NewsHeli 0.2.0.0

Thank you for bringing this back!!  Love the van option too.

Thanks for the update / processing! Is there also a way to follow the news on a specific radio station? 🙂

Brilliant! Cant wait to try it

how did you make the photo

I have to admit,  this sounds very intriguing @Yasd appreciate all of the work you put into this.

Is it possible to add the ability for us to choose which model spawns for each?

UPDATE: Sorry, I found it in the xml, not in the ini

heyy man, this is just my suggestion can you also add voiceovers during the pursuit and some commentaries while the pursuit is on-going, that would be great addition to your plugin thankssss:))

Sounds cool will give this a try also is it possible when you are on scene for the van to stop and have the news crew from van film the scene I think that would be cool if they get out of the van and do the camera animation with a reporter standing in front of camera like if they are reporting the incident.

I think my suggestion would attract even more people to download your mod if you can do it

We use to have a plugin sort of like this several years ago.  It was called "Police Tool Box" or something like that.  However, the player would have to select that in the menu and have the news crew show up.  The news crew van would show up and it would have 2 people I think,  one was broadcasting with microphone and the other had a camera 😉  

Can we see what it looks like in-game? I like to preview what I am installing before putting it into my game. Especially with an AI generated image. Thanks.

Possible future feature: weazel news visual (live camera from the chopper), settable by by pressing "V" key?

That's actually pretty cool. It would be nice to have a random chance of the helicopter/van actually spawning, instead of just setting a static timer for it. High speeds/crashes could raise the chance of them spawning, being more dynamic than it is currently, but I can see how that could be very hard to implement.

if you use this turn off the van unless you want to pitted or you suspect pitted

Can you make the driver of news van drive smarter? They crash into everything, even the police when we making the arrest :)))

When i call for air support now all of a sudden my game crashes and i have a feeling it has something to do with this. How can this be fixed?

A liiiitle bit late to the party but this is a great idea. I'd love to hear that too. Talk about immersion.

Lovely mod but somehow I cannot hear the new dispatch audio when helicopter arrives - is there something I need to edit?

I really like this plugin, but I'd love it if it also came with a police option to spawn a police chopper a certain amount of time after the chase begins. The reasoning for this is  so you don't lose the suspect, and at night to follow and see the car better during and after the chase and arrest. Plus the spot does look cool. News Van could still come rollin in hot tho
