How to make a helicopter in Easy Red 2
By TheCalcMan
Some basic steps and pictures showing the parameters I used to make the SA-342 helicopters in the pack I uploaded for the "We Were Brothers" modpack. Hopefully, they can help you save some time when making your own helicopters.


I would try out the helicopters in the pack here to see if that is the end product you want.

Step 1
Make a plane template with your helicopter model, using the ER2 SDK in Unity.
Step 2
Make an empty object, right-click on it and select "simple set up wheels". Then, copy the wheel collider that was created until you have 4 of them (but make sure that they are symmetrical to the center of the vehicle).
Step 3
Set up your wheels like this (yes, every wheel):
Step 4
Go back to the main parent of your vehicle and make these adjustments to the flight characteristics:

Step 5
Done!


For detailed instruction on how to control the helicopters:

- To take off: increase thrust to the maximum, wait 1 second after it hits full throttle, then pull up. The heli will shake but it'll stop eventually. If the helicopter turns abruptly to the side while taking off, wait another second before pulling up next time.
- To land: dive down, decrease the throttle all the way, and land as you would with a plane, keeping it as perfectly level as possible.
- To hover: decrease the throttle to the red bar and wait. Turning the helicopter should slow it down faster.



Tell me if I missed anything.
