Config issue possibly causing strange helo behavior??

[Meatball0311 79]

Situation:

---------

1) I am using a helicopter addon that was released as a beta, however there are problems with it responding to _helo land "GET IN" (every other helo's I tested will land with engines on and wait with engines running). This addon however will just hover over the ground. When you tell your group to mount, the helo just stays hovering above the ground does not raise up or land. The only way you could get it to land would be to give it a flyInHeight 0 command, but when you tell your troops to mount the helo takes back off and resituates and hovers over the ground again. I have run into this problem in the past and how I solved it was by giving it a land "GET IN" command followed by a waitUntil command, and when then I would use an addAction command to tell the helo to take off and fly to next waypoint. This addon is none responsive to this and the addon creator seems to have limited availability and has not released a fix in a month + time. So I thought this would be a great way to learn about addon making and improve on my scripting. So I unpacked the pbo and started to mess with figuring out things.

My first thought was that there was a problem with the config.bin. He released the addon with two pbo's that both had a config.bin in each one. I did some tests to see if they depended on each other and it came out that only one was really needed, so I kinda combined both of them into only one config.bin. I only know little about config.bin, and I dont really know what is needed. I am noticing that some addons just have a config.cpp file in it when I unpack it... I dont know the process of what is needed or not and that is one of the questions that I have. Here is the config.bin, can anyone see any proplems or information missing that would make the helo non responsive to ArmA2 commands?
