SFM Helicopter Taxiing

In 2 collections by Ampersand
Ampersand's Workshop

Singleplayer Game Mechanics

Description
Taxi helicopters on the ground in Standard Flight Model, plus rolling take off and landing.

Controls
Wheel Brake Hold/Release - Toggle taxiing mode
Cyclic Forward - Taxi forward
Rope Interaction - Taxi forward

Usage
When controlling the helicopter, turn on Taxiing mode with the base game Wheel Brake control. Now when the engine is on, use Cyclic Forward or Rope Interaction to start to taxi on the ground. Use Pedal Left/Right to turn.

Since this is still SFM, you will probably need to input down collective to prevent lift off. A reasonable ground taxi speed is like 10 kph, for good turning control.
Max Taxi Speed can be set in CBA Settings.

Client side.
Script version.[github.com]

If you'd like alternative controls or UI, please let me know.

Does it happen with just ZEN and CBA?

I know whats causing the issue. Remote Control in Zeus Enhanced

Idk what you expect to get in my mods' comments. Generally speaking you remove mods until you find what is breaking.

Dont have discord I told you this already. If you dont remember I brought it up on the TGT slew mod comments

Not sure what you mean. Please discuss on ZEN discord.

Got it to work. If you enable the Taxiing with the parking break engaged it works fine.

The max taxi speed seems to not work with the UH-60 project helicopters, it only works uphill

Speed limiter made it usable.
Bonus points if you can make the limit adjustable like with ACE.

Added CBA setting for max taxi speed.
