• Excellent mod mate. One question though, is it possible for YOU to be the support heli gunner and shoot the Gatling gun?

  August 01, 2020

• @Jack_Carbine are you talking about something like the chopper gunner killstreak in CoD? I got something similar to work while experimenting. I’ll look into it more

• Hi so I´ve been looking for this mod however there is one error in it, I followed all the instructions. These are the errors:

  Unhandled exception in script GFPS.Main

  NullReferenceException in GFPS.StrafeRun.spawnStrafeVehicle(Vector3 formationAnchorPos,Vector3 spawnRotation,int32 n)

  Do you know if there is anything I can do for that? Thanks by the way

• By the way this is the log [02:10:11] [ERROR] Caught fatal unhandled exception:

• This mod is amazing! Simple as hell, and the AI seems smart. When using a bodyguard mod other than the trainer’s, they don’t shoot each other. Perfect for convoys and air support. The helicopters and air strikes even target the zombies when using Simple Zombies. This is a must have, if you want eyes in the sky.

• @Killroyk2 i got the same error @iLike2Teabag can you tell me how to fix it?

  September 19, 2020

• Hi. I would like to solve this problem. So not even attack helicopters on dispatch and on this script AI in helicopters does not use all weapons. I would like to create Native script that would solve this problem. But I dont know how. Or even set up native config. Can I get help for this?

  September 29, 2020

• Hello! how can i disable the helicopter crew and air support? i only want thee strafe run, is there any code ill delete? if so teach me where 🙂

  May 22, 2021

• is the mod dead? apparently the spawn for the b11 is broken and crashes the script. The helis still work tho

  November 15, 2021

• Apologies for disappearing. I just reinstalled the game and this script, and it is working as-is for me, with the latest ScriptHookV.NET release (3.4). Download SHV.NET directly from the GitHub release page.

  @Miss Aqua you can set the activation key to something you don’t use in the .ini. If you really want to completely remove the logic from the script, build it after you remove *HeliHandler.cs files and all references to it.

• @iLike2Teabag I have the epic games version of the game. i have SHV.NET 3.4. Do I need to install the DLCs separately? Or do I not need to do anything?

• @MeReKGs67 are you able to spawn the strikeforce by name or hash? The name is ‘strikeforce’ and the hash should be 1692272545u. If you are and this script still doesn’t work, DM me here or on Discord please.

  January 24, 2022

• Hello @iLike2Teabag my complements your mod is amazing thank you for sharing it here with the GTAV community! I see you are still always updating the mod may I ask if its possible to have the B11 strike force circle around me as well follow me instead of flying away after hitting its target? Just like the heli support you can dismiss when you want. Thank You

  February 15, 2022

• How to use Hunter or other heli instead of the Police heli without the DLCs bcs the only DLC they have in Steam is the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack.

  (For the first time in 8 years I just installed the GTA V btw, if anyone asking.)
