Multi-purpose SAR Helicopter Stroewe 10

Description
This is an easy to use, multi-purpose helicopter. The controls are rather minimalistic, there are no more buttons than necessary for operation. It is fully equipped for career SAR and towing missions.

Specs:
Topspeed: 72ms/140knots
Range: 450km
Diesel capacity: 1750L
Mass: 3005
Cost: 29814
Payload: 5000 mass

Startup:
- Press 1 in either pilot or copilot seat
- wait a few seconds for the rotors to spool up

Features:
- Position hold
- Autopilot: The Autopilot compensates for cross winds, so if your target heading seems to be slightly off, that is why.
- Winch system with Man-overboard detection. Should no player be in or near the vehicle, the winch is automatically lowered. When using a yellow harness, you can control your current winch with hotkey 1 and the opposite winch with hotkey 2. This system automatically turns off at speeds over 30m/s.
- Radar to Gps: Calculates the position of radar targets which can then be entered into the navigation system. The radar only detects targets in front of the vehicle. You can also use the radar to let the heli follow a vehicle, for example the hospital ship. This allows you to easily transfer Npcs to the ship when its moving.
- Triangulate Transponders: Upon activation, the vehicle will autonomously fly to 3 different points and take measurements. Once its finished, the transponders calculated gps position is automatically entered into the navigation system and stays there until the triangulation system is turned off. For best accuracy, point the vehicle in roughly the direction you expect the transponder to be when starting the system.
- Payload on the hook is 5000 mass. This is enough for containers and most, if not all, career towing missions. Make sure the rope is long enough to clear the tail rotor.
- Autolanding: If you have a landing pad with a physics sensor in the middle, this helicopter can receive the sensors broadcasted position and automatically land on it. To do this, first activate the flip switch "Search for Autolanding Target". Then use the keypad on the right to enter the radio frequency. If the system found a landing target, the upper right indicator will light up. Now just press the "Start Autolanding" button below the indicator to start the process.
- Ready for water landings. This helicopter can safely land in and start from water. The self righting fuselage makes this reliable even in rough sea.
- Moon Pool: Thanks to an automatic pressurization and bilge pump system, you safely enter and leave the vehicle through the bottom hatch when landed in water.
- Automatic heater
- Control is possible from either seat. The vehicle automatically detects which seat is used. Should both seats be used, priority is given to the left seat. There is a button to set priority to the right seat.
- Belly camera: By looking through the viewing scope, you can look directly down.
- Diesel out pumps to do refuel missions.

Controls:
AD: Roll when no assist turned on or in Autohover / Shift target position left/right when in position hold or Autopilot
WS: Pitch when no assist turned on or in Autohover / Shift target position front/back when in position hold or Autopilot
Left/Right: Yaw
Up/Down: Increase/Decrease collective when no assist turned on or in Autohover / Set target height when in position hold or Autopilot
1: Turn vehicle on/off
2: Auto hover
3: Reset collective
4: Position hold
5: Autopilot

Controls in Harness:
1: Winch up/down
2: Opposite winch up/down (only in yellow harness)

Notes:
- If you find the visibility at maximum pitch uncomfortable, you can reduce the Pitch limit Slider on the main microcontroller. This will also reduce the topspeed.
- If you find that the Autolanding process approaches too low to clear obstacles, like a drilling tower on an oilrig, you can increase the Autolanding Height Offset on the main microcontroller.
