I'll concede that I have NOT read all of this Thread.

I have however, already read this thread >> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=115610&highlight=parachute.

 

What I'd like to do is have a couple SAR operators bail out of my Huey to help a stranded hiker.

While I know we can't see anyone (other than door gunners) in the back of a chopper, I would like to know if it is possible to have and see a couple guys bail out and have their chutes open (i.e. they spawn outside the chopper with parachutes).

 

Is this possible ?

 

Later in my mission, I will use some sort of Rope/Cargo ? lift the SARs and victim out of the bush or predicament.

[shagrat]

Not that I know off. At least not currently.

[SnowTiger]

Thanks for the reply Shagrat.

I didn't think so.

I guess I need to just find a way to use a Fast Rope and hold over a zone for "X" amount of time for each of the imaginary SAR units ... without using a Script (if that's possible).

I think I can do that with Triggers.

 

Have a great day.

great script! is loaded troops weight have been implemented yet? does aircraft become heavier with loaded troops? can't find any info on that

There is a limit of how many wounded you can carry but there is no way to make the aircraft "feel" heavier or to add weight to it with the scripting engine unfortunately.

[flying rabbit]

There are triggers to set the internal cargo. Isnt it possible to use them to simulated the added weight?

[shagrat]

No!

The trigger affects only the host.

Only if you host the mission, play a Huey, would the triggers add weight...

Unfortunately any other Huey "loading" stuff would add weight, also, even in mid flight.

If the mission is hosted on a server, like most squadrons do, even that is not possible.

The object model does not have a weight argument for any aircraft beside the one simulated on the host.

Thank you for this enlightenment. I already wondered why it is not possible to specify the unit which receives the weight. I hope this will get implemented in the future.

Hello.

 

I read once that the Mi8 can receive beacon signal from the wounded. But I forgot where is it. Can you remind me please?? If it says they are emiting in 32 FM... what should I do in the Mi8?

[ESAc_matador]

FOrgot to mention... I am not able to make it sound!!

 

Do you know how to put the sound in the file??? miz. I am trying to convert it to RAR and then compile all files again, but it does not work for me. Any help??

As far as I know beacons should be working in 2.0 as it works in 1.5.

 

To add the sound try the instructions below. They're for CTLD but its the same process: https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-CTLD#script-setup

 

You can home using the Mi-8. Try these instructions, the frequency is in KHz https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-CTLD#mi-8-arc-9-vhf-radio-setup

We made test today, and only the host got the messages from wounded.

I have just loaded this script - latest from GitHub and have this error once it loads.

 

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

[shagrat]

There is a Typo in line 5 of the script... Or any othet script you may load from a file in that mission.

[Shaman]

Hi thanks, I have looked into mission file and LUA was corrupted. Redownloaded it, loaded into mission again, saved, ta-da! Works :)

 

Questions still questions -

what if MASH active units are destroyed?

Will they still work if I respawn them with MISC respawn routine?

What if they are taken control by human client (CA)?

Anyone please join in lobby <51>SERVER and help me debug this script. I am not sure whether it actually works or not?

[ESAc_matador]

It works for single player.

The Script evaluates the Unitnames for MASH on the fly, should evaluate the units on the list by name, so as long as the Unit name remains BlueMASH #1 etc. you should be good.

 

Destroying a MASH should simply result in the loss of it as dropoff point for wounded. If all MASHs are destroyed you should get a message and your wounded will die.

 

Taking control and moving a "MASH" Unit shouldn't affect the script. (Checks distance between MASH(s) and Helicopter on landing the helicopter).

Thank you for very comprehensive answers. Script is excellent.

[flo57100]

Hi there !

 

First, thanks to Ragnar for this awesome script !

 

I have a question, is there a way to have emitting locating beacons for the crews to be recovered ? If yes, is there a way to include a sound for this mission ?
