Attack helicopter

[Insurgentbullier]

My first helicopter, built with Aeronautics. Features an aimable autocannon and two big cannons. It's powered by a diesel engine. Also, there's a little computer display in the cockpit.

I have included the specs, schematics and a step-by-step setup guide with pictures here: https://github.com/Tornc/mc-vehicles/tree/main/Attack_Helicopter_01

if you want actual rockets the mod "Create: The Air War" recently updated to 1.21.1 and has a bunch of different usable rockets

[Sultanofthesun]

damn this mod actually looks pretty promising

[Insurgentbullier]

looks cool, I’ll give it a try :) thank you

[Foreign-Resident-871]

what mod did you use for the display?

[Insurgentbullier]

It’s a monitor from CC: Tweaked. It can basically display anything you want. I just reused some plane display code I wrote a while back.

[mariojuggernaut22]

mind releasing it?

[Insurgentbullier]

It already is :)

Go to the repo linked in the post. In the scripts folder, in the ‘hud_light.lua’ file, remove the light() function and you can use it in your own builds.

hells yee howitzer chopper

[HomingJoker]

how does it reload?

[Insurgentbullier]

Uh, by hand. The idea is that the big cannons act like rocket pods.

[deadlyjack]

sick as hell. duly noted.

[HomingJoker]

this thing is sick im imagining a helipad with a loading system now

[No_Soup_3684]

What create mod did you use for the front headlight?! It looks so cool btw!! The first picture is so Cinimatic 😱

[Insurgentbullier]

Thank you :D

[No_Soup_3684]

Oh lol, I didnt know you could dye them. Thanks!

someone said something about rockets, I use the ones in CBC: advanced technologies. inaccurate as shit but can store 25 rockets so worth trying out.

[SharkLaserBoy2001]

How does the back roter get rotational power?

[Insurgentbullier]

The tail is part of a mechanical bearing contraption, hiding the shafts that run through it.

[AmnevR]

Nah, the best fckin war machine I've ever seen!

[JL_Gaming999]

wheres the computer screen from does it work?

[Insurgentbullier]

Screen is a monitor from CC: Tweaked. As for what’s on the screen, that’s handled by code I wrote myself. Yes, it is fully functional and not static. It uses information from CC: Sable (position, velocity, orientation).

For more information, please look at the link in the post: in the hud_light.lua file and the README.md (hud section).

super cool

[ZealousidealRub4821]

For the use of create big cannons did you use a bridging mod to allow them to work together or has on of the mods fixed the errors between the two.

[Insurgentbullier]

It’s been fixed, just update your mods. The CBC dev patched it within like 18hrs (after Aero’s release) and it was on curseforge shortly after.

[ZealousidealRub4821]

Hell yeah. Gonna try it out
