@FaLLin1 thank you, happy new year to you too, probably a couple more days and I’ll have the entire aircraft done, if I showed any pics it wouldn’t look that cool, but as soon as I got something to show I will
@FaLLin1 my current project is my UH-60 Blackhawk, mainly getting the front to rise up when collective is raised so I can fly level, as a said I have finally figured out my issue, then I will move on to other aircraft.
I hope in the new game that multiplayer allows us players to sit in the back of the aircraft as I’ve been designing my aircraft to carry the weight of players in case that possibility arises.
That and making camo paint schemes will be much easier
@FaLLin1 I’ll consider it, probably will be the last thing I do but I will most certainly consider it. The real reason why I don’t use heli rotors from the game is because they don’t really look all that realistic, and some of the functions i want aren’t there. There are certain helicopters with certain looking rotor shapes that only the custom rotors can do, downside is it takes up more part count.
@FaLLin1 I do have discord but I barely use it, I’m not that big into social media unlike a friend of mine, but thanks, especially for sending in that rotor, really helped.
@GHOSTAVIATION thanks for stopping by, but yeah i already got an answer, i don’t usually make these posts anymore since I’ve already gotten used to some funky trees, but thanks again.
@Thaflightgod1 good question, I never used a heli rotor, I built the rotor from scratch, it gives the helicopter more maneuverability. How it provides thrust is that I hid vtol nozzles in the blade tips. Those are then controlled by the vtol engine in the back.
@Dissent3R thanks for stopping by anyways, I’ve moved on from the game’s rotors as I am now making my own custom rotors. In other words, this is an old post.
@FaLLin1 thanks, that made me feel a little better, your right, a good refresh never fails, I’ll let you know when I start my Valor up again, and I think I have just the idea on how to do it.
@FaLLin1 well it’s too late for me to send you it as I deleted it, something that I’d rarely do, however I can remake it if I so need, the problem was by taking off, it would fly in weird ways, however this is probably because I got too mad and didn’t work out the problem.
This has been canceled due to its complexity, I have no clue how to make a “working” tilt rotor, so to avoid a massive headache, I’ll be making a fictional tilt rotor some other time.
@overlord5453 if you want, I recently let another player take a look at one of my builds and he believed it was a bug, but be my guest, I’ll tag you on a post
@TheMouse gotcha, I’ll link you two aircraft to compare with as I’d have to link you every one of them and I don’t want to bother you with that, thanks.
@overlord5453 well it’s too late now unfortunately, I’d have to restart that repositioning process all over again, I guess you could say I had a rage filled moment, I’ll try that process tomorrow and see how it goes
@overlord5453 I was testing to see if I could refuel my helicopters on the ship I had, I did some repositioning of the refueling drogue so it would be underneath.
And I think as soon as I removed the flight computer and added it back on my chopper, it started exploding, however it’s nothing to be concerned about as it works.
I just did some testing that was not really necessary, my goals were for it to be able to refuel a helicopter and haul it across the see, that and I wanted to to be prepared for simpleplanes 2 (if everything goes as planned).
@overlord5453 great, speaking of not being able to make everyone happy, I ran into an issue with my boat so it’ll be a long time before I even attempt to work on it again lol, worked very well until the end.
It can still be used to just land and take off though.
@overlord5453 sure I’ll be happy to take a look at it it, just post it the way you want and I’ll take a look, and about what you said on the physics, my choppers actually work on medium, if not I just rip off the rotors and post the airframe so others can build onto it, making everyone happy is a hard thing to do.
@overlord5453 unfortunately I tried this too, I don’t think simpleplanes has the ability do that kind of level of realism, so what I do to make it look like it’s flying like your average heli is I put vtol nozzles on the wing tips to, this can have ups and downs but it gives it more realistic abilities that the simpleplanes rotors don’t.
@MRFOXY09 cool, good luck! However I will be making Super stallion, which will be easier for me, I know a lot of people love the that marine helicopter.
@Babs22 I can help you with the spinning part, perks of being a fanatic of the Blackhawk and knowing how it works, you see the tail rotor’s sensitivity is something i couldn’t really stop so i highly recommend just giving it a little input (in other words, nudge) not a a whole lot, it’s especially weird when flying at higher speeds.
@Jundroo I would like the idea of lights that produce light on the ground or on the fuselage for cabin lighting or cockpit lighting like in Simplerockets 2 it’s kinda dark in the aircraft in simpleplanes at night.
This is amazing, definitely one of the greatest chinooks on this site, I’m making one right now, I'm using wing stabilizers as the rotors, any idea how to make the chinook not want to spin in circles?
@FaLLin1 most likely it will end up in my pipeline at some point, I wanna focus more on the Blackhawk, seeing know I may know how to make it now.
+1@FaLLin1 thank you, it was nice way to put my mind at ease, it’s my second favorite chopper
+1It’s beautiful, I’m always so worried on how wide it is, I’m struggling on making one, but yours gave me hope, great helicopter!
+1@FaLLin1 sure thing
+1@FaLLin1 thank you, happy new year to you too, probably a couple more days and I’ll have the entire aircraft done, if I showed any pics it wouldn’t look that cool, but as soon as I got something to show I will
+1@FaLLin1 yeah, it was a crazy idea, might not happen, but private rooms would be probably a good idea so you don’t get attacked by other players.

