flyInHeight doesn't work for support

[kibaBG 53]

I am trying to make paradrop plane to fly a little bit higher, the feeling of flying Tu-95 (RHS) 100 m above head is surreal. Using the support module to drop a crate. 

_this flyInHeight 500 ;
//plane is flying like kamikadze

or 
 

_this flyInHeight [500,true];
//gives error

I am not using helicopter because the paradrop is needed in battle and with lot of AA unit it will be shredded to bits.

I assume you checked that your input _this is the plane and not something else.

 

While you wait for 2.14 try using both and the ASL variant like so:

 

aircraft flyInHeight 500;

aircraft flyInHeightASL [500, 500, 500];

 

If that still doesn't work just try with a vanilla jet to be sure.

The module itself states "_this" refers to the aircraft. And is working really well when I change the name of its group
 

(group _this) setGroupIdGlobal ["Bear"];                                             

or when making custom crate. Everything works except damn "flyInHeight" .

Verify the command is being run on the machine where the aircraft is local.

What module would that be?

Is the plane created by the module and if so, is it an actual flying AI controlled plane?

Just delay it:
_this spawn {sleep 1; _this flyInHeight 500};
