Great to hear it! Can't wait...

Will the height problem be fixed? If you fly 20m high, the HUD will show you 0m... :rolleyes:

[AnimalMother92 10]

Sweet, looking forward to the update :)

Yep, this is due to the roadway LOD, not sure if we can fix this one. I'll try my best.

Nick,

Thanks for the ACE2 compatibility as well!!! Kick a$$!

[vengeance1 50]

Awesome news! Looking forward to this!

Update report

• Fastropeing, with the feature of having to "get out" and walk to the edge of the ramp during flight

Theres only a few things left, wont be long

Won't this be a little difficult to do ? :)

As long as you don't rush out like an idiot. The feature can only be activated when the pilot engages auto hover, and the helicopter is stationary. AI or human controlled, providing you don't move the joystick/keys its a very stable platform to walk on and select the action.

[manzilla 1]

That sounds like an awesome feature. Like some of the ACE2 features it's only a problem if, as Smiley Nick said, one acts like an idiot. Features like this have definitely grown on me over the life of OFP/A1/A2. I was never a fan of that much immersion in games but now even the small stuff like this just makes the whole A2 experience much more fun.

Is there any chance of getting this done in a Nightstalkers livery?

[sniped222 10]

Hey there i really like this helicopter but i just wondered how i can fix an issue I'm having. i can open the ramp fine and close it but i don't understand how to get into the passenger seats the only way in that i can find is if you stand out 10m to the rear of the helicopter and get into "mid air" and then your in. please could some one help me thank you

[Daniel 0]

Yep, it's a known bug, should be fixed in the next release.

Awsome thank you

How active is this project i.e when is a release expected?

[Herbal Influence 10]

Absolutely great thing!

I can run in and I can even kill passengers ... ;-))

Never seen this before ... and the sound is great also ... I immediately remembered having heard the noise in real life.

Is it a sampled real life sound?

Is there any mission using this already? At best a crcti on Everon ? ;-)

[Kristian 47]

Its being MP tested atm with the Taskforce 86 unit , just fixing the last issues ready for release. :)

@Herbal Influence

Yep, the sounds were taken from RL samples, the new sounds have had an upgrade, and should sound a lot better than the last lot.

@sniped222

Yep, this was due to a previous memory point being moved far back to allow an old Arma ACE parachute system to work. The eject location would clip inside the chopper if it was any closer.

Will the new Chinook use the same paths on the editor? I'd like to know need to re-edit missions to delete the old Chinook and add the new version, or if will drop in without any further editing (as long as the old pbo is removed of course). :)

Thanks, DA

Yep, you can simply replace or overwrite and all missions will be fine. All the features are built into the Chinook once placed in the editor, so no need for any extra triggers or modules. Its all available in one multi role package.

[AnimalMother92 10]

Sounds like a sweet update :)

[Tanngrisnir 10]

Absolutely cannot wait for the next update. :)

[das attorney 858]

Thank you :) Looking forward to it.

[Stagler 39]

Its coming along swimmingly. Trust me

[konyo 14]

Any WIP pics? Such as the cargo sling? ;)

[Lexen 10]

Hot damn. I love this helicopter. Glad to see the work being done on it.
