Rearming without Airport

[Maverick-X]

Hey,

 

I had an idea for a mission, this involves rearming of fixed wing aircraft of a provisional strip. This would be a bigger road for example.

 

I tried a FARP near a road big enough for safe landing, but all I get is a blackened Crew Option dialogue, which you seem to get if you land anywhere (except allied airfields). Rolling on the farp didn't get me any further ^^

Is it by any means possible to get this to work? If I don't have to include a FARP that would be fine, just thought it was the easiest way to somehow give fixed wing aircraft a permission to rearm there, as they are able to store the required weapons.

 

Thx,

Mav

This came up once before and I don't think it's possible judging by the thread...

Will have to make a FARP for fixed wing then...........

We need this one in 1.2.8 :pilotfly:

thx Eno, so if there are any suggenstions where to tweak files to allow fixed wing aircraft rearming when near FARPS?

 

EDIT:

 

unitsclasses.lua located in ...\DCS World\MissionEditor\data\scripts contains this:

 

 -- FARP (Площадка базирования авиации)
 ["FARP"] = "P0091000022",  
 
 -- Airport 2 class (Аэродром второго класса )
 ["Novorossiysk"] = "P0091000032", 
 ["Khersones"] = "P0091000032",
 ["Gelendzhik"] = "P0091000032",
 ["Tskhakaya"] = "P0091000032",
 ["Kobileti"] = "P0091000032",
 ["Batumi"] = "P0091000032",
 
 -- Airport 1 class (Аэродром первого класса )
 ["Simferopol"] = "P0091000033", 

Perhaps you could declare a farp as an airport, I'll try that tomorrow when I find the time. But is this a solution regarding multiplayer (if it works)?

PS: just read the first line: "-- Units - icons conformity table", so that seems to be for map icons? I should go to sleep now ^^

any news on this?is it possible to make fixed wing aircraft rearm-refuel repair somewhere else besides the "official" airports?

This would be interesting - and historically accurate with the Su-25.

 

My understanding is that there was an attachable pod that would contain tools/parts/external fuel pump, so that 25s could put down anywhere there was a flat strip and a fuel truck - instant "air base".

 

It would be be very cool to be able to replicate that in game.
