This is the mod version for RA. It is also available for TD under the name: "immersive_helis"
In this mod, helicopters
- explore terrain, even forbidden areas like for example, flying over water, forest and mountain edges
- stay idle in the air until commanded to land (using the key LEFT ALT for landing)
- helicopters still automatically return to their helipads and rearm
- group of helis fly in formation
In addition, helis
- return to their helipads after repairs
- perform guard mode (press "G" when heli is hovering, otherwise it will return to base)
- enter the map from closest map border to their helipad
- hunt until ammo is depleted (press X, scatter, to break attack mission)
- fly towards targets only if there is ammo (applies to yaks and migs as well)
Unlike for TD, here I needed to modified the rules.ini file so that transport helis could be available for skirmish and helicopters could reveal unexplored terrain. If you want to have this feature enabled then you will need to either, find the rules.ini file (default path below) and copy it into the corresponding folder, or modify your rules.ini file in the game folder accordingly (see values below).
Default path to find the rules.ini:
...\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1213210\2173503233\RA immersive helis\modfiles
Please, consider that perhaps some of the id numbers may differ for you.
It is also available on my github
Default directory to save the rules.ini file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\CnCRemastered
Hope you enjoy the mod.
Please let me know if you have feedback, bug report, or any other comment.
Have fun commander!
