Bockerboy 10 Posted May 11, 2011 Hello. I'm Bocker, head of the Genesis Air Force. A problem I've seen come up is that my pilots eject, but land far out at sea. Is there a way I can rescue them with a chopper, instead of having them spend an hour swimming back to shore? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, in a custom mission you coud add an action to a downed pilot to call a chopper to your pilot through a getPos setPos kind of thing and have him flyInHeight to a few feet off the water and then moveInCargo the downed airman, or something like that. Is that what you want to do? RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted May 12, 2011 You need to tell us more about the situations. The thing that seems easiest to me is to have a helicopter or boat on the map that someone can take out to get your pilots. I'm fairly certain if a helicopter is flying low enough someone can board it from the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done this a few times myself, think you have to fly around 2,3M to get it to work. :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
