RedFalcon Heliz DayZ Expansion Bridge

RedFalcon Heliz Expansion Bridge In memory of Ken — RedFalcon. He built these birds and shared them with all of us. This mod exists so they never stop flying. Flies every RedFalcon helicopter on DayZ Expansion's flight system. RedFalcon's beautiful airframes, Expansion's actively maintained flight mechanics — the best of both, in one lightweight bridge mod. What it does RedFalcon Flight System - Heliz is no longer in active development, and its custom flight code is frozen in time. This mod re-parents all 14 RedFalcon helicopters (34 aircraft including skin variants) onto DayZ Expansion's helicopter simulation. From now on, the flight mechanics update whenever Expansion updates — your birds keep flying through game patches instead of breaking down with the old flight model. All 14 RF airframes + 20 skin variants fly with Expansion physics — collective, cyclic, autorotation, the works Flight parameters are exactly Expansion's own — bridged helis fly like Expansion helicopters because they run the same values on the same system, and they tune the same way (Expansion's VehicleSettings.json) RedFalcon assets preserved: models, animations, doors, seats, per-airframe engine sounds with real startup times, wrecks Engine parts are Expansion-standard; cargo inventory always accessible No RedFalcon files are modified — this is a config/script bridge in its own PBO. RF PBOs stay byte-untouched Server drag: near zero No per-frame server code. No timers, no polling. Boot cost is a config parse (milliseconds); runtime work is event-driven only. Once loaded, these are indistinguishable from 14 more Expansion helicopters — and since the bridge disables RF's original flight loop on bridged helis, the net server cost can actually go down. Required mods RedFalcon Flight System - Heliz (the airframes, models, and sounds) DayZ Expansion Bundle or DayZ Expansion - Vehicles (the flight system) — plus their dependencies (See DayZ Expansion Mod) Load the bridge after both. Notes for server owners Flight tuning works exactly like Expansion's own helicopters — use Expansion's VehicleSettings.json; no bridge-specific config to maintain Works with Expansion's vehicle ecosystem (keys, covers) the same way Expansion's own helicopters do New types file for bridge heliz & covers included in Extras folder RFFS Heli Flight Cases can be added back to storage through config json (NEW as of Oct. 2026) 📜 License Do NOT sell this mod, and do not re-upload it — as-is or tweaked — and claim it as your own. It isn't. This mod was developed with real time, money and AI assistance. Feel free to do patches if you wish, but do not copy this code. I HIGHLY recommend NOT repacking this as it's new and there may be compat modifications done to it if conflicts arise.
