SkyLift AI helicopter taxi
On-demand helicopter charters with a full AI pilot flight engine — book from the /skylift dashboard, watch the heli land on the pad, board with [E], and fly anywhere on the map. No player pilots needed.
Overview
SkyLift is a complete AI helicopter taxi platform. Players open the sleek /skylift booking dashboard, pick a pickup helipad (sorted nearest-first) and a destination with a live distance-based fare, and confirm. An AI pilot spawns in, flies to the pad, performs a scripted precision touchdown, waits for the passenger to board with [E], flies them across the map, lands, and despawns after they step out.
Features
- Full AI pilot flight engine — spawn, approach, precision pad landing, cruise, drop-off, despawn. No hover-forever AI weirdness.
- Modern dark command-center booking NUI with helipad search, route preview, and fare breakdown.
- Server-authoritative pricing — distance-based fares with min/max clamps and a configurable city tax, charged from cash then bank.
- Automatic refunds for spawn failures, boarding timeouts, and pre-boarding cancels.
- 18 helipads out of the box — every pad is both a pickup and a destination; add more with one config line.
- Optional MySQL flight history (table auto-created).
- Fully exported booking backend — drive it from any phone app UI.
- Rebrandable — set your name in

Features
AI Pilot Engine
A scripted AI pilot flies in, lands exactly on the pad, carries the passenger, and despawns — start to finish, no player pilots.
18 Helipads Included
Every pad works as both pickup and destination. Add your own with a single vec4 config line.
Server-Side Fares
Distance-based pricing with min/max clamps and configurable city tax — computed on the server, never the client.
Smart Refunds
Spawn failures, boarding timeouts, and pre-boarding cancels are refunded automatically.
Booking Dashboard
Dark command-center NUI: nearest-first pads, live fares, route + fare-breakdown confirmation, helipad search.
Exports for Phones
The whole booking backend is exported client-side, so you can wire it into any phone resource.
