I have problems with the despawn timer

Somehow I seem to be overlooking or not understanding something.
We have set the despawn timer to 1800
“Despawn timer”: 1800.0,
But the helicopter leaves the map anyway, much earlier with the message
“low on fuel and aborts the mission to return to base”.
I would be grateful if you could help me

Yes, this is probably due to the default heli lifetime for vanilla helis being set at default value. There is a server convar for this value "heli.lifetimeminutes".

I will address this in a future update, but for now try setting this convar to the longest you will need for your heli profiles (set to the highest despawn time you use) in your startup or server.cfg file. Remeber the convar is minutes, not seconds.

Changed Status from Pending to Closed

Ok thanks for the quick reply, I will try that.

convar set to 30 minutes.
still leaves after 20 minutes.

Then your players are not doing very well and leaving the heli for too long without attacking it, unless its retiring in the middle of a fight. In which case either a player in the team is using the retire command or another plugin is interfering with it
