Boshar67 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Trying to set up a troop pickup and drop off. Using an AI UH-60 taking off from a FARP, flying to a PZ for pick up. Under the Perform task Advance Waypoint action for troops, "embark" I am trying to select the UH-60 as the vehicle group, but no groups are available in the drop down. Need some guidance. Also, what is the purpose of the Binding to transport. Thanks in advance

Boshar67 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 Flagrum - Still a problem with designating the AI UH-60 as the pick up vehicle group. In the Advanced Waypoint Action for the Infantry's waypoint, "Embark to transport" is assigned. However, in the place where you would assign the Vehicle Group to serve as the transport vehicle (i.e. "Vehicle Group") the section where you would select the vehicle has no vehicles in it. This is right above the :Binding to Transport line. When the UH-60 lands, the infantry just stand there and do not board. I am thinking it is because the UH-60 is not selected as the Vehicle Group.

You need to add a Advanced Waypoint Action "Embarking" to one of the helo's WPs. There you specify the infantry group(s) that it shall transport. When the helo reaches that WP, it flies to the pick up zone ("embarking" task of the infantry group), lands, picks them up, and then flies them to their landing zone (the troops "disembark" zone). Then the helo continues with it's route. (means, it flies back to the "embarking" WP and continues with WP+1)
Boshar67 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 I have the helo's wp set with an Embarking Advance task already. The helo hits the waypoint fine, flies to the PZ, lands and waits. No action from the infantry. And as I noted before, in the infantry's embarking command, I am unable to select the helo as the vehicle group it is supposed to embark on. The drop down menu is there, but it is empty. No vehicle groups listed at all. I think this is the problem. The infantry don't know who to embark on.

I wasn't aware of this myself, but there seem to be some limitations: you have to assign a helo type as "vehicle group" (better wording would be "vehicle type") in the inf troop embarking task to be able to subsequently bind the inf group to a specific helo of that said "vehicle group". BUT it seems, only Mi-8 and Uh-1H are considered by the ME as valid vehicle types. Change your Blackhawk to a Huey and it should work.
Boshar67 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 That appears to have been the problems. Seems to be working fine now. So much for using blackhawks and chinooks for transport. Thanks for the help.

That feature is still WIP and I think, it wasn't even properly mentioned in the change log for 1.2.8. And I have heared rumors that it is planned that even ground vehicles will be able to transport troops in the future ... :o)
Kulso Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Why does disembark the all chopper only one soldier in my edited mission? And I cant install transport actiont for the ground vehicles? Why
