With full permission from the original creators, i am releasing a mod that improves the handling and speed of the various flying vehicles released for this game.
Important: YOU NEED TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL MOD INSTALLED BEFORE INSTALLING ANY OF MY FIXES!!
Make sure to replace the files when your PC asks you to do so!
List of Changes
Bdubs Vehicles
UH-60 Black Hawk
Improved handling, climb rate and top speed, just enough for it to feel like a big, fat helicopter moving through the air.
MD-500
Significantly improved handling, climb rate and top speed, this will now feel like a proper small and agile helicopter.
Duster
Slow accelleration initially but highest top speed, significantly improved handling, should be also easier to take off.
Other Vehicles
Mi-24 Hind
Improved handling, climb rate and top speed, just enough for it to feel like a big, fat helicopter moving through the air.
(uses Bdubs helicopters flying style and controls)
TrotterV4
Significantly improved handling, climb rate and top speed, this will now feel like a proper small and agile helicopter.
Helicopter
Significantly improved handling, climb rate and top speed, all of these values are about 25% less than the ones on the MD-500.
AH-64 Apache
Significantly improved handling, climb rate and top speed, all of these values are about 25% less than the ones on the MD-500.
Can now be used without all its dependencies! No more errors spammed in the console.
Ansat Helicopter
Added compatibility for update 1.0 and tweaked a few extra settings
Mi-17(A20)
Improved handling, climb rate and top speed, just enough for it to feel like a big, fat helicopter moving through the air.
(uses Bdubs helicopters flying style and controls)
Chopper1(A20)
Significantly improved handling, climb rate and top speed, this will now feel like a proper small and agile helicopter.
(uses Bdubs helicopters flying style and controls)
Wito’s Fly
V-22 Osprey
Removed engines movement when turning left or right, replaced current controls with a more classic helicopter flying style, since the Osprey is a hybrid, it has a higher max speed than the other transport helos, closer to the one of the lighter helicopters.
Black Panter
Improved handling, climb rate and top speed, just enough for it to feel like a big, fat helicopter moving through the air.
Known Issues
- Duster can still fly with 0% fuel or 0% health, although way less manouverable and fast it can get you somewhere. Do with this information as you will. Occasionally while driving the duster on the ground your FPS will drop down to literally 1 or 2, just exit the vehicle and re-enter to fix.
- When joining the world, the AH-64 will shoot a pair of missiles, this is just a visual thing and won’t affect the gameplay, it happens only once everytime you join the world, so don’t worry!
Completely safe to install on an existing save.

Not quite sure how to install. I only have bdubsvehicles, so do I just move the bdubsvehicles file into the mods folder?
yes
and replace files when asked to do so
I did the same thing.. is it recommended to start a new game save?
i can’t interact with the MD-500 keeps popping an error.
it should work just fine in an existing game save.
Are you using standalone mods or the complete pack? If you want help, i need context
