Arma 3 VTOL

[Anargy 10]

Hey guys,

I'm currently trying to create an addon and I just need to figure out how to make it work as a VTOL like the Osprey did in Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead.

Does anyone know how to make it work like a VTOL; slowly hovering above the ground and when needed it can go as fast as a lightning bolt?

Thanks a lot!

it works exactly like in A2:OA ...

Answer: it's a fixed-wing aircraft with the vtol = 3; parameter.

So how do I put that in the config? Just vtol = 3 ?

What aircraft are you using ?

You need to "inherit" from a class of Arma 3 planes in the CfgVehicles, then modify the parameter vtol (as well as the other parameters you want or need to change as the name, the path to the 3d model and so on).

schematically, after the cfgpatches:

class CfgVehicles
{
  class_A; //a class of arma planes from which you inherit
  class My_VTOL: class_A 
  {
     model = "blablabla";
     displayname = "blalblabla";
     vtol = 3;
     ...
  };
};

I saw an VTOL aircraft on armaholic for A3 a couple days ago maybe you could extract and peak at their config.cpp?

^ You can do that with my F-35B port for example.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, forgot about it *ashamed*.

Ehmm, actually, no.

I'm helping create a Pelican from the Halo series.

Also, thanks Chortles for your config and Grinher for the idea :D

Chortles, when I open your config.cpp I don't seem to get any information out of it?

Just a link to your thread.. :p

Sorry, I'm kinda new to the whole config scripting, etc.

Nevermind, it worked!

It's just that the VTOL is too slow for a pelican, so it's using a helicopter mode now. Anyways, thanks a lot!
