Summary
On-call AI helicopter extraction, supply drops and an armed AI ground convoy (QRF) for every player. Call them from chat, your radio, the command menu or the map, on PC and console.
Official Workshop description
SkyCab Extraction puts AI support on call for every player: a helicopter that picks you up, flies you anywhere or drops you supplies, and a QRF convoy of armed vehicles that fights its way to you when your team is being overrun. The crews fly, drive and shoot; you just call. Made by Warhawk Division for its own servers.
THREE CALL SIGNS
Chariot - transport helicopter: get picked up, get a ride anywhere on the map, or get full arsenal boxes dropped beside you.
Dustoff - the same helicopter on a medical flight. The crew stops your bleeding on the way, and you're fully healed when it sets you down at a friendly base.
Bulldog - QRF ground convoy: AI-crewed gun vehicles drive to you on the roads, their gunners fight while you mount up, and they drive you to the nearest friendly base. Or they hold your position and fight beside you for 5 minutes.
FIVE WAYS TO CALL (PC AND CONSOLE)
- Chat (PC): /extract, /lift, /dustoff, /resupply, /qrf, /qrf hold, /flyto marker, /flyto nearest, /land, /rtb, /waveoff, /status.
- Radio menu: hold your switched-on radio and inspect it (R / Y / Triangle), then pick a SkyCab call.
- Command menu: hold ` (PC) or D-pad right + LB/L1 (controller), open SkyCab > Chariot, Dustoff, QRF or Status.
- Map menu: right-click (PC) or X/Square (controller) a spot on the map > SkyCab > Pick up here, Resupply here, Fly here or Hold here.
- Your own buttons: Settings > Controls > SkyCab. None are set by default.
THE HELICOPTER
- Throw green, violet, yellow or red smoke within 50 m and it lands on the smoke (white is ignored). At night fire a green flare and it lands under it; a red one means the LZ is hot. Or pick the spot on the map, up to 500 m away.
- It picks clear, flat ground and flies a proper approach angle down to it, arriving low and slow; trees near the LZ make it come in steeper, not hang overhead. Sloped ground gets a low hover; if nothing is clear it tells you the LZ is fouled.
- 90 seconds to board. Send it anywhere with a map marker, "Fly here" on the map, or to the nearest base; give no destination and the pilot takes you home. /land sets it down at the nearest clear ground.
- /resupply lands full arsenal boxes by its doors (US troops also get a Russian one) and waits 30 seconds for anyone who wants a ride.
- Under fire it goes evasive, comes in hot on final approach, and aborts if badly damaged. It does not fight back and can be shot down.
- Two helicopters per side at a time (Chariot 1-1 and 1-2).
THE QRF CONVOY
- Picks you up on the nearest road (within 300 m), marked on your map as QRF PICKUP. It arrives from out of sight, about 1.2 km away, stops just short of the marker and halts for anyone in its way.
- On site it halts with its guns covering the area: 120 seconds to mount up, or move out early with /rtb.
- After the drop-off the vehicles lock and drive away out of sight. Players can never drive or keep a QRF vehicle.
- If a vehicle is lost or stuck, the crew tells you to move to the next one. If the convoy can't get through, it turns back and your cooldown is not charged.
RADIO AND RULES
- Every call is answered by a recorded voice over the radio and in chat; the big moments also pop up on screen for the caller and passengers.
- To follow your side's helicopters and QRF, tune a switched-on radio to 48 MHz. Switch it off or retune to stop hearing them. The caller and passengers always hear their own ride, and only they give orders.
- You need a radio, switched on, to call. Passengers don't.
- After your run ends you wait 5 minutes before calling again (shared between helicopter and QRF). /status shows when.
FOR SERVER ADMINS
- Script mod: works on Conflict, modded Conflict and custom scenarios, with vanilla or modded factions. Depends only on Arma Reforger.
- Everything is set in profile/SkyCab/config.json, written on first run and updated automatically: helicopters per faction, limits, radio frequencies, approach, supply crates, Dustoff care, pop-ups, banter and every QRF setting.
- Admins and Game Masters: /skycab reload (re-read config.json, no restart), list (everything on task), clear (remove a stuck one), send <player> <call> (call for a player).
- The QRF uses the vehicles listed in config.json; their mod must be loaded. Without them, /qrf answers "no QRF available" and the rest works. It needs maps with roads and vehicle navmesh.
- Every call is written to the server log with the prefix [SkyCab].

SKYCAB EXTRACTION LICENSE
Version 1.1, October 2026
Copyright (c) 2026 Warhawk Division. All rights reserved.
This license covers the Arma Reforger mod SkyCab_Extraction (Workshop name SkyCab Extraction)
and its bridge addon WD_SkyCab_ServiceRecord, including their scripts, configuration files,
documentation and any future updates published under this license (together, the "Mod").
"Warhawk Division", "we" and "us" mean the Warhawk Division gaming community that publishes the
Mod. "You" means anyone who downloads, installs or uses it.
1. WHAT YOU MAY DO
1. Play on our servers. You may download, install and load the Mod only so that you can join
and play on game servers run by or for Warhawk Division ("Authorized Servers"). Arma Reforger
downloads the Mod automatically when you join one, and that is permitted.
2. Bohemia Interactive may host, distribute and display the Mod on the Arma Reforger Workshop.
Nothing in this license limits any right Bohemia Interactive has under the Arma Reforger End
User License Agreement, the Arma Reforger Tools End User License Agreement or the Arma
Reforger Workshop Terms of Use.
