pocococo Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 After buying the Huey module and playing the training missions, I gave up on the Huey because I didn't see any new transport-related techniques in training. So I didn't even get as far as the campaign. Then someone in another forum thread reminded me that the Huey module will focus on transport missions, so now I will go back and try out the campaign. But for a while I was thinking that the module was just another heli with some guns (and I already have the Black Shark to fly when I want that). So my request (or reminder; I'm sure there have already been plans to do this) is: please add some transport-related training missions, perhaps once you have added mechanisms to the sim that directly involve transport, such as sling loading. This will help retain people like me who have short attention spans :)
Robin_Hood Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I would guess sling-load training will appear in the release. Otherwise, I agree that it would be nice if transport was highlighted at least as much as gunning. But then, the release should come with the "slick" version of the Huey, so maybe then ;) 2nd French Fighter Squadron

wess24m Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) While not sling loading, the mission haulin' trash has you dropping off (picking up) cargo. With as much trouble people are having holding a stable hover as it is now, we're really not missing anything by not having sling loading enabled IMHO. I can't wait for when it's implemented, but I think baby steps in the sense of learning to handle the Huey. If you're referring to strictly troop transport training, then you can easily make a mission with some dudes at one spot and go pick them up. Aside from the weight difference (if implemented in the mission) all the training you're going to need is landing/taking off practise. By "transport-related techniques" did you mean like fast roping some troops in? I thought of implementing a 20-30 foot hover to insert troops, (you can integrate this in a trigger) the issue is that we don't have a refined enough hover FM to hold a steady 20 foot hover. Plus it would be difficult because of no-minimal visual reference for attitude and speed under 40 knots. Edited May 14, 2013 by wess24m
