Airfield resources question

[Mt5_Roie]

I've been playing around with the mission editor in DCS World and would like to test ou the airfield resources. Not having much documentation on it at the moment it's mostly trail by error.

 

My question is if an airfield has limited quantity of something (fuel or ammo) and a pilot tries to refuel/rearm - will they receive an error that the fuel or ammo is not available? Seems like you can still use the radio to call it in and use the preset stuff, or use the new rearming gui (which I think does display availability) I'm going to try to set up a test tonight to try to test it.

 

Also, will pilots be able to call an airfield ahead of time to see what resources are availalbe? Or will someone using combar arms module be able to determine that and report back to the pilots.

Don't touch it at the moment. It seems to cause problems with deleting units.

Has this been sorted in 1.2?

I seem to remember there was a screen grab of a Su-25 loadout with info on available munitions at that airfield, but my searches are not giving up the goods.

 

Can someone kindly point me to the relevant thread?

Yeah it works now, the menu you talk of is accessed by Left Alt+, I think and is for rearming.

last night i was fooling around with the editor and placed a red farp. while looking at the ac list in the farp i noticed there is a "KA-52" entry. Is that some sign of things to come?..
