First, a note - this is not my mod. The developer, EMB4, is Japanese and doesn't speak English. As such, he gave me permission quite a while ago to share the mod on his behalf on PMC, Minecraft Forums and also Curse. You may notice that this is a new thread - the original one on MC Forums was not posted by me and I believe was not a legit post at all, and as such was taken down.
Permission to repost this directly from EMB4 can be seen here:link.
Now, onwards to the post! I'll keep it short here. Full details can be read on Curse.
Please read the installation instructions at the bottom before downloading - it's slightly different to normal Forge mods!
MC Helicopter, as the name suggests, is about helicopters! It's also got planes, cars, high-powered turbo goats, huge turrets and cannons and just about anything else you could possibly want. Everything is rendered with high-def object models, and there's a huge focus on realism and handling leading to very interesting dogfights.
Most vehicles are military, but there are some civilian ones included too.
Also, it's got an asset system, so you can (relatively) easily add your own custom vehicles!
A picture speaks a thousand words, so here's 5,000 words:
There's tonnes more vehicles than that, these are just examples!
If you have any feedback, suggestions or comments, leave them below and I'll do my best to pass them onto EMB4. Please note he doesn't accept vehicle requests - only features and ideas! The point is we're supposed to make new vehicles ourselves
Installation
Installation is NOT like normal Forge mods, but is still very easy!
You will download a .zip file. All you need to do is UNZIP it, and place the "mcheli" folder directly in your mods folder. If it's zipped up, the game can't read the model files, so you won't get any vehicles loaded.
Modpack Usage
Modpack usage is fine, but please make sure you link back to either this or his thread. I suggest linking here, so other users can access the English stuff (and I link to his anyway.) Obviously you can't make money off the modpack though
Alternate Minecraft Versions
There are versions dating back as far as 1.5. If you want them, you'll have to visit the Japanese site - I only post the latest ones. If demand is high, I will happily backport the latest release for old versions of Minecraft for you, but I can't imagine them being used much.
As for 1.8 and 1.9 - Minecraft changed a lot of stuff in how things render which requires a HUGE rewrite in mods like MCHeli. The Japanese modding community is much like the western one - many of them decided to stick with 1.7.10 for now. If EMB4 releases 1.8+ versions I'll be sure to let you know, but a poll on his thread suggested 1.7.10 is vastly more popular to release for.
The pictures are working, and I am having some issues when Smart Moving and MC Helicopters are both installed.
For some reason, when Smart Moving is installed, always when I go as a Gunner of any Helicopter or a Plane, (also Tanks and Defenses), the HUD is always zoomed.
The only tank this doesn't happen is the T-90 MBT.
> The attachments below have 2 examples of this. (One with SM, and another without).
Unfortunately due to how they both work Smart Moving and MCHeli are incompatible with one another. In fact I'm amazed you managed to get in-game at all...
I've found a way to go around this issue, the Smart Moving has a key to disable/enable it while in-game, so you can disable while inside a vehicle and enable when outside.
This also works on multiplayer (I've tested with a friend).

If you're any good with Java and Smart Moving is open source, you could make a small addon mod which detects when you're in a vehicle and disables it automatically just check if the mounted entity class equals any of the MCHeli vehicle classes (There's seperate each for plane/heli/tank/turret) and when true, toggle the option in smart moving.
I love this mod, but when i added to a mod pack (Project Greg) when i start flying/driving a vehicle it starts to rubber band which is extremely annoying. I have installed it mod to many other modpacks with no problems. If you know any mods that could have a issue with mcheli and i can check if i have them installed
Rubber banding is normally caused by lag more than anything else - and is more common on servers than clients. If you're on a server it could be almost anything. The only mod known to cause issues currently is Smart Moving, but that doesn't mean it's the only one.
This doesn't work, I put the folder in the mod folder (unzipped) and when I loaded Minecraft, it said three mods loaded, and when I got into the world, I went into my inventory and nothing from the mod was showing up.

Try putting a different mod in the mods folder, it sounds like you may be loading the wrong game instance? Even if installed wrong MCHeli will still load, you just won't have any planes - the creative tabs will still be there and you'd still get smoke grenades, drafting table and so on.
I went into the configs and found a line "enabledCullingTweaks" and I set it to "false". Default it is set to "true". You may get some lag from having this disabled. But, it's bound to happen. It's something that tries to prevent lag so disabling it will of course cause some lag. So if anyone else is having this problem, that is what you do

Yo, how can i make the car swing a little faster and better? On my server i use the Roadworks mod, and i have T-cross sections and swings where you swing instantly left/right, and the car just cannot make the swing as good. I would also like the car to work like the tank where you can see a meter of your speed, as the tanks seem to work much better at handling speed differences, unlike the car (Nissan Skyline), which seems to either be at full speed or stopped, just tapping W makes it go relatively fast, and one more time makes it go even faster, which is INSANE when you try to cut very sharp swings (t-sections/cross), as you just drive off the road (my roads are already 3 blocks wide, on a highway 5 with 2 lanes).

Oh and btw, what are the entities for the vehicles called so that i can let OpenModularTurrets or TF2 turrets kill the vehicles? I am just curios since i want to protect my spawn from any kind of vehicles, so i need some kind of kill barrier. I tried adding "McHeliDummyEntity", but that did not work. What do i have to enter to kill a vehicle instantly with a kill barrier, for example on Cauldron servers with WGE (WorldGuardEliminate) or alike.
I keep getting an OpenGL error. . . It is in the log. Not sure it is this mod though. . .

This is a very well made and very cool mod, thank you for creating this post.
And (at least for me...) the pictures are missing.

Oh well, I wasn't expecting this. xD
I've tried searching through forums and other websites, but never found anything like that. This issue also happened with me on version 1.6.4.
Anyway, thank you for clarifying that.

Does anyone know of a way to fix the issue between FastCraft and MCHeli?
EDIT : Nevermind, after tweaking with Configs, I found out how to fix it
What exactly did you change? I don't use FC personally so it'd be good to pass on the info to other players
