@HeliCrashEvent

HeliCrashEvent Helicopter crashes that finally feel alive. Instead of wrecks that silently pop up somewhere, a helicopter enters from the map edge, crosses the map over random waypoints and goes down at a crash target. Players hear it coming, track it on the map and then fight over the wreck against infected, the surviving AI crew and other players. Features Flying helicopter event: spawns at the map edge, flies 1 to 2 random waypoints and crashes at a weighted crash target. One event at a time by default. Two flight modes: battle-tested scripted flight (default) or opt-in EnableRealFlight: true with velocity-driven flight, 3 orbits per waypoint and a spinning crash glide. Audio in three stages: approach loop audible up to 1500m, low-altitude warning, impact explosion. Live map marker: heli icon on the Expansion map (M key), updated at most every 2 seconds. Player notifications: spawn and crash alerts for everyone and a sighting alert for players within 500m. Sighting and crash alerts include grid coordinates (all texts configurable). Shootable: bring the heli down early and the wreck spawns where it fell. Crash site: wreck, scattered loot (optional loot table per heli), 3 to 6 infected within 28m and 1 to 3 AI survivors who defend the wreck. Optional AI crew in the cockpit during the flight (SpawnAICrewInHeli). Rescue helicopter (on by default): 8 minutes after the crash a medevac lands near the wreck and extracts the living survivors. No flight when nobody survived. Shoot it down and it becomes a second crash site. Watchdogs: stuck heli recovery (3 retries, then a forced crash) and a minimum flight altitude. Helicopter models: Expansion helicopters by default. When Arma 2 Helicopters Remastered is loaded, matching flying and wreck model pairs are preferred automatically.
