I gotta say i’ve been playing ksp for quite long time and during this i’ve never tried making choppers using kal because its so hard. I just make jets because its easier. God know how hard kal is
Thank you. I'm trying to build a helicopter with two opposite rotating blades, to counter the torque turn effect. Having trouble getting my second Hal unit to properly toggle play on the 2nd rotor directly above the first. Any recommendations? Thanks for the tutorial- I never would have figured this stuff out myself. =)
Great video - for early career helicopters! Thanks. Quick question - can you make a helicopter without the inline stabilisers? I've tried using a second rotor on the back to stabilise the chopper, but no success. Any tips?
Your best bet is a contra rotor helicopter. Which i have a video on. I've tried a tail rotor but you would have to set it at a ratio rpm wise off the main rotor. Real helicopter use a transmission that always keeps the tail going the correct speed.
Hey I have a problem when I get my helicopter into the air it flies perfectly but it won’t stop going up the only way I know how to make it stop is locking the rotor. But otherwise amazing tutorial
Very very helpful although this is my third time watching. I had to go back and figure out why my chopper wasn't taking off.😅 Looks like I forgot a step with the main throttle/ai part.
Hi Johnny great videos! This is the second one I've watched cause I'm starting now with robotics and first thing I wanna learn about is propellers. I'm on a PC just with a mouse. Two questions please: 1. Are you using an Xbox controller on a PC? 2. In your other simple prop airplane tutorial u managed to select "Quad" on the rotor and 4 propellers popped up, whereas I do exactly what u did but I can only get 2 to appear. No quad option only 2 in symmetry. This is in SPH obviously. Any idea where I'm going wrong? Cheers mate!
@@JohnnyOneShot Thanx for your prompt reply mate. I worked it out. I must press the letter "F" to enable the multi node option. Then to go back to single or symmetrical nodes press letter "X". Thanx anyway!!
Hey man, idk if you'll see this by now but how can I fix the problem of the helicopter pitching up constantly? I have 5 medium reaction wheels, trying to make an Apache lookalike lol. But they still don't do the trick. Am i missing a step that cancels that?
So your CoM is probably to far behind your rotor. Either move the rotor or adjust the weight using fuel tanks to move the CoM just a sliver in front of the rotor.
I open the action groups but there are no blades to select. The KAL-100 is placed and and the blades are also placed. I uset the EM-16s Rotor... Is there something wrong?
I got a problem: the authority limiter with the k1000 does not work to change the angle from the blades. Pls help! I did the same thing but I won't work.
Also triangle brings up more stuff like physics warp. And if you pause the game and press U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R it brings up a cheat menu. It disables trophies but it’s useful for seeing aerodynamic forces.
Rotors in robotics is strange, I was looking in engines.
Yeah that’s bugged me as well.
*Console players:* why aren't rotors in engines

They aren't just engines.
Also rotors just physically aren’t engines they a type of manipulated swivel
Really good explanation, thanks for showing how to deal with the fact that it starts at 2.5 play position when throttle is zero. Great job!
I feel like they definitely could’ve made this easier. This stuff is tough
It’s realistic
@@o.m.b.demolitionenterprise5398 I guess
@@o.m.b.demolitionenterprise5398 it’s not
COULD HAVE?!?!?
@@o.m.b.demolitionenterprise5398 I dont think realistic helicopters use reaction wheels
For me it's more easy to go on the mun than make an helicopter 😅
I was that way to. I haven’t been to space in so long I’m not sure I could get to the mun in one try.
Thank you dude, i've really been wondering
Hello, can I get a popcorn chicken meal pls thank you
Lol
Kernal force 1
You can add tail rotor instead of RW to make it more stable and realistic
Thanks!! Now i made a super heavy lift helicopter!!!
For me it was deploy angle you had to set on the controller, not authority limiter. Worked great.
Yeah sorry about that. I learned after this video that PC uses deployment angle instead.
This is too hard for me my tiny brain cant handle this :(
It has a convolution fit and blows up.
Lol your mic is just like the real pilots mics
Haha yeah I’ve upgraded since this video
@@JohnnyOneShot use this mic if yuo want to roleplay real pilots, it sounds cool

Video for counter rotating blades is dropping tomorrow.
@@JohnnyOneShot afternoon, bro, I want to ask the EM-165 Light Dusty Rotor in the video and what mod is it? Why am I not there? Thank You
Not a mod. It’s breaking ground DLC.
I love this mic xDD
It’s just my headset. For whatever reason it sounds like a damn military communication radio
@@JohnnyOneShot if you ask me, it’s cool.
He says “I’m not a youtuber” meanwhile in 2021 he’s still uploading

And it still says 0ms on fuel.
Great video!
Thank you!
Mine didint work because the center of mass wouldn’t line up why can’t this just be fucking simple
Move the rotor forward or back. Also adjust the amount of fuel in the tank to move CoM where you need it.
u mised the rotor on back
It didn't work, my kerbals helicopter is currently blowing up!
my helicoper is spinning xD
they make this shit real hard, thanks

Is the UI wheel in which you are selecting symmetry some mode, or is it normally there in console version of KSP?
It’s on console.

