@FireDragon, one other possible try; this method should reset the variable that sets the respawn vehicle (note to other readers, you can also exploit this to fly vehicles that are not detected as helicopters, you do need to know the classname though)

Load up the singleplayer editor, drop a player character and run the mission; hit pause, and enter this into the debug console:

profileNamespace setVariable ["dsp_arp_heli", "B_Heli_Light_01_F"];

hit "local exec", and go back and try the mission again. This should set the vehicle to B_Heli_Light_01_F, which is the MH

Sorry, only seeing your comments now, and thanks for the feedback!

@FireDragon761138 Is this still happening? Hitting 'restart mission' from the pause menu has helped some in the past.

@Sydney I'm not sure of anything in the script that could be preventing 3rd person; I think its likely a difficulty setting issue

I can't seem to get it to respawn into a helicopter, it just begins the mission with me on the ground. There must be a persistent save happening.

Very cool scenario - the re-spawn is perfect for mastering difficult manoeuvres like J-Hook landings that involve a lot of crashing!! Thanks mate. :steamthumbsup:

@kotasuperhero1345 its not a mod its a mission (launcher list mods only), try single player scenarios
Sydney 12 Oct, 2020 @ 10:39am 
Sometimes I can't use 3rd person?
kotasuperhero1345 21 Sep, 2020 @ 9:19am 
hit subscribed and it doesnt seem to actually download nor does it show up in the arma 3 mod list, is it called Hell heli in the launcher mods list?

Hey all, as a proud union member and in honor of Labor Day, I got my ass in gear and caught up to the latest maps. Sorry for the delay! You can now find Livonia, and two seasons of independently developed Weferlingen in the collection, or via the links in the description above.

Enjoy, And have a great weekend!

And a moment of remembrance for those who fought and died to give us a weekend, overtime, and safer, less abusive working conditions. Solidarity forever

@meatyclaws - its not a mod, so it should only show up in your in-game singleplayer scenarios list
Bankroll 27 Aug, 2020 @ 4:04pm 
any thing i can do to make it work

Mr Sloppy Big 1 Jul, 2020 @ 11:37am 
can you play this online with friends?
AgentOmega 4 Jun, 2020 @ 2:21am 
Thanks to this mod I can at least now land a helicopter, great job with it. Do you have one for jets:cozybethesda:
TOOM 26 Apr, 2020 @ 5:04am 
When I subscribe to this mission I can't see it in the list of missions I can play. Why ?
ITSMCPEARSONAIDEN 2 Apr, 2020 @ 5:34am 
OKY thanks
dr_strangepete  [author] 2 Apr, 2020 @ 5:15am 
@Ethan-Smith366 Hi, that isn't a stock arma helicopter, so I would double check that arma is adding that mod when starting up. Is that a CUP mod?

@ITs_MC_MASTER_AIDENj It should show up in your Single Player Scenarios list, you might have to restart Arma if you added it while the game was running. A few other players have had issues with the mission not appearing but there is no clear cause or solution; it seems to work its self out for some people.
ITSMCPEARSONAIDEN 2 Apr, 2020 @ 4:45am 
i canr find it at my mods
ITSMCPEARSONAIDEN 2 Apr, 2020 @ 4:38am 
it dos not show up in my game mods??????????

:steamfacepalm:
Ron3604 25 Feb, 2020 @ 8:32pm 
where did the ah 1z go i was using it the other night now its not there
Cowboy Chip 19 Feb, 2020 @ 7:36pm 
@dr_strangepete, I'm in, thanks ;-)
dr_strangepete  [author] 19 Feb, 2020 @ 4:58pm 
@Cowboy Chip - Steam seems to do this sometimes, and I don't have any good solutions; Is it just this map, or all? Sometimes unsubscribing, restarting arma, and resubscribing can fix it, in other cases making a new profile in arma. Sorry, please let me know if you find a way to get it back

@matt - Thanks!

