F2F AIR LOADOUT SELECTOR SYSTEM (A.L.S.S.) SCRIPT

*** DOWNLOAD LINK: CLICK HERE ***

MIRROR (Armaholic.com): CLICK HERE

CREATED BY: [F2F] SKYNET

VERSION: v2.4

RELEASE DATE: 04/12/2012

EMAIL: TheFirst2Fight@yahoo.com

WEBSITE: www.TheFirst2Fight.com

ABOUT F2F A.L.S.S.

The F2F Air Loadout Selector System is a script which enables a variety of bomb and missile loadouts for ArmA 2 (A2/OA/CO/PMC/BAF) aircraft. Originally, F2F A.L.S.S. was considered a private script used only in F2F squad missions. I came to the conclusion that others may also benefit from this script so I decided to release it to the ArmA community.

Further script updates will be released if/when time permits. Technical support and requests will gladly be taken into consideration.

I hope you enjoy the F2F A.L.S.S. Script. If you are interested in flying USMC aircraft, visit www.TheFirst2Fight.com and come fly for us!

A.L.S.S. FEATURES

  • NO MODS REQUIRED!
  • Most vanilla aircraft supported including the AV-8B, A-10, Su-25, Su-34, Mi-24, AH-64D, AH-1Z, AH-6J, UH-1Y, Ka-52, Ka-60, and more!
  • Many popular aircraft and weapon addons are compatible with A.L.S.S. (scroll down for a list of compatible addons)
  • Aircraft will have several unique weapon loadouts available to choose from such as Close Air Support, Air Interdiction, Combat Air Patrol, Air Superiority and others.
  • The script is multiplayer friendly!
  • Simple 2-step intallation to get your mission up and running in no time.
  • Optional code to remove all weapons from aircraft upon mission start (see installation step #3).
  • No need to configure each aircraft, just pull aircraft up to "loader" and receive in-game options.
  • Ability to make ANY editor object a "loader" object. This includes vehicles which makes for an ability to create mobile forward rearm points. (A "loader" object is an object which an aircraft must pull-up to in order to select custom weapon loadouts.)
  • Customizable radius for each loader. An aircraft must be within this radius in order for the loadout menu to activate. (see installation step #2)
  • Addon support. You may request addon aircraft to be incorporated into this system for upcoming versions.

A.L.S.S. INSTALLATION

  1. REQUIRED - Copy and paste (or drag and drop) the "f2f_modules" folder directly into your mission folder.
  2. REQUIRED - Copy and paste the following code into each "loader" objects init field:
    null = [this, 20] execVM "f2f_modules\f2f_alss\f2f_alss_init.sqf";
    • You can do this for as many objects as you please - no limit.
    • The number "20" represents the default radius in which an aircraft must stop in order for menu options to become available. You can change this number to suit your needs.

[*]OPTIONAL - Copy and paste the following code into an aircraft(s) init field to clear all ordinance upon mission start.

null = [this] execVM "f2f_modules\f2f_alss\f2f_exe\f2f_exe_vecInit_clrWe ps.sqf";
  • This is optional and is only needed for aircraft you wish to have weapons cleared for.

COMPATIBLE ADDONS

The following addons are compatible and highly recommended (not required by any means) with the ALSS script:

TECHNICAL / MODIFICATIONS

To change loadout weapon/magazine classes:

  1. OPEN FILE:
    ...\f2f_modules\f2f_alss\f2f_exe\f2f_exe_p.sqf
  2. FIND AIRCRAFT: The loadouts are organized by aircraft title and classname. You may also edit this file to incorporate additional mods.
  3. TO EDIT WEAPONS:
    ADD_WEP(WEP_CLASSNAME_GOES_HERE);
  4. TO EDIT MAGAZINES:

Great work! We have been discussing the need for this for some time now so this will make a lot of airforce lovers very happy. Btw do you plan to make a version that can be used with other vanilla and non-vanilla models as well? Thanks again for all the trouble.

Always good to have variety and doesnt harm acknowledging the authors efforts in his endeavour .

Thanks for the addon skynet, it reads promising.

I am glad this script was of use for your squad. Compatibility with other aircraft (included modded) has been on my mind, perhaps when I have a good amount of time I will look into it for the community.

Yes you are correct. The difference between this script and the Mando / Ace modules is that this is a script version and it uses loadouts based on mission profile, not individual selection.

Always good to have variety and doesnt harm acknowledging the authors efforts in his endeavour .

Thank you for the kind words. I hope you enjoy and find good use of the script.

F2F A.L.S.S. v2.0 Released!

This version consists of a complete redevelopment of the script. Now the installation is a simple two-step process. Addons are no-longer required yet are still compatible with the script (compatible addons are recommended for additional loadouts). This means future updates will consist of additional addon compatibilities. I am currently in the works of incorporating helicopters (both BIS and addons) into the system as well. ACE weapons and aircraft are also being considered for a future release.

If you have a specific aircraft addon (or weapons addon) which you would like to see incorporated into the system, please let me know via PM or at www.thefirst2fight.com.

HOTFIX for ALSS v2.1

If you have downloaded ALSS v2.1 and plan on using Myke's F-16C, please download the temporary hot fix which resolves many of the F-16C loadout issues. This hotfix will be incorporated into the next future version release.

Click Here for HOTFIX Download (HOTFIX no longer needed... has been incorporated into latest release)

After downloading, just replace the f2f_modules folder from v2.1 with the folder in the hotfix download. Enjoy! :yay:

Hey Skynet,

Have put this into my missions and it seems to work well. Couple of things however (not too big as ask ..... MUCH) Could we get all armed aircraft and armed helicopters to use this please :) :) :)

I have also found that there is a slight conflict with Blakeace's PseudoNavigation script where, when both are active, and choosing a loadout, the bombing reticle appears. Will also post in his thread to see if he has an answer.

Thank you, I hope you find many uses for this script in future missions! Have a nice flight!

Great progress! Opfor planes in future updates, I hope? :) Pretty please?

Well since you said "please"... I kid :). Yes, the Opfor aircraft are definitely on my list of "things to do", stay tuned!

Thanks again for taking the time to inform us of your updated release :cool:

Thank you for all your help!

I am slowly but surely getting all armed BIS aircraft incorporated into the system. Your desires are not going un-noticed, I will soon start my "test runs" on helicopters as well.

As for the PINS system, I am unsure as to what may be causing the conflict. Keep me informed if you get a response from Blake.
