Rotolib VSI Value

[reggaeman007jah 31]

Hi good people, 

 

I am trying to build up a personal HUD for heli flying, and I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to obtain the VSI (Vertical Speed Indicator) value.

 

Ideally there is a value I can just take (and display) - I have looked but can't locate this. 

 

Or, do I need to calculate the VSI by comparing altitude values vs time?

 

 

cheers

Vertical speed is nothing too complicated:

 

onEachFrame {
_v = velocity vehicle player;
_v params ["_x","_y","_z"];
hintsilent str _z;//vertical speed in meters per second
};

_z holds vertical speed, this will display a hint containing _z.
