Bell 47 Helicopter

1.0.19

Float version: 6 passenger seats on the floats (3 per side, facing outward, legs over the side). Look at a spot on a float to get in; getting out puts you beside the helicopter on that side.

1.0.18

Float version: fixes the looping stutter while bobbing on water in multiplayer. Client-side prediction is back on (smooth bobbing like singleplayer) and the server now tolerates the small wave differences instead of correcting them. Local server + client test: 2 small jolts in 40 s on the water (1.0.17: ~90, 1.0.16: ~190).

1.0.17

Float version: fixes the jitter on water in multiplayer. While the floats are in the water the pilot's client no longer predicts the helicopter (that fought the server's float physics); normal prediction returns a second after lifting off. Verified in a local server + client test: 0 position snaps (was about one per second).

1.0.16

WCS compatibility: the WCS flare dispensers the Bell inherits from the UH-1H are now fully removed (detached and deleted by the server), not just hidden. Their merged physics is the likely cause of the jitter/flips on water in multiplayer with WCS. Float version: water impact damage is back (safe up to ~3 m/s sink rate, destroyed at 9 m/s).

1.0.15

Reverted the float version to the 1.0.6 build (original float script, no water damage).

1.0.14

Float version: now floats with the game engine's own vehicle buoyancy (tuned for the floats) instead of a script. Should fix the jitter on water in multiplayer; rides the waves, glides on the water, swimmers can dive under, Engine Off works on water.

1.0.13

Float version: fixes the helicopter repeatedly falling on the water in multiplayer (float forces apply on every machine again; client-side prediction stays paused while the floats are in the water).

1.0.12

Float version: wave floating is back (rides the waves, swimmers can dive under). Multiplayer jitter fix: float forces are applied by the server only, and the pilot's client-side prediction is paused while the floats are in the water.

1.0.11

Float version: new water contact - floats rest on a solid surface at sea level instead of script buoyancy. Fixes jitter on water in multiplayer and the missing Engine Off prompt.

1.0.10

Reverted float version to 1.0.6 behaviour (removed water impact damage).
