Auto Hover Dampening Dampening to apply when Auto Hover Leveling.

Auto Hover Adjust Rate Return rate to apply when Auto Hover Leveling.

Agility

Realistic Mode Use realistic physics?

Simple Yaw Rather than adding torque for yaw, rotate around the world up. Good for beginner pilots. (takes away realism somewhat) This option is available when Realistic Mode is set to true.

Max Altitude The maximum sea level altitude the helicopter is allowed to reach.

Power Agility Factor How fast the throttle response is.

Pitch Agility Factor How fast the pitch response is.

Roll Agility Factor How fast the roll response is.

Yaw Agility Factor How fast the yaw response is.

Max Pitch How much the helicopter can pitch.(0 = Unrestricted)

Max Roll How much the helicopter can roll.(0 = Unrestricted)

Lift At Max Power How much lift force the helicopter has at maximum power.

Lift At Min Power How much lift force the helicopter has at minimum power.

Max Rate Of Climb How fast the helicopter is allowed to raise its altitude.

Max Rate Of Descent How fast the helicopter is allowed to drop its altitude.

Max AirSpeed Limit the helicopters maximum overall air speed.

Physical Properties

Centre Of Mass An optional reference to adjust the center of mass.

Mass Running Airborne How heavy the helicopter is while it is off the ground and the engine is fully started.

Drag Running Airborne How much drag will affect the helicopter while it is off the ground and the engine is fully started.

Angular Drag Running Airborne How much angular drag will affect the helicopter while it is off the ground and the engine is fully started.

Mass Stopped Airborne How heavy the helicopter is while it is off the ground and the engine is off.

Drag Stopped Airborne How much drag will affect the helicopter while it is off the ground and the engine is off.

Angular Drag Stopped Airborne How much angular drag will affect the helicopter while it is off the ground and the engine is off.

Mass Running Grounded How heavy the helicopter is while it is on the ground and the engine is on.

Drag Running Grounded How much drag will affect the helicopter while it is on the ground and the engine is on.

Angular Drag Running Grounded How much angular drag will affect the helicopter while it is on the ground and the engine is on.

Mass Stopped Grounded How heavy the helicopter is while it is on the ground and the engine is off.

Drag Stopped Grounded How much drag will affect the helicopter while it is on the ground and the engine is off.

Angular Drag Stopped Grounded How much angular drag will affect the helicopter while it is on the ground and the engine is off.

Max Angular Velocity Limit the helicopters maximum angular velocity.

Engine

Auto Start Engine Should the engine automatically start when the driver is set?

Auto Stop Engine Should the engine automatically stop when the driver is set?

TIP: With this false, you can change seats and the helicopter can keep hovering, perfect for single player game that require a switch from pilot to gunner, or for testing UI etc.

Engine Start Up Duration How long it takes to fully wind up the engine and rotors.

Engine Shut Down Duration How long it takes to fully wind down the engine and rotors.

Main Rotor Rotate Velocity How fast the Main Rotor/s rotate.

Sub Motor Rotate Velocity How fast the Sub Rotor/s rotate.

Throttle Rotor Speed Multiplier How much the throttle output affects the speed of the Main Rotor/s rotation.

Yaw Rotor Speed Multiplier How much the throttle and yaw output affect the speed of the Sub Rotor/s rotation.

Main Rotors A reference to the main lift rotor/s, that rotate around their Y axis.

Sub Rotors A reference to the sub rotors usually the rear/yaw rotor/s that rotate around their X axis.

Damage

Horizontal Impact Threshold Horizontal collision force must be above this threshold to do horizontal impact damage.

Vertical Impact Threshold Vertical collision force must be above this threshold to do vertical impact damage.

Horizontal Impact Damage Amount How much base damage to apply when collision force is above the threshold (multiplies by collision force).

Vertical Impact Damage Amount How much base damage to apply when collision force is above the threshold (multiplies by collision force).

Nose Landing Threshold Higher values allow less accurate landings. Lower values require more accurate landing. The lower the value the less angle the helicopter must have to successfully land.

Tail Landing Threshold Higher values allow less accurate landings. Lower values require more accurate landing. The lower the value the less angle the helicopter must have to successfully land.

Nose Landing Damage Amount Landing accuracy failure damage to apply.

Tail Landing Damage Amount Landing accuracy failure damage to apply.

Side Landing Threshold Higher values allow less accurate landings. Lower values require more accurate landing. The lower the value the less angle the helicopter must have to successfully land.

Side Landing Damage Amount Landing accuracy failure damage to apply.

Nose Crash Threshold Lower values consider crashing at less angle. The higher the value, the more the helicopter must be on its nose to be considered a crash.

Tail Crash Threshold Lower values consider crashing at less angle. The higher the value, the more the helicopter must be on its tail to be considered a crash.

Nose Crash Damage Amount Nose crash damage to apply.

Tail Crash Damage Amount Tail crash damage to apply.

Side Crash Threshold Lower values consider crashing at less angle. The higher the value, the more the helicopter must be on its side to be considered a crash.

Side Crash Damage Amount Side crash damage to apply.

Upside Down Crash Damage Amount Crash damage to apply if the helicopter is upside down.

Immobilize On Impact Optionally immobilize throttle on impacts above the threshold.

Immobilize On Bad Landing Optionally immobilize throttle on bad landing.

Immobilize On Crash Optionally immobilize throttle on crash landing.

Immobilized Duration When immobilized the helicopter can recover after this delay. (-1 to never recover)
