hi BAs,
i have built a helicopterengine i would like to share with you. you can use it for copters, copterlike gear like in avatar, hoverboards (cmon silver surfer!), drones and jetpacks.
movie

mousecontrol for tilt
mouse fwd = nose down
keys are
arrowkeys for tilt
arrow up =nose down
a,d = turn
w,s = more/less uplift
F1 = fps vision
F2 =3rd p vision
backspace reset game (works only in standalone as expected)
i have tried to make the real deal, so if you want to speed up, you have to get the nose down and increase the uplift a little.
also the reaction of the controls is a little slow like in reality.
the blue box named aaa player one has got all controls on it. there are three properties that keep the angles of the copters axis.
the blue box has got a vertex in the centre of it, if you want to parent anything that doesnt turn with the box like a lightsource.
use standalone for best experience.

todo (and not included til now) for version 2:
pilotvision (camera stays on the horizon when the angle gets too steep)
hud with speed, angles and uplift indicators
companiondrone that flies by itself and delivers an outsidevision of the chopper to a fps displaysystem.
btw i know that hills are poppin in. it is not because i am bad in making lod instances but there was so much seismic activity in the area.
