How do i spawn helicopter in single player offline mod?
I saw someone wrote they added a very small script but they didn't say what file they put the script in to get the helicopters to work in single playter offline mode. All i'm looking for is to get the helicopters to spawn in single player offline mode Does anyone know how to do this? Please?

No one can tell me??? really? All i'm asking for is the name of the file of where i should put this to get single player to spawn a heli
I was told this worked for someone:
{
"VehicleName": "ExpansionUh1h",
"DisplayName": "ExpansionUh1h",
"Parts": [
"ExpansionHelicopterBattery",
"ExpansionHydraulicHoses",
"ExpansionigniterPlug",
"HeadlightH7"
]
}

It spawned a heli but i dont see what file i havent found which one i need to add this to to get a vehicle to spawn. Someone has to know PLEASE???

Thanks for nothing! I figured it out i asked at a different site and they explained it like this:
Well, it's not just one file, it's multiple cfg***.xml files in your mission folder.
The types file defines the pieces of the car (like the car itself, its doors, wheels, etc) and then other XML files define where and if they spawn.
So, to add a vehicle, its components would have to be defined in the types file,
an event would have to exist to spawn it and locations would have to be defined to indicate where to spawn it.



3 files-

Types-
Event-
Locations-

I posted this to hopefully help anyone who like me wanted to spawn a helicopter in single player offline! So far i have not been able to get it to work.Only on multiplayer will the helicopters spawn not sure why

Well i did as suggested but nothing spawns in offline mode except the 4 vehicles that have always been able to spawn since version 1.05 came out! Since then offline hasn't changed at all! Same 4 vehicles NO AIRCRAFT AT ALL! And no new items or changes that have taken place in the online version. I wonder if they will update the offline part so it plays just like online for all us single players that prefer PVE.

They need to make a better working offline program the one they have now is shoddy at best! most players i know cant do anything like me at least the offline mode before expansion that worked great! The new expansion it's like they never wrote code before very disappointed i use the old one at least it works! new one no aircraft nothing can spawn! most times it dont even work!

Looks like playing ONLINE is GREAT!!!!! Offline???? They really need to redo and fix the offline program the old one worked GREAT!!!! The new one they made for the expansion it's not worth the time to even download it! I personally spent months trying to get it to work and even when i barely got it working as soon as i tried to use the "Y" key the whole game crashed! Sorry but in my opinion GARBAGE! There was not this much problems with the original i think they should of just expanded the original to include the expansion version! I cant spawn aircraft or boats but at least it's stable and it works compared to the so called new version that crashes even if you somehow get it to work it'snot stable at all! no thanks! I've lost interest in offline like most of the people i know because of this what a shame! i'm just glad online version works so great and is better then when dayz first started this game just gets better with time too bad the offline version has been left behind!

Matrix..... what expansion do u use?Got a link please? New one never loads on my lan server..... have you tried the other spawn items and searched in there for heli?

yes i tried everything ive spent close to 4 months on this subject as far as i'm concerned the new offline expansion is a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME!!! NON WORKING GARBAGE! I use the older one at least i can spawn vehicles and gear and weapons! I just can spawn any boats or aircraft/helicopters i feel like im missing half the game or that it hasnt changed since version 1.05 came out! Online play is great i can use aircraft, heli's and boats even then they are somewhat buggy sometimes. The dev's should really sit down and fix the single player offline mode i'm not alone in this many have the same issue as me but dont bother to write as they know it wont change a thing but i think if enough of us come forward they may do something about this broken mess.

Matrix..... You are a real source of motivation....

If i was they would of fixed the issue already but thanks! I decided to just play without any aircraft in offline mode. I've spent too many months on this failed project. The dev's refuse to support offline mode instead it's other players that write the programs that let some players use aircraft in offline mode so because it don't work for me i don't really have anywhere to turn to if i want to use aircraft then i'll have to play online and pray someone doesnt decide to shoot down my very expensive and time consuming helicopter!
