Team, how do I bind a key to taxi forward please? The text message comes up to instruct player on what keys to use for forward and backward taxi but for me it shows and empty field for forward movement. How do i fix that please? Cheers Jas

Much appreciated

In
case "Forward": {_speed = +1.5;
Increase that number, but I don't recomend because the chopper can get really unstable and buggy, recomend to test allot.

Is it possible to increase the taxi speed, if so which phrase of the script needs to be edited?
Roque_THE_GAMER  [author] 3 Feb, 2022 @ 7:34pm 
Nope, only the standard speed.
VALEXYO 3 Feb, 2022 @ 6:07pm 
there is a way to increase rotation speed? Q/E?

No

You can edit it.

Anyway to remove the text you see in first person?

I have no keybinding for my throttle, i use my joystick. It only displays ' for reverse press W'

Roque_THE_GAMER  [author] 19 Jan, 2020 @ 7:44am 
what is the bind you use to lower the throttle (decend) of the helicopter? it should use and display that.
Maikel 19 Jan, 2020 @ 7:33am 
hi, only (w) reverse works

@Blast you can taxi with advanced flight, but it's also more difficult to fly. So this is a nice way to taxi without the bs.

Is there a way to change keybindings and taxiing speed?

how

Junior Soprano 13 Sep, 2019 @ 9:33pm 
Thank you Sir! Very useful script
Roque_THE_GAMER  [author] 13 Sep, 2019 @ 9:17pm 
You will have to create it.

Hi, can you tell me where I need to place your script in the KP liberation mission files? I can't find initPlayerLocal.sqf file in the extracted liberation mission
Aaron_Michaels 7 Aug, 2019 @ 6:24am 
You can taxi helicopters in Arma, that's why you're able to lock the brakes on the RHS choppers @Blast... I know what taxing means and it's not that difficult.
Roque_THE_GAMER  [author] 7 Jul, 2019 @ 10:52am 
You don't need it, just place it in your mission like in the description, that means the players don't need to download that.

HOW DO YOU ACSESE THE MISSON FILES

Aaron_Michaels Taxi(definition) of an aircraft) move slowly along the ground before takeoff or after landing.keywords being on the GROUND. you can't taxi Helicopters in Vanilla Arma unfortunately so with this script you can. It's aimed at realism. People generally don't fly helicopters into hangars they Taxi them. sorry man not trying to belittle you or make you feel stupid just trying to inform you so you don't sound like you are. Milsim communities love stuff like this. the closer it gets to real life the better, thats why they aren't milsimming BF5 and COD.

It's not hard to air-taxi a heli but 1). It's more realistic this way and 2). a lot better for helicopters that are tall and can BARELY make it out of hangars; including the Kajman.
Aaron_Michaels 24 Jun, 2019 @ 8:08am 
I can't believe a script like this is so popular. It's not hard to Taxi a helicopter.

Nice work on the script but come on xD

@Zoldorf I would suck your dick if I could, but also I should go mess around with AFM a bit more then.
Zoldorf Da Orknerd 23 Jun, 2019 @ 1:14pm 
@Rogue_THE_GAMER I'm sorry if you took it that way, i was just pointing out a guy being wrong, i myself might actually use it at some point, since i do use normal flight model from time to time.
Viper1Zero 23 Jun, 2019 @ 10:25am 
Well done, man!
Roque_THE_GAMER  [author] 23 Jun, 2019 @ 9:59am 
No, only for players.
PrettyTAF 23 Jun, 2019 @ 8:15am 
Does it work for AI? during Eden editing, Like i can script the AI to taxi the heli to give a more dynamic airfield feel.
SuppportGuyOne 23 Jun, 2019 @ 6:20am 
even easer than the enhanced helicopter system
Roque_THE_GAMER  [author] 23 Jun, 2019 @ 5:30am 
@Zoldorf Da Orknerd Is useless for pro pilots but useful for the majority of non advanced flight model players, and that does not hurt the "pro pilots" anyway, its just helps the average player
Lil Kruchi 23 Jun, 2019 @ 12:53am 
Thats actually useful
Zoldorf Da Orknerd 23 Jun, 2019 @ 12:52am 
@Onisarius It is completely useless for pro pilots, since they all use advanced flight model, where you can turn the brakes for the landing wheels off, and then roll as much as they please, i would upload a video of me doing it, but it's such a simple thing you can even go try it out yourself, grab any heli with wheels, turn on advanced flight model in game options, wait for the helicopters RPM to rise, raise the "throttle" to about 10-20%, turn off brakes, push the heli forward slightly, and now you are rolling.
Kelev 23 Jun, 2019 @ 12:52am 
Nice!
KooLade 22 Jun, 2019 @ 11:41pm 
can u use the throttle while the script is active to move forward or is the speed constant?
diveyez 22 Jun, 2019 @ 11:24pm 
nice one bro
Onisarius 22 Jun, 2019 @ 10:10pm 
@Pablo Escobar You clearly haven't watched the video or played Arma. Auto-hover is used to maintain altitude and keep you centered in the air, this script allows you to move the helicopter on the ground like it is driving on wheels, or "taxiing" as it is known. This allow you to park a helicopter in a tight space or move the helicopter for a better takeoff position all while still on the ground. If you can show me video of someone taxiing a helicopter without a script in Arma 3 i'll suck your dick.
Roque_THE_GAMER  [author] 22 Jun, 2019 @ 6:39pm 
Valeu!
NOFACE SPECTRO 1911 22 Jun, 2019 @ 6:08pm 
show, mto foda parabéns pelo trabalho!!!!
Pineapple 22 Jun, 2019 @ 2:59pm 
the equivalent of auto-hover, usless for pro heli pilots, looks smooth tho
