We're getting out of Vietnam. The order has come directly from the President, so we've consolidated our forces at the Da Nang airbase. There are some friendly squads stuck behind enemy lines and we need you to bring them back to the airbase before we pull out completely. Take your Huey, designated as call sign Shark, and get our boys back safely. Your going to be venturing into enemy territory, so watch for anti-air emplacements.

I've set up a mission in Eden Editor where a plane or helicopter (using Blackfish currently) will circle around a target. I have everything set up correctly and the plane moves in a circle around the target. The problem is the gunner sight and where the gun shoots are very far apart. The plane is moving around counter-clockwise and when I shoot my bullets go far right of the main box/crosshair. I don;'t have this problem when moving straight, only when moving around. Help please!

Hello guys! :D So i am really new to modding in Arma, and currently im trying to make my first skin for a helicopter. The skin is currently done, but i have one "major" issue. The model doesn't have any landing gear nor interior. I have looked at other peoples config.cpp and cfgVehicles and cfgPatches, without getting an solution for my issue. Here are some screenshots of how it looks like atm. And here is the three config files: cfgPatches.hpp class CfgPatches { class Ch49_rnoaf_330sq { units[] = {"Ch49_rnoaf_330sq"}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.2; author = "Krijag"; requiredAddons[] = {}; }; }; cfgVehicles.hpp class CfgVehicles { class I_Heli_transport_02_F; class Ch49_rnoaf_330sq : I_Heli_transport_02_F { _generalMacro = "I_Heli_transport_02_F"; displayName = "CH-49 RNoAF 330sq SAR"; scope = public; scopeCurator = 2; scopeArsenal = 2; crew = "B_Helipilot_F"; typicalCargo[] = {"b_survivor_F"}; side = TCivilian; faction = CIV_F; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\heli_rnoaf_aw101\data\skins\Ch49_rnoaf_330sq_1.paa", "\heli_rnoaf_aw101\data\skins\Ch49_rnoaf_330sq_2.paa", "\heli_rnoaf_aw101\data\skins\Ch49_rnoaf_330sq_3.paa"}; availableForSupportTypes[] = {"Transport"}; }; }; config.cpp #define TEast 0 #define TWest 1 #define TGuerrila 2 #define TCivilian 3 #define TSideUnknown 4 #define TEnemy 5 #define TFriendly 6 #define TLogic 7 #define private 0 #define protected 1 #define public 2 class DefaultEventhandlers; // External class reference #include "CfgPatches.hpp" #include "CfgVehicles.hpp" #include "cfgMods.hpp" Hopefully someone can help! -Krijag

Hello friends, On an edited mission, I have an ammo bearer (selectable) and an empty helicopter, When I select the ammo bearer (via team switch), I enter the helicopter and take off, I fly at a height x (30.50 meters) etc. Then I return to the player (via team switch) and the helicopter descends to ground level. Why it does not maintain the altitude when I left it?

Does anyone know if the spotlight on the Hellcat is working? I just tried it and I can see the spotlight moving around but using the option "Searchlight on" there is no light that comes on. I'm looking to make a search mission and this is crucial to that. I've downloaded a few scripts that "mimic" a searchlight but I'm not a fan of how any of them work and most vanilla helicopters spotlights shine directly down and are not visible from the cockpit (my server is strictly first person). I found the bug reports on the Arma tracker and one comment says that they are broken but this was from 1+ years ago. Seems like it would be a simple fix if it is broken... https://feedback.bistudio.com/T68596

Hi! I'm using Arms 3 with my Oculus Rift (via VorpX) and in general I'm very happy with it. I think it is amazing how well it works for not having VR support built in. After fiddling with the resolution and FOV settings a bit I have almost no distortion when as infantry and in ground vehicles. The only problem I have its when flying helicopters. Somehow the FOV seems to be different in there and I have quite severe image distortions especially when rolling my head. Is there a way to fix this? By the way I already noticed the same problem when playing Arma 3 on a Monitor with Track IR, so it is not really VR related. Thank you very much for the help and best regards!

Would it be possible to get the RTDynamics' RIME graphical editor for helicopter AFM's added into the official tools package at some point? It's relatively workable in the textual editing environment right now, but editing tables for aerodynamic coefficients is a pain. Something with which access to the graphical editor would greatly ease.

Three AI helicopters will not land on the USS Freedom if I give them a waypoint to land on the deck. Each waypoint is to a different location on the flight deck, and each waypoint is in line with the flight deck. If I change the waypoints to a 'get out' waypoint, one helicopter will successfully land and the other two will nervously watch, then fly back to the nearest beach to land. There are planes and such on the deck, but more than enough space for multiple pilots to land. I realize that the AI is their own breed of unintelligence, but I am enthusing any options that simply get them to land on the carrier, like setting their fuel to 0 when the get close or something like that (for the record, I have not gotten this option to work).

