Helicopter (and fixed wing / light attack) Sandbox with randomized targets and CSAR missions.. This missions requires mods and a mod-less version will NOT be provided.
Fr om the briefing:
Helicopter Sandbox 3.
This mission was designed for my personal use, as a fun and “quick to action” mission with randomized enemies for replayability.. Initially it was intended to be for helicopters only but I added some fixed wing slots. The mission is tailored for Single Player (for my computer specs) but there are 2 slots of everything and the scripts are Multi Player compatible if you wish to fly it in MP.
This sandbox is intended to be flown from the Blue side and, with a couple of exceptions (more on this later), the names of the blue client slots are not important, so you can replace most of them with the aircraft of your choice.
The AOR (white square) and the front line are shown in the F10… There is no penalties for flying outside of the AOR, but there is also, no fun.
Your tasking is whatever you want it to be! But, if you require some external motivation to find something to do, then, there are 2 ways of getting tasks:
1- CSAR missions. Only for Huey’s and Gazelles (and these are the 2 naming exceptions mentioned before. CSAR is hardcoded to work with slot names that start with “Huey” or “Gazelle”)
2- F10 Menu – Intelligence – Request Tasks.
The F10 menus contains the Intelligence menu and, for the Huey and Gazelles, the CSAR menu.
The Intelligence menu has 4 options:
1-“Intelligence Summary”: Provides information about the relative strength of blue and red ground units and indication (numbers are the bottom, enclosed by < >) of how many groups and units wh ere randomly generated/
2- “Kill Summary”: well… A list of detected kills for both sides (DCS API is a bit buggy at the momemt and the needed event necessary to track the kills do not always trigger for randomly generated units)
3- “Request Tasking”: It places a marker in the F10 near your target and gives you an indication of what the mission is. Just go there and shoot stuff out!
4- Deploy Predator: deploys a Predator at Gaziantep to patrol the AOR
This mission is best played with “Fog of War” F10 View map option.
If you own the Combined Arms module, you will me able to request fire support from a couple of M109 artillery batteries.
