I believe you're thinking of
Conjured Entertainment's Chopper thread that he started a while back.
machinimagames: As far as I know, so far, there aren't any helicopters, tanks, etc. that can be ridden. That's sort of an area people haven't explored in FPSC yet. I'm sure one day it will get there however!
There are tons of models you could procure however; especially in the Gamecreators Store in FPSCreator. There are some great helicopter and tank models I've purchased in there. (Including even an animated helicopter by DarkOwen if that peaks your interest).
Then, there are clever approaches to this that forum members like Godzilla have taken in their games, to give the idea that the player is riding in a helicopter to add a story element - you can check out his solution and get an idea how he did it by watching the video in his
WIP thread here. The youtube link is imbedded in a post about 3/4 down the page.
That's as far as I can help, hopefully you have some direction where to go with this now.
Cheers
Life would be much easier if I had the source code.
