Each helicopter has its own JSON config file at $profile:\CZAutoz_Heli\. The settings below apply to all variants of that helicopter type.
Modify these values at your own risk. The default values for every helicopter have been carefully tuned by the development team for the best flight experience. Changing flight physics parameters (lift, pitch, bank, yaw, drag, etc.) can result in helicopters that feel broken, are impossible to fly, or behave unexpectedly. If you do make changes, keep a note of the original defaults so you can revert if needed.If in doubt, leave these at their defaults. The global settings in mod_config.json (cargo, repair, toggles, logging) are safe to adjust freely.
