Friendly units don't spawn? Can't really do anything. I get to the mission, spawn a helicopter and the objectives keep glitching out.

The Best mission for helicopter practice, CONGRATULATIONS is a great job!! vspike

I can't pick up the troops no-one there, keeps saying mission aborted i was 2 meters away at the yellow way marker on the ground never acknowledged my landings for troops to get in. Or am I missing something.

How are you supposed to be able to identify friendlies and enemies during a cas mission?

hope you make tanoa version

Can I host this on a server for mutliplayer with me and my bud? He wants to be my door gunner; I'm newer to Arma so if this answer is obvious sorry for the inconvenience

I'm having trouble switching my pylon armament! The f2 menu only replenishes what's on the helicopter. I spawned my own in with zues and changed it, but now I have a dead slot where for example m260 hydras are showing up when I have m261's equipped. Aside from that I've had a few small bugs but I assume that's on my end because I'm running 100+ mods, like some enemies in the AO have AA launchers even though it's not selected. All in all this map has helped me get back into flying with a joystick again! Great practice for those who want all their training in one spot!

This is great, thanks

AI engine timestamping freezes the game terribly every time it takes place. I wish I could enjoy it but it really ruins my gameplay.

Hands down the best heli training scenario available on the workshop

Very good, polished and bug free dynamic helicopter scenario. Can you make a similar one but focused on attack helicopters with missons like air patrol, close air support, and search and destroy ? that would be perfect...

Also I hope I can get a co-pilot to fly together.

If you're tired of being yelled at on MP servers because you suck at flying, have no fear. This is the best mission to get better at flying helicopters. Even being the seasoned pilot I am on Arma, I still will do this mission. Really helps from the boredom of flying on editor by yourself. Only suggestion is that hopefully we can get a way to spawn AI into our squad. other than that keep up the good work. 9/10

Random frame rate drops, especially after offloading infantry, make this way more difficult than it otherwise would be.

Game keeps freezing after a couple of inserts.

I would love to have this on other maps as well, is there any chance of porting it over?

Great mission for heli practice. The only issue is that your own people start shooting at you if you crash during an insertion once. A respawn doesn't seem to fix it either.

Still in love with this mission! Absolutely awesome to practice AFM in this.
If you're still working on this here's a feature I would love to have included:
An option to practice the same LZ (in the same city) over and over before moving on to the next LZ when ready. The way it is right now I feel you're flying into the AO kinda blind until you get close enough to see the designated LZ. Often you, as the pilot, would normally have an idea of what LZ you're aiming for. A simple way to "fix" this would be to be able to fly to the same LZ several times over. This would also make it possible to perfect that LZ - finding the right angles, approach, speed etc.

Keep up the great work, man!

Thats actually a good suggestion! Thanks! I've been pondering getting back to work on this. I'll add it to the list.

First off; great Scenario, it's actually a better infantry/close quarters/city clearing mission than anything I've seen. The way the ai spawn in away from you once you've cleared an area makes it very playable that way. You could literally spend all day clearing a city if you want, unless you accidentally abort the mission, which is why I wanted to comment here...

Is it possible to remove the "Abort Mission" option from the action menu?

I've prematurely ended too many missions, by accidentally hitting the "Abort Mission" option while trying to open a door or get in or out of a heli. or anything else I'd normally use that menu for.

If I want to abort the mission I can just hit the escape key and then abort there, no need for the option in the action menu, it's really just annoying being there.

Heya. It is unlikely because I have limited time... when I do have time, I've been lazy and playing games. :D

@forsaken
Would it be possible to have a Coop version of this mission or would it be a lot of work for you?

I played a quick session today, with around 10 mods enabled (as usual), everything works like a charm, well apart from the rather low fps in the fighting zone (50+ AI units) but that's normal.

I think an update might have Broken this mission, when I choose Insertions the game locks up with heavy lag. Anyone lse getting this?

Amazing scenario for practicing landing! The troop insertion practice is kinda of pointless if you've been doing the landing practice though.

Crashes once clicking continue on the map.

just crashes on startup for me, I have cba running. :(

Look what I'm working on! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1388846623

Just tried with CBA, works now.

I really need to get back to this...

Did you activate CBA?

whenever i do an insertion mission and spawn a heli it keeps saying ground elements have been overrun over and over.

Keeps looping "Be advised we have lost contact with ground element" and then despawning before I can even make the first pick up

64, I think it was JSRS causing it, turned off everything other than CBA allowed me in. Or if having both CUP and RHS was just pushing the script you use to pull through all the aircraft too much

Do you get it running 32 bit? I've gotten bad module playing KOTH since the tanks update.

I get a bad module info error any time I try to load up this

Awesome scenario! Love how you can customize the heck out of it in-game with the laptops.

If I recall correctly, @Little Egg, you're a excellent pilot who has given me some Grade A inserts into hot LZ's. Thanks for the rate up, favorite, and invite--much appreciated!

On another note, I need to get back to work on this... I feel like I'm leaving everyone hanging here. There are certainly a fair number of improvements that can be made to the mission. Time (and will) has been sparse lately. I'll get back on it, I promise!

Thank you! it is by far the best helicopter mission i have ever played! absolutely amazing! Great work! .."rated up" and "favorited" cheers! :D

make the art of a jet engine pls

This is a really great mission! Just what I needed!

Great mission

Agreed! I forgot to say how amazing this really is.. Really well made. Keep it up!

Can confirm that friendlies at base begin shooting you after you crash with friendlies aboard :)
This is an incredible mission. If I could play this in multi-player, I would maybe never play anything else co-op. Awesome job!

You shouldn't be shot by friendlies at base. I'm using a HandleRating event handler to deal with this issue. I'm very curious why this isn't happening. Will look into it...

In regards to the additional helicopters mod causing issues... this mission should work just fine with it. I've verified that it works fine with mods such as CUP, RHS, and MELB.

It was my fault. Tried using some additional helicopter mod and it interfered with your mission. Using only CBA_A3 and your mission it works perfect. But if you crash during an insertion mission and retry the friendlies at base start shooting you. That intentional? :D

I cant duplicate this. Was your computer struggling? How many AI did you have spawned? Will it work at mission start if you drop a grenade at your feet?

How do you make the single player respawn system work? Without having to restart/load the entire mission.. If I die I get the option to restart, load or abort even though I see the respawn system created by you on screen..

Haha, that's hilarious! I'm hoping to find some time to work on this and make it a bit better from the suggestions I've gotten so far along with making it dummy proof for the folks who forget to enable CBA, thereby breaking the mission.

I appreciate the comments!

Fantastic training mission, great job all the way! This is a MUST have for many King of the Hill players which crash with helis all over the place. Practice here, get some piloting and quick landing under pressure skills = less frustration and angry teammates in game :D

Btw, I started the game with IFA3 mod enabled by accident, made my first drop into the zone, came back to base, boom! German World War 2 soldiers sitting in my heli, lmao! Such an epic moment I couldn't stop laughing xD

Hey man, I have a suggestion, could you make something like this for fixed wing aircraft? Also, drones in this mission would be nice :)
