Introduction
I have noticed many players, even some veterans, blown away by parking an Attack Helicopter in a heli garage, just as you'd do with a minicopter.
As people keep having stuff stolen from their attack helis, I'd like to divulge this useful info for our fellow pilots that are not aware of this trick.
Requirements
- As a minimum a 2x4 space. However, I recommend making it longer by one, even two spaces, just for mobility's sake
- Said garage to be filled with Wall Frames. This one is optional, bear in mind, but I've learnt to build this way to avoid the heli going off-course. It is your choice whether you'll need them and/or if you'll upgrade them.
To park you just do the usual "Ctrl" to drive in a straight line. If the attack heli starts levitating/tilting, alternate back to normal flying to stabilize it in the ground. Repeat until you're able to get your attack heli inside/outside. You'll get the hang of it very quickly.
Caveats
- (uncertain how and whether it works) Garage doors have a sliiight chance of crushing your heli. Take this with a grain of salt, as this has only happened to me once, almost a year ago. I can't replicate the circumstances.
- Might be harder, slightly, to open/close garage door without leaving heli.
- Building will be blocked in a bigger area while parked inside. Slight annoyance, you'll see if that annoys you.
Conclusion
With the info provided, though not too detailed, I trust you can have more measures to avoid griefing/stealing from your helicopter.
I hope this helps you to better secure your attack helis.
Take it or leave it, and share it with your peers if you wish to.
Stay RustEZ, Jeff
