A better action [ "engine on" ]

[Telemachus]

For those of you who managed to get the action [ "engine on" ] command to work for helicopters, you might have noticed that the chopper lifts off right away, then lands. After some quick experimentation, I was able to get the engine to start and not have the thing jump into the air with the following command sequence:

;location dosn't matter, we're not going anywhere
helicopter1 commandmove [ 0, 0 ]
helicopter1 flyinheight 0
;the chopper should start up right away, and will stay put

BTW, is anyone else having problems modifying their profile?

[rhysduk]

Ok, so what is your question?

[Telemachus]

About the profiles? Any changes I make don't get updated. I suspect that I should probably be asking on another forum

[Artak]

What profile? Where?  
You mean in OFP?

[fragsta]

I don't understand. What is this topic about? Helicopters or profiles?
