A rebuild of my easy helicopter tutorial. I had alot of positive responses and suggestions that i tried to consider and work into this. My knowledge of E2 is limited, but after a few hours i was able to make a fully apply force controlled copter. The last model had to many thrusters for some servers. This model is a chair, plate, E2 chip and a pod controller. I might release this sometime in the future, but have no plans to right now.
The Helicopter itself is pretty simple, its basically to show how this setup works.

Meh, Good work i guess. Work on astethics.
yeah, looks like it flies fine, but work on the aesthetics.
your rotors are a bit small
yeah i hear what you are all saying, the post isnt about the copter itself really. Its more about the flying and base itself. The helicopter itself sucks as far as im concerned, i just put it together to go over the base. The rotors are horrible. i wasnt even going to add any to show this, but with the other thread asking how its done i figured i would try it myself.

That's what she said
The rotors are too smal, and that cockpit, those PHX materials...

That's what your mom said.

The body looks retarded. Redo it

You should probably read the thread before posting next time, if you did you would see this has nothing to do with the looks of the copter. I already said it looked like shit, this was to show improvements i made over my old base. Thanks for wasting your time though.

Lol I'm telling you that your body of the helicopter looks retarded. It can function as well as a real helicopter but I'm saying you should revamp the body. And even if I did waste my time posting that It was totally worth it to see your response
It was better as a bare plate, then people would only talk about the e2 itself...
Or you could title it "Improved helicopter E2" and just mention in the thread that you made the "body" just so it doesn't look like a square ufo but still nothing serious...

Thing is i did say that in the original post,

Also all i talked about were the improvements in the system itself, and i link to the old one. I mean should i draw pictures for people to understand? The video starts out with the plate itself to show how it works, then later goes to the one with the props attached. It really couldn't be anymore simple that than.

Fixed,
Also inanimate or virtual objects cannot be "retarded" just so you know. Mental retardation ( I assume this is what you are referring to) Is when a human being has impaired cognitive functioning, sometimes affecting motor skills or other functions. I work with people that have Mental retardation, If you need some help im sure i could assist you with your problem.
he means retarded as in it looks stupid

a lot of people say that around here, it's common culture, get with it son

People need to read and understand that the point of this thread was not to show off an uber awesome heli body. lewl
But you didn't in the fucking title that should be "Helicopter E2 Reborn"

LOLOL your a returd dur dur. If your setup works then make it look nice
Can I have the e2 code?
Looks hideous, but it flies nice, so good job on functionality.
Rated all bad reading like a boss.

The helicopter looks like shit, this is essentially a thread about your expression. Put equal amounts of effort into both parts of the contraption.
[b]SHIT REFERS TO FECAL MATTER WHICH IS WHAT THIS HELICOPTER IS NOT COMPOSED JUST SO YOU KNOW IM SO SMART I SURE SHOWED HIM LOL![/b]
[QUOTE=edberg;18101500]The helicopter looks like shit, this is essentially a thread about your expression. [/b][/QUOTE]
Umm yeah the thread is about the Expression, and i already said several times now that it looks like shit. I almost thought you were smarter than the rest to figure out it is a thread about the expression, except you didn't. You seem to be accusing me of making the thread about the expression(which i did) instead of the helicopter. So really you didn't figure anything out and you only stated the obvious that everyone already knew.
You should have at least added some name calling or something to make your thread more viable for trolling/flaming. As it is you just made yourself look like a fool.
In a thread about helicopters and E2, Edberg shits over everything? Color me surprised.
I like how it controls, it looks incredibly smooth in flight. I can understand why the body looks the way it does, it's the concept that counts. The next one you make can concentrate on aesthetics.
Also if it helps: Never ask the OP for the code. It's rude as fuck and makes you look like a gigantic pillock.

Appreciate it Sestze! You still having PC problems? I havent seen you around so i was just wondering. Shoot me a PM if you need any help with it.
Here I'll post it again since you decided to only read the bold text and not the valid advice.

[editline]01:57AM[/editline]
What I'm trying to say is that this isn't the wiremod forums and people don't care about E2 expressions if they don't have a good contraption to go with it.
[QUOTE=edberg;18104483]:words:[/QUOTE]
I care. :I
Unique/awesome/innovative use of applyForce that blows current control schemes out of the water. Whenever anyone posts a thread like that, you can count on a good amount of people showing up to call it complete garbage.
It's the concept that counts, this is an incredibly fluid and realistic flight system for a helicopter on an easy-to-use shell.
Also, I see plenty of contraptions that don't have any wiring, or very little wiring. Do you see me marching into those threads and calling their contraptions garbage because of the techniques they used?
Throwing a lot of props at something to make it look "awesome" is the biggest waste of time if your contraption cannot move or work correctly. GMOD is not modeling software.
edit: Yeah, my computer's still bricked. It's coming back in a couple of days. Here's hoping that'll resolve the issue.
way too sensitive, accelerates in any direction far too quickly, rotors too short and skinny
idk what you guys are talking about, i think both the wiring and the aesthetics are mediocre at best
[QUOTE=_Twitch_;18105072]way too sensitive, accelerates in any direction far too quickly[/QUOTE]
Not if you don't want it to. you can be aggressive or not with the controls, its up to the pilot.
[QUOTE=Sestze;18104670]Yeah, my computer's still bricked. It's coming back in a couple of days. Here's hoping that'll resolve the issue.[/QUOTE]
Thats good news then, hope your back on soon!
hey one man, i think a cool idea would be to make it so that it starts out slow and accelerates in w/e direction u want it to go.. if u want i can help u with the coding.. i know it pretty well
I think it would be a great idea to stop bashing everyones criticism.