+1@FaLLin1 I am happy to announce that I am back on schedule, I’ve fixed the problem after months of hard work.
@Mosquitowithagun crop dusting
@GHOSTAVIATION thanks for stopping by, but yeah i already got an answer, i don’t usually make these posts anymore since I’ve already gotten used to some funky trees, but thanks again.
+1Beautiful machine, it’s amazing when everything comes together isn’t it, why I love Simpleplanes.

@Dissent3R I gotcha ya

@FaLLin1 thanks
+1@FaLLin1 okay, thanks, it’s always good do have multiple options for these things.
+1@overlord5453 okay, I’ll try it
@crazyplaness thanks anyways even if you didn’t know, appreciate it.
@FaLLin1 thanks, that made me feel a little better, your right, a good refresh never fails, I’ll let you know when I start my Valor up again, and I think I have just the idea on how to do it.

@overlord5453 I did that and i destroyed my aircraft and how it flies, sorry, maybe it’s best I just deal with it for now.
@overlord5453 interesting, I’ll keep take another look but I can’t say if I’ll be able to fix it or not
@RailfanEthan I’ll try that thanks, not sure if it will work or not.
@TheMouse gotcha, I’ll link you two aircraft to compare with as I’d have to link you every one of them and I don’t want to bother you with that, thanks.

@overlord5453 yes, with gyros, however the sensitivity is slower and makes the helicopter react slower to make it more realistic.
The lift makes the helicopter nose up and that helps with level flight, it’s extremely fun to fly.
@FaLLin1 thank you, will do
+1@MRFOXY09 sure thing, once I make it I will!
@FaLLin1 I kinda like it the way it is, I do in fact use blueprints, again this is my first realistic plane
+1@FaLLin1 sorry, didn’t have good angle pics
@126 you will not be forgotten my friend
+1@MRFOXY09 cool, good luck! However I will be making Super stallion, which will be easier for me, I know a lot of people love the that marine helicopter.
@MRFOXY09 sorry if it’s not exactly able to fly, maybe you or someone else can figure that out, tandem rotor helos are not my forte.
I thought it was a nice landing, in my opinion, sometimes it’s hard to tell.

@Babs22 alright, since you’ve asked and I have postponed this project a little too long, I’ll make it right after a make a plane.
Saw one of these a few weeks ago, awesome aircraft.
@MRFOXY09 thank you
@Jundroo I would like the idea of lights that produce light on the ground or on the fuselage for cabin lighting or cockpit lighting like in Simplerockets 2 it’s kinda dark in the aircraft in simpleplanes at night.
@Idonteatbeef check out the new one, it’s got better information on it, this is an old version.
This is amazing, definitely one of the greatest chinooks on this site, I’m making one right now, I'm using wing stabilizers as the rotors, any idea how to make the chinook not want to spin in circles?
@FaLLin1 alright thanks, I’ll check those out!
+1@FaLLin1 understandable, the chinook is not an easy helicopter to make, I’m currently stuck on the rotors due to their complexity.