I need to blow up some tanks with rockets from a helicopter but the rockets are not strong enough. What is the best way to achieve this? The helicopter I am using does not incorporate the new payload-changing system.

Flight Failures Mod by Jack Ost What is it ? This script allows to simulate the failures you can have in your plane or helicopter. It will stop a mechanic or electronic element like the avionic or your engine. For some reasons, only non critical failures have been implemented (so you can't loose your main rotor in helicopter). Features There is three module available in Eden Editor. Place the module that you want on your mission. This mod is server side, so you don't need to have it on client side. First module is to choose random system. The random system will give you one (only one) random failure during the mission, at any moment you can have it. It's depend on the probability that you have choosen on the parameter module (if you don't place it, it will be default parameters). So during a mission, you may not have any failure. Second module is to trigger a particular failure (or multiple) directly. You can synchronize it with a trigger to have the failure at a particular moment. For information, default parameters of the random version are :- you will have only one failure- 30% of probability for avionics- 10% of probability for one engine failure (not both if two engine)- 1% of probability to loose left rudder or right rudder OR left elevator or right elevator OR tail rotor- increase (in %) of probability as a function of the flight time (+25% in 2 hours of flight) NB : I can't test the random version perfectly, so i choose to add an option to having magic repair on your aircraft. NB2 : If your fps are lower than 10, the failure will be cancelled. Guide English Guide French Guide Download LINK here Crédits Bohémia Interactive Spyke (technical adviser) Jack Ost

Hi guys, I am trying to add the HURON huge dust cloud to my helicopter. At first my vehicleclass was Air... it only did a little dust... CHanged it to Helicopter and got a bigger cloud... but still way smaller then the Huron or even the little bird. Do i have to add memory point for the dust on the model? Cant seem to find anything online for that. I would love my chopper to make a dust cloud even bigger then the Huron. Any hint would be appreciated. Olivier

Short story Is there any way of not only modding the (AFM) flight model parameters of helicopters but replace the physics model as well? Like an "Custom Flight Model". Long story I know Arma is not a flight sim and with a different audience but after flying the Huey and Gazelle in DCS for over a year, as well as trying my hands on a R22 in real life, I cannot for my life fly in ArmA anymore. The flight model of most helicopters in ArmA (even with the AFM) is right in the uncanny valley between console and realistic making it the wrong kind of difficult to fly. It feels like the helicopters have the wrong mass/momentum, the rotors don't bite into the air, the engines feel weak, the behaviour is "unpredictable" because the feedback cues aren't really there. With a good simulation and a bit of knowledge of the physics of helicopters you *know* what it will do, when and why - you can feel it - it becomes predictable, natural and almost easy to fly. It's joyful. The UH-80 tilts to the right at takeoff and through the whole flight envelope making me push the stick hard left all the time (that is not how a helicopter works), it's sluggish as hell (not that I have ever flown a real blackhawk) and the tail rotor is either a desktop fan or a jet engine. The *H-9 feels like it has an engine made out of rubberbands, paper and glue. The Huron is OK but breaks down in fire and pain if you look at it funny. Can't do a perfect touchdown like this at 70kph without everything breaking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2taHRbdesV8 And the damn *'splode, 'splode, 'splode* damage model. "Oops, well any landing you can walk away from... - nope *'splode*". I used to love flying in ArmA, now I hate it and I want it to be fun like it once was 18 months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lam9_lqVv78 Is there any work going into improving helicopters or can we mod ourselves out of this?

Hello! Today we deployed our advanced helicopter flight dynamics model to the development branch. You can find more information in the recently released OPREP, but, in short: The advanced flight model is an optional feature, which we hope will make helicopter gameplay more authentic, challenging and enjoyable to master. You can switch to the advanced flight dynamics model in Game Options (section General) and try it with each helicopter we have currently in game. Please be so kind and share with us your experience! We're specifically looking for feedback on these these topics: Flight Experience - behavior and handling of helicopters GUI- layout customization, lucidity, informativeness etc. Controls - schemes usability, customization, controllers issues and related But we are grateful for all for your valuable, constructive and civil feedback. Oh, and don't forget, this is just a first step and we are still working on the RotorLib functionality, alongside the other key features of the Helicopters DLC. Happy flying!

