Is this old or new PowerUnit logic?

It looks like the original PoweredUnit= logic. (If it is the new PoweredBy= logic, then EMP threshold is also deactivated, otherwise it would destoy the helicopter.)

Try to use PoweredBy= instead of PoweredUnit=. It should crash the unit when in air. (There's a slight issue with this atm, but it will be fixed soon. Unstable build is already available).

I'll expand on the EMP.Threshold= part: since PoweredBy= checks for that tag when disabling the unit, you can customize what happens to your aircraft when it goes offline (so you can make it die, or keep it in air). #Tongue

You should also include making it land safely, if doable.

That's not even possible for ordinary BalloonHover units. Won't happen anytime soon.

Btw. the slight issue I mentioned above is the only thing that keeps Ares 0.2p2 from being released. The faster it is solved the faster I can get back to work on 0.3.

Yeah, after the post of mine, I skyped Geno about this, he confirmed he used old YR logic and he's using Ares PoweredBy logic already with this.
