FAQ
Q: I can’t seem to find where I can build the helicopter after researching it?
A: Make sure SRTS Mod is loaded before the SRTS – Helicopters Mod.
Q: What’s the difference between Precision Run Cap and Bombing Run Cap?
A: Precision Run Cap determines how many bombs the helicopter will drop during precision runs, while Bombing Run Capacity determines how many bombs it will carpet bomb during bombing runs.
Q: Can I add this mod mid-save?
A: There should not be an issue with adding the SRTS – Helicopters Mod mid-save.
Q: Can I remove this mod mid-save?
A: Removing mods mid-save is not recommended, but it should be fine if you really want to remove it.
Q: Why isn’t my helicopter dropping bombs?
A: The helicopter uses mortar shells in its inventory to bomb, so make sure to load the helicopter with the appropriate shell you want to use.
Q: Can I suggest a helicopter?
A: Suggestions are allowed, but do not expect a reply or acknowledgment. They may be considered, but the author’s schedule and other projects may make them unfeasible.
