Helis

[Guest King]

You said helis would be making their way back to Chernarus, still true? Any ETA?

[Diggy 0]

It would be pointless to add them back in unchanged, so as far as I have heard they aren't coming back until then. They give whoever has them way too much power. I think once they are tweaked they will be in.

[Rick 24]

There have been a lot of threads on this subject. On every one I have seen, the devs have said in a recent patch, they will be re-added back in with significant changes to them less overpowered. With all the TP commotion, it probably was a slight set-back to helis, so I would be patient.

This is correct. I believe there will also be less helis on the map however that is unconfirmed and still under discussion.

Isn't it nice how it is now though? Sure it's tons of fun to fly, but I like the calm skies like we have now. Especially now that we have added plenty of new vehicles and spawn points for them.

If we re-add helicopters I think that some restrictions should be added, like no 3rd person view in them, extensive amount of parts will be required to fix them or only whitelisted pilot characters will be able to fly them. Nothing is decided yet, we'll see how things develop in the coming weeks/months.

For now, you can get a ride with CTC or UEF when they are around and follow them on scavenging quests now and then.

Meh. I like having no helicopters. It levels the playing field significantly. Though I do miss them.

I agree with Rolle, when they were still in whoever had one of them juat had to fly along the borders of the map and found at least 2 vehicles,no matter how good they are hidden, they are just too op.

If this gets set in then you are my angel Rolle.

[Muntz 29]

only whitelisted pilot characters will be able to fly them.

I read this and wat'd.

Then I thought about it. It is actually a freaking awesome idea. Soooooo many implications. I like. I like a lot. +1000.

[Mikachu 37]

As Rolle said, we have many ideas (some more set in stone than others).

Rest assured they are actively being worked on and will make a return shortly, they will be VERY different however.

First I didn't like the idea of them removing helicopters but after a while I realised that flying planes is much more fun and more of a challenge. Maybe add some more types of airplanes instead? Cessna pliz

[Rick 24]

Ya whitelisted pilots sounds like a better Idea. Honestly, how does a random RP character know how to fly a helicopter? Sure, there will be a handful, but not nearly to the extent that actually use them (of which I myself am guilty of).

1st person, yes.

Whitelisted pilot characters - Awh hell no, they're there for anyone to take if they have the means to.

Not everyone should be capable of flying a helicopter though.

Only bycicle should be open for all. Cars, planes, helicopters and even boats should be whitelist license only. Or would that take all the fun away? Yes. Plz, its a game. Lets keep it fun for everyone.

Boat Controles

Car Controles

Heli Controles

Imagin if someoen would come up to you and sed 'Hey sweety how about you fly this deathtrap with a million buttons over there will ya'

White Listed Pilots.

Makes mroe sense cause normal people cant fly those machines at all without a ton of training.

Also is it possible to disable autpilot cause no decent pilot will use it if the heli's are back.

Add these instead of helicopters?

[Misty 107]

I get your point, but in that case should'nt there be different kinds of pilot licenses?

Some civies could have a helicopter pilot license, sure, but if that gives them knowledge how to control+fly a huey or Mi-17.. I doubt it.

Well the whitelisted pilots sounds a nice addition. People would have to have characters who had a background in aviation. But then again that would be abused since there is no enforcement on character backgrounds and it would end up in someone having a capability to always fly choppers even if they played a character who has no experience on it. Since character backgrounds aren't enforced having whitelisted pilots would be make no sense RP wise.

Add more civilian planes and choppers and 1st person only.
