The MD500 Civilian is a small, light helicopter with open sides. There is no enclosed cabin, so the front and rear seats are both out in the weather. It is one of the quickest to get started and feels light and responsive to fly. The pilot sits on the left.

Variants

​
Doors

The MD500 has four doors, one per seat. Take a door off and it drops as an item you can pick up, carry or leave where it lands. Each colour variant has its own door classnames — add the livery to the end, for example CZ_MD500_Civilian_Pilot_ClassicRedSilver or CZ_MD500_Civilian_Cargo2_GreenTour. Put these in your types.xml if you want helicopters to spawn with their doors fitted.

​
Chin Camera

The pilot or co-pilot can look through the sensor ball under the nose with J: day, night vision and thermal, zoom up to 40x, and lock onto a point on the ground. The ball turns with you, and other players see it move. The seat flying the aircraft needs Auto Hover or the autopilot on. See Chin Camera.

​
Default Flight Tuning

These are indicative dev-tuned defaults and can change between builds — the in-game Admin Panel always shows the live per-helicopter values.
See Per-Helicopter Settings for a full description of every parameter.
