@Trainz448 Udate: after I deleted the gyroscope, I found that the signs on the throttle input need to be reversed in order for the heli to turn in the right direction. Also I found that the hack only works at a throttle smaller than 30%. After that, the RPM governor takes over and rotor speed is the same in both regardless of your input.
However you can trick the throttle governor into going faster or slower by instead of the engine speed, apply the yaw to the collective Pitch input of the rotors.
So top rotor: input collective (2nd tab on XML overload editor) =VTOL-0.3Yaw, bottom rotor: input = VTOL+0.3Yaw
@Sockdragger thanks for the tip!
Anyway, it's after 10 pm here in Memphis TN. I'll be back tomorrow
Love this one. Nice illustration of what one can do with just the basics and also a nice practical example of a working helicopter.
Ps, if you want to be able to turn your helicopter in hover Mode, click the top rotor and in XML replace the power input 'throttle' with 'Throttle +0.1'Yaw'. For the bottom rotor replace Throttle with 'Throttle -0.1 Yaw'
@DreamerIndusturies thanks
Nice helicopter!
I like it. It's very stable.
