New ideas for ofp

[Unhappy customer 0]

Here are a few new ideas for OFP mission makers and addon makers and script writers...

1)  Someone could make an autorotation script for helicopters, so that instead of bailling out of a helicopter (when the engine dies in flight) you would have a new action in your action menu titled "autorotate" where the chopper would descend to earth at a survivable rate, allowing pilots and passengers to escape from the doomed chopper (after crashlanding).  This would replace the ejection feature for helicopter pilots, but passengers would still be able to eject if they wanted to.

2)  When you eject from a fixed wing aircraft, you should be able to have a small life raft deploy under you so that you don't drown if you land in the water.  If you are playing MP and you want to respawn, simply jump out a drown yourself.  Other wise you could be rescued by a BAS UH60 with deployable ladder.  (real life ejection seats do deploy a life raft attached to a cord that dangles below the pilot)

While i cant really help you out with rafts after ejection I am surprised that you dont know that helos in OFP perform AUTOROTATION landings...

cut your engine off and push your collective down...

and that's all, unfortunately, too easy and doesnt requires any skill at all. i'd like a script that forces more realistic and difficult autorotation landing.

BTW, latest gmr explomod scr*ewed up with damage detection on chopper and rendered autorotation useless as even after an autorotation the helo explodes when touching ground... the fix will be easy tho...

1. When the chopper cuts out, level off and hold "z", this will autorotate it.

2. A while back this was discussed, but I don't know what, if any, progress wad made on it by the people that said they would give it a shot.

Wow I didn't know OFP simulated autoratation but I just did a test where i put a cobra 200m up without fuel and landed it safely. Its a lot harder at lower altitudes though...

Ya, it took a while till I found out about it too. And using it can be quite hard. But like anything, you get better at it the more you do it.

I am doing this, unfortunately they are WW2 pilots

Yeah hows it going with that little project?

Really want to get some info about that!
