Capturing Helipad Triggers With Enemy Units Still Present


Recommended Posts

Salute

I am working on building a mission using the standard DCS triggers and tools (no scripts)

I have a Red FARP with 3 insurgent troops right by it.

I drive a Blue Humvee towards the zone and as soon as I get inside the 6500 zone using the standard test (see below) I get a message to say that Blue have captured the FARP

Am I misunderstanding the principle of this or is this a bug please? I thought that it only changes hands when all enemy units have been killed.

Regards

@Flappie Hope I have done this correctly.

I have also made a video. The issue is the same also if I am driving via CA.

Many thanks for your time.

@Flappie ok, does the video not help?

I will knock up a quick mission with just the same elements. The mission it is in is quite large. but happy to post if it helps you.

Many thanks. I get it: your track has only infantry units defending the FARP, and a civilian bus. Mine has an armored vehicle.

Apparently, DCS considers that "simple" infantry units cannot defend a FARP alone against a vehicle. It looks like a feature, yet a dozen RPG soldiers could defend the FARP alone in this case.

@Flappie - Ok, now I understand that. I thought the rules were ANY remaining units kept the site.

Many thanks once again for the quick response.
