Vedexent Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Does anyone know of any published Mi-8 mission where the Mi-8 plays a medivac or CSAR role? I can find Huey medivac, and a Ka-50 mission where the player escorts the AI Mi-8 - but anyone know of something where players could fly both combat escort and the Mi-8 rescue chopper? If not, I may have to look into making one - but was wondering if this existed already.
Mad_Jack Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 RagnarDa has done a dynamic script that I've been using in auto generated missions http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=107303&highlight=dynamic+sar. Pretty straight forward to implement. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS Chopper Skins
JG-1_Vogel Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 This was something I was discussing with squad mates earlier, would be very interesting to do :). I imagine it's possible too if you imagine how JTAC AI can direct you to targets, perhaps we can have a casualty pop up along the FEBA and go pick up.
Vedexent Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks Mad Jack! I originally thought that was a Huey only script, but reading closer it looks like it designates Medivac units by unit name, so it could - in theory - be any unit: Mi-8, Huey - even nonsensical units like an Su-27 :D One of our mission authors has played around with that script. You have to make the pop-up casualty units invisible to enemy units, or they just get mowed down as well. I think this could be a very interesting type of mission, especially for the unarmed Mi-8 pilot who is hoping like hell his/her partner(s) can keep the enemy units held off for the pickup :)
