📋 About This Mod
With full permission from the original creators, i am releasing a mod that improves the handling and speed of the various flying vehicles released for this game.
After several hours of testing and tweaking, i came up with carefully crafted stats that differentiate each aircraft based on its size, with small helicopters being agile and fast, and bigger helicopters being slower but still manouverable. There is only one airplane currently available which is the Duster and don't worry because it was not forgotten!!

List of Changes:
Bdubs Vehicles:
UH-60 Black Hawk:
Improved handling, climb rate and top speed, just enough for it to feel like a big, fat helicopter moving through the air.
Significantly improved handling, climb rate and top speed, this will now feel like a proper small and agile helicopter.
Slow accelleration initially but highest top speed, significantly improved handling, should be also easier to take off.
JingMaoBing's/BlewBarryFarms Helicopters:
Significantly improved handling, climb rate and top speed, this will now feel like a proper small and agile helicopter.
UH-80 Ghost Hawk:
Significantly improved handling, climb rate and top speed, all of these values are about 25% less than the ones on the MD-500.
I advice to create a folder for this vehicle since the original comes without it.
UH-1H Huey:
Significantly improved handling, climb rate and top speed, all of these values are about 25% less than the ones on the MD-500.
I advice to create a folder for this vehicle since the original comes without it.
