(to-do)

Documentation

AGM Fastroping

In order to use the Advanced Gameplay Modification's Fastrope feature you must be below

27 meters in terrain altitude and open the Self-Interaction menu whilst in any seat inside

the Chinook. You should now see 'Deploy Rope' once deployed re-open the menu and now select

'Fastrope'

Chinooks Rear Ramp

In order to use the rear ramp of the Chinook you must now either be a pilot or co-pilot.

The reason behind this choice is because of players screwing around with the ramp in

public servers - Tested on 3CB with feedback from pilot members.

Crew-Chief Features

In order to use any of these features you must firstly make sure you are in the correct

seat. To access the Crew-Chiefs position you can either enter it from the Crew Door or

by entering the Ramp Crew position and scroll wheeling to switch to the Crew-Chief.

Abilities:

1:- Open Cargo Hatch - This locks all the seats that are on the floor of the Chinook and

opens the hell hole. Currently no features regarding the hell hole.

2:- Fold Seats - This locks all the seats that are on the red chairs and folds them. This then

adds the ability to the Crew-Chief to Deploy Stretchers that will unfold the stretchers

and allow them to be used.

3:- Remove Pilot Doors - This removes the front side doors of the cockpit allowing the

Pilot and Co-pilot to drop smoke from the cockpit and see better in first person mode.

In return it makes the Pilots vulnerable to gunfire.

Static Line Parachutes

In order to use the static line parachutes you must consider the following:

1:- The Helicopters terrain altitude must be above 140 Meters.

2:- The Rear Ramp must also be either open or level

3:- The Player must be in any of the Cargo seats (this includes ffv crew positions)

If done correctly all players in the cargo seat will see a Blue action near the bottom of

the action menu called 'Static Line Paradrop' This will eject the player with a T10 Parachute

and safely land them keeping all of their gear and any backpacks they had equipped.

Known Issues

Hiddenselections need to be added to the following parts of the BAF models:

-FLIR Pod

-BAF Countermeasure Equipment

-Front Aerials

-Winch

-Interior

Need to look at redoing the UV map for the Winch

American Chinooks needs an overhaul

Bone/points rpt errors with the models

Looks good!

Can you also walk inside while the heli is flying? It would be totally awesome. You could lay down at the ramp with an M249 and supress some enemys while you are taking off.

(Or launch some Javelins or AA Missiles if your backblas-area is free :D )

[mihikle 2]

^ That's not possible within the Arma engine mate, objects don't have their own gravity.

Looks good mate! :)

[deltagamer 612]

I can remember seeing a script somewhere on the forums that lets you walk inside the vehicle whilst flying, I cant remember if it was released or not, it may be something I will have to look into.

Hey,

cool to see more good mods. Perhaps an idea: work together with konyo, he made also a first good version of the Chinooks with several cool features: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25580

Its so much work to get all perfect.

ThX

[deltagamer 612]

@Foxhound Thanks! really glad it was released on armaholic :bounce3:

@Numrollen I have him in my friends list so I'll ask him later on about working together on future chinooks :)

Update - I'm working on the ACH47F and what it will be armed with is 4x Side gunners with m134 and 1x rear gunner with m134, I'm unsure if i should go with a littlebird design with 4x miniguns and 2x rocket pod forward facing or the apache design with 2x rocket pod 2x atgm launcher and 2x minigun forward facing. Anyone got any suggestions?

[doom_sharpe 10]

How do you walk about it it?

---------- Post added at 16:34 ---------- Previous post was at 16:33 ----------

Oh NM

[deltagamer 612]

It only works for the unarmed version and the ramp version, you need to enter the pilot seat firstly and lower the ramp, you can then exit the pilot seat and walk about in the rear however this will not work when flying, only when it has landed. Let me know if you have any more problems.

[tybo25 18]

Congrats for the release! I´ll be downloading it later!

[doom_sharpe 10]

This is awesome. Could you put the get out position in the helo? That way you have to run out of the helo? Love it bro

[hades198 10]

See now I'm absolutely torn between this mod and the SOAR chooks... can't both mods just get together and have a baby or something?

[deltagamer 612]

@hades198 sadly that won't happen konyo has other plans that I'm sure will make a lot of people happy, I know I'am! :)

Update - I will be releasing a hotfix for the mod tonight, ill list the errors in the change log soon

I love this mod. You realise that there are a serious number of british units with a massive stiffy right now...

[disco.modder 116]

Nice to see a Chinook pack in development. Definitely looking forward to the ACH variant, keen to see how you pull that beast off. Have you considered a variant with 50.cal M2's just for additional an variant?

I was unsure if I should add some variants with different weapons for the side gunners, I may do that later on but for the now I'm just working on the SF version adding in a fuel probe etc until I can decide on how I want to do the pilot controlled weapons for the ACH47F.
