For those who downloaded the "Pilot XX" missions, I had to remove them due to the new patch breaking things. I contacted and just talked to the author of the missions, who created them, and he said that the team has pretty much moved on from Arma and so no support in fixing them. However, he did give me permission to outsource them so if anybody can fix the mission type, then I'll be happy to send one over so you can fix it, and send the files that needed to be fixed and so on. But if not, then well I'm sorry the missions won't be coming back. I will save them though just in case. They just won't be coming back that's all.

Okay I've found the errors in the Pilot XX missions. When I select Dusk I get an immediate CTD, which is one of the scripted time changes. Also when I drop off people they don't disappear after a certain amount of time, so it's going to end up crowded when they should go away. If somebody can fix this, then either contact me via DM or post here (I'll get an email notification) if you can help me out as that seems to be the only issues with the missions.

Another script borking was the rearm/refuel chopper script that I'm sure everybody used for years. Well for me it doesn't work anymore. So I'm guessing this is an issue with most games and missions, and probably a Feedback Tracker entry has been added about it, given that it was used a lot (and a lot of missions that I've used too) and now no worky 😞

Looks like the new hotfix for 2.18 "fixed" the CTD issue so now my "Pilot XX" missions are working as intended.

Pilot MH-92 Cherokee CLA Clafghan (Coop 7)

 

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3357345583

 

Right now it's still WIP (I need feedback on things for sure even though I play it to error check and the like) though it's fairly "stable" for use. I decided to just do it on the Clafghan map because well, why not? The Diver missions are what they are right now as I don't know how to remove them, so you'll spend time dropping them in a river and so on. Requirements are listed on the Steam page.

Pilot MH-92 Cherokee CLA Clafghan (SP)

 

Simply an SP version of the MP mission above. Currently you're limited to the current number of crew. I need to look into a Squad Manager or something like that to allow replacements in case they die or something, but here it is currently.

Pilot CH-67 Huron Clafghan (Coop 7)

 

Just another mission, this time with the CH-67 Huron, so it should be appropriate for the map or so. So far it's only coop and I'll see what I can do from there. It doesn't require (or shouldn't, I think I got all the things) my Helicopter pack, but it does require the Clafghan Signature FIX map and the EricJ Taliban Units, and the Helicopter DLC.

Pilot MH-60M CLA Clafghan (Coop 7)

 

This is using the Project Hatchet MH-60M instead of my helos. While it's a "competitor" I do like the mod and enjoy the features in it so it's a keeper. All the mods needed are listed on the Steam page:

Been doing some thinking and came up with the idea to support the Expeditionary Forces CDLC by incorporating the units from that to populate the mission, and so on. I'm also thinking of the possibility of an MP version of the Pilot UH-1Y mission, if people want that, as I don't like flying the SP missions because I have to deal with the AI, and I don't like dealing with the AI, so I play the MP versions solo and so on. Overall I don't have much in the way of mission ideas, and can support only a few mods, notably the Hatchet H-60 mod, and some other possibly. I thought of doing a WY-55 mission, but that would just be having the ability to pilot the helo and nothing specialized. Given that it's not a NATO helo, it will make it a pain to transferring the boundaries and other stuff to fit it. Overall I think I'll just do the MP version of the UH-1Y mission. I'm not too big as I have to update a lot of maps similarly to incorporate changes, but it can change too.
