PC Has anyone tried out the gyrocopter yet?

I know it's stupid far into the end game, but I spawned one in to go for a test fly. It's amazing, something I never knew I needed until I used it. A17's vehicle additions are by far the highlight with the new level system a close second.

Seriously, if you haven't tried it yet, spawn it in with some gas. Fuel up and let 'er spin.

So far I've crafted the bicycle, minibike, and the motorcycle before I decided to go for a fresh start to try different perk builds/base designs so I haven't gotten quite there yet, however I want to wait until I can actually craft it rather than spawn it in but man am I tempted.

 
I'm past level 100, and could easily commit the necessary skill points into building one, but the problem is I've had game crashes repeatedly 'steal' my bicycle, and I imagine the same BS will happen with all the other vehicles, so I've avoided building anything other than the bicycle so far.

I play with melee and crossbow, so I've had no real reason to get the chem lab running, so less incentive to chase after shale as well.

Would be great for finding airdrops and wandering hordes.

I've had a couple of occasions where I stumbled on a stationary horde that had arrived behind me, only to have the Z's time out and collapse (dead) right in front of me before I could bash any of them.

 
Yeah I've played with all the vehicles in creative, the gyrocoptor takes a while to get used to controlling it is awesome once you figure it out :)

 
I've recently hit level 100 and I'm thinking about giving it a try. Seems like it would be a great way to escape the blood moon night lol.

 
I was impressed with the flight mechanics of it. Has the feel close to the actual thing for the most part. I mean, a lot easier to fly than the real thing, but for a game version it's a good balance. Audio needs work though.

....at about 2KPH!!!

 
I've finally gotten around to making one, and it feels like a step back from the motorcycle, to be honest. The view is handy for scouting(if not very pretty because of engine limitations), but it's way too slow for my liking. Especially considering it comes so late in the game and is pretty expensive to make.

Plus the current sound grinds my gears, but I'm sure that's just placeholder.

Its also extremely slow compared to others, I'm unconvinced yet.

 
I just crafted one and gave it a shot. I like it but see absolutely no reason to actually use it. It's not any faster, might actually be slower than, the 4x4 which I usually use. It's not like this game has mountains or any large bodies of water that need to be crossed so the 4x4 will work perfectly fine for me.

 
I haven't used it yet. The truck can fit 2 players which means my friend and I only need one vehicle not to mention the massive storage the truck has. Navesgane terrain doesn't feature anything that makes flight appealing and Alpha 17 random gen is garbage. Plus, like many other things in the game, by the time you get it you don't need it.

 
I spawned one in a test map and took me ages to figure out how to lift off lmao. I have jump bound to a mouse button and apparently, the jump for the chopper defaults to space. Once I got that down, it was rather fun.

 
Last time I flew in one I had a vulture right on my tail while traveling over half the map. It finally gave up, but it was right there.

Happened on my stream yesterday.
