I suppose this falls under "mod request" since I've been looking without finding, but is there a mod out there that changes the Aimpoints on Marine rifles to ACOGs like they all are in real life? Nowadays you won't find an Aimpoint on a rifle in the Marine Corps, and I'd like to alter that as default for the sake of realism in my Arma games.

So, playing around in the editor with a simple transport mission seems to work with every helicopter except the British Wildcat. I order the helicopter to fly from the airfield in the south of the Takistan map to the northern military base. Literally every helicopter I've tried it with makes it, from the Hind-D to the Huey, but the Wildcat has a tendency to "flip the heck out" on the way: the AI pilot seems to just completely lose control of the helicopter and it starts rolling and spinning right into the dirt. It's almost a crap shoot with the Wildcat because sometimes the pilot can complete the mission with no trouble, but if I add two Wildcats then one is guaranteed to go down. I take it's an issue with the AI's piloting skills, because if I set it to increase altitude at the midway point then it usually has enough room to right itself and carry out the mission. Is there a fix? Or a workaround that makes it look good, at least?

I'm fairly new to Arma 2 but I've been toying around with the editor to get a feel for how things work. I've been spawning units on the Takistan map and making simple missions to learn the ropes, but all of a sudden the in-game spawning of units has gone all wonky. If I spawn a pair of planes on the airfield, one will spawn where I wanted it to, and the other spawn nearly a kilometer away despite being on the taxiway in the editor screen. Groups of trucks also tend to spawn scattered and not in the formation they were placed in. Infantry tend to spawn anywhere they want in the general location of their placement. I say "all of a sudden" because my experience with the game is pretty short - this week, pretty much - but in that time I must have made dozens of short missions and just goofed off as many times yet it never decided to spawn my units all willy-nilly like that. Is there something that could be causing this? A mod, maybe? I've downloaded quite a few but none that I would expect to interfere with where the editor spawns objects.
