helicopter rudder

[j0nes 194]

does anyone know (if one even exists) the animation source name for the rudder input in a chopper? I know helicopters in A2 like the KA52 had rudders, but I dont think they actually worked in game.

if theres not a way to do it with a pure animation source, is it possible to do it with a script?

[j0nes 194]

ok, so I dug and its not in the animation source name but you can run the animation through a script and user animation with this line:

			if(inputaction "helirudderleft" > 0.01) then
		{
			animationstate set (part, amount)?
		};

not quite sure on the syntax of the middle part, but thats the basic idea

You put it in the model.cfg. It would look something like this.

class Rudder: Rotation {
source="rudder";
selection="rudder";
axis="rudder_axis";
minValue=-1.000000;
maxValue=1.000000;
angle0=-0.375246;
angle1=0.375246;
};

Please bear in mind this is for planes, but I imagine it would work for a helicopter just the same.

NOTE: This would also require you to create a whole new helicopter addon from scratch.

exactly what Im doing, and I tried that already, unfortunately it doesnt work for helis

Hm... helis don't actually have rudders as such, what are you trying to achieve?

[j0nes 194]

well Im making a helicopter with rotors out to the side like wings, but I dont want to follow the path of the osprey and configure it as a plane because of the terrible flight characteristics in vertical flight.

IN 2022, I search exactly the  same thing (I work with Sithblack on AIRWOLF) : What we must have in the config file and in the p3D to have pilot leg and the rudder wich move on the game......????

Please, is there a developper (Bohemia?) which can give those essential informations to help make the addOn?

 

Thanks for help. I didn"t find this whereas I search since long time....
