Kjay Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Is search and rescue in multiplayer possible? Can a pilot that has ejected enter a KA-50 the same way he can enter a UAZ? If so, this could lead to some interesting search and rescue missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboHog Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Is search and rescue in multiplayer possible? Can a pilot that has ejected enter a KA-50 the same way he can enter a UAZ? If so, this could lead to some interesting search and rescue missions. Strap him to the ka50? Poor pilot! You can create such a scenario with current triggers. When you land near the pilot (m4 infantry unit for example) it will dissapear as if it entered your Heli. Then fly to the field hospital which triggers the appearance of another unit which represents the pilot again. Mission fails when first unit dies, mission succes when second unit is spawned. Lets see If I can make such a thing... 'Frett' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, this could lead to some interesting search and rescue missions. If I understand you correctly, you are wondering if during a multiplayer mission, you can rescue a downed buddy? Unfortunately with the way the system is laid out, you can not do so currently. As far as a pilot entering a KA-50 that is not possible either. The KA-50 is a single seat aircraft and unless the guy is going to sit on your lap while you fly, just not feasible. Perhaps he could strap himself to a wheel? If he was flying an A-10 he could not jump into the KA-50 cockpit if say he ditched his aircraft near an airfield. Its similar to the way you can not fly an a-10 then switch to the ka-50 even though they are both flyable in the same mission. You have to quit a-10 load black shark, then join the mission to fly the black shark.

WildBillKelsoe Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 [YOUTUBE]lf3Kyv_iaNs [/YOUTUBE] My theory of buddy SAR. Replace Aim-9 with Vikhr.. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Speed Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) As far as a pilot entering a KA-50 that is not possible either. The KA-50 is a single seat aircraft and unless the guy is going to sit on your lap while you fly, just not feasible. Perhaps he could strap himself to a wheel? No, a pylon. It's happened before (I've heard of examples from both Vietnam and Afghanistan), and will happen again... if things are desperate, you just grab on to like a pylon or pod or something and go on a ride from hell... just hold on tight :thumbup:... and hopefully you're strapped on too. BTW, Combat Helo is supposed to have this feature whenever it finally comes out. Edited March 1, 2012 by Speed Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

StrongHarm Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I simulate a troop extract in one of my missions. I put a few waypoints around the extract point, so it circles to a hover, then make it go altitude +2. When the helo reaches the ground the troops disappear under it (trigger zone + unit alt). Close and not exactly flawless.. but hell, you're watching it from the cockpit of a Hawg.. so it doesn't look bad at all. Build it.. and they will fly.. See joint ops SAR manual (outdated and no longer FOUO)for some great mission ideas and techniques. SARs.pdf It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hog_driver111th Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Or you could just sit on the KA-50 wings. The Apaches have done it. These soldiers were going in for a rescue mission, riding on the wings of the Apache. Take a look at this image, during takeoff: http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/PictureViewers/InPicturesApacheRescue.htm A-10C - FC3 - CA - L-39 - UH1 - P-51 - Hawk - BS2 - F-86 - Gazelle - F-5E - AV8B - F/A-18C i5-4590 - GTX 1060 - Oculus CV1 - TM:Warthog [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic9979_1.gif[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaOneSix Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 wow, i would not wanna be sitting there... Other than being loud and a bit windy, it's really not a big deal, there is a safety strap keeping you attached to the aircraft. Might be a good idea to secure loose articles prior to takeoff, however. ;) We used to train for this regularly, even before Desert Storm back in '90-'91.

BigfootMSR Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 That is awesome. What a ride. I stand corrected then!

StrongHarm Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Pucker factor of 10... Helo pilots are crazier than fighter pilots any day. They scared the hell out of me when I was inside the helo! I'll get there on the MKI boot.. thanks :) It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
