why the gyrocopter takes off like a plane?

[Fullmetal]

I mean, shouldn't it take off like a helicopter? It would be more intuitive if it did look like a plane with these controls

[Trooper Bri]

Because it's a gyrocopter and not a helicopter.

[Terminally Chill]

Yeah gyrocopters don't fly like helicopters. Just look up a video on youtube of an actual gyro and you'll see.

Airwolf was the only gyrocopter that could take off like a helicopter. Fictional tv show aircraft.

If you want a helicopter with helicopter controls then use the mods that I use......

I only use the MD-500 and apache mods from the vehicle list because I absolutely HATE the gyro controls and it's functionality. They are so annoying. Especially since the gyro is supposed to be a late game vehicle and the wasteland is supposed to be a late game biome. But you can't really use the late game vehicle in a late game biome because the wasteland is filled with iron, trees and other trash that block the takeoff paths and make it hard as hell to even land or takeoff from. Not too mention that a late game vehicle should have the most inventory space and it doesn't.

that's actually really useful. does it work on a22?

A22 is essentially named 1.0, so yes lol. If you mean A21, then yes it works on that version as well.

no no, I meant 1.0. it's just that I tried some map mods that didn't work with 1.0, but nice to know this one does

The gyrocopter in 7DTD taught me 2 things;

i) A gyrocopter is a thing in itself, not a helicopter. Prior to a couple of years ago, I'd never heard of a gyrocopter and assumed it was a helicopter because it looks like one. I spent some interesting time online learning about gyrocopters.

ii) Flying is hard. Especially in 7DTD, where a slightly mistaken keypress has the pilot leap out without a parachute. Which I never did, of course, Oh no, not at all. Not even once. Well, maybe once. Or a few times.

Tbh, I actually leap out to stop the gyrocopter instead of just pressing back hahahaha since it's faster.

I did let if fall to see if it got damage. It didn't. But I did, a lot.
