AirOne - Police Helicopter Air Unit

Take to the skies as your department's air unit. Follow pursuits from above, track suspects with a FLIR camera and searchlight, and run air search callouts built for helicopter patrol.

FEATURES

Helicopter Camera (FLIR)

- Uses GTA's own helicopter camera overlay

- Mouse to look, scroll to zoom, thermal and night vision modes

- Lock onto any vehicle or person, or mark a position on the ground

- Live target panel: vehicle, plate, speed, direction, street and range

- The helicopter holds a hover automatically while you're on the camera

Searchlight & Autopilot

- Searchlight follows your camera aim, or your locked target when the camera is closed

- Hover autopilot holds your position

- Orbit autopilot circles your locked target or marked position

Pursuit Support

- Joins LSPDFR pursuits automatically when you're in a helicopter

- While you keep a visual on the suspect, LSPDFR treats you as an officer with eyes on them, so they can't escape

- Radio updates with direction, street, area and speed

- Bail-outs are called out instantly

- Lose sight and you get a "last known area" circle to search

- Request a ground unit or EMS Code 3 to your target from the menu

Air Unit Menu (F7)

- Deploy a police Maverick at one of six bases: Mission Row PD roof, Pillbox Medical roof, LSIA, Vespucci Heliport, Sandy Shores Airfield or Paleto Bay Sheriff

- Toggle the searchlight, set autopilot, give a radio update, request units, set a route back to base, or stand down

CALLOUTS

These are only offered while you're in a helicopter (this can be changed in the INI).

- Air Support Requested (Pursuit): Ground units are chasing a vehicle. Get overhead and keep sight of it.

- Air Search (Suspect on Foot): A suspect is hiding in a search area. Find and identify them with the camera or searchlight, then ground units are sent in for the foot chase. Suspects may be armed.

- Missing Hiker: Search the backcountry, find the injured hiker, land nearby or hover low to winch them aboard, then fly them to the nearest hospital.

- Stolen Vehicle Tracker: GPS pings narrow the search area over time. Find the car, read its plate through the camera to confirm it, and the driver runs once units close in.
