FredAirland 14 Posted November 13, 2017 Hi, After having succesfully modded the flight models for Take On Helicopters I would like to improve the rotorLib parameters in Arma 3 to see if I can replicate the behaviors I have reached in Microsoft FSX using my own helicopter physics addon (Helicopter Total Realism or HTR) In TKOH it was quite simple as I just had to extract the XML files from the PBO's and put them in a specific Hsim Directory. I am not an expert in Arma 3 editing (but would like to become one) ,but I am pretty sure that with some help from the people I can get very realistic and improved flight dynamics. I actually would like to split the work in 3 steps: 1. Edit and publish the improved dynamics editing parameters from the Rotorlib XML files. 2. Change the config files of the helicopters to see if I can improve the behavior 3. More of a long term project, port my HTR library to Arma 3 for a completely realistic helicopter flight experience... Thanks Fred 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3244 Posted November 13, 2017 Fred is this more of an announcement or what are the questions you have? Overall I suggest you to join the arma discord. You will get good assistance there. Dev branch, diag.exe and mergeConfig is must use to reduce tweaking efforts. Maybe unpacked data/file patching if it works with the xml (probably not though). A3 might have a few more useful sqf commands and callExtension could be useful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FredAirland 14 Posted November 13, 2017 Hi Kju, your discord suggestion is a good one I will definitely join... The main question is really how to do step 1 in the easiest way possible, I hoped I did not need to pack data but so be it... devbranch and diag.exe is a good starting point thanks !

jacobs 165 Posted November 14, 2017 I'm really interested on this project. I use HTR on FSX, think it improves the feel of helicopters A LOT! Hope you can bring this experience to A3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