Everything not listed in this section is reserved by Warhawk Division.
2. WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO
Unless Warhawk Division gives you written permission first, you may not:
1. Run, host or load the Mod on any server other than an Authorized Server.
2. Copy, modify, adapt, translate, decompile, or extract the Mod's scripts or other files, or
create derivative works from it.
3. Re-upload, mirror, repack or redistribute the Mod, in whole or in part, including inside
mod packs, other mods, or as a dependency of another mod.
4. Use the Mod, or anything made from it, commercially, or monetize it directly or indirectly.
This includes charging for access, putting it behind paid perks, selling it, or using it to
promote a paid product or service.
5. Use the Mod, or any part of it, outside games and products made by Bohemia Interactive.
6. Use the Mod for anything other than entertainment and recreation, for example for real-world
military, professional, occupational or educational training.
7. Remove or change this license or any copyright notice in the Mod.
3. DATA THE MOD RECORDS
1. Server log. On Authorized Servers the Mod writes lines to the game server's own log file when
someone uses it: the player ID and in-game name of the player who used a SkyCab command (by
chat, radio, menu or button), which command it was and any text typed after it, the map
positions involved (landing zones, the home base, the helicopter and convoy), the radio
messages the helicopter and convoy sent, and a summary of each finished run (see 3). Warhawk
Division server staff use these lines to find and fix problems.
2. Running totals. The Mod counts, for the whole server, how many runs, passengers, casualties
healed, supply crates and lost helicopters and convoys there have been, and shows them in
/status. These totals contain no player information. Depending on the server's settings they
are kept in memory only or saved in a file on the server.
3. Service record. When the server also runs the Warhawk Division bridge addon WD_SkyCab_ServiceRecord
together with WD_ServiceRecord, a summary of each finished helicopter or convoy run is passed
to WD_ServiceRecord, which sends it to the Warhawk Division website. The summary holds: which
service it was (transport, medical, supply or convoy), how it ended, the side it served, how
long it took, how many casualties were healed and crates dropped, and, for the player who
called it and for each player who rode in it, their Bohemia account identity ID and in-game
name. The website uses it to show service records and statistics for players and the
community. Without that bridge addon the Mod sends nothing off the server.
The Mod does not record IP addresses, chat messages other than its own commands, voice, or
anything from your computer. How Warhawk Division handles its server logs and website data is set
out in the Privacy Policy on the Warhawk Division website.
4. BOHEMIA INTERACTIVE
The Mod is published on the Arma Reforger Workshop and must be used in line with the Arma Reforger
End User License Agreement, the Arma Reforger Tools End User License Agreement and the Workshop
Terms of Use. If anything in this license conflicts with those documents, they prevail. This
license grants no rights in Bohemia Interactive's games, tools or content. Bohemia Interactive is
not a party to this license and is not responsible for the Mod.
5. OTHER MODS
The Mod can be set to use helicopters, characters or factions from other Workshop mods that a
server already loads. Those mods remain their authors' property and are covered by their own
licenses. This license grants no rights in them, and the Mod contains none of their files.
6. ASKING FOR PERMISSION
To ask about any use not allowed above, contact Warhawk Division staff through the Warhawk
Division Discord server (discord.gg/warhawk). Permission only counts if it is given in writing
by Warhawk Division staff.
7. ENDING THIS LICENSE
This license ends automatically, without notice, if you break any of its terms. When it ends you
must stop using the Mod and delete any copies you made.
8. NO WARRANTY
The Mod is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Warhawk Division is a
volunteer hobby community. To the fullest extent the law allows, Warhawk Division and its members
are not liable for any claim, damages or other liability arising from the Mod or its use,
including loss of game progress, characters, equipment, vehicles, data, or server performance.
9. FUTURE VERSIONS
Warhawk Division may publish future versions of the Mod under a different license, including a more
open one such as the Arma Public License Share Alike (APL-SA). Each version is covered by the
license it was published with.
10. GOVERNING LAW
This license is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, matching the Warhawk
Division website's Terms of Use.
This license was drafted for a hobby community and has not been reviewed by a lawyer.

2.4.0
NEW
- QRF: order hold even after a plain QRF call. The convoy on its way holds once it arrives, one already there holds for 5 minutes from your order, and one driving you to base turns back to the pickup and holds there.
- Server admins: hotApproachAngle and hotDescentMax in config.json set how steeply and fast the helicopter comes in hot.
- Supply runs have their own recorded pilot lines (7 new voice lines).
CHANGED
- QRF vehicles no longer run over players: the lead halts 25 m short of the pickup marker, the convoy slows to 20 km/h for the last 150 m, and any vehicle stops and waits while someone on foot is in its path.
- Supply runs now drop full arsenal boxes (weapons, ammunition, equipment, medical) instead of ammunition and medical crates; US troops also get a Russian one. Servers with an existing config.json keep their old supplies list until they change it.
- Hot landings are much steeper and faster: a 20-degree approach and up to 12 m/s descent (was 10 degrees and 9 m/s). Normal landings are a little steeper too: 13 degrees and up to 7 m/s (was 10 and 6). Servers with an existing config.json keep their old approachAngle and landingDescentMax until they change them.
- A QRF vehicle that's leaving stays on the map, marked "(leaving)", until it despawns, and a leaving vehicle stuck near players now despawns after 2 minutes instead of 5. Existing config.json files keep their old qrfDepartMaxTime.config.json entry
