This campaign is for people who like flying helicopters in ArmA3. Most missions focus on the Mil Mi-24 Hind because of its versatilty. The campaign fully supports the Advanced Flight Model. The story is about a former military pilot and if the mission is played solo this character should be chosen. The first season of the campaign allows for up to 2 player to play COOP as pilot and gunner, later missions will allow more people in several helicopters. All missions are still BETA and the COOP is somewhat untested. Any constructive feedback is appreciated. The campaign includes a ton of references to other games, movies and TV-shows often with some silly humour. Hope you are not easily offended. Thanks -RHS team -CUP team -Grumpy Old Man for his awesome loadout script -ALIAS for his roadflare script -Project Opfor team -all the modders, scripters, mission builders etc. who make this community great since OFP days.

The Helicopters DLC need a big update ! Thats not fair, where is the steering animation ? And why i cant take up while i am rolling on the airstrip ?

Hi guys, I'm building a sort of training map that's getting to be quite ambitious the overall objective being to allow for multiplayer training of equipment and tactics in arma. I have a lot of equipment down and have been creating scenarios etc... for each type of equipment to instruct players how to respond to the specific scenarios. I have a few transport helicopters (little birds) placed in an area with a trigger encapsulating them (10m height) the condition of the trigger being "This" and this code in the upon deactivation field This all works great however I am running this on a dedicated server and it seems only the pilot has control of weather or not the specific vehicle component is damaged, I would like if the copilot could control this so as to have an instructor in the copilot seat randomly disabling components at inconvenient times.

Is it somehow possible to "hook" the helicopter inside the hangar of the USS Liberty and get it thrown out to the Libertys helipad and vice versa? Ingame I´ve found a addaction "hook", but it´s not working? I am using a Ghosthawk and hangar doors are opened. If I´m the driver of the ghosthawk I´ve got the option to hook in action menu, but without any effect. Is there a code known, how to get it hooked from beginning or how do I get it working?

Hello everyone, I recently got into helicopter flight, I have been practicing for quite a while. I was just wondering if there are any online servers where I can just hang out and fly helicopters with other pilots, where there is no combat, but just flight and conversation. Anyone know of any servers that might interest me? It would be a great help! Steam name DownTownAustinB

I want the crew to stay in the helicopter, but i don't know how to get it to land in any other way but this. player addEventHandler ["Fired", { params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_muzzle", "_mode", "_ammo", "_magazine", "_projectile", "_gunner"]; if (_ammo isEqualTo "SmokeShell") then { _unit removeEventHandler ["Fired", 0]; _pos = [getPos _projectile, 500, 500] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; _veh = createVehicle ["B_CTRG_Heli_Transport_01_tropic_F", _pos, [], 0, "FLY"]; _veh allowdamage false; createVehicleCrew _veh; {myCurator addCuratorEditableObjects [[_x],true ];}forEach units group _veh; //debug _wp = group _veh addWaypoint [position _projectile, 0]; _wp setWaypointType "GETOUT"; _veh addEventHandler ["GetIn", { params ["_vehicle", "_role", "_unit", "_turret"]; [tsk,"SUCCEEDED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; [tsk] call BIS_fnc_deleteTask; call selectRandom [HNK_fnc_createTask_HVT]; {deleteVehicle _x}forEach crew _vehicle; deleteVehicle _vehicle; }]; }; }]; Keep in mind, ive spent the whole day trying out setWaypointstatement, and trying utilizing what the wiki example gave. _helicopter move (getPos _destination); sleep 3; while { ( (alive _helicopter) && !(unitReady _helicopter) ) } do { sleep 1; }; if (alive _helicopter) then { _helicopter land "LAND"; }; And the AI will just hover over where it is suppose to land. Also if you know how to add a waitUntil {speed _projectile == 0}, much appreciated because i keep getting generic error in any form of implementation i choose.

Hello Everyone! So I'm making a custom campaign for me and some of my friends to play coop. So far I have been using audacity to create sounds files and declaring them with the description.ext using "class cfgsounds". So first I record my audio, then distort the voice and add static to simulate a radio effect, then I simply create a trigger that will play the sounds using the in game UI under EFFECT --> ANONYMOUS ---> MOB1(my custom radio sounding ogg file). So far it has worked great! Everyone can hear the sounds, it sounds like comms over a radio, its plenty loud and clear, and everything is great! On the 3rd mission I have all players inside a flying helicopter and attempt to use the same technique as the previous missions but for some reason the audio is so quiet that I couldn't even tell it was playing unless I listened very closely. I've tried using audacity to amplify the sound to insane values, use the "cfgsounds" to increases the volume, but no matter what I try the sound is still near silent and muffled. I tried to search around google, armaholic, and here to no avail. Does anyone know why the sound is so quiet in helicopters? Or even better, how to make the volume and clarity normal? Thanks for the help guys!

