When placing helicopters on LHD, they take off

[sinny 18]

When placing helicopters on LHD, they just take off.

When placing the vehicles without crew, the landing gear is up.

It looks like the editor think the vehicles spawn in mid air.

 

Is there a way of making the vehicles attach to the ship?

Place the empty Helicopters in 18 metres i think an set them to In "Formation" or "Nothing", then it should work.

No luck, 

With 18m they spawn under the water... It looks like Eden is messuring from the bottom of the sea...

Oh, and they will spawn with the landing gear up...

What happens if you spawn it on land and then setpos it to  the LHD?

 

Above a certain height Aircraft seem to spawn with engines running when using Eden to position them.

 

I'm not sure if this is good or bad yet, it would be better if there was an option.

Yeah, toggline engine on / off would be a welcome option.

cant you use "SetPosASL" in the 2D editor for this? 

Also, you could spawn them manned, but without fuel , and fill them up via a script so they can fly off when you need them to.

I think I've tried the no fuel option but the choppers just spawn with the rotors already spinning so they bounce a little and spool back down.

for jets this is worse as they start with some momentum and move.

 

also for some choppers the gear is also up so they drop on their belly.

I believe there are currently two options that are being used by Nimitz users that face the same problem

 

1. spawn the helo/plane on solid ground and setPos it on the carrier
2. spawn an empty helo/plane on the carrier, use 'createVehicleCrew' after the vehicle is setup to your liking

Hey sinny, try

this flyatheight 0; -syntax may need checked

works for me keeping helicopter on both nimitz and LHD Engine will stay on and responsive to command.

Also differnt heights might work to but 0 has always worked.

Hello guys,

 

I tried flyinheigh 0 but it did not help. When put heli or aircraft on board of LHD, it have gear retracted and engine on. 

 

Do you have any other plans please? Because in 2d editor is easy to set special "nothing" and put required height, but in eden editor it is not possible and I can not create mission in this mod. 

 

Thank you very much :)
