an auto-piolot and auto-altitude hold would be useful! Just an idea!

also, it would make sense if this thing was water-proof. Most things like this seal pretty-well, so if I crash, it shouldn't flood... just a thought!

Don't worry, the amphibious version is nearly done. I should have it released by the end of the day. That one will be able to land without sinking.

There's been some issues with upgrading to autopilot though as the way that works requires me to locate space for the micro and some other bits.

hmm... heres' an idea:

A Mk 2 that is less modeled off of, and more "inspired by". It is able to land on both water and land (The pontoons have wheels, and can also be lifted up to allow better wheels)

the Mk 2 has a larger door into the cockpit, stairs, and so on. Maybe even a couple of rooms (A main room, master bedroom, small garage (room for a small motorcycle/ trike), bunk room, and bathroom)

Still small, but larger. Perhaps, even a balcony! Maybe the enjine can be accessed from the inside?

Perhaps, like the River 35 Amphibious Motorhome, when in water mode (In this case "Landed on water" mode) (A sensor could do that), it will open a balcony! Maybe even with liferaft?

Just a thought!

Talked it over with a buddy and we'll definitely look into this. I can think of a few ways to deal with the pontoons & wheels, it really will come down to which is more server friendly and what looks cool.

Funny enough, I've actually got a hand powered trike sitting around in some of my saves that'd probably work perfectly for this.

great!

What would be really neat would be if we where given a version of the crank connected to a seat, and pressing w/s produces torque! Ah, we can hope...

im doing what you said to start it up but the engine wont build rps i have the throttle at max what do i do

Here's a quick review of the startup process:

Just make sure you have all three of the little buttons on the driver's side set to on, the throttle is set to 1.000, then use the arrow keys to lift up or down and W/S to go forward or backwards.

so I'm following your startup guide here and i just cant get the heli to fly. the float version works just fine for me but the non-float version cant get up to speed. what have i done wrong here?

Thanks for bringing this error to my attention.

It seems during a more recent update I made a pretty big design mistake by rotating a block in the fuel line. I've now updated the newest version to fix that.

Since Steam takes a long time to update WS items it might be quicker to fix it on your end too. To do so just look under the belly of the heli and look for the unpainted(light gray) block with a pipe hole on the bottom. Then copy that T-piece pipe and rotate it until all openings connect to the others. - If you still can't find it, it should be really close by the red hose anchor.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Private Colceri thanks so much! i'll give it a shot right now and thank you for your creations! love the heli-campers
