[uep2]_14a_Helicopter & Heliport_(8-in-1) v2.3

Version update: V2.3 (important update) 2022/11/22

1. Fix the problem that the fuselage of the helicopter disappears instantly at a certain height when the helicopter lands.
2. Increase the simulation effect of helicopter flight dynamics:
-(1) When the helicopter accelerates during take-off, the body will lean forward at a large angle to accelerate the flight.
-(2) When the helicopter accelerates during flight, the body will lean forward at a small angle to accelerate.
-(3) During the normal flight of the helicopter, the body will maintain a certain flight forward angle.
-(4) When the helicopter is preparing to land, the aircraft will lean back to slow down.
-(5) The newly added flight dynamic simulation effect has simulated all the flight effects of helicopters in the real world. Players can experience the new helicopter flight effects from the cockpit perspective or the third-person perspective.
-(6) The newly added flight effect can be watched through the video: https://youtu.be/iUrp59ti8TE

3. About the occasional helicopter body shaking problem when the helicopter lands: After research and testing, the reason is that when the player places the helipad on the game map at a certain angle, he will encounter this problem. .
The solution is to use the "M key" and "N key" to "rotate the helipad and adjust the angle of the helipad to solve this problem... (Anyway, this is a very magical problem... The specific reason belongs to metaphysics... After all, there is no helicopter system in TPF2... It is estimated that UG officials don't know about this problem...Laughing ...).
4. Continue to optimize the MOD code and some model structures, and optimize some MOD functions.
5. Modified the MI-8 helicopter propeller, which is more in line with the real MI-8 helicopter flight effect. .
6. The cockpit of the MI-8 helicopter has been updated, and the realistic details of the instruments in the cockpit of the MI-8 helicopter have been optimized. . Added two classic small plastic fans in the cab of the MI-8 helicopter.

Author's Foreword:
Yes, that's right, this MOD is coming. .
This is one of the longest time-consuming MODs in the UEP2 series of works. It took more than a year to go through countless code attempts, functional tests, discarding the original idea, and start all over again, and try code and function tests again. Countless cycles. . . Finally, TPF2 has a helicopter system. .~~lol. . .
UG. You should treat me toblerone and swiss rolls. . laugh. . .
--------------------------------------
[].-------Before loading the MOD.-----------
(1). Make sure your TransportFever2 version is "2022 Spring-Update"!!
(2). NOTE: DO NOT use any mods that directly replace the game's default roads/rails/parameters! !Such mods will cause other authors' mods to fail to work properly! ! !
[].-------Use this mod in new game or archive.-----------
(1). Make sure you have subscribed to this mod and loaded it in the mod management list of TPF2.
(2). The "Sandbox" MOD that comes with the game needs to be loaded to enable the "Industry" button.
(3). You can find the mod's 5 heliports in the "Aviation/urban_expansion_project_package_II" option. (3 passenger airport+ 2 freight airport)
(4). You can find the helicargo airport with industrial function in the "Industry/urban_expansion_project_package_II" option. (1 freight airport + custom industry chain)
(5). You can buy and use helicopters in any heliport. (helicopter can only be used for helipads, not any other airports!! )
(6). The helicopter adopts a mixed transport mode, which will automatically switch between passenger and cargo according to the items carried.
(7). The MOD mixes modules such as aviation, roads, and railways. When the player sets the running path of the vehicle, TPF2 may set the wrong platform for the vehicle. The player only needs to manually adjust the platform number.
[].-------Feedback about the use of MOD.-----------
(1). If you encounter any problems in using the mod, please report it to the author in time. and provide the stdout.txt file in the X:\xxxxx\STEAM\userdata\xxxxxxxx\1066780\local\crash_dump\ folder to the MOD author, so that the author can check and solve the MOD problem in time.
(2). A warm reminder for newbies: Before using MOD, please be sure to read the author's MOD instructions carefully, and don't mindlessly subscribe! ! !Do not use mods that directly replace the game's default road/railway and any game's default parameter settings, which will cause your other mods to fail to work properly! ! !Please plan and subscribe to MOD reasonably, and load MOD in the order of SCRIPT, railway, road, station, and asset. .
(3). All my mods! ! Never charged! ! My mods are only published on STEAM workshops and Transportfever.net forums. Please subscribe and use my MOD in the above two places. Do not download my mods from any other sites or buy my mods from any individual to avoid being scammed! ! ! !

MOD making postscript:
The idea to make a helicopter for the TPF2 was originally conceived in early 2021. . . I didn't have much confidence at the time. . Or whether I will finally be able to complete this mod. . Because for TPF2 this game. . There are no system and function settings suitable for helicopter flight in the framework of the game. . So, after the idea was born, I decided to give it a try. .
Making of this mod is a big exploration of TPF2 game features and frameworks. . Because, I don't have any additional information to refer to when making this mod. Everything needs to be made from scratch using the game's framework. . I don't know what the final result will be. . . Countless failures, countless restarts. . Although it takes a long time. . I did give up a few times in between. . . But in the end, I was lucky enough to finish this mod. . The conclusion that the TPF2 cannot have a helicopter is broken. laugh. .
Of course, this MOD still has some details that need to be improved and optimized. For example, when the helicopter lands vertically on some helipads, due to the switching of the take-off and landing mode, the helicopter body will slightly sway from side to side. . I will gradually solve these problems in the future.
Hope this mod will bring you a whole new transportation experience in TPF2 game. happy game~
