Around September 8th 2023, I found that I can acquire targets pressing "T", but I am unable to lock onto the target with ATGM or other missiles, "other online players are not affected". Googled problem, this has happened to many without any apparent resolution. One thing I noticed is when I fire the missile without lock it shoots upward toward the sky, normaly I recall it would fire toward crosshair. I will focus on the Kayman and its ATG Missiles for this example. The error occurs both Online and in the Editor. Video is from testing in Editor, I have set up a few enemy vehicles North of Main Airfield "Altis". I jump in the chopper, Toggle Radar ON and Manual Fire I switch to ATG Take off and FP ZOOM, you can see the targets appear as dots on the HUD. I acquire the target by pressing "T", a box with corners appears around target. I dont get "LOCKING ON" or LOCKED ON" text or Diamond over box. The Targets Vehicles are on a hill unobstructed and appear on Radar as Solid White Squares. I mess mashing T and R while panning over targets etc.. My attempts to resolve: September 8th 1. create new profile, still not working. 2. I deleted my 2 Arma profile folders in Documents, "Arma 3" & "Other Profiles". still not working. 3. I uninstalled Arma from Steam and performed a reinstall 140GB. The next morning the same thing. NOTE: All of my keys are default Arma3, on previous initial install I choose Apex Keybinds, but missile lock worked with this. After reinstall I did not get the normal initial setup like choose keyboard layout etc All my keys remain the same but had to re-add my joystick. September 9th 1. I did a full wipe of Steam and all games. 2. I reinstalled Steam and Arma3 "VANILA" no mods. still no good. 3. Did a test in offline Editor and still same problem. NO MODS, CLEAN INSTALL Overnight I DL all the MODS etc.. This is a link to a Youtube Video reproducing the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb9NTrSpMxA&ab_channel=Decoy%27sIngamemoments This is the exact youtube Title if you dont want to click on the link and search for it yourself.

Helicopter move getPos - sitting still
Dj Rolnik posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey guys, I am in need of a clever explanation of what I'm seeing and a helpful hand with fixing it. I have created an action that calls for a chopper from a nearby location and makes it move and land in a different location. The script works locally without issues. The script works in multiplayer when called using the Zeus code module option. The script does not work when called by addAction (either attached to a player or a static object). By "does not work" I mean the helicopter does receive the cargo (which means it is recognised) but the chopper just sits there forever. ["Land_PaperBox_01_small_closed_brown_IDAP_F", helicopter1] call ace_cargo_fnc_addCargoItem; ["Land_PaperBox_01_small_closed_brown_IDAP_F", helicopter1] call ace_cargo_fnc_addCargoItem; ["Land_PaperBox_01_small_closed_brown_IDAP_F", helicopter1] call ace_cargo_fnc_addCargoItem; ["Land_PaperBox_01_small_closed_brown_IDAP_F", helicopter1] call ace_cargo_fnc_addCargoItem; hint "Friendly chopper incoming"; helicopter1 move (getPos heli_landing_pad); sleep 15; while { ( (alive helicopter1) && !(unitReady helicopter1) ) } do { sleep 1; }; if (alive helicopter1) then { helicopter1 land "LAND"; while { ( (alive helicopter1) && !(unitReady helicopter1) ) } do { helicopter1 engineOn false; }; }; For the love of me, I cannot understand why it keeps happening. I even called the helicopter1 move part individually from the zeus interface and it did work. Thanks a lot, Adam -
Two Helis takeoff after loaded, not working on Dedicated Server
ClimberBill posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
I know that this has been asked before and I have tried everything that I found. My problem is that I'm not using waypoints, I'm using the unitplay for my flight path. I don't want to use a radio activation. I want to use the Condition field of a trigger or task. This is the code I have in Condition. {_x in H1} count (units group player) == {alive _x} count (units group player); This works when testing in editor both in SP & MP, but does not work on the dedicated server. What happens is the takeoff without waiting to be loaded. I have also tried.... if (isServer) then { {_x in H1} count (units group player) == {alive _x} count (units group player); }; When using the (isServer) they don't take off but when I get on the chopper it does not activate. Let me also add that I"m using two choppers and need to wait till both choppers are loaded before they can takeoff. For this I have a trigger for each chopper with the above code. Then I have another trigger with this code in the Condition... triggerActivated H1Loaded && triggerActivated H2Loaded && triggerActivated EngineStart; The EngineStart trigger is activated as the players move to the chopper. I then have two more triggers for the sqf's that have the flight path info. Again this all works in SP & MP it the editor but DOES NOT work on the dedicated server. Any help would be great, thanks in advance. -
[SP/COOP] In Hindsight - A helicopter campaign (powered by RHS)
kibyde posted a topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS
This campaign is for people who like flying helicopters in ArmA3. Most missions focus on the Mil Mi-24 Hind because of its versatilty. The campaign fully supports the Advanced Flight Model. The story is about a former military pilot and if the mission is played solo this character should be chosen. The first season of the campaign allows for up to 2 player to play COOP as pilot and gunner, later missions will allow more people in several helicopters. All missions are still BETA and the COOP is somewhat untested. Any constructive feedback is appreciated. The campaign includes a ton of references to other games, movies and TV-shows often with some silly humour. Hope you are not easily offended. Thanks -RHS team -CUP team -Grumpy Old Man for his awesome loadout script -ALIAS for his roadflare script -Project Opfor team -all the modders, scripters, mission builders etc. who make this community great since OFP days.

