The autopilot system allows pilots and co-pilots to lock the helicopter into a stable, stationary hover at the press of a button.
Activating Autopilot
Press X while in the pilot or co-pilot seat.
What happens:
- The helicopter smoothly decelerates from its current speed
- It transitions into a locked hover
- Once stable, it holds altitude, heading, and XY position
The HUD displays autopilot status so both pilot and co-pilot can see whether it is active.
Disengaging Autopilot
Press X again, or apply any control input — autopilot releases immediately and returns full control to the pilot.
Automatic Autopilot Engagement
Autopilot engages automatically if the pilot voluntarily exits the helicopter while airborne. This prevents the aircraft from flying away unmanned.
If the pilot is killed while in their seat, autopilot does not engage. The helicopter continues on its last heading until someone takes control or it crashes.
Server Configuration
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|
CZH_autoPilotEnabled | 1 = autopilot works normally. 0 = disabled server-wide — the X key does nothing. | 1 |
CZH_autoPilotEnabled = 0 in mod_config.json to disable autopilot on your server entirely.
