Landing on the water and pick up special forces or have the raft drive right inside the chopper

you mean you wanna pick up the AI soldiers who drown at 1 foot deep water?

[Dawdler 0]

Or he want to drown soldiers, depending on how one see it

Speaking of Chinooks, does anyone know where I can grab the mod that allows them to carry vehicles via a rope? I looked at the editing centre but I couldn't find it (possibly not looking hard enough, I haven't slept in a while).

Also, does anyone know what the realistic hauling cpacity of a Chinook is? I know it would be silly for it to haul an Abrams, but what about a Bradley?

Speaking of choppers.. All the choppers in Flashpoint spool their engines up way too fast.. I mean they can get airborne in under 20 seconds or so. Veteran mode should offer realistic engine spool up that takes just as long as in real life.

What do you think ?

The addon for the cargo rope i think is in www.ofp.info. I dont really see the point to a floating chinook anyway, seeing as how that soldiers can't swim so you wouldnt be able to drop them off, nor pick them up because the time you would get there they would already be dead. Maybe later on though Op Flash can make a patch so that soldiers can swim a distance before they start to drown. And yes it would be nice to have a more realistic start up time for the helos.

I agree.

a chinook can haul a 105 mm Howitzer with ammo, some 10 tons i think, no more then that!

the CH-53 cant haul much more then that too on a sling, although i know of a case where a CH-53 hauled 2 Howitzers, their crews and some ammo inside the cargo bay!

I have seen that on tv where the chinook just lands in the water and a boat comes driving out or driving into the boat.So why not just have it where the normal LST boat just drive into the helicopter in the game?

u wouldnt be hard to make people swim just make em float and give them an animation when swimming i guess bis could do that. With all that equipment they could swim due to tings like paks r very boyant if you go tramping with one of those massive paks and cross a river if it gets too deep the pak lifts you up and away you go.

You can find several cargo scripts at OFPEC under this link:

Coding Snippets

They are under the Helicopters and Rappelling section. I myself prefer RonalV's Chinook Carrying Script, which you can find there. Its the most realistic and actually has a rope sling addon. Only problem is the rope isnt textued

Hmmm,to let a boat go out/into a chinook one had to be able to put cargo (I mean real stuff! into a chinook first...anyone got this?

A jeep maybe,a movable rearcargo door...and so on!?

good n8!

Nah. I must get airborne quick in CTF. And i'm not playing in cadet in MP.

But an option would be cool. Avaible in veteran mode too.

Being able to motor a Zodiac right up into the back of a Chinook in OFP would be awesome!

EDIT: Um, I don't think a PBR would fit in a Chinook. You can howerer, suspend a PBR from slingload harness with a script.

I'd settle for a tailgunner for the chinook. And to open the rear doors on both the chinook and MI-17.

If only we could have more than one gunner on a vehicle...

Have any of you guys ever seen those old Chinook gunships from Viet Nam, called Guns-a-Go-Go's or something weird like that. They had 5 gunner stations, a turret mounted nade launcher, and ffar pods. NOW that would instill some fear into those commie bastards.
