improvised airstrip

[moonbeast]

hello

 

suggestion for 1.2, seen as the su25 can take off from grass airstrips, is there any chance you could implement this in the mission editor, this would enable people to put forward operating bases (FOB's) in missions the same way helos have FARP's

 

instead of hangers you could have camoflauge nets/hides etc etc

 

this is just an idea suggestions welcome

 

cheers

It should be possible, we already have "mobile runways" (carrier decks).

KEY FEATURES::

 

Unprecedented level of realism in modeling Russia’s Ka-50 attack helicopter. The Ka-50 can be armed with the "Shkval"/"Vikhr" anti-tank systems and other air-to-ground weapons.

Advanced flight dynamics and physics for bombs, rockets and missiles.

AI aircraft use the same flight dynamic system as player-controlled aircraft.

6DOF, mouse clickable cockpit with TrackIR 3 Pro Vector support.

"KABRIS" multi-function display, integrated navigation system and OVN-1 "Skosok" night-vision goggle system.

Mission pack and extensive campaigns for the Ka-50.

Forward Arming and Refueling Points.

Detailed Ka-50 training course with voice-over narration.

Cinematic videos using the Black Sharks graphic engine.

Several new ground units for attack helicopter missions.

 

Now, I dont know if that means forward airbases. Could just be heli pads. But the Su25/T is good for rough runways?

Use the mission editor and build your own... no arming and refueling though.

no arming and refueling though.

 

It is possible to land on roads, but never thought it can be created as a forward ("temp") base, but I wouldn't consider this as a base, since SU-25T can't re-arm/refuel on that "temp" bases. :rolleyes:

Sweet Shep, Very Creative

Great creativity Shepski!

 

However, I tried to do that in the mission editor, and it won't let me place an aircraft taking off from a place on the map that is not an airport (it forces a speed of at least 50). In a similar manner, besides when placing a static object, a player aircraft cannot be oriented or placed in any parking on the taxiways...

 

Does anyone know how I could do that?:confused:

Static objects.

D-Scythe,

 

That is what I mean... is there any way to force the mission editor to start a player aircraft on the ground at any other place than on the parking? (by setting waypoint 0 to "Takeoff" and selecting "from parking area"?)

Player or AI aircraft? No, not that I know of. You can hack into LOMAC and get helicopters to take off from someplace other than an airfield, but I'm pretty sure you cannot do this with fighter aircraft.

 

You can land, just not take off.

In Operation Flashpoint one could land a SU-25, or Mi-24 and drive a fueltruck, or repair vehicle to the unit in need of repairs, or refuel.

It's a grass runway patch, changing all asphalt and concrete areas into a grass strip and sand plates.

This idea was implemented in Strike Fighters using the MiG-23...It's a great idea and Russian aircraft were designed with this type of improvisational scenario in mind. I guess in case thier airbases were rendered useless from enemy bombing of the runways, etc...
