are you selecting a landing mode(auto,smoke or strobe) last update added in these options.

will check later to see if issues with code.

as a update im working on a rejig of the dialogs to make them more user friendly and adding lots of new options for cas. i have a working gunrun/strafe script that seems to be pretty accurate that i want to implement. also with the new LOS commands ive just got a better sytem for detecting if ai cansee something so the recce side will be better by only reporting visible rather than whole groups.

also working on a better medevac system than just medic out to you. want to do something like wounded soldiers have to go back to base to heal but havnt had time to implement yet.

The helo does not land for me either.

I call the helo to my grid, it comes, I throw a smoke and it just hovers there.

Works now, although after returning to base pilots go into the danger mode (if not earlier). Even if the mission never had enemies.

yer it is on my end as its a relatively new feature (started working on the recce side and did some experiments at night and noticed the lights) it shouldnt make a massive difference though.

marek what other addons are you using, is it transport, medevac or both, does the auto land option work at all

new version is in the making, testing bugs. im gonna try and make a different system to get helicopters to land to try to solve issues,

new features:

-actual casevac

- cas strafing

- reworked landing system (WIP)

- reworked JDAM

- Reworked Recce system using new commands

- potential airtransport artillary (pre WIP)

the casevac system has taken a bit of priority atm. it includes the AI (yes AI) grabbing wounded (unconscious or hit in legs) and loading them into vehicles. ATM this uses an ace functions but im trying to remove an error if ace isnt used.

JDAM is being redone as i dont like the accuracy of the current system.

strafing is working but i cant garuntee accuracy ( i guess that relatively real)

hoping to get this out before 28th as i start a new job then so may be off modding for a little while as i settle in

to aid this if anyone knows how to detect if ace if running please let me know

to play alone you need to remove the init from the player or the start.sqf. cant remember off top of head.

recce works differently for different types, for heli, jet or uav just put the grid in the first boxes.

for ground the first point is the lz ( heli move recce team to that loc and flys back), the second grid is the op ( the place where the recce team moves to and reports known enemys).

new version coming soon which will work differently specifying an op and an area to watch for ground and optional for helis, jets will work in same way, but i'm implementing new commands

hey guys this is a great script although I have two questions: 1. Whenever I input a grid reference the helo always goes to somewhere else (usually the bottom left corner of the map. 2. How do you get rid of the British weapon you are armed with?

---------- Post added at 12:53 ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 ----------

And for me when I delete the Init. line in the player the script just stops working

You’re probably using the X, Y grid references backwards. I think its Y then X and throw in a "4" for the fourth (which is the center number of the square) number like "0654" to make it more accurate.

hi guys sorry recently got a new job which has taken a huge amount of time. to remove british weapons you need to remove the init from the player or the start.sqf. cant remember off top of head.

wiith the grid references, i use 8 figure grids with x in first box, y in second for example 0911,1042 is roughly central on map(dont quote game not open) where as 091,104 is only 91 m east of left hand corner and 104 m north.

hoping to get some work on the recce script done this weekend (got ground working, and am relatively happy with the way other currently work, but want to experiment a little more) for a release soon. after such i think i will just be doing minor tweaks with arma 3 looming.

i'll check whats happenong woth secops, i had this issue previously but thought i'd managed to get rid of it.

with coloured smoke, i want to implement a proper system for landing things including lz by flares (bit of a pipe dream) i am tempted by smoke designated airstrikes but dont trust the AI to be accurate enough when i can't get away that quick,

with regards to breaching, discoverd the issue and will be fixed in next release.

i appologise for teh lack of communication recently, been busy at work (need to hire more guys) and this is teh first weekend i've got off in 4 weeks.

also apologise for bad english, been a long week and need some rest.

Ta
