How Do I Land A Helicopter?

[Skunk]

Every time I try to land a heli it will always crash. How do I land the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing?

[Silence]

you have to land very gently, getting close to the ground and then going up (for new pilots) then finally touching down, it isn't like GTA where you can slam it against the ground

[Grovesy]

As stated, softly. The wheels don't roll without Advanced Flight Model enabled. So you'll need to touch down without any horizontal velocity. Can't slide across the ground

I would say learn to approach your landing with "horizontal velocity" while slowly tipping back and in tern landing while "slide across the ground" at slow speed. make you a harder target than vertical landings.

first: Jump into the editor, slap a little bird down and go nuts. it's an easier bird to fly than a blackhawk

Second: Take it slow. It's possible to land a heli going stupid fast and still set it down like butter on a leaf. It's a matter of knowing the capabilities of the helicopter you're flying. Kind of just piggybacking on the above posts, the key to putting it down gently is to take it slow. No need to come in hot like a barrel of flaming ♥♥♥♥ if you don't have to.

Third: There's some really nice youtube videos that teach you everything you need to know about flying helicopters in Arma 3.

Fourth: Download Survivable Crashes. because why not?

press zzzz than after it about 1mtr from the ground, ascend it periodically (shift 3x or 4x).
we called it kinetic physix.I called it a momentum anti gravity brake.

In arma 2, they have basic training how to land a heli for a crash landing. but in arma 3 vanilla (original non mod), heli can destroy and blow off only when its rotor touch the trees. But with a popular mod, the heli wont blow off.

Go to Youtube and search for 'ARMA 3 J-Hook'...
That's how I abandoned the dream of becoming a heli-pilot and focused on jet

Get gud.

I.e. use the Schwartz.

would love to know how this is going on
