It can already do that Im pretty sure if not mistaken

[pastel garden]

Yeah this is something you can already do in game. so long as the blades are not spinning you can rearm with engines at idle on the Heli. No need to turn off engines.

interesting

i never knew that

imma go try it out

[pastel garden]

Set engine throttle to idle, set rotor brakes, rearm

[spring radish]

Duuuuude I am still learning new things

[sleek walrus]

i just learned the landing light is slaved to the TADS so you can have a search light

[spring radish]

Yes. Other player will only see it slaved to bore sight unfortunately

[sleek walrus]

lame

[dire crown]

Many fixed wing jets can hot pit as well. That would be a nice feature.

[worthy heath]

Takes a lot less time to start the engines on the fixed wings..

As you can start both engines at the same time.

And there’s little spool up time..

The AH94 takes ~1-2 minutes to start up

:/

[tardy anvil]

Yes, but once you re enter the aircraft after rearming, you have to cold start iirc

[quick thistle]

Nope

Just battery on

And turn off the rotorbrakes

Power handle to flight again and good as new

[pastel garden]

The engines stay on (at idle) even with battery off

[broken magnet]

I've always had to wait for the engines to spool down completely!

[quick thistle]

Cause it pretty much tells you too

The voicelines only imply the engines, but in actuallity its just the rotor needs to be off
