crazyeddie Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 The larger aircraft can only be flown as singles. I have tried changing the Single In Flight settings in the lua files to overcome this but it appears to be another hard coded change from LFC. Whatever you change it stays as 1 aircraft. I want to create Para Drop missions with several C-130's and C-17's etc, anyone found a way around this yet ? 1
Chillspider Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I know this doesnt answer your question but how do you make a paradrop Dell XPS 630i w/ Dell nForce 650i Sli ,Intel Q9650 @3.0 ,6.0 GB Ram @800Mhz, 2xGeforce 9800 GT 512 MB ,Saitek X52, Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals ,Dell 24" 1080P HD monitor, Klipsch THX Pro Media 2.1 ,TrackIR 4, Logitech MX518 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Inseckt Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I think he intends to simulate it with triggers... Help Beczl with his DCS MiG-21Bis project by Pre-Ordering DCS MiG-21Bis module NOW! CLICK HERE TO GO TO PRE-ORDER PAGE AT INDIEGOGO
Chillspider Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 i am just trying to figure out the triggers and i dont see an option for that.

crazyeddie Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Sorry guys, misleading question, there are no simulated para's as such, I just want to simulate the event by flying a formation of C-130's and C-17's low and slow over somewhere then use the spawn function to put the troops and vehicles on the ground. It's along time since anybody did this for real but it looks good !!! That's the plan, but cannot overcome the single aircraft thing. It worked in LFC, I guess this is yet another hard coded change for BS, another step backwards !!!.
MBot Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Why not simply create multiple flights of single aircraft? Also that way you can better control the look of the formation (by adjusting waypoints and timing).
crazyeddie Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 The reality is a large para drop requires precise formation and height discipline, you cannot do that well with single aircraft, I have tried and it takes forever to get it looking right, and I mean forever !!! You can do it with staggers of 4 aircraft in flights, even using mixed types (unrealistic I know) - and it can look spectacular. Did it a few times in LFC, from the ground up it looked really impressive, 12 C-17's low and slow followed by a 12 C-130's. No para's of course, a small burst of imagination required !!! Now that would be a great mod would it not ? Using something like LOPE, add a bomb load to the C-130 and convert the bombs into para's - a para that explodes when he hits the ground, just like the ones I know !!! Any takers ?
