YF-21a 'Magpie' (Heavy Assault Helicopter)

3,175 Neenyboy  6.6 years ago

(Control schemes and Description below PLEASE READ.)

Hey! This is my first fully functional Helicopter design with actual 'realistic' helicopter handling characteristics also with and addition of a fully working gimbaling and usable Turret! Please remember to download, upvote and follow for more upcoming designs! Also comment your feedback so I can keep improving! Ta!

Description:
The 'Magpie' is a heavy attack Helicopter filling the role as a close air support unit backing up infantry with heavy, accurate firepower from longer and safer ranges and for taking out heavy fortified positions and heavier armour a normal infantry-man would struggle with.

Controls:
1- Enables gyroscopes (Must use!)
2- Enables Pitch rudder.
3- Enables Turret gimbaling mode. (Use VTOL slider and Trim sliders to aim)
4- Turn on lights
5-Around 70-75 throttle is your best bet for a stable hover.
Cameras:
1-1st person can.
2-Turret cam! Moves and aims with the gun.

Hope you enjoy this creation! It took a while to tweak and I kept a fun simple design so it could run on lower systems! For the looks I'd say it's a smash up of a cobra and Apache.

    @Strikefighter04 ta for the upvote and yeah! I was going for an Apache super cobra mix. Whatcha think of the handling and the turret system?
