Advanced flying

[flow0815]

Not sure what you mean, but if you want to get rid of the whacky flight controlls (in epoch) un pack the mission file and edit this;

 

forceRotorLibSimulation = 1;

in description.ext to

forceRotorLibSimulation = 0;

 

And it will be more like the regular flight in ArmA

Thanks for this. Other one is really bad...

I like the rotorlib once you get the hang of it it is rather satisfying. Just take it slow watch the gauges and the round circle. Makes 1st person flying awesome :)

[vbawol]

is this function available or must it add?

You need to add it to the cfg as it is a new command available in 1.36.

It's actually the only chopper that doesn't use rotorlib.  The controls are tight but managable.

 

Oh.. coolage

Thanks for everyones help changing the forceRotorLibSimulation = 1; to 0 helped now im not watching heli fall from the sky :-)

 

​P.S feel free to lock this as the situation has now been resolved

Noooobs!  Yeah it is a bit of a learning curve.  I believe there's a test flight mission thing for Arma 3 itself, is there not?  I've wrecked a few helis myself, but I'll get the hang of it.

 

 This thing is crazy sensitive. So easy to flip the thing over. Find it way harder to fly than the sim settings.

Yeah, the thing feels like you've been shrunk and are sitting in a remote controlled model heli lol.  I did the same thing, I was marveling at its nimble-ness, banked hard and it just fell out of the sky lol.  You just have to get used to it, can't be using any crazy sensitive settings.  It's slower so it's going to drop faster when you bank and turn.  I don't think it's as hard as flying one of the advanced helis though. o_O

 

 

Well it is just a bunch of metal stock welded together by some dude in their backyard lol.  

Flying scrap metal.

We did so .. and it works! :) Thx4Support

so i have to put "forceRotorLibSimulation = 0;" in my server.cfg or epochconfig.hpp?

[Pasi]

I hope this doesn't become a thing on new and old servers.
Rotorlib is something I look for in a server.

so i have to put "forceRotorLibSimulation = 0;" in my server.cfg or epochconfig.hpp?

We put it in SC/config.cfg an in  @EpochHive/config.hpp. And it works. 

[TrunksBLN]

alright. thx :)

[aposnow]

yeah i have to say i prefer it being really hard to fly.. stops it being a less common sight.... i dont know why people cant just learn the new flight model i mean its easy.. if its that hard you maybe need to not be flyig anyway xD

Take Off and flight is (with some practise) manageable. I found that flying the Littlebird in strong winds is a real pain in the ass. I flew 3 times in epoch now and 2 out of these 3 landings caused a huge fireball :D but i'll practise :D

[FrenzyFire000]

My biggest issue was with my fight stick it seems. Getting the right dead zone to configure to match the game settings. I do fine if I use the keyboard but to get the rotor up to speed if the deadzone kicks in is a pain, but I have done much better since the day I started this. Have not crashed since.

 

Thanks for the feedback.
