Besiege Vertibird V4
A counter rotating prop driven tilt-wing heavily inspired by the Vertibird featured in Fallout 2.
Besiege creation with accompanying script for advanced out of the box operation acting as an initial proof of concept.
Controls
z - start engines - a nice little gimmick simulating a real helicopter start up.
Numpad Plus - increase altitude Numpad minus - decrease altitude
left arrow/right arrow - rotate left and right up arrow/ down arrow - move forward and back via nascelle rotation
f - fire nose cannons v - drop bombs
Installation
You will firstly need to have Lachim's Scripting Mod and Spaars Mod Loader v0.3.3 installed first.
Then copy Vertibirdv4.bsa into SavedMachines and Vertibirdv4.lua into the Scrips folders found in the Besiege installation directory. For steam users this will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Besiege.
Future Development
- Implementation of a finite state machine for overall future complexity reduction
- Focus on control responsiveness as well as a new method to govern thrust output dynamically based on the situation
- Implement states and movements for the conservation of momentum for a more realistic flight control.
- Inprovements to the flight model to include independent nescelle rotations and thrust for more responsive control.
