NFSMW - Helicopter Options
This mod is made for players and pursuit modders who want the helicopter to feel less passive, more consistent, and more useful during chases. It gives the heli its own editable INI options for movement, acceleration, braking behavior, ram/skid-hit behavior, heli-sheet handling, visibility behavior, and other experimental tuning.
Features:
- Configurable helicopter movement and acceleration behavior
- Optional braking and pursuit-following adjustments
- Optional ram / skid-hit cone tuning
- Lead and height tuning for how the heli follows the player
- HeliSheet options to reduce idle hovering caused by stale elevation data
- SeeThroughWalls option to help stop the heli from losing sight of the player in tunnels or blocked areas
- Optional exit behavior edits
- Optional speed and vision tuning
- Simple INI setup
- Works as an ASI mod
Installation:
[list=1]

INI Sections:
[Patches::Core]
Main patch toggles for the mod.
[Chopper::Skid]
Controls ram / skid-hit behavior.
[Chopper::LeadHeight]
Controls how the heli follows, leads, and positions itself around the player.
[Chopper::Movement]
Controls helicopter movement, acceleration, turning, and follow behavior.
[Chopper::Exit]
Controls optional helicopter exit behavior edits.
[Chopper::HeliSheet]
Controls heli-sheet handling. These options can help stop the heli from being held back by old elevation data near bridges, ramps, and interchanges.
[Chopper::Speed]
Optional speed tuning. This section should be adjusted carefully.
[Chopper::Vision]
Controls visibility behavior. SeeThroughWalls can help prevent the heli from losing sight of the player in tunnels, behind walls, or blocked areas.
Notes:
- This mod can make the police helicopter more aggressive depending on your INI settings.
- Some options are experimental and should be changed carefully.
- Multiple helicopters are not officially supported by the base game and may phase through each other.
