter. The initial build was actually the best I’ve ever seen on here, but a I made a few modifications to the settings of the blades. It flys most similarly to an r22 (the one i most experienced in) now. I put the main rotor drive on the trim slider and the tail rotor drive on the throttle so that you can do auto rotations without losing your tr. There are also wheels to simulate run on take offs and landings. Collective control is the vtol slider.

Works great and I’m glad you like it lol. Now that they added the rpm gauge I’ve been redoing the rotor settings for a more accurate rpm response and I’m getting similar numbers for ‘rotor tensor’ and ‘collective drag’, It’s impressive how you got it to work so accurately without the RPM information. Maybe you can give me your opinion on an updated version if I publish it; when I do I’ll add hemispheres to the bottom with reduced friction for run-ons like what you did using the wheels, I think that’s a great idea.
