@Nullified My composition does something like this mod, except you have to apply it manually on a helicopter/plane: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3275777200

Is there any other mod that does similar to this? I remember using this and helos would spin violently and than crash, now they just bellow in smoke and crash in a straight line

There is a problem with this mod and "Free Fall off the Ramp". It keeps despawning the plane while on the set route. Dont know the exact cause of this, but it 100% is this mod, that causes it.

Mod works pretty well especially for the Milsim atmosphere's of flying
The ability to actually have a chance to land, and possibly get out alive while doing so instead of blowing up midair is great.
All it requires is a bit of adjusting of the addon options to the user's liking (with how some aircraft are weaker than others)

Still a tempting mod, but in the comments a lot of messages about malfunctions. It also looks like the Author abandoned the mod.

Ok after testing, it seems it only happens when i'm in first person, consistent each time, as a passenger, if i'm in FPS, i get ejected, but third person fixes it somehow
D.0.C 28 Dec, 2024 @ 8:39pm 
works great for npcs, but now it's reverse, its my character who always bails when hit, how can i stop that ?

Just to confirm what the gentlemen below me mentioned, the AI no longer stays in the aircraft when it reaches critical. The anti-AI bailing seems to have broken.

Hi Devs, first off lovely mod, works fine on most aircraft.
Short question, is there a chance you lot could have a look at this mod paired with the MH-47G mod? (The really fancy Chinooks)

It seems to work completely fine on the helicopter's physical end, entering the critical damage state and the AI stop shooting it as it goes down.... Though even with Passenger-eject turned off, at 0% or maximum G-force requirement, whenever critical damage is reached.. Crew is outright ejected midair anyways, leading to a straight death due to impact with (still 'flying' vehicle).

To confirm the issue that nerexis had, we had the same issue in my group before. What we determined was that helicopters could only be damaged if there was a crewmember in them.
In order to fix, go into the addon options for the mod and uncheck Ignore vehicles with no players in them . This completely fixed the issue for us
Teamson 8 Jul, 2024 @ 11:58am 
Perfect. Thanks for your reply!
Big Minch 8 Jul, 2024 @ 11:47am 
never had that issue teamson
Teamson 8 Jul, 2024 @ 8:42am 
Can anyone confirm @nerexis?
House 14 Apr, 2024 @ 11:59am 
Does it work?
Kahoot 14 Apr, 2024 @ 7:34am 
dead mod

This mod causes half of the weapons from mods to not do any damage to helicopters, tested with AH1Z AGM missile and VME WZ-10 AGMs.
Big Minch 7 Aug, 2023 @ 4:14pm 
@plaguelord yes it is
[FXH] PlagueLord 6 Aug, 2023 @ 3:00pm 
is it compatible with the mod No More Aircraft Bouncing?
Gazzer 16 Jul, 2023 @ 4:21am 
i find it a little stupid how this mod excludes ai aircraft by default
Big Minch 11 Jul, 2023 @ 5:12pm 
any fix for ai being deleted in helicopter while crashing/after. they just disappear
D. Sauter 16 May, 2023 @ 9:02pm 
does anyone know if this mod still works?
Willy Foo Foo 24 Nov, 2022 @ 7:37am 
Do this work for the Hatchet Framework helicopters? Im guessing not because this mod has its own damage models due to it being an advanced helicopter
rootbandit95 21 Nov, 2022 @ 8:58pm 
Does this work with OPTRE?
Cardoon 23 Oct, 2022 @ 5:39pm 
Brooo just look at the section called compatibility
[Twitch] RileyyGhost 21 Sep, 2022 @ 5:32am 
is it compatible with rhs
David 13 Sep, 2022 @ 2:48am 
@Mickey This is configurable in options.
_mickey_ 23 Jul, 2022 @ 1:01pm 
Quote "enemies won't attack a crashing aircraft, until it lands or the crew ejects/disembarks" - unfortunately looks stupid and unrealistic. It is not clear For what reason the enemy must stop his attack every time precisely at such situations. This one reason why I don't want to try this mod...
KilledJoy 12 Jul, 2022 @ 2:17am 
Please fix this ?
Ace 5 May, 2022 @ 7:52am 
This mod always makes aircraft nigh indestructible while grounded, and its effects seem to bleed over to other vehicles that it shouldn't, such as tanks.

