I am getting the same error, after enabling Helicopters on a 0.17.36 game. Only happens on take-off.

I've also noticed that after I deploy the helicopter, and enter it and then leave it w/o attempting takeoff, the player gets stuck in a rectangle about the size of the helicopter.

this error happends because WUBE renamed global variable 'player' to 'character' ... after pooking around in code i managed to get it sort of working (aka: game loads) but it crashes randomly on entering heli (and probably also on other cases i didnt check ...)

@sango74 I have mostly fixed it but cant upload it as I am not the mod creator - if you go through & change the "player" entity to "character" in the logic files & control.lua it should work fine

Remote management does work, game does not take off. Shift+F works. Manual control works. Just change the file. https://yadi.sk/d/gAq4erQkTZwJpQ

I have since also fixed the remote cameras to follow the helicopters while moving.
