I love it! Are you going to create a german MH-53 as well?

BLUFOR -> GAC AIR -> MH-53E(USMC)
BLUFOR -> GAC AIR -> MH-53E(USN)
BLUFOR -> GAC AIR -> MH-53E(USAF DG camo)
BLUFOR -> GAC AIR -> MH-53E(USAF LG camo)

I don't like this handling of adding new faction classes Why didn't you add it under faction US Airforce? Please check this thread. You'll see what I mean then Back in OFP times it was a horrible pain to have thousands of new vehicles classes (instead of faction classes). I hope you're not taking this as blaming, I really like this addon!

[tom_48_97]

I've made some tests, and...
... should be better with a sound for engine start.
... need some improvements on the glass texture when damaged, BTW, there is a little blinking.
... Don't know how to correct, but when you fire on it, the hit point is like when you fire on ground (I don't know how to express it correctly in English, sorry).

For the rest, as I've already said, it looks really nice, so good job

Edit: love tex_neta.pac
Edit²: There is a strong problem of sight with the rear gunner, the crosshair position have nothing to see with the impact result.
Also, it could be nice to remove the "open cargo" action when you're not on chopper cause the switch is inside.

About the script, for gears, you can make one script, or make some functions (if you need help, tell me) :

PHP Code:

_unit = _this select 0;
_state = _this select 1;
_state = toUpper (_state);

_plane vehicleradio "gear";
if (_state == "UP") then {
    _plane animate ["gearF", 0.9];
    _plane animate ["gearR", 0.8];
    sleep  2;
    _plane animate ["door_f1", 0]
    _plane animate ["door_f2", 0];
    exit;
};

if (_state == "DOWN") then {
    _plane animate ["door_f1", 1]
    sleep 1;
    _plane animate ["door_f2", 1];
    _plane animate ["gearF", 0];
    _plane animate ["gearR", 0];
    exit;
};

When I used default faction and named my helo like "gac_USMC_MH53E" ,
and overlap cursor ,ARMA2 displays include "gac" . So I used original faction.
But I expect to solve this : use displayname short.
I think if serious bug found this addon and solved faction problem ,I'll update with correct faction.

Thank you for your testing.
I know about fired effect .I didn't use surfaceInfo. But it can fix it.Maybe next release.
About script, I don't know what you mean. Do you mean I should unify gear script to one file?

I forgot delete tex_neta.pac lol
please turn a blind eye

Very much appreciated.

You're welcome, always a pleasure to test new addons well made.
About scripts, yes, more, SQF allows a script handler, that should be usefull with animations phases.

For the texture, no, I'm gonna to reveal to all the community who you are
