Summary

Call in a Medevac (Dustoff) or troop Transport (Big Windy) with map markers. Real flight, damage, crew calls, forced landings. Uses UH-60/CH-47 mods if loaded, Huey otherwise.

Official Workshop description

HELI SUPPORT - Medevac & Transport Call in helicopter support with map markers. The helicopters are real, flyable-physics aircraft: they can be shot, their crew can be hit, and they react the way a real crew would. MEDEVAC - "Dustoff 2-1" - Place a map marker with the text MEDEVAC. - The bird flies in, lands, and waits for you to load your wounded (unconscious players too). - It lifts off, holds nearby while the medic treats each patient, then flies back and drops them off on the same LZ. - Radio updates for every step; patients who die aboard are reported KIA. TRANSPORT - "Big Windy 2-5" - Place a PZ marker (pickup zone) and an LZ marker (landing zone). - The bird lands at the PZ, waits for your team to board, flies you to the LZ and drops you off. REALISTIC FLIGHT & CREW - Terrain-following low-level flight, smooth turns, flare and quick combat landings. - Approaches along valleys instead of over ridges. - Checks the landing spot: if your mark is too tight (compound, town, trees, slope, water), it finds the nearest clear ground within 150 m and tells you where. - Takes fire? It backs off and tries again. Still taking hits? It asks for a new LZ, or picks its own nearby. - Pilot hit: the co-pilot takes over. Lost the engine, tail rotor or main rotor: "WE LOST THE ENGINE! GONNA TRY AND SET IT DOWN! BRACE!" - a forced landing to save everyone aboard. - Accidents that aren't enemy fire don't cost you a cooldown. TWO BIRDS AT ONCE - A medevac and a transport can be out at the same time, with height separation and holding patterns so they don't collide. HELICOPTERS - Uses the UH-60 Medical (Sikorsky H-60 Project) and CH-47 (H-47 Chinook) if those mods are loaded on the server. - Falls back to the base-game UH-1H Huey on vanilla servers. No extra dependencies required. SERVER SETTINGS - $profile:HeliSupport.json is created on first start: cooldowns (default 90 s medevac, 5 min transport), ground wait times, treatment time and helicopter lists. COMPATIBILITY - Shares an airspace lock with A-10 CAS Call-In, AC-130 Gunship and C-130 Airdrop: only one support aircraft launches at a time, and calls during the lock wait and launch automatically.

**Heli Support 1.1.5**

**QRF fixes**
- Chinook QRF: troops now get off behind the ramp in rows instead of standing up and getting stuck inside
- Helicopters no longer lift while troops are still climbing out
- HEAVY QRF: the second helicopter looks further out for its own LZ, so both Chinooks no longer try to land on the same spot
