@SuperVirus38 That’s awesome you remembered it so fast! It usually takes a while to pick these things up!
As for ground effect, I think simpleplanes already has ground effect built into the rotor blade’s xml variables. I can’t remember if I modified it but if it is set right, you should notice it start to need less power once you are one rotor diameter’s width above ground level.
For an Apache, I don’t know how accurate I could make one since I’ve never flown or seen one up close, but I might be able to make a plausible replica based on publicly available information! That might be a fun project in the future.
@JPplays The mixture is connected to Group 1 which is either 0 or 1 so it can only be pushed all the way in or pulled all the way out. Try pushing it further forward and let me know if you’re still having trouble
@ollielebanania Thank you, that's awesome to hear, I didn't even realize that anyone still remembered it! I saw the trailer for Simpleplanes 2 and figured I better post it now in case it won't be compatible.
@PriusCat I think most of the switches work through variables, I went back and checked and noticed that the fuel mixture is linked to group 1 and the clutch group 2. I like the aftermarket doors idea! I’d love to see them when you’re done lol
@Apollo018362 The RPM gauge is the one on the bottom left that says “Throttle”. The smaller needle represents Engine RPM while the fat one is Rotor RPM. The green range is the normal operating range for the rotor in flight, while the red spots are the limits
Note
If you’re having trouble with the startup procedure, try this version which comes already started. Just note that some of the features will not work.
@KSB24 man, those are awesome! Thanks! I’ll try putting them together tonight! How would you like me to credit you on the post? Would you like link to your account? I could even include a billboard for one of your uploads lol.
Beyond being a game, SimplePlanes paired with SimplePlanes VR is an affordable tool for developing proof of concepts. I can’t think of anything comparable in its price range.
It is also impressive that certain features (especially looking at the helicopter system and its variables) aren’t seen in any other flight simulator sold as a game.
Man your swashplate is insane, it’s so smooth!

Nice
@OrangeyAeronautics lol
@OrangeyAeronautics yeah, tag me
@Weaponcollection bed sheets are great
@TheHamburgerCorperation Thank you! I’m glad you like it 😎
@ollielebanania awesome, I think I added you through the simpleplanes group
@Nasafan9999 ure?

@SuperVirus38 you like it?
Sure, I’ll try remaking it!

Looks and flies better than the original
Wicked transition into a plane. Caught me off guard when I started pressing buttons lol
Awesome build for your first post
I’ll support Alberta
I love the shape you went for
Nice build
I like the way you made the instrument panel, it feels like it was designed by Ferrari lol
It flies really nice as a zeppelin
@Graingy Incredible

Would Jundroo consider selling SimplePlanes? Or does it plan on holding it?
+1Awesome ship
Nice job with the displays!
+1@OrionProductions You’re welcome!
@TheCaper awesome! Have you tried doing the logo?