I'm spawning 6 helos (one at a time), flying them into a location, having them land, then spawning infantry on the ground nearby (to simulate them getting out of the helos), then having the helos fly off. It works fine in SP, but when I run it on a dedi server, the helos won't land, they just hover near the landing spot. I do have a bunch of helipads on the ground for them to land on. (More than one gets to the ground simultaneously, so I need multiple.) And as I said, it works fine in SP. I have to think it's something to do with the land command, that it doesn't work the same on a dedicated server. Here's the code called each time through a loop (once per helo spawn) - _airGrp= createGroup east; _Air1 = [getMarkerPos "spawnAir", 0, "O_Heli_Transport_04_covered_F", _AirGrp] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle; // this spawns the aircraft and includes crew //_Air1 is the VEHICLE array, with the actual vehicle being the first element of the array!! (Select 0) _helo = (_Air1 select 0);//give it a shorter name! _wp1 = _airGrp addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "WPair1", 0]; _wp2 = _airGrp addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "WPair2", 0]; _wp2 setWaypointSpeed "limited"; _wp3 = _airGrp addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "WPair3", 0]; _wp3 setWaypointSpeed "limited"; _wp3 setWaypointStatements ["true", "this flyinHeight 25"]; while {(_helo distance2D (getMarkerPos "WPair3")) >= 100} do { sleep 2; }; sleep 2; doStop _helo; _helo land "land"; while {(getPosATL _helo) select 2 >=1 } do { // hint format ["alt = %1", (getPosATL _helo) select 2]; //debugging only!!!!!!!!!!!!! sleep 1; }; sleep 2;//time to unload (fictional) troops --spawn the infantry now-- sleep 25; _helo doMove (getmarkerPos "WPair4"); _wp4 = _airGrp addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "WPair4", 0]; _wp4 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp4 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; I've had this issue in the past, but it's been years since I dealt with it, and I can't remember a solution! Any clues?

Hi guys, I am having trouble with this since the dawn of men. I play good old ArmA (1) just for fun, but I played also ArmA 2 and the problem seems to be in both: I want to have custom made crew, because original crews are just wrong. For example MH60 - SOAR crew. I have downloaded some desert crew and black UH60s to make it look BHD style. Also the equipment of the pilot should be different to crew chief's. But when I want to add them into the helicopter it causes this problem: I add four man crew into the bird (pilot, turret 0, turret 1, and cargo - next to the pilot) all by moveindriver etc. The bird sits on the ground with the crew already in it - good. But then I want a fire team, to get into the bird. I give them waypoint to "Get In" the bird. The all board it. Pilot has the waypoint to transport unload close to invisible H far away. The fire team gets in, the bird flies away, but when it gets to the Transport Unload waypoint, he doesn't unload them. He just continues back to base (as I have told him to do after he unloads the team). Why? I have tried to do it more "complicated" and I have also gave the fire team the Get Out waypoint and synched it to the Transport Unload. In that case the pilot does not fly back to base he is just hovering above the H. Why? That is the whole problem. I know how to add crews with my oqn setting (addweapon, addmagazine, getindriver and stuff) to the helicopter, but that works only for attack helicopters and planes. If it is a cargo/utility helicopter, they don't know how to unload the teams. Can you pelase help? Is there a way? Thank you. PS: small question - is it possible to make the 4th cargo sitting crew member a commander? I mean when I set him as a group leader (no. 1) and put him into cargo, no. 2 is pilot, and no. 3 and 4 are crew chiefs the helicopter doesnt even take off. If you can help also with this please let me know, but way more important is the original issue - unable to unload.

Support Helicopters copilots With the gamemode set to Support, and everything synced the Helicopters get a co-pilot. So when i make my own missions, set it to Support and want to use an AH-64 to crush the opponent, i can't have my friend in the co-pilot seat as my gunner. The problem is the Support module seems to spawn a, UNIT in the gunners seat. I tried removing him with {deleteVehicle _x} forEach crew JEF_1; (JEF_1 being the variable name) This does delete the crew, but leaves the co-pilot seat "unseatable" - You cannot enter as the gunner, somehow it still takes up the seat. Is there anyway to disable this? Thank you in advance, from a newbie guy, trying to make shit happen and failing at the moment.

Hello guys, I would like to know if it was possible to "unlink" parachute controls from helicopter controls ? I bound cyclic movements of the helicopters to mouse movements Thus, when I'm in a steerable parachute, whenever I want to look around, my parachute begin to turn Strange thing it that only Cyclic left and Cyclic right seems to be linked to parachute controls, not Cyclic forward nor backward Freelook mode doesn't seem to have any effect in parachute Thanks for your help ! :)