Hi! I'm currently working on a few mod. Most of the planes within the mod has a radar, and I got that shit working just fine. My only problem is the fact that I can't figure out a way to set the zoom on the radar panel. The radar is set to a range of 15 km, but the display can't zoom further than 4km. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Back in the Arma 2 AO days a script/ module used to exist that allows the player to call medevac and land at a red smoke gernade. This was a module and could be placed in any mission easily. I tried this module in Arma 3 but it did not work anymore, so I was wondering if anyone had another module. I would rather have the Module because it can easily be used for different missions, rather then writing a whole script per mission. If a module is not available i was looking for a script that might work. I have checked the forums and really don't see a FULL answer for what I'm looking for. I have tried assembling bits and pieces and have yet to get it right. The idea would be as follows. Medevac helicopter "Med_heli1" awaiting at the FOB or airbase. Player would activate the medevac call using the radio menu. Once activated the medical helicopter will begin the call. Trigger would have a timer so that the helicopter may not simply spawn or show up. The timer is to give the player the feel of waiting and securing a sight. Our birds are not ready at a moments notice unless it was already in the air. "Med_heli1" would begin the journey to the EVAC site and would await a signal. This signal could be red, green, or Ir strobe as needed. Until the helicopter sees this or this trigger is activated it would orbit the player area to avoid being an easy target. Once the helicopter detects it will land at the smoke, IR, or a suitable location. (Engines stay on and hopefully it doesn't crash) Player can bring the casualty to LZ (helicopter) and it will be loaded onto. Once all wounded has been loaded or helicopter is full it would RTB and await it's next call. (the idea of having the casualties removed vs having them healed instantly is up in the air, I prefer to have the guy off the squad because it is far more realistic and teaches you to really watch what your doing vs run and gun.) (if this was not possible or not wanted the casualties can be healed over a time and returned to the players squad) The other thing would be to LIMIT how many times the bird could be called or to set a trigger that can force the player to secure the LZ and make sure the no opfor is detected. (In real life those birds dont fly into a hot LZ, that LZ needs to be secured and if you lose control or become overrun a hasty LZ would have to be established, they dont want the birds shot down and even though the 9 line has an ARMED escort option it is RARE.) I have tried some of the options using the EDEN editor but it really looks like a mess so I'm assuming script or module would be the only way to make it work and not clutter up the entire map. Thanks again for any help Bill

Steam Workshop Link Imgur Album of Scenario Missions This scenario has three stand-alone missions which activate upon getting into the driver seat of each individual heli. There is one mission each for the AH-9 Pawnee, MH-9 Hummingbird, and M-900 "civilain model" respectively. The features for this scenario give it much replayability, and it can be used as a sandbox with zeus. ______________________________________________________________________ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +++[***AH-9 Pawnee Mission***]+++ Enemy soldiers have occupied the Red Spring Surface Mine. Fly in and clear them out. Intel reports at least one armored vehicle on site and several quadrunners. * Controls: use F2 to command your main co-pilot battle buddy. Call in support if needed by pressing 0-8 to bring up supports. (*Note: enemy positions change each time you play this mission with random placements for added replayability.) *Known issues: NONE! ______________________________________________________________________ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +++[***MH-9 Hummingbird Mission***]+++ A foreign born bomb maker has been confirmed on site at his production facility. Fly to the area, take out the three nearby rooftop spotters, land on the roof, and command your team to "Disembark". They will then clear through the building searching for the HVT. Go with them, or stay on the roof... or use some other tactic. I don't really care. *Controls: F3->F6 are the bench gunners. F7&F8 are the medics, and F9 is the Hummingbird's co-pilot. (Note* the team members will make their way through the building from the rooftop and kill the HVT on their own. Then they clear the shed in the back before waiting on the ground near the silos to get on the Hummingbird to RTB. You may need to kill the HVT yourself if they are dead and not up to the task. Be sure to check the inventory for many supplies and weapons. *Known Issues: F7 team member sometimes does not work. I don't know why. I even gave him remedial training. I think his enlistment contract might be up soon. ______________________________________________________________________ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +++[***M-900 (Civilian Model) Mission***]+++ You are the replacement air mail delivery guy for the day!

Hello, recently I have noticed whenever I get into a helicopter, once the engine is fired up, that the aircraft goes forward and I crash. I can compensate for it by pulling back but it makes it nearly impossible to fly around. I have restarted the game, tried different servers, aircraft, and different profiles. This happens both on vanilla Arma 3 and with mods. I do not have the advanced flight mode on. I even made sure I didn't have the mouse going forward or that my "W" key wasn't stuck. I have not found anything online to help me with my issue so any help or ideas would help.

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!

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=33610 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1234500643 1-4 pilots and co-pilots can join and get randomized helicopter transport missions. Pick one of five available transport helicopters at Khe Sanh Combat Base and complete five missions. Players can either choose to man a single helicopter or fly a helicopter each or use one of the combat helicopters or planes at the main Khe Sanh Combat Base runway. For example, one player may fly a transport chopper, while another player can fly a gunship for fire support in case of a hot LZ. There is however only light enemy opposition present in the area currently. There are three places setup to deliver fuel, repairs and new crew members. The re-fueling occurs automatically when landing or hovering besides the fuel barrels close to the start area. Repairs and healthy crew members are acquired by landing at the repair/medics marker respectively, staying in the vehicle and using the radio 0-0-1 for repair and 0-0-2 for healthy new crew members. The player himself is not healed though. There's a simple respawn system in the mission, a player will be respawned at the starting area and is able to get new missions from the commander. A destroyed transport helicopter is respawned at the starting area as well. A crash landed damaged but not destroyed helicopter has to be destroyed by other means: Use an available gunship from the main base for this purpose. The mission makes use of a headless client to spawn most AI units there. If possible please use one, as it significantly reduces stress on the server. However the mission will also run with low fps on a hosted system. Best experience will be had on a dedicated server with a headless client (HC), see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Headless_Client for setting up a HC. As this is about my first published multiplayer mission, please cut some slack for bugs and omissions. KNOWN ISSUES Sometimes the AI at hill 950 only reluctantly boards the helicopter. Often it is good enough to lift off and land the helicopter a few meter from the landing pad. Most times stuck straggler AI will board then. The AI does not like to walk on the landing pad, it will walk through it. Currently the mission will be nearly unplayable during the night.

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!

Anyone play Heliborne?
