@anime_6915 I can't confirm but I would guess setting "tail rotor failure chance" to 100% would probably work

is there any way to turn on random tail rotor failure, but not the engine?

Thanks @Early and @LtPinecone, I appreciate it, and I'm happy you're getting good use out of it!

@robertbough86 thats sick! did you ever have to hit the reset button haha

I've done this in real life, except in a MH53 while I was a crew chief in the US Navy. Shit was a blast! Literally could get a water bottle to levitate in the air for 3-5 secs before gravity came back lol

Great stuff dude

This is by FAR one of (if not) THE best heli practice maps on the workshop.

Hey all, as a proud union member and in honor of Labor Day, I got my ass in gear and caught up to the latest maps. Sorry for the delay! You can now find Livonia, and two seasons of independently developed Weferlingen in the collection, or via the links in the description above.

Enjoy, And have a great weekend!

And a moment of remembrance for those who fought and died to give us a weekend, overtime, and safer, less abusive working conditions. Solidarity forever

Thanks for the feedback all, much appreciated and I'm glad you're having fun!

@kage - try adjusting the tail-rotor failure chance % in the settings...fully clear the field and retype the number; if there is an accidental space or other character it might be breaking it, I can't recall if I added any verification that its a real number. Short of that, try a few different vanilla choppers (and CUP helicopters had* alot of issues last I tested)

Thanks for the hell-heli but, I can't seem to use the (Tail Rotor Failure) anymore, I just doesn't seem to do anything for me anymore :(

Added Malden, link in the description.

Happy landings!

Thanks a lot. It's a big help for practice :)

Thank you for making this dude

Roger that instructor.

@SamTDS no, this version will not be multiplayer anytime soon - i haven't the time to make such a major change -and- maintain it....that said, follow the link above to the Bohemia forums, on there I previously posted a Multiplayer training script framework-of-sorts (including an example/demo) to allow a Co-pilot to act as instructor and control failures, etc. BUT it does not have the 'change helicopter' feature....its also slightly out of date but should still work :/

If i can get that demo script updated soon, I'll gladly post on Steam and leave a note about it here

Will it work sometime in multiplayer? I want to practise it with my friend who is being my mentor for the game

It's Tanoa Time!

Enjoy!

Thanks alot for this, much appreicated!

As a guy who operates on the ground 99% of the time, this is very useful and very easy practice. Easiest way to learn in the least amount of time. Thanks a bunch, man.

@weaves7 - glad to hear, you're welcome!

This is very helpful, Thanks!

Sounds awesome! Would help my platoon out! :D

@mysticalmoonman I've been trying to figure a maintainable way to do it - at this point there are many community maps in addition to CUP maps, and keeping like 20+ missions updated (although arguably simple) isn't time i always have.

I'll take a look and see if i can't bundle a bunch of missions into an addon; or find a way to turn the whole script into an addon without being a pain-in-the-ass. In the meantime, maybe i can put out a handful for variety's sake...

Absolutely love this map! Straight forward and simple! One request I have, is there anyway you can release this on other maps? Such as takistan or something different then the default maps?

[RFC] I think i've tracked down the Tail Rotor Failure issue when using the AFM, a fix is in the works. I'm taking this opportunity: REQUESTING TRANSLATION FIXES - it could be awhile till this is updated again!

@dr_strangepete: Please forgive me. It was a hardware problem, that I can´t find yesterday. Now all works very fine. And I think it is one of the best addons I ever used.

Thanks again

@dr_strangepete: Thanks for the very fast answer. But:

What is a "RPT" and where can I it? And how can I send it?

@fschuster2000 - if you'd like to send me your RPT i'll see if anything stands out. As is, the mission has no key bindings nor config changes, so i'm not sure what the issue could be

@tatankarojo ¡Gracias! Doy la bienvenida a correcciones de traducción; Traductor Google es bastante malo.

First of all great work.
But I have a problem with my joystick Saitek x52. I swith the mouse movement to a hat button and have another button for ALT. So normaly I can "defreeze" the center view with 2 clicks on the ALT-button and then I can change the view with the "hat-mouse" button to view around.

This always works great. But in this scenario it won´t work. But the keyboard ALT and the mouse works like always in the normal way.

I look in the configuration but I can´t see anything special for this scenario.

Someone have an solution?

