Video is older, it does show basic usage, but visuals have changed a little with current version.
Overview
This is for FUN !!!!!
Players can now fly there very own scrap built Gyrocopter in rust.Its made of junk and may fall apart at ANY time...but this is Rust Flight School baby !!!! Gear up and Die Like an Aviator today !!!!
To Spawn a Gyrocopter:Authorized Build player can type /copterbuild to spawn a copter on there current position, and then automount the copter.
if enabled, players will only be able to build 1 copter. they will have to destroy the old one to make a new one. Admins can set the default build amount via config file.
To Fly a Gyrocopter:Player can go up to a non locked copter and sit in chair, then start engine by spinning the spinner wheel. This will bring you up to minimum flight level. To land, just spin the wheel again. And you will start landing procedure.
**Recharging Battery while flying: **Gyrocopter works off a battery system. You get approx. 10 minutes of flight time on a full charge if pilot does not "sprint" The faster you go, the more battery you drain. You can recharge your copter by flying up to ANY power substation and getting close to it, copter will then start recharging.On screen indicator is visible while flying copter.Note: Substations are close to rad towns usually.. which can be dangerous !!
Players death while flying:When a pilot is shot dead themselves, gyrocopter will auto rotate to the ground.Pilot will die like a aviator !!!!
Bombs:Copter starts out with 1 Bomb on back. You can fly around and press your middle mouse button down to release it to blow stuff up. To reload the bomb, fly around until you find a barrel on the ground, hover over it and press your rust "RELOAD" button, it should reload the barrel for you.
SignsSigns painting is a little bugged with new versoin. You can paint any sign but all paintable things have the same paintjob.. lol looks cool but ill work on it.
Lock:Locking the codelock will prevent other players from using your copter.(I will be adding more features for this)
