Bastion Hospital HLS

[TheTrooper]

With the Chinook around the corner...With respect to those who who where wounded or killed in this conflict. On a positive note the Hospital played a vital role with technology advances in medical treatment. The hospital HLS would be welcomed.

That being said, there isn't reasonable sized HLS (stoned) at the moment.

HLS and picture

@TheTrooper Can you post the coordinates of the Bastion hospital and HLS or mark it on a photo on a screenshot?

I'm trying to setup a dynamic environment with a scripted Medevac component for the Chinook, but it is hard to find details about the exact position of things like the hospital.

Hi,

After 2008, the hospital and HLS were next to the black smoke, on the western side, on that Google Earth screenshot. Details on the following picture (found on another forum).

 

If you are looking at a time period before 2008, then the field hospital was South of the white 2008+ building. On the following picture, you can see in 2007 both the field hospital (tents) and the building of the new hospital.

Plenty of details here: https://www.friendsofmillbank.org/unit-histories/#gsc.tab=0

Eventually, you'll find the location of the various HLS on this base on my airport charts.

Spot on. Beat me to it.

This should be part of the map as default.

@TheTrooper Thanks to you both! That's exactly(!) what I was looking for.

I understand what you mean with the HLS. Too much gras, missing concrete areas and access ways for the ambulances.

I used the "Aztec Hill" FARP to get a single landing pad, that fits the Chinook.

Not perfect, but better as the scenery as it has at least a smooth surface and big enough... we really need concrete slabs of different sizes, that can be placed as HLS.

A lot of the HLSs in the FOBs weren't even concrete. They were gravel/stone. I recall only one or two which had some sort of engineered platform amongst it (not raised) but were much larger than what we currently have in DCS.