carrier Landing AI Helicopter on Carrier
QuiveringT posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Three AI helicopters will not land on the USS Freedom if I give them a waypoint to land on the deck. Each waypoint is to a different location on the flight deck, and each waypoint is in line with the flight deck. If I change the waypoints to a 'get out' waypoint, one helicopter will successfully land and the other two will nervously watch, then fly back to the nearest beach to land. There are planes and such on the deck, but more than enough space for multiple pilots to land. I realize that the AI is their own breed of unintelligence, but I am enthusing any options that simply get them to land on the carrier, like setting their fuel to 0 when the get close or something like that (for the record, I have not gotten this option to work). -
Requesting BIS_fnc_UnitPlay on dedicated servers
Sacha 'Voodoo' Oropeza posted a topic in ARMA 3 - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Hello everyone, I don't know if it's the appropriate place to post but anyway... Does BIS have already considered making BIS_fnc_UnitPlay function to work on dedicated servers ? As a milsim organization, we'd love to see this function fully working on dedicated servers since the AI is terrible regarding chopper insertion/extraction procedures. This provides a great immersion and realism feature. Thanks !- 2 replies

Helicopter Pilots Needed in the Air Combat Command
robert31178 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - SQUADS AND FANPAGES
http:// The Air Combat Command and 7th Special Forces Group are looking for mature helicopter pilots for co-op action. Focus will be on transport & logistic type missions and CSAR in the event of downed aircraft. CAS missions in attack helicopters may come further down the road provided we have the pilots to support missions of that nature, but for now strictly T&L / CSAR. Requirements as follows: - Legal copy of Arma 3 - TS3 with working mic set up for "push to talk" - Must not be afraid of mods - we host our own repository on Arma3Synch with around 30G worth of mods. - Skilled or trainable - Mature......I cannot stress this enough. There will be no no one under 18 accepted for flying, and there is absolutely a maturity limit. Training for pilots: - BCT, which is really a formal way of saying "we want to make sure you can survive on the ground, use ACE advanced medical, and won't frag anyone". - Basic flight TRA designed to see how you do, then tailor it to areas you need help in the most. Members have two weeks to complete both parts of Basic or will be dropped from our roster. Additionally, once basic flight has been wrapped up you will be working closely with me on more advanced type stuff in transports. There will be some copilot time, and once trained up we will be switching duties on and off, PAC (pilot at controls) one mission, PIC (Pilot In Command) the next. Come to comms and ask for Aaron, Blur, Spencer, or Gunfighter. Lastly, this is not a recruiting pitch for the 7th, however, the below TS addy will get you to them!! TS3: ts.7thsfg.us ACC Website: http://aircombatcommand.us/ I can also be reached here via PM and on steam: [ACC] Gunfighter - http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198217536800/ Looking forward to hearing from you!! ~S -
Spawn a helicopter with a pilot
WurschtBanane posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
I want a helicopter to spawn with crew and pick me and my squadmates up which activates by trigger. It would be cool too if you told me how to spawn an aa squad simultaniously so that he gets shot down. -
Precise chopper flyInHeight at low altitudes ?
Tajin posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
It seems that flyInHeight values below ~10 just send the chopper in a low hover without allowing fine control. Has anyone found a way around that? I'm considering to run a setvelocity loop to enforce the altitude but I'd prefer to use a cleaner solution than that. Background: I have a MH6 manned with Gendarmerie that I want to fly a search pattern at treetop level. The cops are sitting on the siderails with their guns/flashlights, looking for targets. I looks pretty nice at night but the effect is somewhat lost if they fly too high (or crash)- 5 replies
