Heli Loadout 1.0.0

HeliLoadout is a polished helicopter loadout system for Rust, built to give players a cleaner tactical HUD while giving admins simple control over helicopter weapon and flare support

It focuses on clarity, lightweight performance, and practical in-game configuration without overcomplicating the setup

Features

Tactical Loadout HUD:
Displays helicopter rockets, flares, reload state, and cooldown progress through a compact military-style HUD designed to stay readable without blocking player vision

Attack Helicopter Weapon Support:
Adds improved loadout handling for the Attack Helicopter, including rocket ammo detection, current rocket type display, reload tracking, and flare cooldown monitoring

Rocket Launcher Turret Integration:
Allows the Attack Helicopter turret to use Rocket Launcher loadouts with configurable rocket ammo support, while relying on native game behavior where possible

Supported Helicopters:
Includes configurable support for Attack Helicopter, Minicopter, and Scrap Transport Helicopter, allowing each module to be enabled or disabled independently

In-Game Configuration Panel:
Provides a built-in admin panel for moving the HUD, switching themes, enabling or disabling helicopter modules, and managing Rocket Turret support without manually editing config files

Simple Configuration:
Keeps the config clean and focused, covering HUD position, refresh interval, vehicle modules, rocket launcher support, allowed rocket ammo, and basic display settings
