Nicely done. I always like it when someone builds this helicopter.
My ec135 version 2 is coming soon, i would like to see how it compares to your finished model.
@Krikkit42 I will try to fix this issue in the next version. After takeoff, the main rotor creates a strong rotational moment, but I don’t know how to reduce the torque in the xml settings. In flight this issue isn’t as noticeable, and you can counteract it with the Trim settings on the right lever
The next version will include:
-Improved flight dynamics
-Improved VR cockpit capability (suggested by AndrewGarrison)
-Improved Interior and Exterior details and functionality
Many people have rightfully complained about the problematic flight dynamics, especially the turning of the craft while hovering. This problem will be fixed in the next version. If you already want to fix it right now, so that you can fully enjoy flying the craft, then follow this guide:
-Chose the main rotor
-Enter Overload
-Click on “Part” and scroll down to “RotorPerfScalars” with the grey bar on the right
-Set “CollectiveTorque” and “CyclicMotorDragTorque” to 0
-Done
@Soardivision160th Yes I do use IOS. First you take three screenshots and use a drawing app or similar to combine them into one big picture. Then you chose a blueprint view, for example the top view, and insert the picture. When you upload your craft, be sure to be in this orientation, then you can resize the camera and take pictures of the blueprint. I hope this helps
@TheAviationBoy I actually used the Aerofly model as reference while building, but I don’t think the blades of the SimplePlanes rotor bend. They do simulate the momentum in the blades like in Aerofly though, so you can do autorotation etc, where the rotor rpm’s rise when flying downward without power
Pretty nice 👍🏻 8

@Kangy Thanks, I tried the best I could

+1@TheGliderGuy Thanks, I’m doing well. Sadly I can’t participate this time, I’m writing exams in my aerospace degree right now
How are you doing glider guy? I remember participating in the last challenge two years ago. Time really does fly
@AC13OU Yes sure, as log as the craft is a successor to this post I don’t mind. Good luck 👍🏻
@TheGliderGuy No problem, im here for the fun of building and the community, not for the internet points
Thank you very much for awarding me first place! I really enjoyed this challenge, and it was nice to see all the gliders you guys made👍🏻
Can i still participate? I would like to make an accurate ASG 29 Schleicher
Cool helicopter, good job!
Seriously? This is a direct copy of my craft without a single change! Same livery, same part count, same performance cost…

Thank you all for the positive feedback
