activating helicopters

[n8m4re 7]

hi,

is there a way to activate helicopters on my server?

I believe the only way is to downgrade to a version that had helicopters enabled.

I could be wrong however.

I found a chopper on Saturday on the Version 1.7.1? (kinda this one, the newest on this day).

I flyed a lot of choppers on Battlefield an games like that.

First time i thought its the broken one i can grap items from. Buuut i could go in and shoot the zombies with the MG, then!!! i saw a pilot place, and yeeeehh. with my lot flying expiriance, start the engine. 25m ahead i did a frontflipt and bye bye little chopper, i cried so long,... so long ^^....

So Choppers avaible. Dont know if there any new patch out there since saturday...

greetz.

Helicopters are currently not available on any server running current patches. Any chopper found on a server running the current mod version is hacked unless someone managed to keep said helicopter up and running from a previous version when they were in game. Also no it's not possible to enable them on your server.

No choppers arent in the game yet.

This is simply not true.

We run a fully up to date server and we have repairable helicopters spawning, currently we know of one squad opperating a working Huey.

Chopper activation is tied to a server's instance ID / mission file AFAIK, the older servers have this enabled. Newer servers do not and probably will not until the devs fix the issues with aircraft.
