Would you say that this is still a valid example of how to setup a helicopter? What do I mean by that exactly? Well . . . I played this game a lot about 4 years ago. Must've been a couple hundred hours actually. I think I had decent mastery of the game back then and if memory serves, most all of my constructs functioned as I wanted them too: with some degree of automated AI control and mostly all with the capacity for the player to hop on and drive too. My designs overall were terrible but that is a different story compared to just basically functioning! Now I find that very few if any of my constructs function and in particular mapping thrusters and getting air stuff to handle properly. This video is priceless for someone who is trying to figure out how the "AI" in the game functions because you actually show most all the steps you followed to get that thing functioning.

Assuming I javen't forgotten most of the things in this video... yes, this still is a decent guide for how to make a heli. 👍 Worth noting that dediblades are due to be (or already have been) replaced by propeller systems that function pretty much the same way.

@seanwarren9357 3 жыл бұрын
@@Spacemarine658 not exactly, you have to think about the engines having dynamic loads based on environmental factors and how that effects thrust generated by different pitch angles, air speeds, atmos density/humidity/etc... the rear rotor does counter the torque, but both have variable pitch, and different configurations exist that could preclude a tail rotor entirely by using counter rotating main rotor blades to balance out the torque generated by their rotation or in the case of the chinook that has offset counter rotating rotors, or the osprey... Vtol is a fascinating platform for alot of reasons, but mostly its ability to do just that, land anywhere. It all really depends on application and such, to say nothing of innovation and generally rich or powerful people just doing weird shit to say they did. XD The FAA has all the manuals available for rotorcraft licensing for free on their site if you're into that stuff. Also check out the navair manuals NA 01-1A-01 02 and so on... It's all pretty deep... I particularly like the composites manual and the o1-1a -16 as it's on inspection, the 2 most complicated specialist schools I had the privilege of going to dealt with those. All the airframes and powerplants have their own as well, all of which are pretty awesome.

Not strictly true regarding mass and lift centers. With hovering things, yes, you want the COM as close as possible to the COL. With planes and the like, you want the COL to be close, but just behind the COM, unless you're using more aggressive PID settings to keep the aircraft stable. With the COL behind the COM, an aircraft has positive stability, meaning that it tends to return to its original attitude when perturbed. With it in front, it has negative stability, meaning that perturbations tend to force it further from its original attitude. Positive stability is great for, well, stable aircraft, but has the drawback of being less maneuverable. Negative stability makes for more maneuverable aircraft, but requires more aggressive control systems to keep it stable and controllable - such is the case with the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

I agree that building big helicopters is pointless, I made a very small helicopter (no longer than 10m) with missiles and a projectile avoidance routine, the result was an annoying fly for any enemies without AA and very cost-effective, while my larger helicopters can't survive as long despite being well armored. I initally made it as a little experiment, but I ended up learning that bigger isn't always better. I still like to make oversized ships tho

I hope they eventually add antiradiation missile seekers that follow enemy radar signals back to their source. They've got lots of other real-life guidance systems, and that would be an interesting one that could take the wind out of radar's sails, considering it's already pretty much the best general-purpose detection system.

@Cam-sl8ve 2 жыл бұрын
@@BorderWise12 I accidently found out how. If you increase the max pitch for forwards/backwards movement in the AI the helicopter (or at least mine) will pitch downwards at a greater angle when moving, then you simply adjust the upwards force fraction on the main up/down dediblade to suit your needs whether you want more forwards speed or more altitude power. I'm a nub so maybe there's something up with my heli that allows this freaky behaviour... but it flies like a real heli now.

You can also use 2 spin blocks to use the top rotor for your forward and sideways thrust, like IRL. The pitch rotor would be where your PID is, with your roll right below that rotor. It also lets you even more easily control those two axis with the rotor head, especially if you add a very slight always up fraction.

@@Njordin2010 You need to place one spin block pointing forward, and attach one to that pointing left-right. Set the one pointing forward as roll, and maybe slightly yaw, but go very small until you have the craft completed. Set the one pointing left-right as pitch, and a small amount forward/backward. Once again, start small, with the lateral movement angle controls at most half the rotational.

The thing with helicopters is you aren't supposed to be hit, most of the time you aren't even supposed to be seen. Helicopters are supposed to use terrain as cover and attack with missiles from their maximum range. But considering how combat looks like in FTD they are pretty useless in the game. And now I think about building stealth heli with long-range missiles.

@zuthalsoraniz6764 3 жыл бұрын
Well, real-life helicopters use the tail rotor for steering too, except with them of course it has to be constantly running to counteract the main rotor torque. But if it is adjusted to produce more or less thrust than normal, it's going to result in a net yaw torque on the helicopter.
@Varadiio 3 жыл бұрын
The tail rotor is also closer to the rotation force of the main rotor, as opposed to the center of mass. Something useful for real life physics but not present in FtD.

I can confirm that it is very vulnerable to being shot, though in full throttle with the rotors pitched fully forward, it caaan survive well enough thanks to some fixed wings (tilting wings in FTD do not behave very nicely)
