I'm trying to replicate the way the choppers hover in BF2. As in they won't drop in altitude when you let go of the throttle.
I got that part nailed. The choppers do not drop in altitude when throttle is release and only drop if you pitch/roll to steep like normal.
Problem is, I can't get the chopper to drop in altitude when using reverse thrust. So it would be difficult to land it as it is right now.
I've tried a system similar to the vtols on the Harrier (they hover when using reverse thrust). Instead of thrusting up on reverse thrust I want it to thrust down. But alas I can't get the dam rotation bundle to turn in the direction I want it to. The c_PIThrottle control setting doesn't seem to rotate the bundle when reverse thrust is used (pressing the S key). But thus far I can't get it to work.
Any suggestions on how to code my choppers so they keep the nice BF2 style hover but are still landable?
EDIT: Finally got the rotation bundle to point the engine down when using reverse thrust (I made a seperate new engine for this purpose). But it doesn't have any effect on flight physics....
hmmm...There has to be an easier way of doing this. I don't really want to create a fourth engine for all my choppers.
