Helicopter Fix - Project Viewpoint

ViewpointHeli is a Java-based modification for Project Zomboid that expands the flight capabilities of helicopters using Aviation Core and Project Viewpoint.

The patch raises the maximum flight speed and altitude limits, allowing compatible aircraft to travel faster and climb higher than under the original restrictions.

It is designed specifically for 3D gameplay, where the Viewpoint camera system supports the increased flight height.

Main Features

The addon focuses on two improvements:

• Increased flight speed - Helicopters can travel faster, making long-distance flights less time-consuming.
• Higher maximum altitude - Aircraft can climb beyond their previous height limits.

These changes extend the existing aviation system rather than introducing a new helicopter or separate flight mechanics.

The modification operates as a Java patch that works with the underlying aircraft and rendering systems.

Required Mods

ViewpointHeli is intended to work with two components:

1. Aviation Core - The shared framework responsible for flight systems and aircraft behavior.
2. Project Viewpoint - The 3D viewing system required for higher-altitude flight.

A compatible helicopter modification is also needed to provide an aircraft.

ViewpointHeli does not add helicopters by itself.

Important: 3D Mode Only

The increased flight limits are designed exclusively for the 3D viewing mode.

Standard isometric gameplay is not supported.

If a helicopter climbs too far above the ground while using the isometric perspective, the screen may turn completely black.

For this reason, use the patch only with a correctly configured 3D camera setup.

Compatibility and Limitations

The description does not specify exact speed increases, altitude values or adjustable configuration options.

It also does not confirm multiplayer compatibility or provide separate test results for individual Project Zomboid builds.

ViewpointHeli is a focused enhancement for players who already use compatible aviation mods and want fewer restrictions during flight. By increasing speed and altitude, it expands the possibilities for aerial exploration while relying on the existing helicopter systems.
