WS NPAS is an advanced police aviation and helicopter operations system for FiveM, delivering a complete experience for pilots, tactical flight officers and ground units. From realistic aircraft startup procedures and flight management to powerful aerial surveillance, intelligent target tracking, and live camera downlinks, WS NPAS brings every aspect of police helicopter operations into one comprehensive resource.

Whether you're supporting a pursuit, locating a missing person, tracking suspects or coordinating officers on the ground, WS NPAS provides the tools to make every deployment more immersive, coordinated and engaging.

Aerial Surveillance & Targeting

• Advanced EO/IR Camera - fully stabilised aerial camera with daylight, night vision and thermal imaging modes, precision aiming, smooth optical zoom and adjustable camera sensitivity.

• Solo Pilot Target Tracking - operate the helicopter independently while automatically tracking vehicles or pedestrians. Acquire a target with a single button press and let the stabilised camera maintain visual tracking while you concentrate on flying.

• Intelligent Target Tracking - acquire and follow vehicles or pedestrians with automatic camera tracking, line-of-sight validation, obstruction handling and target-loss feedback.
• Ground Position Locking - stabilise the camera onto a fixed location, allowing continued observation while the aircraft manoeuvres.
• Visible-Plate ANPR - identify vehicle registrations, models, speeds and locations through realistic plate visibility checks, accounting for distance, viewing angle and physical obstructions.
• Detailed Aviation HUD - professional surveillance instrumentation displaying coordinates, altitude, heading, camera orientation, target information, rangefinder measurements and operational status.
• Advanced Searchlight - synchronised aircraft spotlight with camera tracking, adjustable beam width, multiple colour options, strobe functionality and automatic target illumination.
• Evidence Photography - capture aerial surveillance photographs and upload them to Discord with location information, timestamps and operator details.

Live Downlink & Crew Coordination

• Live Camera Downlink - share active helicopter camera feeds with authorised officers on the ground, including synchronised camera movement, zoom and imaging modes.
• Simulated Signal Transmission - experience configurable signal range, transmission delay and signal-quality effects based on distance from the aircraft.
• Crew Target Sharing - share tracked targets between the tactical flight officer and pilot to support coordinated surveillance and aircraft manoeuvres.
• Operational Information - display aircraft callsigns, active targets, incident details and observer information during downlink operations.
• Multi-Crew Support - configurable pilot and tactical flight officer positions with independent permissions and operational controls.

Aircraft Operations & Flight Assistance

• Realistic Aircraft Startup - operate batteries, fuel pumps, engines, avionics and surveillance sensors through a synchronised startup and shutdown system.
• Interactive Startup Checklists - guide aircraft crews through startup procedures with configurable delays, component states and shared crew information.

• Advanced Flight Assistance - maintain a stable hover, hold altitude and heading, automatically orbit tracked targets or follow moving vehicles and pedestrians, allowing both solo pilots and multi-person crews to conduct surveillance operations.

• Pilot Avionics - functional flight displays featuring artificial horizon, heading, ground speed, altitude, vertical speed, rotor RPM, fuel levels and navigation information.
• Guided Landing Procedures - follow structured approach, descent, final approach and touchdown guidance, with optional automatic engine shutdown.
• Terrain & Altitude Awareness - audible altitude callouts, sink-rate warnings, low-altitude alerts and pull-up indications.
• Spatial Aircraft Audio - immersive helicopter startup and operational sounds with distance-based attenuation, 3D positioning and rotor-dependent playback.

Fleet & Operational Management

• Aircraft Deployment - deploy configured helicopters from designated aviation bases with custom liveries, registration numbers, vehicle extras and crew uniforms.
• Aircraft Standdown - safely return and remove deployed aircraft through validated shutdown and parking procedures.
• Realistic Fuel Consumption - calculate aircraft fuel usage from flight time and distance, including consumption while hovering or operating at low speed.
• Fuel & Range Monitoring - monitor remaining fuel, estimated endurance and operational range, with configurable low-fuel warnings and refuelling facilities.
• Persistent Flight Logging - record aircraft flight hours and nautical miles, maintaining operational statistics between sessions.
• Force Flight Allowances - establish and monitor shared flying-hour or distance allowances for your aviation operations.
• Configurable Crew Access - restrict aircraft operations, surveillance equipment and specialist functions using permissions, jobs, grades, skills and crew seating positions.

Customisation & Quality of Life

• Personal Operator Settings - customise camera controls, sensitivity, smoothing, HUD colours, thermal palettes, audio levels and operational warnings.
• Customisable Keybindings - configure aircraft and surveillance controls through FiveM's keybinding system.
• Flexible Aircraft Configuration - customise supported helicopter models, camera behaviour, spotlight operation, flight assistance, fuel consumption and deployment settings.
• Automatic State Management - handles aircraft exits, disconnects, lost targets and resource shutdowns to prevent abandoned camera, spotlight or flight-assistance states.
• Performance-Conscious Design - configurable synchronisation, telemetry updates and operational limits to suit different server environments.

Integrations

• Albo1125 FMS
• WS Clan UI
• WS Framework

Dependencies

• ws_framework (v0.4.2 or newer)
• screenshot-basic

Note: Albo1125 FMS and WS Clan UI are optional integrations. Some integration-specific functionality requires the corresponding resource to be installed and configured. The ANPR system uses visibility-validated vehicle registration data rather than image OCR or an independent police database lookup.

From the moment your crew deploys to the final aircraft shutdown, WS NPAS delivers a connected police aviation experience, combining advanced surveillance, realistic aircraft operations and seamless coordination between air and ground units.
