[How-to] Make helicopters faster

sight · 2019-03-19T17:43:25.635Z

Is there a way to make a helicopter faster? polmav or any other? I saw the handling.meta and I started increasing randomly but I don’t really know how do I make it faster

Nevermind, I found it in the CFlyingHandlingData item type fThrust Parameter

what parameter?

The higher the value, the faster aircraft will be.

fThrustFallOff

fThrustVectoring

fYawMult

fYawStabilise

fSideSlipMult

Side rudder force.

fRollMult

fRollStabilise

fPitchMult

fPitchStabilise

fFormLiftMult

Base lift factor that’s independent from wing’s attack angle.

fAttackLiftMult

Lift factor of the wing’s attack angle while rising.

fAttackDiveMult

Lift factor of the wing’s attack angle while diving.

fGearDownDragV

fGearDownLiftMult

fWindMult

Wind influence.

fMoveRes

vecTurnRes

vecSpeedRes

fGearDoorFrontOpen

fGearDoorRearOpen

fGearDoorRearOpen2

fGearDoorRearMOpen

fTurublenceMagnitudeMax

Maximum turbulence magnitude of Sine wave motion simulation.

fTurublenceForceMulti

Multiplier of Turbulence vertical force.

fTurublenceRollTorqueMulti

Multiplier of Turbulence y axis force.

fTurublencePitchTorqueMulti

Multiplier of Turbulence x axis force.

fBodyDamageControlEffectMult

Control noise factor contributed from plane damage.

fInputSensitivityForDifficulty

Control noise factor contributed from pilot driving skills.

Hi sight, are you able to send me the handling.meta file for any helicopter cause i cannot get it to work. Thanks in advance

Well, I found this somewhere, hope it helps.
You can mess with the CFlyingHandlingData Item. You can refer to the previous post if you want to understand some of the parameters and what they do.

If you just increase the thrust you end up going straight up, is there any way to fix this?
