@ScorpionTracker Definitely, I told someone I would earlier but could not find the time. I might take a few weeks to make one. Let me know if you have any questions in the mean time. I'll get a tutorial out by the new year.
@JaySto I think it would only work on vr but I have have small joystick handles hidden in the knobs on either side at the bottom of the directional gyro’s frame. If you grab them in vr, it should latch onto them where you can twist them to adjust the heading bug and the heading. Let me know if that helps!
@ImSimon Once the engine is running you can twist the throttle, which is located at the end of the collective to your left. Also, the blades will only spin once the clutch has fully engaged.
Let me know if this helps, I can also publish a video of the startup on YouTube if needed
@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
The shape is amazing
@dabestsock I've been procrastinating on publishing a video tutorial lol. I'll share one soon
Really nicely done. I'm surprised it wasn't noticed more!
I wasn’t planning on making and fpv bomb drone initially but it works really well for one. I see there aren’t any around somehow. Any thoughts?

+1Awesome build! I like the clean edges
@SomeAircraftGuy Smol gadget is troo
@Coldsteel Thank you
Awesome design
This is awesome. It feels so clean. This is one of my favorites now, the design is wicked. I like the note on the skids too lol
lol Thanks for featuring the Midge! Awesome video
@DarkZk Absolutely, I’ll record the startup procedure and share it. Is there any particular part of the startup that you’re unsure about?

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
