Rocket kindly responded to my aircraft related question during his reddit AMA today. He confirmed plans for aircraft in the game, emphasising the importance of "helicopters and small aircraft" and that "they should be very complex to maintain". My dreams are coming true! :thumbsup: :beans: :) http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1vulr2/i_am_dean_rocket_hall_creator_of_dayz_and/cevxm5t?context=3 -

The two seat TL-32 Typhoon is also manufactured in the Czech Republic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TL_Ultralight_TL-32_Typhoon -

Interesting stuff. I particularly like the Letov LK-2 Sluka! :thumbsup: -

No worries kingrex; it's all good. Out of all the threads in the suggestions section, this one has the most replies. Hopefully someone at Bohemia will see it eventually. :thumbsup: :beans: :) -

This would definitely work well in the game! It would also be pretty hilarious to strap the propeller to your back on maximum power and sprint through Elektro with no wing :D Seriously though, it should be quite easy to animate the wing lifting from the ground as you run to gain speed for take off: Perhaps a raincoat could be ripped up for rags and used for repairs if the wing gets damaged. I like the para-glider idea a lot! :thumbsup: :beans: -

I wonder if first person view was mandatory when flying, whether it would help to alleviate the potential issue of making bases and vehicles too easy to spot from the air? This clip gives a good indication of what it might look and feel like: -

Was reading through the thread again kingrex - this engine failure idea is good stuff! Many ultralights use Rotax two stroke engines, which up until quite recently had a reputation for questionable reliability. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to code an engine failure probability based on fuel contamination or component failure. For a player to constantly have a fear of engine failure while flying might add to the desperate survivalist aspect of the DayZ experience, especially if flying above water or forested areas. However, with enough practice most aspiring ultralight aviators should be able to manage a successful landing with no engine power (glide or auto-rotate). -

I'm all for this idea. The development roadmap on DayZ's Steam store page used to state that "Playable user customizable vehicles" were a planned feature. Unfortunately this has changed recently to "Playable vehicles". Perhaps the code required to implement complex customisation for vehicles carries too much of a performance overhead. We can but hope. :) -

I didn't realise someone had modelled the Mosquito ULH (as opposed to the autogyro) for Arma 2 / DayZ Mod already. Imagine something similar with nicer textures, sound and model (then imagine how much fun it would be). :)
