RC Helicopters Simulation

This is a realistic RC chopper simulation that is fully physics driven, it's part of my vehicle simulation package.

This is great considering I fly a tricopter. Can you make a multirotor heli as well or allow me to build one.
Would love to buy this in the asset store to put in my own terrain and objects to practice with!!!

 

You need Physics on there. The Helicopter is like it is on a Track.

 

Wait, physics driven as in you use scripts to apply torque to the rotors, and the physics makes the helicopter lift off?

I didn't think it could do THAT!

 

Yes, applying forces to the chopper.

 

I'll see what I can do. There shouldn't be any problem using three rotors instead of one.

 

RC choppers have much smaller weight so they are much harder to control because it takes just a little force to unbalance them, some of them are using second blade like a stabilizer for counter rotation force.

 

good work

 

I have added stability control slider, now you can choose between more stability-less simulation and less stability-more simulation.

Would also be great to have the inputs work with RC radios via a usb cable.

 

This is a my first tricopter simulation test flight. Simulation is fully physics driven and its nothing like helicopter simulation, controlling three motors to maintain stability is very challenging. For now just a few pictures.

Awesome work man!!!!

 

Thanks...

 

Aaaaaand now to simulate an IMU

 

Very good point on the IMU...
and google waypoint integration with GIS so you can run a real world RC in atonomous mode! and send back the telemetric and FPV video data!! Like a ardupirate http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1286011

I could go on!!!

 

Any progress on the tri-rotor simulation?

 

awesome promising work this!
