cfrag Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 I've finally taken the plunge and started helicopter training. Now that I can reasonably safely land the Huey and am starting to improve my accuracy, I was wondering if there are existing helicopter pads, especially for Hospitals, in DCS. I'm aware that I can add them in the form of some ships, oil rigs, or FARP. But if they already exist in-game, I'd love to look for them and try approaches. I know that Syria has a couple, but I'm kind of fond of Caucasus (Syria is drop dead beautiful, but Caucasus has seasons!) so if you have a list of locations for Helos to land; that would be much appreciated.
MAXsenna Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 You could try the SAR multiplayer server. It's lots of fun!Cheers! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
cfrag Posted March 29, 2021 Author Posted March 29, 2021 Apologies for the noobish question - does that server have a modified Caucasus map with hospitals? That does sound exciting! Do they allow Tyros like me crashing all over the place? My landings still aren't pretty, but I can walk away from most of them 1
MAXsenna Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Not n00b at all! Sort of. They have added FARPS/Hospitals, and you fly around rescuing/transferring people/patients/other crashed pilots. You can even rescue yourself, if you survive your crash.The server keeps track of what you do, but no penalties as far as I remember.I'll look up the link to the thread.It's actually a great way to get to know the map and learn to fly/hovering helicopters. All current helicopters are supported sans the Ka-50 for natural reasons.

cfrag Posted March 29, 2021 Author Posted March 29, 2021 Thanks all! I love it - I just found the Search and rescue server, ping looks good, so I'll try to hop in tonight to see what it has to offer. And I'll add some hospitals to my private maps for solo practice as well. 2
cfrag Posted March 30, 2021 Author Posted March 30, 2021 Just a quick follow-up: the Search and Rescue server is really, really impressive and fun. Of course it has real weather, meaning that I need to train some more with wind, and the SAR missions can be quite far apart (120 nm is an hour away in a Huey). I also need to practice my cold-start routine, but that's more on me One observation that really made me happy: I see that the server offers pilot/instructor seats for the Gazelle. I thought that the Zelle's MP status was 'kaputt'. Has that changed? I would really love to multicrew that one with a friend of mine. 1
Wrcknbckr Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 If you don't want to fly the 120nm SAR missions have a go at this Batumi Dispatch - randomized (digitalcombatsimulator.com. Medical Flights in and around Batumi to practice your landings and take-offs in lots of separate missions.

I am just now discovering helos and finding things to land/crash on. I know there are a few oil platforms off the Sochi coast but haven't found any more.
