Is it possible to change the AI units we can spawn for SCOUT and ESCORT missions?

Hi Skebengwa,

Yes, it is possible. When you use the F10 option for "ESCORT" you can choose between AH-64D, Mi-8, UH-1 amd KA-50 and different payloads.

But, regarding the SCOUT, it is only the Gazelle.

...but would be mind blowing if incorporated into the new Community VAICOM Voice Attack Plugin.

Thanks cdrkrotchetyusn!

I don't use VAICOM voice attack, but another similar and "more simple" program, that converts voice commands to key presses.

It work like a charm both for typing marks in F10 map and using commands in F10 radio menu. 

i.e: "DO STRIKE" voice command is configured as --> "shift+D ; pause 0.2 sec; shift+O ; pause 0.2 sec; _ ; pause 0.2 sec; shift+S ; pause 0.2 sec; shift+T ; pause 0.2 sec; shift+R; pause 0.2 sec; shift+I ; pause 0.2 sec; shift+K ; pause 0.2 sec; shift+E". etcetera

This way I can open F10 map with another voice command ("OPEN MAP" --> "F10"), create the label clicking on the map, and filling the label text just using the voice command. All without having to use the keyboard at all (a live saver in VR). And the same for ordering packages directly using F10 radio commands (using voice commands configured as sequences of keyboard F1, F2,... F12 keypresses)

Super-inmersive and very quick to request support without having to loose situational awareness typing long text commands or long F1-F12 keys sequences ^_^

Ooh! gonna edit my profile to include your suggestion!  Vaicom allows you to "tag along" your own profile.  I will then be able to say "Map", and then use your suggestion!

For those of you that like to play single player missions, I bring you another way to enjoy them more.

HIPSTER has leave his duty in AREA18 and now want to be your RIO/WSO 

 

[daemon1808]

For those interested in Hipster, here it is the Reame file that contains the instructions and how it works.

There will not be more Hipster versions (except if a mayor bug is found, of course) so you can join the patreon (RIO tier), get Hipster and unsubscribe.

Enjoy!

Hi all

HIPSTER and M.E.P include now, as a gift, A.R.E.A 18 v3.2 campaign (that is compatible with HIPSTER)
New Razbam F-15E and new SA342 Gazelle versions slots have been included in A.R.E.A18 Daily Random Missions. So you can "install" HIPSTER WSO in A.R.E.A and enjoy Hipster in the F-15E too
Take into account that HIPSTER, as before, is not able to manage any fighter instrumentation. It will only give you more situation awareness of enemy contacts in BVR and Visual range, and will enhance your inmersion in the game.

 For those of you who had supported my work joining in Patreon in the past, you will find a message in your patreon accounts to download A.R.E.A18 v3.2 (as a gift for your previous support.). Thanks!!!!!

Hope you enjoy

Hi,

For those of you that have already downloaded the A.R.E.A18 v3.2 , I found lately a bug in the random missions in Iran base that makes the campaign to ends abruptly.

You can find a link with the fixed campaign in your Patreon message box

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

Remember when I said that HISPTER v1.0 and M.E.Pv2.4 where the last versions of the mods?.

Well, I can't sit still without doing anything for even a while ("si se queda quieto, explota" we said in my country) ^_^

Sooo, I have been working in a way to de-conflict the sounds between M.E.P, HIPSTER and A.R.E.A, to avoid them to interrupt each other. Find below the new mod N.O.S.E thread with the workaround I have developed to do this.

New versions of M.E.P (v2.5) and HIPSTER (v1.1) mods, with N.O.S.E integrated, have been published in DummyPilot Patreon for those of you interested in these mods.

I will also publish during the next days a new version of A.R.E.A18 (v3.3), with N.O.S.E integrated, that will be a gift for Hipster and M.E.P Patreons.

As usual, all former patreons will receive the new version of the mod/s they own completely free (you don't need to become a patreon again if you don't want to). I will send the links using the Patreon messages system, so stay tunned o your patreon accounts.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that both Hipster and M.E.P. new versions have other improvements.

    (Enjoy DEAD/SEAD missions with you two seater aircraft mod or official module)
- Hipster can be used by WWII planes too
- Failsafe added to avoid HIPSTER stop working when a critical error happens.
    (If a error window appear during the mission, accept it and [provide this unexpected error was a one-time issue], hipster will continue working)
- Hipster will inform about targets destroyed during ground attack runs. Also will warn when bombs are released.
- Hipster is able to play "music tracks" during the missions (provide the player have uploaded the music files into the mission)
