You can place static object helicopters. The end result is exactly the same, you just use a different menu to do it.

Yeah but then you can't use that helicopter later on in the mission as the real deal. It's useful for setting helicopters up as uncontrolled that takeoff and do their mission some time after mission start or for when you make a multiplayer server you have all the aircraft already spawned in so you don't see as much of a stutter when a new player joins (at least I think, that's sort of how that works...)

+ you can't give them any payload, and you can't hide them on F10 map.

So it would be nice to have the option :)

yep yep yep

 

especially with how the parking slots for some helicopters are.

 

parking slots for the mi-8 have to be huge, where as the mi-24 can spawn on any parking slot which is in the open

Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days

It seems, in the Editor the "Uncontrolled" Option is only available for aircraft parking on the ramp. Please make the option available for Helis which start "On the ground" cold.

 

I search for this too and I found your post so I am going to post my solution here in case someone else find this.

 

In DCS\MissionEditor\modules\me_aircraft.lua

Find updateVisibleUncontrolled

Replace the

 

local bVisible = (bBotUnits == true and vdata.group.route.points[1].type == panel_route.actions.takeoffParking)

 

with

 

local bVisible = (bBotUnits == true and (vdata.group.route.points[1].type == panel_route.actions.takeoffParking or vdata.group.route.points[1].type == panel_route.actions.takeoffGround))

 

then start/restart your DCS

 

This change will be wiped everytime you update your DCS tho but at least, it's working :cry:
