Luckily, this thing probably won't get that much attention, so I don't need to worry about going crazy with any descriptions. All this will be found in the "Aircraft Instructions" on the model itself. This thing is not meant to be fancy, it's meant to be lite, easy to use on a phone, and emulate a helicopter in performance. Intended to be study material on my mobile device, and be curated on my profile for anyone who happens to stumble onto this thing. Yeah, and it has some VR support.
TH-3 SKIP (Simulated Kinetic Input Platform)
The TH-3 is a Training Helicopter designed to assist in training the fundamentals of helicopter flight. Most controls are found in the Cockpit, however, for mobile use, follow the guide below.
Controls:
AG1: Engine Start
AG2: Canopy Door
AG3: N/A Extra Slot (Button)
AG4: Ground Taxi Engine
AG5: Auto Pilot / Flight Assist
AG6: Lights
AG7: N/A Extra Slot (Switch)
AG8: Disable / Enable Controls
VTOL: Collective Pitch
TRIM: Gun Depression
An additional YAW Lever has been added right behind the collective lever for VR use.
Startup: When starting an aircraft like this in real life, first turn on the battery, activate the APU, and activate the starter switch. For SP, this process is simulated by simply activating AG1.
Autopilot / Flight Assist: This aircraft was designed to be flown without the use of a gyro. In real flight, the spinning of the rotors creates this effect for the pilot. For situations when more stability is needed, AG5 can be used as both an Auto Pilot, and Flight Assist for more traditional SP helicopter flights.
VSI: Vertical Speed Indicator is important for helicopters, it'll be in the top left-hand corner of your cockpit, and will let you know how fast you are descending, as well alert you if your approach for a landing is unsafe by flashing "Warning".

First time I’ve ever been able to spotlight you
Handsome!
@Directbean724 trust me, it's a pain, but what I do is open notepad, do some copy pasting on those labels, and overtime you start to pick up on some strings, in the meantime copy paste will be your friend. I'm not stingy, so feel free to grab the line off my stuff if you want.
@EchoWhiskey11 Okay thank you for taking your time to fill my empty skull
@Directbean724 but yes, you can use the Labels in the Instrument Interiors,l input some code, and there you go, you can make a HUD, some indicators, and all kinds of crazy stuff.
@EchoWhiskey11 What's Funky trees? I know the xml editor pretty good but I don't know anything about code.
@Directbean724 Look up PlanariaLabs and HUD, he made a HUD the base code for this one a while back. I made some changes to it to fit what I wanted. I'm not going to lie, FunkyTrees can be kind of a nightmare sometimes, but feel free to use the one I got if you want.
Can you please tell me how you make a HUD like that?
