Daniel 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Quote[/b] ]Aren't 53's supposed to have a downward leaning main rotor? If its a game limitation on that issue then never mind. Yep, they do. Check this video for proof. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-o 0 Posted August 31, 2005 No it doesnt , how it goes is when a helicopter turn his nose up and down , the main rotor itself is leaning up or down.and that is what you have seen in your video.He pulled his nose up too fast  , and the main rotor couldnt , so it sliced up his fuel rod. and making that in OFP is just another limitation.

Wa_Va_Voom 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Seriously I think having a variable main rotor is way too much work for such a small detail and is impracticle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gedis 0 Posted September 1, 2005 what a heck you are talking about?! main rotor on every hellicopter moves up and down, right and left... main and tail rotor blades also are movable, but not up/down or left/right, but they turn with some angle... in that vid, stallion is flying to fast to move his main rotor up or down slightly like at low speeds, because hellicopters aerodynamics balances it to the horizontal possition, and the refuel probe was cut off, because pilot hit joystick too fast and heli disbalanced, the rotor moved down and pilot was still holding joystick in same place, then he pulled it too much to retain lost altitude and front moved up, while main rotor was in turned down mode, so he cut his fuel probe... it's as simple as it is... and OFPs heli controls are acceptable... just wait when i will show you all Pave Lows crazy flight in real... I knew that they are well equiped with new engines and etc., but i didn't knew they can fly like a fighter... Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-HUNTER- 1 Posted September 1, 2005 the blades of a rotor are similiar to the wings on a aircraft but instead of a engine pulling the aircraft forward thrue the air to gain lift. The wings themselves rotate to gain lift. And when they have gained enough speed and therefor lift, the "wings" rotors will go up a bit just like the wings on a glider! That must have spoiled the pilots day for sure! I do wonder though how far the rotorblades could come down, they are really big on that type of helo. On the discovery channel there was something about attack helicopters. And they mentioned that in most helicopters when you move the stick from all the way left to all the way right fast you have probally broken something in the aircraft! Isnt that a nice thought! Doing insane uber movements in OFP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted September 1, 2005 hehe, that was a program about the Commanche, saying that in most aircraft, you move the stick to one side in a sudden motion and you've probably broke something. It then went on to say that the Commanche had digital features that stopped you from breaking anything from sudden stick movements. Poor Commanche... Â Anyway, back on topic.

-HUNTER- 1 Posted September 1, 2005 yeah thats it! HAHAH well if you consider that DKM have released their commanche a really long time ago and its still a very good addon for OFP! [/th] excuse me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wa_Va_Voom 0 Posted September 2, 2005 Is it possible to add a Rear Gunner Slot on the Ch-53 ? You can but it will be the only gun on the whole chopper becuase you can only add one proxy weapon on a vehicle (without a scripts [none have been made yet]), its a limitation in OFP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackScorpion 0 Posted September 2, 2005 Heh, nice video, Gedis, but after spending the past week learning to fly choppers in FS2004... Not that special. The pilot is talented, though, no doubt of that. Choppers are only aircraft, after all. Anyways... Can't wait to get to fly those, FK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm 9 Posted September 3, 2005 Heh, nice video, Gedis, but after spending the past week learning to fly choppers in FS2004... Not that special. The pilot is talented, though, no doubt of that. The M$ Flight Sim series is actually pretty poor at simulating helicopters. Its a LOT harder than how it is portrayed in M$ F$. New units are indeed looking good fish, nice work!

gatordev 218 Posted September 3, 2005 That particular maneuver is called a crossover. Basic Formation manuever, although it was pretty aggressive and looked badass for the troops on the ground. Back on topic, looking forward to your helos, FK. I'm sure it' probably too late, but if you had an opportunity, the Marine -53Ds should be pouring black smoke out their tail pipes. Their nicknamed "Sh!tters" for a reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dabitup 0 Posted September 3, 2005 wow Gedis, that is a sweet video! and to FK, I've said it once and I'll say it again, looking great!
