Summary
On-call AI helicopter extraction and an armed AI ground convoy (QRF) for every player. Call them from chat, your radio, the command menu or the map, on PC and console.
Description
SkyCab Extraction puts AI support on call for every player: a helicopter that picks you up and flies you anywhere, and a QRF convoy of armed vehicles that fights its way to you when your team is being overrun. The crews fly, drive and shoot; you just call. Made by Warhawk Division for its own servers.
THREE CALL SIGNS
Chariot - transport helicopter: get picked up, or get a ride anywhere on the map.
Dustoff - the same helicopter on a medical flight, for casualties.
Bulldog - QRF ground convoy: AI-crewed gun vehicles drive to you on the roads, their gunners fight while you mount up, and they drive you to the nearest friendly base. Or they hold your position and fight beside you for 5 minutes.
FIVE WAYS TO CALL (PC AND CONSOLE)
- Chat (PC): /extract, /lift, /dustoff, /qrf, /qrf hold, /flyto marker, /flyto nearest, /land, /rtb, /waveoff.
- Radio menu: hold your switched-on radio and inspect it (R / Y / Triangle), then pick a SkyCab call.
- Command menu: hold ` (PC) or D-pad right + LB/L1 (controller), open SkyCab > Chariot, Dustoff or QRF.
- Map menu: right-click (PC) or X/Square (controller) a spot on the map > SkyCab > Pick up here, Fly here or Hold here.
- Your own buttons: Settings > Controls > SkyCab. Every call can be bound; none are set by default.
THE HELICOPTER
- Throw green, violet, yellow or red smoke within 50 m and it lands on the smoke. White smoke is ignored, so you can screen and mark at the same time. Or pick the spot on the map, up to 500 m away.
- It picks clear, flat ground away from trees, buildings, masts and vehicles. If the only clear spot is sloped it holds a low hover; if nothing is clear it tells you the LZ is fouled.
- 90 seconds to board. Send it anywhere with a map marker, "Fly here" on the map, or to the nearest base. /land sets it down at the nearest clear ground.
- Under fire it goes evasive, comes in hot on final approach, and aborts if badly damaged. It does not fight back and can be shot down.
- Two helicopters per side at a time (Chariot 1-1 and 1-2).
THE QRF CONVOY
- Picks you up on the nearest road (within 300 m), marked on your map as QRF PICKUP. It arrives from out of sight, about 1.2 km away.
- On site it halts with its guns covering the area: 120 seconds to mount up, or move out early with /rtb.
- After the drop-off the vehicles lock and drive away out of sight. Players can never drive or keep a QRF vehicle.
- If a vehicle is lost or stuck, the crew tells you to move to the next one. If the convoy can't get through, it turns back and your cooldown is not charged.
RADIO AND RULES
- Every call is answered by a recorded voice over the radio and in chat. Your whole side hears it; only the caller and the passengers can give orders.
- You need a radio, switched on, to call. Passengers don't.
- After your run ends you wait 5 minutes before calling again (shared between helicopter and QRF).
FOR SERVER ADMINS
- Script mod: works on Conflict, modded Conflict and custom scenarios, with vanilla or modded factions. Depends only on Arma Reforger.
- Everything is set in profile/SkyCab/config.json, written on first run and updated automatically: helicopter and pilot per faction, how many at once, radio frequency, and every QRF setting (vehicles, crew, limits, timers, seat lock, cooldown).
- The QRF uses the vehicles you list in config.json; their mod must be loaded on the server. Without them, /qrf answers "no QRF available" and everything else works as normal.
- The QRF needs maps with a proper road network and vehicle navmesh, like any AI driving.
- Every call is written to the server log with the prefix [SkyCab].

SKYCAB EXTRACTION LICENSE
Version 1.0, October 2026
Copyright (c) 2026 Warhawk Division. All rights reserved.
This license covers the Arma Reforger mod SkyCab_Extraction (Workshop name SkyCab Extraction),
including its scripts, configuration files, documentation and any future updates published under
this license (together, the "Mod"). "Warhawk Division", "we" and "us" mean the Warhawk Division
gaming community that publishes the Mod. "You" means anyone who downloads, installs or uses it.
1. WHAT YOU MAY DO
1. Play on our servers. You may download, install and load the Mod only so that you can join
and play on game servers run by or for Warhawk Division ("Authorized Servers"). Arma Reforger
downloads the Mod automatically when you join one, and that is permitted.
2. Bohemia Interactive may host, distribute and display the Mod on the Arma Reforger Workshop.
Nothing in this license limits any right Bohemia Interactive has under the Arma Reforger End
User License Agreement, the Arma Reforger Tools End User License Agreement or the Arma
Reforger Workshop Terms of Use.
Everything not listed in this section is reserved by Warhawk Division.
2. WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO
Unless Warhawk Division gives you written permission first, you may not:
1. Run, host or load the Mod on any server other than an Authorized Server.
2. Copy, modify, adapt, translate, decompile, or extract the Mod's scripts or other files, or
create derivative works from it.
3. Re-upload, mirror, repack or redistribute the Mod, in whole or in part, including inside
mod packs, other mods, or as a dependency of another mod.
4. Use the Mod, or anything made from it, commercially, or monetize it directly or indirectly.

military, professional, occupational or educational training.
7. Remove or change this license or any copyright notice in the Mod.
3. DATA THE MOD RECORDS
On Authorized Servers the Mod writes lines to the game server's own log file when someone uses
it: the player ID and in-game name of the player who typed a SkyCab chat command, which command
it was and any text typed after it, the map positions involved (landing zones, the home base and
the helicopter), and the radio messages the helicopter sent. Warhawk Division server staff use
these lines to find and fix problems. The Mod does not send anything off the server, and it does
not record IP addresses, Bohemia account identity IDs, chat messages other than its own commands,
or anything from your computer. How the Warhawk Division servers handle their logs is set out in
the Privacy Policy on the Warhawk Division website.
4. BOHEMIA INTERACTIVE
The Mod is published on the Arma Reforger Workshop and must be used in line with the Arma Reforger
End User License Agreement, the Arma Reforger Tools End User License Agreement and the Workshop

license grants no rights in Bohemia Interactive's games, tools or content. Bohemia Interactive is
not a party to this license and is not responsible for the Mod.
5. OTHER MODS
The Mod can be set to use helicopters, characters or factions from other Workshop mods that a
server already loads. Those mods remain their authors' property and are covered by their own
licenses. This license grants no rights in them, and the Mod contains none of their files.

8. NO WARRANTY
The Mod is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Warhawk Division is a

open one such as the Arma Public License Share Alike (APL-SA). Each version is covered by the
license it was published with.
