CFrag's Lawnmower (Helicopter Training Mission)

[cfrag]

@Tanuki44 - indeed, great that you figured it out 

@VFGiPJP - I'll look into adding the Harrier; it may significantly screw up the scoring logic. Challenge accepted

That’s the correct file. Methinks the change date is merely the default (uninitialized) change date from the archive that is being displayed.

I just had a go at this today, it's a good little challenge to sharpen your skills in a short time, thank you cfrag!

 

I was just about to get my fifth landing in when I somehow broke my Huey - must have pulled the collective too hard!

Version 20240614: Kiowa

• Updated code base

BUG NOTIFICATION: DCS 2.9.6.57650 and 2.9.6.57656

Please be advised that DCS 2.9.6.57650 and 2.9.6.57656 (updates from July 11 and 22) completely breaks this mission. A 'fix' for a previously reported bug has rendered central functionality of this mission inert: the mission can no longer detect if a helicopter has landed. Until this is fixed by ED this mission is unplayable.

Hopefully a fix in the future can restore this mission back to working condition.

Thank you for this mission.  Really nicely done! 

One thing I discovered from this was that as soon as I touched down and received a score, I was initially lowering the collective to zero and then tipping over (nothing I could do to prevent it).  I quickly learned that once I received the score, I should immediately raise the collective and take off again to start a new landing sequence.   

I'm pretty much a newbie with a little over 100 hours in the AH-64 Apache. I averaged about 1500 pts per touch down.  I could have missed it, but I didn't see anything like a table or something to see how good (or bad) my rating was.  It said "Choppa Poppa" but I don't where that rates in the whole scheme of things.  

Again, great job on this mission.  It's a fantastic tool to use to get better at flying and landing the Apache.

 it's near the top third, but not (yet) at the top. 

And thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoy it.

Thanks for the reply.

The first was at Senaki.  Just completed Batumi and again received Choppa Poppa with an average score of 1556 per landing.  This is REALLLLY challenging, which is good!
