and now im not having the issue anymore, no idea what changed

having an issue. after the initial player spawn before any bots have spawned, the player is put on top of an unmanned copter, outside the copter. both fall down. no bots come to pilot it while it's falling. only happens during this initial spawn, not afterwards during the game.
might be a map specific issue? consistently happens at the vanilla island map.
currently using panchuet's ai overhaul and a few mutators, no multiskins.

@KitKat I’ve been a bit busy these days. I will investigate when I have time (a few days later)

And after some even further testing I found that they don't land, they just float over the point, I'm using Vanilla Plus if that means anything

After some further testing, they drop them off, go strafe with miniguns, then come back and pick them up.

For some reason, all the helicopters just land in one point, that has already been taken, hoping for some help on this.

@Galdin Ah I see! Thank you so much for clarifying the issue. By the way, if you accidentally click F1 (driver position) it will also make every vehicle occupant your teammate. ^^

The issue was that I was using another mutator that automatically assigned nearby troops to my squad so everyone in the helicopter would become part of my squad LOL
Great mod!!

How many helicopters are there at the same contesting site? If there are too many transport helicopters at the same place, there can be issues with landing. Try to turn on procedural HLZ or similar options.

The helicopters won't land for some reason

And uh sorry about the recent lack of update. I have some personal matters that have to be addressed first ;0

*Always Land

@conanmonan91 Hi! I tested it out and they were exploding when spawning in. I am not sure why that’s the case since the mod simply spawns the helicopters. A temporary compromise is to disable the CHD part and enable just Always Landz

@Timoruz hi about the secure area and stuck timer. I will add a measure to deal with such edge case ^^

Auto bailout and ragdoll makes the always land module so much better https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3494261892&searchtext=Ragdoll

If secure area is longer than the stuck timer, the pilot will bail while landed.

Description needs updating due to removed/updated settings.

this mod got crazy potential if this gets fixed im definitely reenabling it cos it was loads of fun when it worked

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2918441825 this the mod i was using

also i cant find the offensive deployment option

i have the same issue as conanman91 except with the mech helicopters in the steel front mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3497241439

@conanmonan91 Can you link the huey mod?

i used the huey mode and it kicks me out the moment i spawn in and sends the chopper flying it explodes and kills everyone i have the gore mod so its kind of funny but game breaking bro need some help

@lanzerik9 What's the transport helicopter you are using? It is a known issue for some helicopters with modified script.

Does still work with EA29? because when I'm playing at Raven Don't Surf map they keep dropping off the troops mid air, I'm not sure if that's what's causing it and I just want this to be fixed. I can provide a more in depth detail in discord.

Hotfix: fixed landing scheduler issues with landing queue piling up.

Update to always land module. It now supports secure area behavior for helicopter before taking off. This is good for suppressive fire or things like hotdropping.

Oh yep. kkbetournay is right. That option is enabled by default because people don't like too many transport helicopters in the sky, haha.

@alwaysgood, make sure "leave battlefield after spawning" is not checked. That is what fixed it for me.

How do I prevent the helicopters from despawning after landing

Raven Don’t Surf

any one know the name of the map in the fortunate son video?

Sometimes I wont spawn on the helis and just spawn on a random spawnpoint even though i had the option turned off

Could we change the distance from capture point that the Procedural LZs spawn?

@Timoruz Thank u ^^

Amazing stuff

*It was for Always Land

minor update: fixed behavior after reinitialized order with insufficient members

Major Update: Always Land module has added procedurally-generated helicopter landing zone. This will eliminate almost all zombie helicopters that just float around and do nothing, except in certain situations where helicopters receive a "Defense" order (which is very rare)

@Bofur Sorry about that. I've removed both options because the enemy would shoot them down as soon as they enter the area. I will add them back after readjusting things.

i cant find the frontine / offesive deployment options in the config page. where are these located or how do i fix this

fix ??

seems like the always land mutator is no longer working

Hotfix 4/18 2025: Fixed destroyed helicopters not being destroyed, resulting in performance hogging. It is advised to update your mod to the latest version to increase game performance.

@Timoruz Oh thank you Timoruz ^^ Im just a bit busy these days and stopped playing the game. I'll do bugfixes when I have time

@Rook Don't let people's issues get you down. This is my favorite mod in all of my time playing Ravenfield (since 2017)

Should be fixed in the latest beta update.

pls update fix

Hey, i have a problem that the Heli is always landing on it spawn point and not flying towards neutral or enemy spawnpoints. I also dont have the Condigurators in the Menu to change it.

Definitely a game changer! Working perfectly with my modded heli and map!
