Helicopters don't exist. Can't change flight model in 1.26.
New, WishlistPublic

Description

I know this is not a support platform, but it might be a issue with the Game Updater. I can't change the flight model in the Game menu. It shows the options but its completely blank. Also, I can't see or use helicopters at all. They completely don't exist. I try to force myself into a helicopter through script, ( using moveInCargo ) that didn't work. Tried playing as a helicopter, all I saw is the sky.

Additional Information

I wanted to update to the latest dev branch some time ago and steam wouldn't let. I tried using the Game Updater and I ended up having to do the whole game download since I made a mistake and installed the main branch instead. So I ended up having 1.24 Main Branch update ( which had a config glitch ) and the Dev Branch. I got both on the latest update, 1.26, and the dev branch is 1.27 or 1.28 something like that. After I updated my main branch to 1.26, I couldn't see helicopters. It may be because I used the Game Updated to download the Main Branch in the first place... maybe it didn't download properly, but the all the main pbo's are in the Addons folder, and the Arma 3 exe seems fine.

Found out it was a problem with my 1.26 exe. Tried it with the dev branch exe and it worked. Anywhere I can download the 1.26 exe alone? If its allowed...

The new flight model (advanced) is not yet available in the stable branch.

If you have issues with the stable branch v.1.26, verify you local data and defrag your hdd. (read http://dev.arma3.com/post/spotrep-00030)

Please reply, if you still have problems.

Hello,
I cannot reproduce the problem, is it still valid for you?

I verified my local data and the game worked properly again, thanks.
