K-Assistant: Simple Transport Script

[Kappa]

Hi everyone, 
With the release of the CH-47 Chinook module, I would like to share with you this script that I developed a couple of years ago.

I hope you like it!

 

K-Assistant

Simple Transport Script

Powered by MOOSE Framework

 

What is K-ASS: Simple Transport Script

K-Assistant: Simple Transport Scrip that aims to assist Mission Designers in the implementation of a cargo management system and troop transport simple, flexible and realistic based on the MOOSE Framework.

 

• Simple- because it can be easily integrated into your missions, moreover, it is also simple to use in the game as, the menus and functions available to the players are few and easy to use.
• Flexible- because it tries to allow Mission Designers to build their missions without limiting their imagination too much by setting too restrictive rules. Potentially with this script you can also load static objects not defined as "loaded" in DCS onto your helicopter, for example a building or a cow ...
  It is up to the mission designer to decide what should be done and what should not be done.
• Realistic- although the script leaves the Mission Designers free to use their imagination, at the same time it binds them to a realistic approach such as, thanks to the API released in 2020 by Eagle Dynamics, for each object loaded in your helicopter, the addition of mass will be simulated relating to the load itself.  Pilots will now have to take into account the mass of the cargo!

To increase the realism and immersion in the game, K-ASS-STS provides a dynamic interaction system that allows, through the use of the F10 map markers, to issue commands to the ground troops transported. Forget the days when troop transport was a boring thing, now you can send your troops to assault, organize patrols and request mortar attacks!

 

This script  provides a realistic and dynamic system for transporting troops and objects in line with the DCS realistic philosophy. Given the current state of DCS, the script is primarily intended for transport by helicopters and ground units. In addition to the mere transport of troops, the possibility of assigning tasks to the transported troops is a fundamental element of the script, both in pre-planned mode via mission editor and directly in-game via the use of F10 map markers.

 

Main Features

• Troop transport (land unit groups e.g. infantry, mortars, manpads, etc…)
• Static transport (crates)
• Radio dedicated menus under F10 - Other
• Generation of loadable troops via Warehouse
• Mass management - for each load the mass of the load will be calculated and added to your copter - you will like to say "the weight of load responsibility" 
• Troop tasking after landing - Pre-planned by the mission editor or dynamically "in game" via the markers on the F10 map, it will be possible to program the actions that the troops will have to perform after landing in certain areas.
• Transport Mortars and call them attacks in real time
• Interact with DCS triggers via flag zones
• Quick generation of smoke markers - via Marker on map F10 or from Mission Editor with trigger zones
• In-game User Guides
• Cargo info and Cargo Manifest in game, to get information about the transported load

This is one of the best standalone scripts for DCS and an interesting alternative to the better known CTLDs (mist or moose) by simple fact that troops can now be transported by both heli and vehicles ... to detail a bit more the author's description.

Thank you @Kappa for sharing your work with us.

If in the future you might think about tuning it, maybe you would consider some more seamless integration with Moose CTLD by using "inject" function instead normal spawn. Other than that one of the best script to spice our missions.
