AnimatedDynamicHelicopters

This is a free to USE mod.

It appears that the latest hotfix for 1.27 patch has resolved the client crashing issue that was occurring. If you experience issues related to this mod specifically please report it with any related logs to me in my discord.

If you are spawning the smoke grenades using admin tools like VPP or COT then you MUST set the quantity to 1-100. Do NOT use the default "MAX" for quantity or else all smoke grenades will not work properly.
I usually just set the quantity to 1.

This mod adds animations and effects for the dynamic helicopter spawns. I created a separate new spawn system to manage the event so it does not use the vanilla event system, so I'd recommend you disable the vanilla helicopter crash event while using this mod.

When the event is triggered it will spawn a helicopter on a random edge of the map and it will then fly to its designated crash site. While it is flying to its crash site it can be shot out of the sky (if your aim is good enough) to cause it to crash early.

Crash sites can either be specified in the config or you can use the system I made that generates random locations. It works on all maps and only generates locations on terrain and NOT in the water.

While the helicopter is falling out of the sky it has physics so it will not land precisely on crash site but close enough. It will knock down trees so it is impossible for it to get stuck up in a tree. Keep in mind that it is possible to for the crash to land on somewhere inaccessible (for example a roof with no access to the roof)

You are able to customize the loot and the enemies that spawns around the crash in the config. (Compatible with Expansion AI to spawn bots on crash read "Info.txt" located inside the mods Extras folder for more info)

I also added an air strike that a player can call in using an Airstrike Smoke Grenade. An AH-64D will flyby and fire hellfire missiles are the smokes current location. (It will actively track smoke location movement)

There is also an optional Missile Launcher that can be placed around the map that will target and shoot down any helicopter within 1000 meters.

There are serveral options that are customizable in the config that is generated in your servers "profiles" folder located inside the"_DynamicHelicopters" folder.
Detailed instructions are located inside this mods "Extras" folder where you will also find the "types.xml" (Don't forget to add the types to allow new smoke signal to spawn in world and persistency for the crash)

Any bug fixes found after launch. (please report them either here or in my discord)

Planned Features:
A supply air drop. (both dynamic and player called)
An animated flyby bomb strike (to replace vanilla gas strike)
