i'm with Obama, how do you select any of the stuff???

How to select anything?

would really be nice if the helicopters that needed Co pilots actualy got Co pilots

I would love if it didn't spawn me either on top of the AA or at the end checkpoint

The AA seems unrealistic; it spawns in after you load the troops, and in any heli other than a little bird, you never have enough speed to dodge missiles. They also target you despite being <10 meters from the ground, which makes them impossible to avoid.

-VOTE bugged spawns, and bugged drop points

also it would be nice if when I spawn in a gunship in singleplayer it would be nice if i can have a AI gunner so that I can use everything my gunship has ;w;

Every time I start the transport mission my heli gets spawned within some trees causing the propelers to break ;w;

Perfect

Well done!

This is stupid with advanced flight model since you start flying and are instantly in a stall. The AI shoot exploding bullets and they blow the helicopter up in mid air with a small burst of small arms fire from riflemen. The AI doesn't spawn until you're literally over the waypoint, so engagement is not realistic. AI does not spawn for transport missions, so you have nobody to transport.

Nice with a lot of possible combinations. Although I would like to practice evading missiles with an indestructible helicopter which is currently not possible.

Really cool but after a while and after doing a couple missions, the AI messes up. The helicopter is spawned at drop locations and right on top of the enemy = instant death. Also friendly and hostile AI don't even spawn on some missions (engage). Really like this mod, just hope there's a fix for this? Cheers!

ı dont see that meu.

Doesnt work for me

Really well done! Two thumbs up!

Fixed the spawning on hills.

10/10 will fly again.

Wow. Better than I imagined. This has become the core of my training time.

how download ?

This is a great mission to train, one of the best if not the best on the workshop.

i want it in an " co - op " mode... multiplayer is that a bit possible?

I like this a lot. Exactly what i was looking for.
I would also like if there would be troops to extract (in extraction missions) and smoke at the LZ.
Maybe also bigger radius for troops to come to my alternative LZ if there are enemies at the primary.
Thanks a lot for that mission :)

I like it, the main issue I see though is the starting location often being really bad, like on a slope straight into trees that take off your main rotor if you try to take off. If you're going to have you randomly spawn anywhere on the map, the chopper should already be airborne to avoid anything like that. Instant crashes right at the start that I had no way of preventing are no fun.

Very nice mission, tought me how to recover from a tailrotor being destroyed mid flight

@SongSungBlue5910 - Then why not fuck off and play the bit of the game that you 'paid to play' and leave the modding community to those of us that can respect the time and effort the modders put in so the rest of us can enjoy.

@Mindstorm - ignore this disrespectful piece of shit.

how to repair a heli in the mission?

Sorry to bash your work Mindstorm however I pay to play not repair. I just finished about 3 months of research to learn everything I needed to know on how to get a computer built that would exceed the requirements of the games on steam I wanted to play. Unlike the biggest majority of kids that play these games that have computers in school to learn about them growing up I wasn't privy to getting this kind of knowledge as when I was in high school Bill Gates was still in elementary and the only Windows we had, needed to be opened in the Summer time to cool our farm house. To be perfectly honest the last time I grabbed the source of anything and try to upload something into it, it was proceeded by a hard slap across the face and her not talking to me for a week. In other words I'm just an old dog that likes to play good computer games and really not the least bit interested in learning how to as you may put it, Change there "Features=)".

Those aren't fuck up their features =).
I know, I know, it needs work. At the moment I don't have time for it, feel free to grab the source and fix it, and upload it to steam workshop.

OMG! This mod seems to get more f/up at you play it.
The first run was alright except I was put in the co-pilots seat to start and when that mssion was over I found myself back infront of the sign board but I was stuck in a perminute sky-dive about 3 inches off the ground. The secound run was suppose to be a troop transport into a friendly area but me and my chopper spawned on the side of a real steep hill and I found myself back in the right seat looking at the tree line just befor slaming into it, then I was back infront of the sign post again sky-diving. The third time I took a load of troops into a hot LZ and overshot my landing when 2 of the Ai soldiers decided it was OK to get out anyway, of coars I crashed moments after because I was laughing so hard do to the fact I was still 63 meters off the ground when those two desided to take a hike.

