A list of helicopters and their allowed use in Theseus operations, how well they support Advanced Flight Model (AFM), ACE3 fast-roping and other information.

  • Only important for the helicopters players use (what the AI uses does not matter).
  • Standard helicopters are marked with a 🚁, they should be used in Contracts as per the Theseus SOP.
    • Compositions with standard helicopters are available in the Mission Template.
  • Mouse over the helicopter name to see the class name form.
  • If a helicopter is missing, leave a message in #mission-making channel on Slack.
  • ✔️ All features work, all advanced handling elements (VRS, rotor loss, RPM limits), stability and animations are present.
    • Ideal choice everywhere.
  • ➕ All features work, but advanced handling elements, stability or animations are not present.
    • Good choice everywhere.
  • ➖ One or more features (analog throttle, gauges, sounds) does not work or is missing.
    • Non-Contracts only! Avoid if possible (allowed as switch to SFM is automatic).
    • Must be noted in the mission briefing if used!
  • 💥 Helicopter explodes on entry if player/client has AFM enabled.
    • Banned! Exploding helicopters are useless, switching to SFM is easily forgotten.
