Gyrocopter Speed Torque and Handling Improvement
  • A20 compatible
  • Works on a current save
  • Server side (only the person hosting the server needs the file)

Simple modlet that:

  1. Increases the speed of the gyrocopter in turbo (shift) mode (also decreases non turbo by 1 but probably not noticeable)
  2. Increases the torque of the gyrocopter plus the gyrocopter wheels to increase ground handling
  • Reverse is actually usable now so if you crash into something while trying to take off you can easily back up and try again
  • Can do easy takeoffs in tight spaces for better escapes or small runways, makes straight landing a little floaty though

These changes are pretty simple so people usually just change their own files or make a small modlet themselves, therefore there are not many mods on Nexus with speed and handling increases for those not wanting to mess with their files, so I thought I would put mine up for anyone looking for the same. I usually play on the 10km map size so faster vehicles is a must and with these settings I have enjoyed the gyrocopter so much more.

Non turbo mode is essentially the same for takeoffs and landings since it can be much more difficult at 75. Could be tuned a little more for even better straight on landings, maybe in a later version when I can test out some different things.

Speed changes:

  • Property name = velocityMax
  • Original Value = 9, 15
  • New Value = 8, 75


Torque  + Handling changes:

  • Property name = motorTorqueMinQ
  • Original Value = 1
  • New Value = 50
  • Property name = motorTorqueMaxQ
  • Original Value = 1
  • New Value = 75
  • Property name = brakeTorque
  • Original Value = 10
  • New Value = 100
  • Property class = wheel0
  • Property name = torqueScale_motor_brake
  • Original Value = 1, 1
  • New Value = 50, 50
  • Property class = wheel1
  • Property name = torqueScale_motor_brake
  • Original Value = 1, 1
  • New Value = 50, 50
  • Property class = wheel2
  • Property name = torqueScale_motor_brake
  • Original Value = 1, 1
  • New Value = 50, 50