I don't like that air vehicles can take no damage while parked on the runway. That is a perfectly valid time to destroy them with a spray of 20mm gunfire for example. Or an ATGM.
Black-Jack 7 Apr, 2022 @ 9:33am 
Mod works but I think there's a soft incompatibility with Drongo's Air Operations. I was sitting in a helicopter with my AI teammates, using Drong's "Insert" command to land us at a specific location, when we got spanked by RPGs. Now, the Pilots stayed in their seats, and the setting for them to do so was on. My AI teammates did not, and fell to their deaths. The insert function kicks them out when the helicopter we're in touches down at the LZ, and we did actually get shot down right on top of it. If that happens again, I'm going to see if I can select my teammates and hit "Stop" and see if that prevents them from falling out, or if it's just because of where we got shot down at.

I think this mod works now with vanilla only. Dam, what a shame! So many great aircraft add-ons but i guess they are not compatible.
Dead Weight 3 Feb, 2022 @ 1:44pm 
Good ways to trigger this via zeus?
Ordo 1 Feb, 2022 @ 8:26am 
Is this automatically running for compatiable air vehicles?

Wasn't mentioned in the FAQ.
Wiket 7 Dec, 2021 @ 1:04am 
Yea, just doesnt work, blows up every time gg
minhduc-dev 15 Nov, 2021 @ 5:24am

DxG6767 10 Oct, 2021 @ 5:56am 
to any one reading swap to the Arma3Legacy204 on the beta's tab to be less buggy. this fixxed it for me (it could help with other mods too). it says in the patch notes / SPOTREP #100
DxG6767 10 Oct, 2021 @ 5:19am 
it dont workey, i think its the new update (it said that it is buggy on mods). pls update
kudash 21 Sep, 2021 @ 1:49am 
I don't know why, but now mod dosen't work. Only setup this one and CBA and still nothing changes. Weird
|r.τ.α| Somm 6 Sep, 2021 @ 1:54pm 
Game = Explode

Mod = Crash
Reticuli 29 Aug, 2021 @ 3:20am 
I can't tell that this makes any difference.
龟孙你了 10 Aug, 2021 @ 8:24am 
Ace cooking aircraft has a chance to continue to explode into the sky when it hits the ground, damaging its performance.
Declan 4 Jul, 2021 @ 1:59pm 
so my issues atm is, im tesitng this to work on my server as a way to stop AA missles 1 shotting helis, i cant seem to tweek the settings to stop a AA missle just blowing up my heli
snakelegend 18 Jun, 2021 @ 12:08am 
What is a good damage threshold number for destroying aircraft with explosives? With the default 10, i tried two satchel charges and two rpg heat rounds using the CUP mod and the helicopter still survived so i couldn't complete my task. I'm just worried if i set it too low my crew and I would die from an impact when going down regardless
サンドイッチ 21 May, 2021 @ 2:43pm 
A MUST HAVE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MODS THAT YOU JUST NEED THX god i hated that you die when your helicopter crash... but now whit this mod ! thx it's as i said a must have
Decoy 21 May, 2021 @ 10:37am 
Odd question maybe, but does this work as a server mod, or do all the clients need to have it as well?
xray 15 May, 2021 @ 8:48am 
Ai still bail out of helicopters. Is this compatible with vcom and lambs?
Freestyle_Build  [author] 12 May, 2021 @ 2:13am 
@odkupiciel375, thank you! Although I will not update the mod due to a spelling mistake, I do appreciate the information.
odkupiciel375 12 May, 2021 @ 1:26am 
@Freestyle_Build u seem to have misspelled pro b ability in mod settings and in wiki settings description as in those four places (four cuz its both in section title and description) its "Pro p ability of ejection in %" - i noticed that cuz i used to write it like that as well ;)
Freestyle_Build  [author] 13 Apr, 2021 @ 1:00am 
@AMF Dusty, you can try to raise the damage threshold to make the helicopters sustain more damage in general. With some experimentiing you should be able to find the values that suit you best.