Excelente workshop para pacticar con los helicopteros en Arma 3, recomiendo este tipo de Workshops para mejorar tus habilidades en partidas multiplayer

@dr_strangepete, thx i just copyed all the files over and it worked beautifully. THX

@Ranger Karl, absolutely! it will require minimal hand tweaking files, and a copy of the mission directory (which is on the forum thread linked above.) I have plans to add steam missions for certain popular maps, but i can't do all, time is tight as-is. In the meantime:

+Copy all of the files from the mission folder you downloaded/extracted (except mission.sqm, do not overwrite the Arma-generated one) and Paste into a new, editor-created mission folder of the map you desire to play.

+Add 1 pilot player unit to the map (or any.) Optionally, copy the player Init code from the original to your unit.

+Done, Save it.

That said, if anyone experiences respawn-distance issues on custom maps, let me know. the script should detect the map boundaries if the map is configured correctly. I haven't tested on more than a couple maps, and there are so many now (good!)

hey this is a really cool mission that i have played alot but is there any way to port it to other maps (like chernarus)

v2.3 Changelog:

+Mod Enumeration - will search and list new helicopter mods**
+Исправлен перевод на русский язык - спасибо ruPaladin. Russian translation overhaul by ruPaladin; Thanks again!
+User-set Respawn Altitude and Deathcam Timeout in settings dialog
+Rotorlib support (not the cleanest hack, but works)
+Settings besides Weather, now automatically save
+Solution to loss of Action Menu when separated from helicopter

-MANY bugfixes - duplicates; WY-55; deathloop; text overflow; unlimited ammo; ocean-death; NV, +more

Quick update - i have finally found some time recently to work on this, so bear with me and i'll try to pump out an update once its stable enough - slow but not forgotten! thank you for your patience!

@Dangerous-D, @Ryan Anderson - thank you! Спасибо! Russian translation fixes should be included - i haven't heard feedback for any other languages tho...

Both these scenarios are amazingly helpful, Thank you

I regularly recommend them to other pilots I encounter in MP sessions

Очень хороший проект! Позволит вам научится летать на вертолетах. Интересно...

Fair enough! Thanks for all your help!

hahaa, yes: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=163018062

it will occur time to time until i rewrite - last rewrite started strong but got sloppy quickly.

Also, when flying the Kaijman (Black) I crashed it into water. When I spawned again it spawned like 4 others and kept blowing me up and repeating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeOtfJZwP90

Clearing the Cache worked, thanks!

probably steam cache issue - try unsubscribing, or if that fails try clearing the mission cache as described a few posts ago (Nov 4th).

run this code in the debug window, it should return 2.02, if not its outdated:

hint str(profilenamespace getvariable "dsp_arpVersion");

Sorry! I commented in the wrong Workshop. Stratis Hell-Heli has the DLC Helicopters but Altis doesn't for me. When I open the Change Helicopter menu it just doesn't show the DLC helicopters.

@Jjrage - for the most part it should, what part isn't working? Flight model, or do you just not see the vehicle options?

How do I get DLC helicopters to work with this?

M-900 hitpoints have been fixed in the A3 Development branch, so wooo, and, be patient stable-branchers :)

Hotfix #2 published - all engines should fail properly except the M-900 which is bugged ( http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=21724 )

was also able to throw in Map Click Respawn, and shorten the death cam length. At this point a whole rewrite is well underway, and gui redesign: spaghetti code be gone!

Caching issue is happening again...if the new class names are not visible in mission, close Arma, open your User Profile Folder (usually Documents\Arma 3, or \Arma 3 Other Profiles), go in the folders 'Saved' > 'steam', and delete anything related to hell heli.

At absolute minimum, a Hotfix will be ready by tonight with support for the 3 new helicopters coming with the DLC, and hopefully by tomorrow night i'll be done with the new version, with more fixes and features. Hotfix will also include fixed russian translations (thanks Paladin!!), and quick fix for the WY-55 engine refusing to die :)

upcoming fixes and features:
- Community-made helicopter mod support
--- user-added classes & user-selectable 'Change Vehicle' menu (..soo....many....choppers....)
- RTD flight model quirks
- Map click teleport
- Deathcam/respawn timer user setting

just to name a few. bear with me!

thanks @Norgs, i'm glad it helped!
