Description

Description:
Sets the flying altitude for aircraft relatively to the ground surface. Avoid too low altitudes, as helicopters and planes won't evade trees and obstacles on the ground. The default flying altitude is 100 meters.
ⓘ
Height measurement is relative to the pilot and can be approximated with ASLToAGL eyePos driver _aircraft;.
Groups:
Object Manipulation

Syntax

Syntax:
aircraft flyInHeight altitude
Parameters:
aircraft: Object
altitude: Number - flying altitude in meters
Return Value:
Nothing

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:
aircraft flyInHeight [altitude, forced]
Parameters:
aircraft: Object
altitude: Number - flying altitude in meters
forced: Boolean - true to force altitude in all cases, false to behave like main syntax
Return Value:
Nothing

Examples

Example 1:
_helicopter flyInHeight 40;
Example 2:
// for altitudes below 10m _helicopter flyInHeight 5; // helicopter will land _helicopter flyInHeight [5, true]; // helicopter will hover at 5m altitude // on a landed helicopter _helicopter flyInHeight 50; // helicopter will not move until a waypoint is added _helicopter flyInHeight [50, true]; // helicopter will start to rise immediately

If a helo has no waypoints, it will assume a low hover without regard to this setting.
