V-22 Osprey Tilt Rotor

V-22 Osprey Tilt-Rotor
Beta 1 - June 2008
Beta 2 - October 2008








Using Sole/Wipmans OFP V-22 model as a base I invested many hours into finding a solution to the age old problem of getting it to work in a BIS game.
Used various config and animation tricks to get it flyable.

Constructive feedback and suggestions appreciated.

************************************

This primarily is a HELICOPTER in the way
it flys. While I have tweaked everything so
it *nearly* flys like a plane in level flight,
DONT DONT DO NOT expect it to fly perfect like
a fixed wing plane. (Wait for ArmA2 for that)
Dont dive in level flight and expect to climb
out of the dive. Deadly it can be.
The Q key (up pitch) is VERY important.
AI fly pretty good, but big mountains will
kill them.
