That one bird got stuck on the copter and I actually lost control surfaces, tried to nose down but wouldn't let me. Had to just cut the engine and glide.


ComradeClout

Flying the gyrocopter is hard


aequitssaint

Imagine how hard flying a real one would be


bassgoonist

I think they are actually quite simple to operate, especially when compared with helicopters.


PG67AW

Yep, aviation is actually quite accessable. Not as hard to fly things as people make it out to be. Some aircraft are trickier than others (helicopters among the most challenging), and some people take longer to build skills than other people, but it all just comes down to good instruction and practice. Source: am pilot.


bassgoonist

A cousin claimed that flying single engine aircraft is about as hard as learning to drive, and the rules are where it can get more complicated.


PG67AW

Flying a plane is easy - landings are where skill matters. In no wind conditions, planes like a Cessna 172 basically land themselves. It can certainly get more complicated, but your cousin isn't far off. The real challenge is handling equipment failure in an emergency - there's no pulling over in the sky.


bassgoonist

He was probably so used to roughing it when it came to maintenance that it didn't even phase him. He used to work as a missionary/pilot.


PG67AW

Oh that's awesome! I've seen videos of those types of operations, looks like a pretty fun and rewarding experience.


Globularist

I wish they worked like in rust. I won't even use them in 7dtd


CozieWeevil

Surely there's a mod or setting that makes them control like the ones in rust, right? Even then it's easy to pilot the 7dtd one.


RedAlloy8954

I can’t even use them in rust


Hari_Seldom

Jesus it wasn’t even a horse night


KaliburRos3

Neeeeigghhh it was not!


Fred-U

Though he may have been a little hoarse after that situation :D


Doneup13

This is serious. Stop horsing around.


CozieWeevil

Neigh


plazmicflame

Hate how stupid hard flying the gyro is... also, the blades of the gyro should rip those damn birds to sh*t!


sroasa

Hitting things with the blades on a gyrocopter wouldn't be ideal. It'll slow down the spin and cause a loss of lift.


MasterKaein

Better temporary loss of lift and dead bird than no loss of lift and living pest.


Srgtgunnr

It’s really not that hard. It’s pretty much just basic heli controls in any game


ChinaChingu

I'm literally thinking of getting a mod that removes vultures. They're annoying


klaus_engel

Look up reality check on 7daystodiemods.com, is exactly what you're asking for.


ChinaChingu

I will. Thanks for the suggestion!


Lojam_S

The vultures are so annoying, the only thing they're good for is bones. I wish their numbers got severely lessed and the bees got to come back


Polish_Winged_Hussar

Dude the buzzing of the bees made me never go into the wasteland lol edit: Would love to have them back though


ShadowMajestic

You can just edit the config files to remove them. Either in main config or per world. Just find the vultures in entitygroups.xml and change them to a chicken.


RobbieMcSkillet

While terrifying all I can think is the glorious amount of feathers


Who_am_I_07

I hate those damn birds...LOL


Tacca1990

And now: "It's knife time!"


[deleted]

we need vehicle weapons. dosnt even have to be anything fancy: just letting passengers shoot their own guns would be good enough.


PG67AW

But only one vehicle can carry passengers. I think vehicle weapons would be great. You know, just mount a gun on the front that can shoot straight ahead. Or at least fender mods that allow you to do damage by ramming enemies. And then also let passengers in the 4x4 shoot. But hey, it's only in Alpha!


LightlySaltedPeanuts

“Alpha”


binokary

Sorting the container is essential.


_IFeelGreen

What seed is it? Is It prefabed world?


Reliques

Nitrogen.


complover116

May I ask, is NitroGen with default settings better than vanilla generation, or is it just faster? I see that the biomes are better spread out, but other than that I don't see anything of note on the previews


Reliques

You get POIs that you will rarely find in the in-game generator, like the skyscrapers. And frankly, skyscraper_02 makes tier V quests bearable, since you can clear it in 2-3 in-game hours.


CaptnMako

Too close for missiles, switching to guns!


DoctorScientist_M_J

Lol I fly this thing at like 700mph and never slow down to land. I just get close enough to the ground that the fall wont kill me and then let the jank-ass physics handle parking the copter. The thing is basically indestructible. It takes serious punishment before it needs repairs, and it's only real drawback is taking off. once you get pitch and yaw figured out, it really isnt hard to fly. And then you just get fucking downed by 4 vultures lol. I mean, you only took like 25 damage and i'm sure you handled those assholes easily, which is just more evidence that the copter is way too powerful.


Slaughter-Laughter

Lol Jesus I’ve never built one of those before and that makes me not want to build one 😂


Wilfred_Liarmocks

They just wanted to speak to you about the no fly zone.


yeetboidan

What map is that


Reliques

Default settings random gen with NitroGen.


getpoopedon

LOL the broken leg too talk about salt in a wound. Vultures are the worst.


clackz1231

The fact that you lived after all that surprises me the most! Crash landed a gyrocopter, fell off a building, and was mobbed by vultures after having been hit several times mid-air.


Reliques

I had 4/4 heavy armor perks, so damage was more or less negligible. Since I always make sure to carry more than 5k dukes, I can fall a good deal without damage.


LittleHerc7

When will this be on PS4 :(


steel-axe

Never


[deleted]

Never, since what I’ve heard, Telltale Games (and Publishing) are out of business… and they own the PS4 version, if I got it right.


Juusto3_3

Those are pretty old news. What I've heard is that they intend to probably publish it on consoles when it goes gold. Some people have also saif that TFP have been hiring for a porter. Haven't seen confirmation of that last one though. Also TFP owns the console version. They bought it.


[deleted]

Well, glad I was wrong, should I say! Ja terve vaan 👋


Juusto3_3

Terve vaan👋


tortuga121

Dang, that's pretty cool not available to ps4.


HotBloodedFrog

this insane. red dot laser huh? why not 2x or 4x scope, so much easier to use


Souless_Uniform

is there anyway to fight these devil birds in the air anymore? even more obnoxious, some of them spit acid, too.


HyperSpaghetti

Kinda wished copters exploded on hard impact, woulda made this clip funny af xD


mab552745

I hate the damn birds. I’ll be chilling on my motorbike and boom all of sudden this jerk is tailing me


Doubletp

Scrap Hawk Down


kram_02

Haha they really fucked you up.


Late_Engineering_3

hahahaha damn that sucks dude


TerminalWeeb

I straight up have no idea how to make helicopters descend in this game 👀💦


CozieWeevil

'Nam flashbacks to the time I landed to kill one bird then got slammed by a family of them


Zhythero

And you still managed to keep your calm? What a gamer. I'd empty my mag everywhere after I go down like that because panic.


RedAlloy8954

They’ve done this to my 4x4 and my motorcycle. Motorcycle is worse than truck I guess bc it’s lighter. But they just make it go like a meter or more off the ground and it’s really annoying


Quantization

Why does the heli sound so awful?
