Title: Anyway to get Heli to land facing certain direction?

I'm trying to get a Heli to land an face a certain direction.  I'm trying to avoid using the invisible H thing.
Any recommendation? ???

Looks great, well done. Could I just make 2 suggestions, though.

1. The shots of it flying were a bit distant, I couldn't really see the chopper. Maybe try adding more but closer ones. Also, the end shot of it landing was too far. Maybe it could be broken down into 2 shots - 1 for the power plant and 1 for the landing itself.

2. You could try adding this script (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=275&page=1&cat=xyz), it makes it look better, and you could try playing around with it. It makes it look more realistic and cooler I think.

Otherwise it's a good solid piece of scripting. I'm sure you could create more!

Thanks for all the ideas.  I've been working on creating better shots.

You've all been a huge help.