Just add a line under the _vehicles = ["Air", _onlyUnarmorred] call HELI_fnc_GetVehiclesFromConfig;
_vehicles = + ["meu_AH1Z","otherclassnames"];
_vehicles is an array with classnames you can choose of.

I will apologize in advance for needing it broken down a tad further. I'm a noob at scripting. Is this what you meant by adding the set to the classnames?

Thank you for the quick response too. I love this "mission" as it allows me to train my folks without having to shoot their rotors out ; )

Hey,
The msision should retrieve all helicopters from config files. You can always download the source here:
https://github.com/m1ndst0rm/HeliPractice.Altis
Line: 118: https://github.com/m1ndst0rm/HeliPractice.Altis/blob/master/helipractice/functions/ui/DiagMissionButtonChoose.sqf
That's where I call the function which retrieves all heli's, you could simply add the set the classnames there or add them to the array yourselve.

Mindstorm,

First, This is well done! I am introducing this into my unit training.

Second, Is there a way I can add the RHS aircraft and/or the 15th MEU AH-1Z and UH-1Y?

I only ask so that my folks can practice with the aircraft they will be flying since we do not use vanilla models. Thank ya!

Semper Fi,
Stryker

Hey Mindstorm! Thanks for this splendid training! One thing that i noticed: when doing transport training and I crash the helo once, in the further trainings troops are not spawned anymore. So you have to fly empty, and that's not sooo thrilling... Maybe rework the troop spawn triggers/code. And like Kirow mentioned, sometimes the helo-spawn is on a hill and you crash before you even have a chance to start the engine. ^^
However, a continuous landing training would also be good. Like generate a landing point around 1 km, and landing within 100m diameter, then generate again...

I for myself, I am allready happy with that.
And thanks again for this mission! <3

Nice mission, really like it, but there are few annoying bugs. For example when you spawn on the hillside or when there are no troopers. Also I want transport mission to be focused on landing, not really like to fly 3km+. 2km should be maximum I think, at least for safe missions.

Thank you, I was goig to challenges were it was there but noHelo, Thank you !!!

The sign in front of you where you spawn has a Action, if you activate that action (default is space key) it will give you a menu where you can select the mission/helicopter type and difficulty.
I will see if I can clear things up with an upate fo you!

I applogize for any issues I'm having, I'm fairly new to ARMA and there isn' a tutorial, I can enter the practis area next to a Helo pad that is empty ? any help please ? I'm trying not to be a NOOBE, but ARMA is above anything thats out there, again sorry, I just need a little mentoring

@roygreig55 instead of not contributing to the discussian maybe actually try to provide me with some information. Again the mission is working perfectly fine for me. So please provide me with log files or atleast explain excactly what happends and what you do. I really can't do anything with "NO HELICOTTERSS".

Still no helicoters, can't someone delete this ?

I'm not having anny issues with the mission. Are you guys using mods? Could someone maybe provide a rtp?

Someone stold the Helo

there is no helo cant fly mission

no heli's

Might be bugged with some new release I'll look into it later this week.

no heli's

Can't find no helis w.t.f.

Great Mission with a cool Menu.

Didn't like this one. I tried a troop extraction 1st (under fire), landed within 4m of the spot, and the troops just ignored me (tried again from a save, same thing).
Next I went for an attack mission in the Littlebird, the destination was a wooded valley, I had to find (only) 4 AI and kill them, I autohovered the Littlebird 10m of the floor in the end in desperation trying to find these AI (after spending 10 mins circling looking). I didn't care if I died (which I did), I just wanted to see them. I never did.
So, what I'm saying is, randomization is good sometimes, but other times, certain scenarios need a specific setup.
