SFM Helicopter Taxiing

Description
Taxi helicopters on the ground in Standard Flight Model, plus rolling take off and landing.

Controls
Wheel Brake Hold/Release - Toggle taxiing mode
Cyclic Forward - Taxi forward
Rope Interaction - Taxi forward

Usage
When controlling the helicopter, turn on Taxiing mode with the base game Wheel Brake control. Now when the engine is on, use Cyclic Forward or Rope Interaction to start to taxi on the ground. Use Pedal Left/Right to turn.

Since this is still SFM, you will probably need to input down collective to prevent lift off. A reasonable ground taxi speed is like 10 kph, for good turning control.
Max Taxi Speed can be set in CBA Settings.

Client side.
Script version.[github.com]

If you'd like alternative controls or UI, please let me know.

reverse taxiing for jet/planes

Hmm I suppose that could be quite similar. Are you talking about for slowing down or reverse taxiing?
Komodo 3 Jan @ 9:23am 
hi Ampersand, could you make a reverse thrust mod for planes if possible?
Ampersand  [author] 19 Nov, 2023 @ 10:22am 
Does it happen with just ZEN and CBA?

Idk what you expect to get in my mods' comments. Generally speaking you remove mods until you find what is breaking.

Dont have discord I told you this already. If you dont remember I brought it up on the TGT slew mod comments
Ampersand  [author] 17 Nov, 2023 @ 10:53am 
Not sure what you mean. Please discuss on ZEN discord.

Got it to work. If you enable the Taxiing with the parking break engaged it works fine.
