3 Basic Usage

3.1 Helicopter Set-Up

To set up a helicopter for use with the KeliWagon:

1. Drop the included "-sa-keliwagon-aircraft vx.x.x" script into your skid equipped Shergood helicopter.

This script detects which pad it is on whenever transitioning from physical to non-physical, and whenever the helicopter or the pad is edited and repositioned. Detection is based on the location o f the root prim. The root prim must be over the pad and within 5 meters of the surface to be consider on the pad.
