Coranthia Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Hi ED, With ground crew being an area that's going to be worked on, would it be feasible to implement arm-disarm pads for airfields, FOB's and FARP's? Whether they are set locations on airfields, or users can place them in the mission editor? This would add another degree of realism and tie into the ground crew functionality you are currently working on. It could also be selected as a tick box in missions if Arm-Disarm Pads are required or not. It would mean players would need to taxi to the pads prior to departure to have their weapons armed, and safe any unused weapons on return to an aerodrome. It would be great if scripting and animations occurred where ground crew approach and arm the weapons, but I appreciate this would be a rather intensive task; it could just entail groundcrew taxing you onto the pad, instructing you to hold, your weapons are armed, and they simply shoo you on your merry way. EOR pads could be implemented as well, but I don't think there's much of an argument or game improving mechanic for them. Interested on your thoughts on this, and if there's any interest from the community to adding this. Appreciate this is niche, but thought it would make a cool little game mechanic considering DCS World's realism aims.
