HOME Hey guys,
I was wondering why Arma2 won't allow me to taxi with my helicopter.
like the chinooks do in this video:
Cheers

I don't think the wheels on helis work in ArmA 2, I tried to land the Seahawk like a plane but it exploded.
I don't think the flight model is sophisticated enough. You can land a moving helicopter but only at fairly low speeds; around 30 kph works okay for me. However that works fine with skids as well so I don't think the wheels are necessarily modeled as 'wheels'.
At least the simplified flight model means hover-taxiing is really easy.
For the video, you just need to put the clip ID into the youtube tags, in your case "HjHb773FCPk", i.e. [YOUTUB]HjHb773FCPk[/YOUTUB] only with the "E"s.
Could be you don't have enough posts?Originally Posted by MSG Sparrow
Think there's a minimum before you can imbed video and URL's
Maybe the modders can make the helicopter wheels behave like airplane wheels. That would fix it
And thanks "some kind of guy" the video is working now.
I think you have the wrong video posted as i couldn't see much at all. black blur far away. maybe you meant to post a different video.
Let's take this video at 0:39 then, for a good example of a taxiing helicopter.
And indeed, I'd really love taxiing helos!
INKO Simple Firing Script (Mission script)
INKO Disposable A2CO v1.3 and INKO Disposable A3 v1.1 (Addons)
Thanks for the video Inkompetent, i've to admit my vid wasn't that good.
Maybe this should be moved to the Addons forum
Would an addon be able to change the vehicle physics enough to make taxiing helicopters possible? I don't get the impression that blade pitches are simulated to a high enough degree that you'd be able to get forward motion while still keeping all wheels on the ground. i.e. either the entire heli pitches forward or none of it does.
