Any update on the helicopter radar and TGP fix? This mod is so essential I almost can't play without it anymore
NURD 5 Jul @ 2:36pm 
would be nice if this was fixed. need to operate the radar.
Specter 25 Jun @ 3:23pm 
can confirm that radar control doesn't work in either the 26 or 55
Specter 19 Jun @ 2:56pm 
also would it be possible to have a HUD status indicator and or indicator light somewhere obvious in the cockpit to let us know at a glance if we're in zoom mode or engine/radar mode?

Thanks, this is a great mod and I'm happy to say I was it's first sub less than 5 min after release lol. been using it since the very beginning and I consider it a staple mod! cheers!
Specter 19 Jun @ 2:54pm 
I can confirm that radar slewing is not working in the 26, at least as of when I discovered so last night. it might have also not worked in the 55, but I don't remember for sure. I'll test this evening and report back here what I find

I'm working on heli compat right now, for both the dragonfly and the modded one. I'll try to identify that bug and patch it with the heli compat update. I have a feeling I know the culprit.

I've been having problems with the helicopter MFD head tracking not working sometimes. Not sure if this mod is the cause but it's the only one that touches this stuff afaik. Someone posted the same issue on the utility button mod but I don't have that one. Anyone else experiencing this?

It has come to my attention that I may have accidentally disabled radar slewing on the F/A-26B. I'm looking into it soon.
GGQQ 13 May @ 12:31am 
It should be default lol,
Nice.

Alright guys, new update. I've fixed the bug that Laniakea was talking about with the AI AV-42C's. Let me know if it continues. I've also disabled the thumbstick click on vehicles like the F/A-26B and others that don't have VTOL capability, since there's nothing else bound.
Let me know if there's any more issues.
Laniakea 8 May @ 10:56am 
@octxly I know, I'm a software developer too, I know that feeling, lol. Keep up the great work, cheers.

So after further investigation...I am really stumped. For me, whenever the mod is active, the AV-42Cs in the Open Water mission seem to take off into the stratosphere, never able to transition to forward flight. Even disabling all of the mod's functionality doesn't make a difference. I'll try to recreate the bug again, but I have no idea
octxly  [author] 22 Apr @ 2:34pm 
I seem to be overriding the AI's controls lmao. I'll push out a patch soon
Laniakea 22 Apr @ 12:15pm 
@octxly After some tests, I can confirm that if I click the thumbstick in the middle of the mission, that indeed changes the behavior of the AI AV-42. It feels like when ever the AI is struggling, I just need to click the thumbstick once to make them happy, after a while they start to wobble again I just need to click the thumb one more time to let them happy. But I can't monitoring them all the time over the entire mission.
octxly  [author] 21 Apr @ 4:30pm 
@Laniakea, does it change if you click the thumbstick?
I think I may have accidentally overrode the AI's flight controls instead of just the player's.
octxly  [author] 21 Apr @ 3:20pm 
I'm looking into that now.
Laniakea 21 Apr @ 2:32pm 
In missions the NPC controlled AV-42C got f*cked by this mod. If you play AV-42C single player Islands mission "Open Water", the other two AV-42C controled by computer are flying like crazy and will never trigger the next mission objective, making the mission not doable, must disable this mod to fix.
EA man 13 Apr @ 7:25pm 
is it possible to make this work with the s-cam, like the camcorder?
TheBeardx 31 Mar @ 1:05pm 
why is this not base game lol
TheDreamer 9 Mar @ 7:55pm 
Thanks for the toggle!
LaKapuctik 6 Mar @ 10:43pm 
@octxly, could you please enable the jamming feature on the F-45 to the Y button?
313/NiX 6 Mar @ 3:04pm 
Is chaff/flare button able to be modded to always work regardless of you holding onto the throttle?
octxly  [author] 5 Mar @ 8:20pm 
Alright, alternate thumbstick fingerings have now been moved to a toggle. Should help VTOL players.
octxly  [author] 25 Feb @ 10:12am 
I'm investigating better configs and settings right now, will add some options requested sometime hopefully soon.

@Dauby09 +
Dauby09 25 Feb @ 8:38am 
I agree with @Curlain that radar should stay elevation as the default, at least in slew mode, range zoom is less important. Other than that the mod is great.
LaKapuctik 25 Feb @ 5:25am 
@octxly you wrote earlier that you are working on something. What is it?
LaKapuctik 25 Feb @ 12:38am 
:)
octxly  [author] 24 Feb @ 7:04pm 
AV-42C and AH-94 bugs have been patched
LaKapuctik 24 Feb @ 1:35pm 
I found another bug: the radar tilt via the stick doesn't work for the co-pilot of the AH-94.
octxly  [author] 23 Feb @ 8:32am 
Thanks for all of the feedback, I'm taking the feedback into consideration
LaKapuctik 23 Feb @ 4:08am 
@octxly For some reason, the AV-42 zoom is very fast and it is difficult to play with it :(
TheDreamer 22 Feb @ 3:56pm 
I didn't know how much I was missing this feature, thank you. Would it be possible to set throttle stick click to a toggle between zoom and engine tilt? Holding the stick down while tilting the engine doesn't feel great
Culain 22 Feb @ 1:40pm 
regarding the radar slewing: you can zoom in and out in the radar view by moving the cursor to the top and bottom already. so we dont really need the left stick to zoom in and out here. it can still be used for slewing the radar.
However changing it to hold stick to slew is still consistent with the rest of the mod.
LaKapuctik 19 Feb @ 7:51am 
And what exactly or is it a surprise?
octxly  [author] 19 Feb @ 7:41am 
I'm already working on something like that right now.
LaKapuctik 19 Feb @ 7:12am 
For example GPS-send, and GPS-acquire when hold
LaKapuctik 19 Feb @ 7:09am 
Can you make a separate mod that prescribes a left free button for something useful?
Bans 19 Feb @ 5:53am 
With a mod like this....how am I supposed to play Vanilla VTOL?!
octxly  [author] 18 Feb @ 5:23pm 
Alright, RADAR slewing is now controlled via thumbstick hold.
octxly  [author] 18 Feb @ 4:20pm 
Whoops, I'll get on that asap.
Kasper 18 Feb @ 3:58pm 
Love this mod except it prevents you from changing radar elevation
240 18 Feb @ 3:13pm 
you beautiful human being thank you so fucking much

you are so goated
Mho 16 Feb @ 4:15pm 
i cant upvote cause i got vac ban, but man, this mod is goated fr !:steamthumbsup:
octxly  [author] 16 Feb @ 2:38pm 
Alright, config options have been added, go nuts.
Instructions in the description.
CRXW 16 Feb @ 8:16am 
would love to have the zoom to be on thumbstick down at least in the F45 and AV42, or have an option in the OPTS tab in MFD to change that
Pumpkin Pie <3 16 Feb @ 4:55am 
goated mod - would it be possible to change the thumbstick down hold to the unused button (X i think?)