@Alluz - yeah....Arma is a finicky flyer. Are you flying standard or RotorLib controls? Checking your difficulty settings may help too

@Lerrific & @BruceU - No multiplayer, sorry. Its not something I can tackle right now. If you have scripting skills, in the forum link above you can find the MP demo that includes a few features from this, but not the heli-changing. Feel free to use any code from anything I've posted
Cowboy Chip 14 Feb, 2020 @ 8:28am 
Is there an update for the Hell-Heli : Stratis Autorotation Practice 2.4? Some how I lost access lol
BaseballParent 4 Jan, 2020 @ 9:13am 
Perfect, best heli sim i've found yet
Alluz 26 Dec, 2019 @ 1:38pm 
There is something broken in this... doesn't matter how you land my helicopter always just blows up...
Lerrific 3 Dec, 2019 @ 6:47am 
multiplayer soon??
BruceU 15 Nov, 2019 @ 9:06am 
Is there a multiplayer version coming?
dr_strangepete  [author] 25 Oct, 2019 @ 2:38pm 
Much appreciated; I realize it is a pain in the ass, but I have limited options to try/suggest since I'm not experiencing the issue on either of my own accounts. I've dug around and seen a couple similar issues others have had with workshop missions, and it feels like its a Steam caching issue at the core (one solution being to reinstall arma...i don't find that to be acceptable though, I'd rather a fix)
Alex12B1 25 Oct, 2019 @ 2:04pm 
Ill try
dr_strangepete  [author] 20 Oct, 2019 @ 3:44pm 
@Jumper sorry to hear you're experiencing this too. Could you try a couple things to help me narrow it down -- see if the missions show up when using a temporary arma3 profile, and also trying to run Steam's "Verify Integrity of Games Files", which can be found by right clicking arma in your library, selecting Properties, and then the Local Files tab
Alex12B1 18 Oct, 2019 @ 9:38am 
None of the Hell-Helis appear in my 'missions' section?
dr_strangepete  [author] 13 Oct, 2019 @ 11:21am 
@Klassenprecher i forgot to ask, did you subscribe one mission at a time, or did you use the collection pack? And is it all the maps or just Altis
dr_strangepete  [author] 13 Oct, 2019 @ 11:19am 
@Klassenprecher one other thing to try that i can think of, is create a new temporary profile and see if you can subscribe or see it there...something in your profile or mission cache might be corrupted.

I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this, please chime in. I've heard of at least one other
[NoL] Klassensprecher der 7b 12 Oct, 2019 @ 4:11pm 
I recently reset my PC. Must be an Arma update. The proposed methods did not work.
dr_strangepete  [author] 11 Oct, 2019 @ 5:01pm 
@Klassenprecher could you try unsubscribing, making sure that arma and the launcher are not running, and subscribing again. After starting arma again, check Scenarios, but also see if its showing up as playable in multiplayer. Did this suddenly occur, or after a game update?
[NoL] Klassensprecher der 7b 10 Oct, 2019 @ 5:13pm 
So I can subscribe but cannot choose it to play ingame pls help
[NoL] Klassensprecher der 7b 10 Oct, 2019 @ 5:10pm 
Hey, I cant use it anymore pls fix it.
Cowboy Chip 4 Oct, 2019 @ 8:10pm 
Thanks for the update Dr_strangepete ;-)
dr_strangepete  [author] 26 Sep, 2019 @ 3:16pm 
Hi, sorry for the delayed response to some:

OZCAN & PaPCartON: 3rd person is affected by game difficulty settings; nothing in the game should affect view except during death -- when you die does it 3rd person, and back again? Or stay stuck in 1st through death?

Dangerous-D: Often simply unsubscribing and trying again will list it. Other method that has worked is to locate the cached mission and manually clear it (although I can't give you good directions on this, its been too long)

Beratcan: Its not multiplayer, so you can't host it. It should be under your scenarios.

Cowboy Chip: There will be no major feature updates, but I'll do my best (its a slow-best, honestly) to keep on top of bugs that come with arma updates
mjm 25 Sep, 2019 @ 4:15am 
why can i go to third person anymore sucks m8
Dangerous-D 6 Jul, 2019 @ 12:54am 
I can't find your scenarios in my scenario list anymore, gutted.
Cowboy Chip 21 Apr, 2019 @ 8:19pm 
Is there any updates to this?
ovy 20 Mar, 2019 @ 7:31pm 
Blows up so easy
robert ZAZA 9 Mar, 2019 @ 6:02am 
Why can't I play it in third person?
OneSec 23 Feb, 2019 @ 7:11am 
dude ı cant host this map and mission ı dont know why but its not visible ım looking altis maps and gamemodes but its not in here and ı download it how can ı find it
dr_strangepete  [author] 15 Feb, 2019 @ 7:22pm 
@Beratcan_02 the forum link at the bottom of the description above has the mission files; at the moment it is missing Malden, and two bug fixes: event handler for 'eject' causes error; player unit in missions were set to 'playable' which will mark the mission as multiplayer on Steam if published.

Anything in particular you wanted to fix?
OneSec 15 Feb, 2019 @ 6:25am 
ı Cant open this in editor how can ı fix it
