Rotor direction

[Adammo]

Does anyone know how to get the main rotor on a chopper to spin the other way?

Thanks,

The answer is to: flip the rotor axis in the memory area.

put the top axis on the bottom and the bottom on the top..

He he, thanks for the answer Adammo. I know that I've read something about that problem on some other post, but I coud not find it again (and my search funktion unfortunately does not work).

does it also work something like that with the tracks of a tank they turn also in a wrong axis on my addon

[Adammo]

i dont know.. i havent made a tank yet.. only plane and chopper.

but i would guess yes

Another way is to use negative speed. We used this for Chinook:

mainRotorSpeed = 1.0;
backRotorSpeed = -1.0;

Would that work with counter rotating forward facing propellers?

It works only for vehicles with simulation="helicopter.

Thanks Suma
I experimented by rotating the axis points. I now have an f27 with counter rotating props.
