I have a few questions about the gunship (UH-1C) and slick (D,H) hueys in the mod.


1. Is the gunship supposed to have sluggish handling compared to the slick?

I'd expect the gunship to be heavier than the transport (empty) and that to have impact on it's general peformance, however in the mod they handle very differently overall. Dare I say the gunship "flies like a brick".

At the same time it's able to sling-load a large supply crate, same as the slick. Furthermore the gunship appears able to carry multiple passengers in addition to crew, rocket pods, miniguns and ammo.
Both suggest weight simulation is not the reason for the difference in agility, or at least not a consistent reason.


2. Is there a known issue with the collision model on the slick?

I can safely hover the gunship right next to a tree or building with the main rotor blades barely above them, but if I try the same in the slick the rotors break off before they even come close to collidying with anything.
It's as if the invisible collision model for the slick's rotors is way deeper or lower than the actual visible model, resulting in innocent landing accidents and low-level crashes.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this issue mentioned already as surely other slick pilots have noticed losing their main rotor when they clearly shouldn't have.
I've even added a "self-destruct" option to the slicks in my mission so they can force respawn, seeing as they're liable to shed rotors on landing and become stranded.


3. In 3.4e the 'invisible gunship' bug thankfully seems to have been fixed, are you aware the light (doorless) slick is still sometimes spawning with black doors?


4. Again on the "light" slick, does it have different performance stats to the standard slick or is it just visual?


5. This is more of a general helicopter question but is there any way to swap or expand the song selection?

I would love to be able to listen to more of the songs in the mod from the same helicopter.
