Settings

Models

A comma-separated list of the jet models to be spawned. Add-on jet model names are allowed. Models are selected randomly. Custom weapon are supported, provided you've formatted this setting correctly.

Optional: to make a jet use a custom weapon, format a model name like so: [model_name]:[weapon_name].
For example, if you'd like to use Voltrock & SkylineGTRFreak's F/A-18F Super Hornet as a intercepting jet, but would like the pilot to use his cannon: fa18f:VEHICLE_WEAPON_FA18F_GUN.
Separate your models list using commas like so: models=fa18f:VEHICLE_WEAPON_FA18F_GUN,lazer,hydra.

weapon_name is found in the jet's handling.meta file, under <Item type="CVehicleWeaponHandlingData">.

<SubHandlingData>
  <!-- ... -->
  <Item type="CVehicleWeaponHandlingData">
    <uWeaponHash>
      <Item>VEHICLE_WEAPON_FA18F_GUN</Item>     <!-- these are the weapon names -->
      <Item>VEHICLE_WEAPON_FA18F_ROCKET</Item>
      <Item />
    </uWeaponHash>
    <!-- ... -->

Aircraft Only

If aircraftOnly setting is true, jets will only be scrambled if you are in a helicopter or plane.

Below Radar

If belowRadar setting is true, no jets will be scrambled if you are less than 100 meters above the ground. Any jets already spawned and chasing you will continue to chase you, even if you drop below 100 meters.
This setting applies even if aircraftOnly is false. If you want jets to be scrambled while you're on foot or in a car on the ground, you must set belowRadar=false.

Cheats (shortcuts)

In cheats, type:

• goto lsia, goto zancudo, or goto sandyshores to teleport to an airport
• <x>stars to set wanted level. For example, 3stars will set your wanted level to 3
