Just switch it on in the cockpit, and then fly towards the edge of the search zone, not the center. The triangulator should show a progress bar as you approach, eventually showing a location on the small map.

how to use the transponder triangulator

@Jacohover I also vastly prefer that Layout. I have no idea how the logic stuff works but I'll give it a shot and see if I can change it on other choppers

Jacohover [author] 3 Jul @ 10:23pm

@NyassaV Its really just a question of how you connect the inputs. I don't do anything different then the rest, I just connect the seat outputs differently cause I prefer this control layout. In theory you can change anyones vehicle to this layout, it just might be kinda hard, depending on their control systems ;)

NyassaV 3 Jul @ 9:19pm

How did you get the Yaw to be A and D while every other heli creation doesn't do that?

Jacohover [author] 8 Apr @ 10:26pm

Ah yes, well that will be difficult with both of these. Maybe I should make a much smaller variant, although I really want to keep my harness system integrated...

TigerPlayz302 8 Apr @ 12:24pm

the larger version is awesome but i need to fit this behomoth on a service ship lol

Jacohover [author] 8 Apr @ 12:45am

It is a mess, yes. I always make a lot of redundant connections just because i like to really, makes it fell safer to me I guess. Also if you like this, you probably should try the newer and larger version, its in my collection as linked here

TigerPlayz302 7 Apr @ 12:30pm

y is the electrical a web? its so hard to make changes for the work im doing.
also best helicopter iv seen

Jacohover [author] 11 Jan @ 3:21am

Next on my list is another attempt at making a flight control system for my flying "rescue fortress"

Checkmate 11 Jan @ 3:13am

This has massively improved this chopper in my personal ranking, it's now #2 in my air rescue ranks. Amazing bird, outstanding work. TYSM

Jacohover [author] 11 Jan @ 3:05am

Flipping issue has been resolved, and the water capacity is now about 10x as much. This should help a lot in career mode. Also the cost has reduced slightly

Jacohover [author] 23 Nov, 2024 @ 8:11am

Ah, right, I know about that, I will try to fix it

Checkmate 23 Nov, 2024 @ 8:09am

Yeah, unfortunately it has a tendency to flip the entire heli upside down when used to decrease alt (which is your only option short of turning the rotors off). Has cost me more than one mission at this point :(

Jacohover [author] 23 Nov, 2024 @ 8:04am

Thanks for the feedback! I will have a look at what the issue with the NPCs might be and I will also check the alt control, it shouldnt be as bad as that if nothing is broken.

Checkmate 23 Nov, 2024 @ 7:38am

Just a heads up, the harness system doesn't seem to wanna take NPCs. I just did a forklift mission with this bad boy and was sad to find I couldn't load my one casualty into the lift. Also, there's no reliable way beyond the alt controller to control your alt... manual control is impossible at any decent rate AFAIK

Jacohover [author] 3 Nov, 2024 @ 1:26am

@lonewolf555 Thanks for the praise! I have been working on a much larger helicopter with all the feature, but I have hit a hitch with creating the flight control system, i just cant get it to work the way I want it currently. But if you have a need for non-airborne things, thats easier to make xD

lonewolf555 2 Nov, 2024 @ 3:22pm

this dude is one of the best modders i have seen he needs more mods if you ever need some inspo on what to make ask me i play this game alot like for example we really need a good fire fighter helis to match with fireworks fire towers mod

soigh 19 Oct, 2024 @ 11:22am

amazing build,keep that hard work up :D

Jacohover [author] 29 Dec, 2023 @ 3:57am

Quick Info, I will be starting on working a twin rotor version which will be faster, have more space, and hopefully the same core features like the harness system. It will take a while though before it is workshop capable

Wild Raven 13 Dec, 2023 @ 10:07pm

Not sure what it was, but its all working fine today. Just went from a 9 to a 10 :)

Jacohover [author] 13 Dec, 2023 @ 9:13am

Sad to hear you cant get the harness system to work, its the main feature of this Heli. You can either use the panels on the harness-platform or in the heli, and you can use the remote in case you fall of or something. It should be straight forward, but you can just DM what you issue is and we can figure it out

Wild Raven 12 Dec, 2023 @ 11:37pm

Love this Heli. Flies like a boat, so smooth and insane fuel/travel distance. Never could get the harnes system to work but its so steady i could hover just above the water and hop out if i wanted.

Jacohover [author] 3 Oct, 2023 @ 6:34am

Good point, I will push an update within the next few days and add heaters

InvisibleStrike 3 Oct, 2023 @ 6:16am

Unfortuantely this is unusable when in cold climates. No jackets or heater.

Jacohover [author] 17 Sep, 2023 @ 6:07pm

Major Update, multiple improvements and remote control for rescue platform!
Consult change-log for more details

Jacohover [author] 17 Sep, 2023 @ 4:34pm

Have you turned on the watercannon with the switch on the front panel?

bobbobbetti 17 Sep, 2023 @ 4:24pm

water cannon won't work

din 16 May, 2023 @ 9:31am

жаль я не умею летать на вертолетах

Jacohover [author] 22 Mar, 2023 @ 1:10am

Dual Rotor sound like fun, I will see if I can recycle the current one to some extent and make something even bigger

Xlegend20 21 Mar, 2023 @ 6:06pm

one of my favorite helicopters because of the in cabin rescue system i love it
any thoughts on a larger version ? possible duel rotor with med beds etc ? your designs are thoughtful and well laid out and i like the frigate as well

Thanks for answering my questions in the first part of the description. 187,454/28,942 stars

Jacohover [author] 22 Feb, 2023 @ 12:18am

Glad you like it, this has been in constant rework and testing for quite a while xD

TheElegantPelican 21 Feb, 2023 @ 7:29pm

I absolutely love this thing. Primarily that the harness system actually seems thought out and is extremely useful. And the water cannon is nice. 15/10 stars

Jacohover [author] 20 Feb, 2023 @ 4:53am

Major update, make sure to respawn the vehicle! Engine efficency has been significanty enhanced with the Hyperjet Mk2 Engine!

Jacohover [author] 18 Feb, 2023 @ 11:30pm

Thank you guys very much!

BMXPain 18 Feb, 2023 @ 9:54pm

Aircraft is great. I love the ease of use! Cant wait to see the Frigate

Jacohover [author] 16 Feb, 2023 @ 11:59pm

I am currently finishing a rescue frigate, but I will consider making a plane afterwards =)

{B-17} 16 Feb, 2023 @ 11:52am

hello im just saying that could you make a plane kind like the helicopter because i love this thing i saved over 50 miussions with it!!!!!

Jacohover [author] 10 Feb, 2023 @ 12:06am

@JPPeterson I shall see what I can do about the bed and the lighting

JPPeterson 9 Feb, 2023 @ 11:52pm

Nice Helicopter, but for me it still needs an medical bed. Also adjustable lights for the cockpit would be nice (red/white)
