Helicopters

[Gryper]

Using the mod... I can put the course marker where I want it to fly, but what makes the chopper actually proceed to the waypoint? Enter and left click doesn't work. Thanks.

Which mod?

[Gryper]

Oh, sorry, Dot mod. I didnt know there were others.

[Gryper]

And I still don't know. I cant find a manual for dot mod.

Helicopters work in stages, you need to have them:
Deploy on deck, engine start, take off.

You press the same button 2-3 times for this.

It'll take a few seconds for them to get airborne before you can issue commands.


They have a discord, I can't recall where documentation is unfortunately so I'd go there if you have issues/questions.

Thanks. It's been a month and I can only get it to launch but it just hovers over the ship. I can't get it to go anywhere. I don't use Discord. I'm allergic to it.

CTRL-F twice to take off.
CTRL-H to set a course
CTRL-Space to drop a weapon
CTRL -R once to return to base, again when it gets to the ship to rearm, third time to stow.

Edit:Default Key Configs. Figured what the hell...
