Description
From the cheesy 90s TV show! (Excerpts inlaid in demo video, above.) This version predominantly uses Better Future blocks to more closely imitate the sleek two tone helicopter in the show. This also makes it much lighter and faster (162mph boost) than my first version that was mostly Hawkeye. Here on the workshop: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1834553853

Hidden BF Adjustment Thrusters control pitch and roll and give bonus lift. The weaker All-Axis Gyro in this build allows more roll freedom. So this one can strafe while hovering and perform banked turns while boosting (as seen in the show and the demonstration video above). Four BF Medium Boosters let it easily loop the loop.

It has very limited battery power and no shields, just a Repair Bubble. The weapons are mostly for appearance but it shows off the new, small retractable HE Landing Gear very nicely. :-)

Warning - modifying the weight distribution of this helicopter can very easily give it the stall glitch when pitching (as with most proper helicopters, currently).

It should work fine with the default "Helicopter" control scheme (and default key bindings). But I added my own custom scheme with some tweaks to have the main steering controls all around WASD, on the one hand, freeing the other for mouse camera control.

@BoBo - For the exploding part, if you're in creative mode, you could tick the option to make player techs invulnerable.

For the flying part, helicopter controls can be fiddly to get a feel for. It's perfectly fine to change the control scheme key bindings around to make it more logical for yourself.

And for aircraft with throttled lift, like this, it's very difficult to control height by throttling it up and down. So it's better to set it a little above necessary (~70-80% if I recall correctly), then use pitch controls (lean forwards/back) to lose or gain a little altitude.Possibly in conjunction with the boosters, to give a quick spurt of speed.

Also, I'm eager to hear any criticism at all of this item (or my work in general), given that this has picked up another 2 negative ratings. In total that's 7 up, 3 down - more than any other of my items.

Is there something bad about the build or did I make a goof with something related to the show? Or are people just fed up of my builds on the front page...?

Thanks all.:sfsmile:

@SliderBaine1970 - it was mostly the other way around, in that I cut the helicopter clips (from the theme tune video linked above) to best fit the game footage. The actual introduction is in large part showing the cast and not much aerobatics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULfmowbNlK0
