I was just browsing the Dev Forum at the official GR.com site and noticed this thread about how helicopters will function in Island Thunder. Up until now, most of us assumed the choppers would just be seen in pre-game cut-scenes, but thanks to Red Storm's Greg Stelmack (who was Lead Engineer on SOAF) for telling us that the helicopters will actually be used within the missions and mod-makers may be able to script for them in IGOR! Here's the juice:Q: Is this heli insertion a pre-made movie?
Greg: It's in-game scripting. It's actually part of the mission, you just can't control your guy while it's happening. So yes, you'll see your guys on the chopper ... [this] means "the exact team and weapons you chose in the setup will be on the chopper". Yes, it's like a movie (non-interactive),
but it's after mission start and in game. [...] You'll see the chopper taking off again once you gain control. Heli landing / taking off is hardcoded, although scripting in Igor controls where it happens and when.
