Where Are the Config Files?
All config files are automatically generated on the first server start at:
$profile: refers to your DayZ server profile directory — the folder that contains your BattlEye, mpmissions, and .RPT log files.
File List
Each helicopter variant gets its own JSON config file. With 19 spawnable variants across 6 helicopters, you will see 19 individual config files plus mod_config.json for global settings.

How to Edit
- Navigate to
$profile:\CZAutoz_Heli\
- Open the JSON file for the helicopter you want to adjust in any text editor
- Change the values
- Restart the server — changes only take effect on next start
Per-helicopter flight values (flight.liftMultiplier, control.pitchStrength, control.bankStrength, etc.) are pre-tuned by the development team and are not recommended to change. Modifying them can result in helicopters that are difficult or impossible to fly. Adjust at your own risk.
The global settings in mod_config.json (cargo modules, repair, toggles, logging) are completely safe to adjust — they don’t affect flight behaviour.
How to Reset to Defaults
Delete the helicopter’s JSON file and restart. It will be regenerated with all default values.
Config Reset on Version Update
When the mod updates to a new version, every config is regenerated from defaults — both mod_config.json and all per-helicopter files. This keeps your configs in sync with new and changed keys.
- All existing configs are backed up automatically first to
$profile:\CZAutoz_Heli\Backups\v<oldversion>_<date>\
- Configs are then regenerated from defaults — your custom values are not carried over (only
client_prefs.json is preserved)
- Re-apply your settings and per-helicopter tuning after updating — copy them back from the backup folder
The reset is triggered by the version field stored in mod_config.json. Do not manually edit it — changing it forces a full config reset (your current configs are backed up first, but everything reverts to defaults).
Configuration Reference
The full configuration reference lives on this documentation site — see Global Settings for mod_config.json and Per-Helicopter Settings for the per-variant files.
The old in-game $profile:\CZAutoz_Heli\Guide\ reference folder is no longer generated as of v0.2 — all configuration documentation now lives here on the docs site.
