Make an AI helicopter to hover

example of how to make an AI helicopter to hover

Here is an easy trick to make your AI helicopter to remain stationary above a waypoint.

Place your helicopter on the map and set the usual options like Country, Type, Skill etc .... Create a flight plan. Use as much of waypoints as you want.
Select the waypoint where you want your helicopter to remain stationary and click on ADD in advanced waypoint actions
Select the following settings : TYPE - Perform Task , ACTION - Orbit , SPEED - 0 and set the ALTITUDE to wathever altitude you want the helicopter to hover
Optionnaly you can add a stop condition to make it stop the hover and proceed with the rest of his flight plan (in this example I've set up a duration of 2 mn which mean that when the Gazelle will reach waypoint 2 she will hover for 2 mn before proceding to waypoint 3)
