Part of AI Group keeps getting out of plane
KSK_Nico posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
I have made Mission with a y-32 VTOL taking off from an airfield far away from combat. This plane has 2 groups set to safe in it: One with the pilot and the co-pilot and the other one only filled para troopers sitting in the cargo room. But now when I start the mission the para trooper leader orders 8 of them to leave the plane and then orders 3 of them to get back in again (the plane has taken off already) leaving 5 outside. Something similair occurd in my mission with filled up trucks driving in a convoy. Is this a known issue or is it because the vehicle is fully loaded and therefor trying to get rid of some passengers :). I appreciate any help. Nico -
Greetings. I'm very new to modding, but recently I've started on adding vehicles, moving stuff around and etc. I've stumbled onto a problem with the Y-32 Xi'an Infantry Transport VTOL. I downloaded another mod which has successfully moved a vehicle from Independent to Blufor AND has a texture applied to it when you spawn it in. What I'm trying to do is basically the same. I want to copy the Y-32, put it into Bluefor and have a custom texture go on it. Inside my mod folder: Inside my mod/data folder: config.cpp script: #define true 1 #define false 0 class CfgPatches { class RTAF_Vehicle { units[] = {RTAF_Vehicle}; weapons[] = {}; requiredAddons[] = {}; }; }; class CfgEditorCategories { class RTAF_Class { displayName = "Shield"; }; }; class cfgVehicles { class O_T_VTOL_02_infantry_F { scope = 2; displayName = "Shield Y-32"; faction = "BLU_F"; vehicleClass = "Air"; editorCategory = RTAF_Class; Side = 1; crew = "B_crew_f"; hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\Y32_VTOL\data\vtol_01_ext01_shield_co.paa","\Y32_VTOL\data\vtol_01_ext02_shield_co.paa","\Y32_VTOL\data\vtol_01_ext03_shield_co.paa","\Y32_VTOL\data\vtol_01_ext04_shield_co.paa"}; class Library { libTextDesc = "BWS"; }; }; }; If anyone is able to help me out it would be very appreciated. Like i said i'm quite new to this and I've been trying for quite some time to fix it. Thank you in advance!

jets Jets - Jets DLC VTOL "Flaps" needs rename
Hvymtal posted a topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
EDIT: Was named JETS DLC Breaks VTOLs. Upon further investigation (Thanks, Greenfist ) I discovered that my problem resides in the fact that when TV is on, the "flaps" now controls the prop/nozzle position. I'm glad we're still in dev branch because this should be renamed. We aren't in A2 anymore and launching as it is in its current state would be unacceptable. My recommendation, change the name of the function in TV mode from "Flaps Down/Up" to "Thrust Down/Forward". Nice and unambiguous, makes it real easy to understand for new pilots seeing as jets will bring in a bunch of fresh butter-bars to crash all our stuff. Honestly, the new system makes flaps irrelevant anyhow, so I question whether we should just add new control functions for Thrust Down/Forwards and get rid of the "mode," keeping flaps for those of us who still want and like them. Playing with it more, the VTOLS could use some airbrakes but otherwise just needs Virtual Arsenal practice. A lot of it For those of you who got got like me: FLAPS IN VTOL NOW CONTROLS NOZZLE/PROP ANGLE, Flaps DOWN moves the thrust more VERTICALLY, Flaps UP moves the thrust more HORIZONTALLY, if you think of how flaps work, this makes perfect sense, though you wouldn't notice it on the ground or even in the air until someone points it out to you. Tip: Never go below 34% throttle unless you need to bleed altitude FAST, and then be prepared to go full power and pull up hard. FOLLOWING IS ORIGINAL POST. IT IS IRRELEVANT BUT HAS BEEN LEFT IN FOR DOCUMANTATION AND ONLINE ARCHIVING. I HAVE NO SHAME IN BEING A DUMBASS, SH*T HAPPENS, LIVE AND LEARN It appears that with the new throttle mechanics and flight characteristics introduced in JETS, VTOLS do not seem to function as intended anymore. Both the V-44 and Y-32 seem to roll forwards at least 30m before actually lifting off, and getting the thing to transition back to hovering from level flight is basically impossible since the thrusters/props do not seem to actually rotate downward again, even if you stall them in a zoom climb, essentially turning them into glorified planes. As far as I can tell, the only way to get the things to hover from level flight is to turn on invincibility (such as in VA), crash the things into the ground, use the new brakes function to being them to a stop, and then, only then will the Y-32 nozzles or V-44 props redirect their thrust. Not to mention them being difficult to land in level flight already, now whenever you do land you can't bring it down easy either way and it breaks the landing gear. Oh yeah, and even when you are in hover mode, the things don't actually hover no matter what you do, they'll either lurch forwards from black magic thrust or you reverse your direction from trying to get the thing to stop moving by pitching up and crash. With release in may, I really hope that the devs look really hard at the VTOLs and find a way to get them to work as intended
