The .OTX placed the files in the "C:\Users\Username\Outerra\packages\outerra\ah64" folder since it thinks it is an additional addon instead of putting it into the folder for the default AH-64.  All you need to do is copy the files from the aforementioned folder to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Outerra\Anteworld\packages\outerra\ah64" folder and it will work...

Hi, Levi!

The .otx file will be installed under the "user" directory, and will not affect the original AH64, which is in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Outerra\Anteworld\packages\outerra\ah64

Your files should be copied manually to this location; I did it and works great! Thank you!

Or you can create another package whit all the stuff (model and textures) included; then people could spawn your version, instead of the original.

Oh sorry, on my side it does extract in the correct place Thank you for reporting it guys

Here's the standalone version: Download

Excuse me, but then it works for you? I have downloaded the file again, launched, but it does not work !!
I also have some new files of 'AH64 with new textures that will share, but in this case it would not work ??

[konaone]

Great work !! Thank you all. it works

One request. In a copter, when the collective is modified, what is happening in reality is that the pitch of all the blades is changed at the same time (thus the name of collective) to increase or decrease the vertical impulse. Although there could be an automatic small correction in the RMP you really can't hear the engine sound change, as hapend in cars or planes. Could you fix this, please?


Thanks!

EDIT:

Here is a better explanation.

http://www.phs.com.au/article/how-does-it-fly


"The pilot maintains the Rotor RPM of the Schweizer 300 (a typical light helicopter) between 440 & 460 RPM in flight, and at this speed there is a centrifugal force in excess of 4 tonne trying to wrench each blade out of the rotor hub. With this amount of inertia it is not possible to alter the RPM quickly enough for it to be an effective means of controlling the lift, therefore the only viable means of controlling lift is by altering the pitch angle of the blades.

The pilot controls the helicopter with 4 controls:

    The COLLECTIVE lever, which is held in the left hand beside the pilot. When raised or lowered, it increases or decreases the pitch angle of ALL the blades collectively, this in turn, increases or decreases the amount of lift that the rotor system produces."

 ... can one hear a change like that for planes whyte changing blade-angles ? (not sure now, if ya can set them separately on those, or if they change based to the RPM themselves (in mechanical or electronic means) to keep the max power for the engines RPM curve ... ).   



...



 ... script-animating this must be interesting. Hope some detailed model like that will hit OT someday.

[Levi]

You're right KW71. I wasn't aware of that.

Try this fix: ah64.js
Standalone version have been updated as well. The links remains the same.
Now the sounds are based on the actual rotor RPMs.

PytonPago, animating that thing would definitely be interesting!

[KW71]

Hey! that was fast!

Thank you very much, Levi! I'll  install this sound tonight.

PytonPago, the animation in the video is great, and very useful! Thanks!

" ... can one hear a change like that for planes with changing blade-angles ?"

I can't hear it in other simulators. As they explain, the inertia of those huge blades would prevent the engine from accelerate or decelerate fast enough (not sure if I understood your question)..

 ... i just ask, cause it seems to me to be not much of a case, simply cause the blade-specs (area, lenght, space between each, speeds, material (flexing)) seem off to make such air-vibration effects like a choppers main rotor - so shouldnt be as much a case at all by comparison. ( my view that is, have no propeller plane at my back-yard to try that out ( would definitely like to have  ) ) 

As for the animation - blade-flex (just like the gliders wing-flex) are also in my mind    ... but more complicated, as the angle theyre at the rotor-hub would be affecting the segment flex-angle orientation too ... but DCS has it, We need too !   

[KW71]

F...!! Black Shark... I would marry her right now!!

"my view that is, have no propeller plane at my back-yard to try that out"

I would invite you to my house to try some of mine, but the planes are dirty and the ashtrays are full 

" but more complicated, as the angle theyre at the rotor-hub would be affecting the segment flex-angle orientation too ... but DCS has it, We need too".

Is matter of time. I guess DCS guys are really scared by now  .

 ... id smear myself in gear-grease if it gets me to a plane again !

I think its already in BS 2.0 and Huey ...

[KW71]

That's it!! Now is uniform. Thank again, Levi!!
