Denel CSH-2 Rooivalk (For Liyicheng) **New Version Available**

427 RoroSmash  3.4 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Liyicheng's Good-bye Simpleplanes......

Updated version (paste into new tab) : https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/HGJYN5/Denel-CSH-2-Rooivalk

In only a day and a half I have completed Liyicheng’s request for a Rooivalk Helicopter, unfortunatly I’m not sure he will be able to see it, but it is here regardless. There are a few minor problems where the helicopter will lean to the right or left for no reason, I’ve managed to counteract this using dead wieght. Also the glass on the cockpit is wonky and I am aware of that too, thats because the angle on the cockpit were weird and I just went with it (I also suck at cockpits you’ll see lmao). The gun also had to be simplified because the old one was causing far to many problems with its mount. If you want to perfect this build by all means do so, I just ask that you give Liyicheng and I credit for the idea and creation, I would also love to see what you’ve done so if you want to leave a link in the comments I’ll go check it out! Finally I would like to dedicate this build to Liyicheng. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

P.S if you can make that chunk of helicopter underneath the rotor more rounded at the front I would love to see, it broke my game whenever I tried so I just kinda gave up lol

EDIT: Forgot to include instructions lol. Ag-1: Turn on engines, Ag-2 + VTOL + Trim: Main gun control, Ag-3 + VTOL: Pitch (not really necessary as it leans forward just enough due to the dead weight), nothing else is bound to Ag’s that I know of, I haven’t touched anything that Liyicheng did except maybe the main gun. If you make an edit and want me to add it to this build leave a link to just the part attached to a cockpit, and a link to your version (both in comment) so I can see where it goes... or you can just leave a link and I’ll put it in the description, either one works! That’s all for now until I finish putting markings and whatnot on it.
