Unable to Rearm at FARP

[nebuluski]

Hi

 

In one of my BS mutiplayer Missions with Ka50's and A10A's I have setup an FARP with:

 

FARP Ammo Storage

FARP Tent

FARP Fuel Depot

FARP Command Post

GPU APA-80 on ZiL-131

 

They are all on the FARP platform.

 

When I land my Ka50 at the FARP in multiplayer (I am Host) I can refuel but cannot rearm. All I get from the ground crew is "Unable".

 

Any ideas is this a bug?

 

Cheers!

Me too - I'm new to mission building and have also been curious about this.

did you put the ammo truck there and the fuel truck?

[Frederf]

Do they all have to be in the same unit?

See page 124 of the DCS GUI manual. It lists the units needed

 

Eastern forces:

CP SKP-11 command post, FARP command post for radio communications

GPU APA-50 or GPU APA-80 for electrical power

ATMZ-5, ATZ-10, Transport URAL-375 or FARP Fuel Depot for refueling

URAL-375 transport or FARP Ammo Dump for rearming

UAZ-469, URAL-4320-31, URAL-4320T, ZIL-131 KUNG, KAMAZ, and FARP TENT for aircraft repair. Repairs take 3 minutes after rotors stop.

Western forces:

M1025 HMMWV APC for radio communications

M818 transport for electrical power

M978 HEMTT tanker for refueling

M818 transport for rearming

M818 and FARP

It is possible without units only with buildings. See my missions.

 

@ nebuluski: please upload the mission so we can take a look.

I made a mission and with all units listed for all farp functions.\ for eastern units for russian coalition

placed units on the farp (within 50-70 meters) then made these units into template. added all 4 farp static's also sitting on farp itself.

 

i made exact copy of the template for another coalition. also using 'eastern' equipment added the 4 farp statics

 

this farp allows all functions, ground elec, rearm refuel .. (i would assume repair but not tested)

 

while the russian farp did not. only function it gave was refueling

 

also the ka-50 is not repairing on the kuznetsov after rotors stop. (maybe they dont stock ka-50 spare's)

Thanks Problem Solved

 

Thanks Crunch that was my problem! I was using a Western Ka50 so needed to use the right FARP resources.

 

Cheers

 

V3 didn't work

v4 does but having problems with Chinooks not flying low enough to drop off troops!

Having a look now, but can you please detail a bit more please. In particular if this makes it harder to disable a base by destroying the ground units, It would be very helpful. Thanks

It is also possible with JUST units to create a fullying functioning farp.