I’m on PS4 so I’m not quite sure what you’re running in to. Not sure why you don’t have other symmetry options. I can up to 8

I wanted to try to make a vtol jet or something but hearing that i had to pay $15 for DLC to be able to build one ruined my day
you can use mods.

My pleasure 😊
God knows what's going on. I've done what you've done but when I use roll left it pitches down and roll right it pitches up. 🤣😂F helicopters
I cant figure out how to make it run
Thank you bro
i dont have the rotor section why is that
thx. also your voice is beautiful
Hey! Build classic heli without any stab? (without hyrodine, cabin hyrodine off, SAS off) ;-)
Would you reverse the code thing to positive 40 if on a CCW rotor?
It refuses to ascend no matter what on mine :(
ty
Nice!
I open the action groups but there are no blades to select. The KAL-100 is placed and and the blades are also placed. I uset the EM-16s Rotor... Is there something wrong?
Open the action groups. Select the kal on the bottom of the list. Then click on the blades that are attached to the craft.
How do you make the tail rotor
I have never tried, but probably just add a small rotor
It don't do anything but blow up
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
Them my game crashed
how actuve costum action??
The number you assigned it to. For example "Custom 01" is activated by pressing the "1" key.
Can we get a download link?
Im still bad at making helis🤣
Sure can’t. Everything of mine is built on PS4
@@JohnnyOneShot rip me then
I got a problem: the authority limiter with the k1000 does not work to change the angle from the blades. Pls help! I did the same thing but I won't work.
If you’re on PC you need to use deployment angle instead of authority limiter. If not, make sure you select “extended” in the tweakable menu.
Fast reaction! Thank you!
No problem bud.
@@JohnnyOneShot lifesaver dude
Do you want a physics lesson or do you want to just make one easily haha you makes me laugh :3
All mine does is stay still and the rotors spin slowly. Any tips?
Need a bigger motor or your rpm limit is way lower than it should be. Both are adjustable when selecting the rotor in the SPH.
Of course I'm on ps4
How start engine on pc i dont know how to select option 1 or something
Custom 1 in the action group is just the 1 key.
Thank!
It is so hard for me 😢
I don’t know why but my helicopter doesn’t turn instead it just rolls, why do you think this may be?
Hmm.. disable roll on the props and see what that does. Check and make sure that the blades or over the CoM and the blades are all the same length.
I know why! You need one of those things:
A) A lot of reaction wheels
B)Counter-rotating rotors
C)A small rotor on the tail fin
Im biulding a heli with a crew cab to transport but i cant rely land i need halp
Landing should be as easy as slowly throttling down. What seems to be the issue?
I used ur heli base and i just added a tail fin crew cabin and game the main throttle play sppeed and somthin else
What happens when you try to land?
I paused my ksp because im doing a military world and trying to pick up my lizards/kerbals
Im also having trouble with throttling down every time i throttle to 0 it doesnt slow
At 2:04 how do you show this symmetry wheel menu? Great video otherwise!
Woo buddy my first video.. radial menu is console only, I think it’s triangle. Been a while since I’ve played on console.
@@JohnnyOneShot No problem! I found on PC, it's the R key.
THAT IS XBOX EDITION I DON'T HAVE ROBOTICS
D:
It’s the breaking ground DLC
i have done exactly what is shown in this video but when i launch it the actual helicopter starts spinning. and it wont even take off
How did you pull up the radial menu?
For action groups? Right on the D pad
@@JohnnyOneShot nice thanks, the controls tab doesnt even tell you half of the buttons
Also triangle brings up more stuff like physics warp. And if you pause the game and press U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R it brings up a cheat menu. It disables trophies but it’s useful for seeing aerodynamic forces.
Doesnt work? I Did every thing the exact way you did it and it didnt work
EDIT: The rotor didnt have enough power
Ugly chopper lol but thx dude! Like.
Ugly for sure lol. For the purpose of the tutorial I just made one as simple as possible.
what version of ksp are you using?
Is this on xbox to r no
Is the router pack a mod?
its 2020 but his microphone is in 2012
Yeah it was pretty bad. I just upgraded to a 2018 microphone today. So future videos will be better.
I dont get it at 3:29 I try to do that on PC and it doesnt work for me :u I did everything you said ;0
wait never mind for me it was "deploy angle"
I can’t seem to find the robotics section is it a mod?
No. its the breaking ground DLC
but I can't find the rotors,how do you get them,do you need to download the mod?
I downloaded this game from Epic games for free
It’s DLC. Breaking ground to be exact
@@JohnnyOneShot yes but how do you get it? I can't find those things
How do you just do a little throttle on ps4?
L1 and dpad up/down
@@qhxoexcci tysm
@@shuzzii5325 or L1 and up/down buttons (arrows)

good tutorial, but did you shit yourself at the start?
Dude this was my first ever video. That whole thing was hot shit.
it doesnt work me!
What’s not working. Or whats happening?
I dont understand this action groups
Is that console edition of KSP?
Yes
Nice
Doesn't work :/
What’s yours do?
@@JohnnyOneShot Never mind I accidentally deleted the propeller and forgot to set it up again.
do you use DLCs'?
Breaking Ground yes
You use mod?
No. PS4

What mods do you use?
It’s a DLC
Andres Bernasconi it’s the breaking grounds dlc
