I've been messing with this problem for years - gradually decelerating helicopters via scripts on the approach to an LZ - to minimize the popup - thanks for your efforts - looking forward to trying this.

I've been away from ArmA for a while, but every once in a while I browse the workshop and I was happy to see this mod. I was a UH-60 crew chief in the Army and it always bothered me that they helicopters would climb like that while decelerating for a landing. This mod is going to make me reinstall ArmA again. Thanks!

Nice. This has always been one of the most frustrating aspects of creating singleplayer scenarios for myself in editor, because the AI pilots are so trash lol

Modded helicopters should work, yes.

Is this compatible with factions that add new heli's? Looks great, thank you!
