DayZ Aviation Modding

DayZ has no built-in aviation class. The proven pattern (validated in LM_Planes by Llama + Itspete-Here): hack CarScript as the aviation base, override its physics inside scripts, and use class Buoyancy for seaplane behavior. Don't try to make planes work from EntityAI or Inventory_Base — CarScript gives you wheels, seats, sound integration, and damage system for free.

This skill compiles patterns extracted from LM_Planes (Workshop ID 3730564764) — the only real deployable aviation mod in Llama's catalog, with 8 aircraft + 1 amphibious car (Patty_Wagon) sharing one base class LlamaPlaneScript.
