Request: Please add a FARP trigger zone in ME

[Warmbrak]

Problem

While FARPs are great for helicopters, it is not friendly towards fixed-wing aircraft. Many have tried to place a FARP with a corner on a road so that if an aircraft touches it with a wheel, it is able to refuel/rearm. Others have made great objects to try and help with this, but there is always an issue with the placement of these objects, and in most cases these simply do not work, or destroy the aircraft in the process.

 

Request:

Can ED please consider adding a FARP trigger zone that can be created in the ME that will allow mission builders to place a little area on a road where aircraft can be rearmed and refuelled?

 

Optional Request

Mod creators (such as the excellent DCS Marsden FARP https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=222775 ) have tried to overcome this issue, but it is impossible to place these objects flush with the ground. Objects like these really create interesting gameplay opportunities, but are held back by something in the terrain system that makes it impossible to place unless the ground is perfectly flattened in advance by ED.

Please consider extending a hand to these modders to help make these mods fully functional.

I fully endorse this request! :thumbup:

 

(This would perhaps trigger more support when posted on the wish sub-forum)

Would make the harrier/viggen/others way more useful.

Yes please! I Have been trying to figure out how to get something like this working with no luck.

Yes please.

 

In addition to the points already mentioned, it would also allow the use of "other airfields", such the three civilian runways on the Caucusus map (1 at Kobuleti and 2 at Kutaisi) or the Mina-Airport on the NTTR map.

Yes. FARP should be a trigger zone. Max 500m in diameter so you can set it where ever you want. Then you can play around with the terrain objects like platforms etc to get things look nice.

Edit: So make it so that there needs to be the all required vehicles in the trigger zone + the aircraft in the vehicle range so they can operate right.

 

And IMHO the vehicle radius should be made much smaller, like a 20-50 meters from the aircraft.
