Ghostlight Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Anyone care to describe their approach to getting the Gyro-copter to take off? Now it is fair to say that I changed the vehicle.xml file to increase the Gyro's speed to 25,25. Once I did that, take off has become rather tricky and I crash a lot due to lack of runway. So any thoughts that might help me improve my take-off would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossed Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If the speed is the problem you can lower the second number, so holding shift would keep it at a slower take-off speed. Dunno if that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kattla Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Make a runway. Or take off from a larger height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossed Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Also, control with the mouse. It's much more stable if you just point the mouse forward, than trying to make corrections with the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much more stable if you just point the mouse forward, than trying to make corrections with the keyboard. Please tell me how to do that because it doesn't work once you're airborne. Pressing LMB doesn't switch to mouse control for the Gyro like it does for all other vehicles (which is my preferred method). All it does is lock you on the yaw and prevents the mouse movements from tilting it. Make a runway. Or take off from a larger height. Not practical since I am darting all over the map in it to do quests. I guess my main question is....when do you press space, and when you do, do you hold it, tap it, or just press it once?

All it does is lock you on the yaw and prevents the mouse movements from tilting it. I meant while you're still on the ground, during taking off. Holding space never worked for me so I keep tapping it when I feel like I gained enough speed to take off, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostlight Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yup that's the issue. Sometimes it seems to work, sometimes not. I am guessing I am pressing it at the wrong time, and my altering of the max speed to 25 has made the timing even more precise. Before I altered the max speed, I could take off just fine every time.

sycotic Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I hope they fix gyros controls to chopper like. Now its just pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyStar Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Gyro controls suck. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themirror Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 just put a ramp (there is a "tip" block that I can't remember the name that is better than the ramp) on the end of the runway and speed up! Works like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
