    The parachute prototype can be found here:
    https://www.beamng.com/threads/naval-warfare.87940/page-28#post-1786152
    Please note that the parachute is still experimental. Don't airdrop stuff over water, or at speeds exceeding 180 mph, otherwise the parachute will explode.

    Thank you! :) It's nice to know that folks like the STOL kits. I'll be publishing an STOL kit for the Canadair CL-215 in the next few days, and I'll try to make STOL kits available for other aircraft too.

    I just posted the CL-215 STOL conversion kit. :) It will become available once the admins approve it.

    I modified the spotlight on the Bell 407 so that the player can point it at any other spawned vehicle, and the spotlight will track that vehicle.

    Also, the spotlight has a camera attached, so it's also an auto-tracking camera. :cool: It's very stable.

    What can I do with this?
    • Police chases at night
    • News choppers following police chases (day or night)
    • Search and rescue
    What else?

    I'll be releasing it next weekend. I need to tune it just a little bit more, and I need to build a demo video.

    The auto-tracking spotlight/camera has been released. You can find it within the "Bell 407 Accessories" mod.

    If anybody has time, I was wondering if any officers could test the auto-tracker, please? I received a report from a user that they couldn't get the auto-tracker to work. I'm wondering if anybody else is having issues, and what kind of issues if they are.

    Highbeam I managed to get everything working again but I can't seem to get the spotlight to track on the Bell 407 accessories.

    So, if I understand correctly, the auto-tracking spotlight is installed on the helicopter in the parts selector, but the spotlight stays pointed straight forward; it doesn't track other vehicles. Is this correct?
