Credits:

If I have forgotten to credit you then I apologize. Please feel free to let me know so I can update the credits.

There will probably be more features to come as I work on these but any suggestions to what I can add would be great as well. Thanks for all of your support.

Also I could always use with more help so don't hesitate to contact me :)

Note:

This is an expansion of the permission/information about usage of the mod and hopefully it will stop all the Private Messages I'm receiving about sources, re-textures, individual releases and so on.

Basically:

Q:- Can I edit Versions 1.2 and above and release them Publicly?

A:- No...

Q:- How about privately for my group?

A:- Yes but only for your group i.e. No Public release.

Q:- Can I have the sources of this mod past Version 1.1?

A:- Simply No, this is because not all of it is my work.

Extension:- Also you can get models from the A2 samples

however that doesn't mean you can use the configs included

in this mod (V1.2 and above).

Q:- Can I still use Version 1.1 and below for my mod?

A:- Yes feel free to do so, also PM me that you plan to do so.

Q:- Your mod is too large for my group, can you lower the size?

A:- No and to be honest with you its laziness on your side and

I'm not going to waste my time making a mod to your specifics.

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask however don't waste your/my time asking for permission or sources for the mod as it won't be happening.

- (For the text below) This stands for V1.1 and below, any newer releases do not fall under this and will not allow edits of its current form. This is due to the fact that there is some external content not by myself, sorry for this but there will sadly be no sources released passed V1.1.

If you wish to use this addon (V1.1 and below) for your own mod then please make sure you

message me first on the bohemia interactive forums to let myself know that you plan to use it,

also don't forget to credit everyone involved as a lot of hard work went into this. Thanks.

You need AGM. Use the self interaction key whilst inside the helicopter.

Oh, ok.

I thought it was integrated in the choppers.

And what if I want to let AI use it?

I'm not too sure about getting the AI to do it. You would really have to ask someone from AGM since I know they managed to get AI to fastrope.

You say we need to bind a key for the multifunctional camera, looked through the post and couldn't find what key needs to be bound.:p

That Wildcat is amazing, awesome job.

Its actually a vanilla feature for sling loading. Just go to Controls > Keyboard > Common > Multifunction Camera and set your key. I can't remember what it is for vanilla but its worth changing the key to something else.

This is a great Addon, Thank you and merry christmas! Also i noticed a AH-64D Base Class within Empty -> Air which might be off your Addon. Also, i would like to ask if you can consider adding a MERT Helicopter (Chinnok). For some information:

Hey! Great job on release they look great. And I hope your having a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays :) a few bugs I thought I would bring to your attention that I noticed.

Its hard to notice but look under the front left tire. Looks like a rope leading down from the pilots seat, its acutaly his/her arm. Very long :P

LMG on the back of the chinook is a bit friendly fire ish..

2014-12-25_00004_zpsdbf5127d.jpg

And in zeus and mcc only the chinooks show up. I hope for this to be fixed in the future, atleast for zeus. Its the same problem as the Stryker pack you have but you have fixed that issue on that front :) Look where the highlighted area is on the screen and where the mouse pointer is.

I hope you are enjoying the time with family and friends and thank you for releasing this today it has been a great gift and I hope you will update it when you have the time. To fix these small bugs.

Thanks!

Awesome port, really enjoyed flying with these.

Have you got plans to implement the Flight Model for the Lynx and Merlin as they already exist in the vanilla A3?

Great work on these helicopters, man, they are stellar! Its a lovely little ArmA III themed Christmas present :)

Just thought I would bring a couple of issues to your attention from the short testing session I've been running this afternoon;

Firstly I've noticed that the FLIR MFD's don't seem to work, I've tried turning them on and off in every bird but can't see the PiP displays change.

Secondly, the multi-functional camera doesn't work on the CH-47, it is perfect for every other vehicle but not that one.

Thirdly, the CH-47's sling loading allows me to sling load ammo crates but nothing larger. I couldn't get it to lift any of the Huron containers or any light vehicles, but the Merlin can.

Forth on the list (edited), the spotlight on the armed Wildcat doesn't work (cannot say for other vehicles yet)

Finally, (I am unaware if this is anything to do with you) with your beautiful helicopters I cannot use 2xR to quickly attach cargo, I have to use the action menu "Hook" to do so.

However, despite my whining I love this mod and thank you whole heartedly for providing us all with some new toys to play with in our BAF adventures. Thank you again, hope you're having a great Christmas!
