• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi there,

I'm making my first helicopter, the atlas Denel Rooivalk Helicopter. Now there is not as much control surfaces on the heli as on a fixed wing plane (except for the rotor blades, and the mechanics thereof. I want some ideas, what animations/scripts/featurew one can add to a Heli for more quality? Im thinking of rotorblade flex, etc...

btw, I am modelling for FS2004

Thanks. Below a few screenies so far

Looks outstanding!
Common animations are
Lever_collective
Lever_fore_aft
Lever_l_r
 
Nice work Jakes...am sure you will find loads to add as you go along..I usually spend some time on youtube to get "closer" to how things look and feel and sound..but would say the things I look for in helicopter animations are rotor droop and landing gear compression..

Blistering barnacles, and thundering typhoons Jakes ... love your Avatar!
 
There is a thread on rotor_droop that covers most of the things you can do to animate a rotor. It is about 3 pages down in April.

The rooivalk is coming on slowly, but steady. busy with the landing gear, then Im on the Rotors, sio yeah that thread will most defenitely help.

I was occupied with real life (and exams) but now I can work on the Rooivalk again :D
 
Glad to hear its still being worked on Jakes! If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to holler at either me or George Arana...
Oh...and I think the rotor droop animation will only work with the FSX commands...
