helicopter bugs

[garrett1 11]

-once repairing helicopter the engine will not start in the pilots seat, but when you go into the co-pilot seat you can.  After starting on the engine the helicopter engine will stop working after a few seconds, or will violently jump 30m into the air and do front flips, and exploding.

 

 

 

*NEW*

-when in a ghost hawk after switching the gunner seats, if you go into or out of the a circle objective mark you will be kicked out.

 

-When loading people into the Kajman, the helicopter will act as if it is being hit by a truck, then explode, wasting all your money (KOTH).

 

 

*Other
PDW2000 - magazine has a purple bugged texture, noticeable when reloading, also the magazine disappears after taking it out.

 

Zubr - with no bullets, switch out to a different weapon and back to it.  This time the mag/ bullets may float in mid air.

What mods do you run?

There is a feedback tracker ( feedback.arma3.com ) for such kind of reports, consider creating new ticket there.

Those issues might be caused by mission (KOTH in your case) not Arma 3 itself so try to reproduce them in editor without any mods before reporting.

 Hello, In KoTH I have that problem too, what I do is: Change to Normal flight model, and go to repair pad, after 100% repaired then I change again to AFM.

en3x, I don't have any mods, I just play King of the Hill.

 

erwin23p, thanks for the tip, its a shame that they have this bug with helicopters, its really annoying.

[en3x 209]

I'm very curious about mods situation - King of the hill, Invade and annex - they don't have mods correct?

But what they do have is scripts...Perhaps it's scripting issue that you are experiencing.

[garrett1 11]

yeah, it could be that the scripting is old or something and doesn't match the new update.

 

One thing I have been noticing is that I think the rockets and bullets in the little bird are shooting below the crosshair, like below the V.  I think it is because the pilot is above the weapons, and the crosshair is the middle of the screen.

Semiconducter, its like the people making the game take so long to make anything happen.  We tell them everything that is wrong, and still it was like how it was a year ago (or longer)
 
same with King of the Hill, we have told them how to fix the game mode, but nothing changes, its all static.

Yeah, you're right but still Feedback Tracker is the best bet to attract BI's attention to an issue. You see, even if somebody from BI stumbles upon this thread and reads its in order to understand whether this is actually an Arma 3's bug, chances are that certain problem is outside of his competence or he doesn't have time as there is more pressing issues that he have to address or he can simply forget about it. Moreover, I'm pretty sure that he will have to create corresponding ticket on a feedback tracker himself because rest of the team should be aware about all known/being worked on/fixed issues.

I had some luck with AI pilots engaging ground targets in a non-suicidal fashion but it seems to have reverted to the kamikaze flyover in recent builds. That's my biggest gripe with helos in Arma 3, that they're useless for CAS.
