Helicopter Thoughts

[KCIV 10]

Ok so here is my premise. I downloaded the Mi-26 (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12312&highlight=MI-26) from armaholic and its awesome! working doors, working cargo bay and the like. It's just freaking awesome! I love how you have to actually drive the cargo (bradly,apc ect.) Into the vehicles and then attach it. Really adds to the realism!

I envision heli coming in, opens back door, goes 30mph at 5alt. and the tanks rolls out lands and starts shooting!! ahaha ok this may not be possible BUT i did have an idea

For passengers when you walk in you can see seats where you then use the scroll menu to "ride in back" which is great. when you "get out" it puts you outside the model of the heli on the ground. which is also fine. thats just how its done.

This takes away from the realism however. I know i dream for a day when we can walk around the inside of the heli in midflight (hint hint arma3) LOL BUT there is a way to get closer to this goal.

Is there a way to do a "load cargo" script for Players?? like the vehicles do for the mi-26?? This way players would have to open door to heli, walk onboard, over to a seat, use scroll menu to "load cargo" themselves in where there attached and then the heli takes off. When the heli lands they "unload cargo" and are next to the seat INSIDE the heli where they then have to precede out the door onto the ground!! obviously this can't be done for some existing models BUT is there a way to do this?? Thanks guys :)

That is a good thought.

About the drop-off... I am envisioning that Arma will not like that and the APC, Humvee, etc will explode upon touchdown. I am not positive on that, but the game seems kind of touchy at times.

[KCIV 10]

AHAHA no doubt! but we can all have our dreams! AHAH :) more likely they just land (cargo doors already open) and the apc ect. drives out. It's pretty legit! I just really really really really want to have walking around heli's to have a point. When you can get in from outside the Helicopter and you can get out outside the model there really is no point to being able to walk inside...

[SpectreTim 10]

Yeah, for sure. We wouldn't have half of what is game is now however without dreamers, so stay hopeful.

[KCIV 10]

For sure! well here's to hoping somebody likes this idea! **cheers**

It's theoretically possible, walking around inside the cabin, but would require an engine update, along with all of the effected models and the sort being completely overhauled. It's more trouble than it's worth.

Yea, I do sometimes wish for more interactivity of the vehicles we ride in Movement wise. This will make getting out of the CH-47 and C130 much more uniformly when your in a combat zone. Plus it will get of the problems when getting out, and get rid of the stiff feeling in the game

Also making it easier to secure your area when your out of the vehicle.

It is possible in an even easier form: moving the "get in" proxy inside the back of a chopper (for something like MI26, or CHxx). You you would need to open the ramp, get in the back, then get the current "get in action" (it could be easy to rename it to smth like "take a seat").

[KCIV 10]

That was exactly my thoughts pufu!!! the only thing is thats the first half. the second half was when you "get out" it would keep you inside the model.

That is also possible, although pushing out several ppl on the same location on disembark might end up in...glitches

[KCIV 10]

hmmm.... my only thought to that is add many "ride in back" options for each "seat" or something... but isn't that the same problem you have when getting out in anyother heli? or could you randomly "getout" people inside of the heli like positions 1-5 or something

[PuFu 4600]

You can have more than 1 get in proxy yes. but since the radius shouldn't be too small, one inside the back of the chopper should suffice.

Regarding exit, yes, it is the same way with any other chopper out there. The main difference is that there isn't a confined space where they exit, while when using that inside an actual vehicle, there is

Sooo... its a config proxy? and then its doable? all i would have to do is edit the mi-26 proxy? itll do the "getin" inside and the "get out" inside as well?

sorry i didnt quiet get what you were saying :(

You would need to edit the p3d

BIS likes to port VBS2 features into ArmA2 series, one at a time. :)

So far we've seen Thermal imaging and tracers and such, I keep my thumbs up for this. :rolleyes:

[KCIV 10]

YESSSS that is what im talking about!! ohhh that would be so awesome! and thanks pufu! ill talk to some of the guys i know and see if i can get that edited :D
