  1. This is a great thing. Amazing job. I NEED to know one thing though, please teach me, how did you make the helicopter land under fire so consistently? Please, please, PLEASE tell me.
  2. It seems like nearly everyone who has ever even heard of Arma 2 knows about the ridiculous (infuriating, discouraging, gut wrenching, pain inducing, etc.) helicopter AI issues. Why can't BIS fix them? Even if they just created a scripting command to make a unit ignore enemy AI (like someone suggested earlier in this post, a wonderful idea, btw), then it would make a tremendous difference. I set out to create a mission that highly involved insertion under fire, being totally unaware of the horrendous helicopter glitches. My idea was originally going to be a multiplayer mission between two company size air cavalry units one player per team would be the captain, and each platoon leader would be a player, each company would have six helicopters moving in teams of three that would be able to transport one platoon per helicopter team, the captain may or may not have a heli for his HQ element. Needless to say, this idea is completely retarded and likely impossible under these circumstances. The mission that I was developing as a test concept for this mission has now become a full-blown campaign in a quest to find out how to fix the helicopter AI and bring this information to the world. I may end up having to just litter the map with invisible heli pads, which would limit the chances for risky tactical insertions by my platoons on the map, I really don't want to, though.... I have no useful information to give, except that I can tell you that most of the suggested methods only moderately ease the pain of this problem. Keep searching and let me know if you run across something that helps, I will be sure to do the same for the poster and for all of you. I tried the disableAI, it didn't seem to alter their behavior, have I done something wrong? There are no save points in the mission or anything like that. UPDATE: I am going to give these scripts a try: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?106653-Chopper-aerial-taxi-script http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?108862-Helicopter-insertion-on-request
