Check my vids! TBH I'm not the best pilot, but if you just let go of the stick, K-Max will settle into a gentle climb, so there's that. I gave it a ton of yaw authority to simulate the servo tab control system, some people don't like it, but I've had a few helicopter pilots review it favorably.

There is a logging version that is still experimental, it likely will be possible with the MSFS 2024 engine, but limitations are thus far preventing inclusion in 2020. I used gauge logic to make the sling load shift under the aircraft for the Bambi bucket, the military version sling load and the grapple and I also used gauge logic to keep the log on the ground when the grapple is within 50-100 feet. When you close the grapple, the log becomes attached to it.

Very nice action sequence...adds excitement to our hobby...🙂...looks like you've made some custom enhancements for it that's paying off...

Thanks for sharing...!
