Invisible FARP suggested improvements

[Rolds]

Hi!

 

Please have a look at the attached mission. I want to be able to use the map object at 36S VD 586461 as a FARP for rearming and refueling. Conveniently, this map object is a helipad in a military base which is accurately depicted in Cyprus. The problems are as follows:

1. If I add an invisible FARP at the map object location, the map object disappears when the mission loads. I am able to access ground crew services when I land on the ground where the map object was, which confirms the FARP should work as I have it set up.

2. If I offset the FARP, the map object (helipad) appears in the mission, but I cannot contact the ground crew when I land on it. I suspect this is because the game doesn't consider me to have "landed" when I am on the map object as my altitude is not equal to the FARP altitude.

Note that to move the FARP you have to change it to a different type of static object, move it, then change it back to invisible FARP because the ground is not smooth in this part of the map. This is what makes me suspect that the FARP doesn't work unless you are at its altitude as a sort of "did you land yet?" check.

 

Requests: 1. Could we have the possibility to set map objects as FARPs so that my mission could work as intended? If the invisible FARP wasn't so picky about me landing on it, in other words if I could land on something above the invisible FARP or have the invisible FARP work as a 3D zone inside which you just need to have accomplished the "landed" action which appears in the mission log, I think this would solve my issue.

2. Could this MAP object in Syria map be turned into an airfield anyway? After all, it is a helipad at a real life military base.

3. Could this MAP object be turned into a static object that works as a FARP? It is much more beautiful than any of the current FARPs you can place in the mission editor.

 

Thanks!
