You do not need to change the MH-60 references to HH-60. Simply call the scripts for this helo as would for the MH-60 Blackhawks. 2) Pavehawk Preset Markings a) The Pavehawks have been built using a special texture system allowing you to customise your helo. The following unit markings have been shipped with this version of the Pavehawk. Note these are all REAL WORLD units and aircraft. These tail codes exist today on real operational aircraft. 2x Davis Montham AFB 305th RQS (assigned to 939 RQW) - Tail Code DR- Seen in action in Iraq 1x Moody AFB 347th RQW - Tail Code MY - Lost in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom 1x NAS Keflavik 56th RQS - Tail Code IS - Recently seen action in Liberia 1x ANGB AP Colonel Francis S. Gabreski 106th ARSS - Tail Code LI - Perfect Storm HH-60G. 2x Nellis AFB 422nd TES (Test, Evaluation Squadron) - Tail Code WA 1x Kadena AFB, Japan - Tail Code ZZ b) The Moody AFB and ANGB AP Colonel Francis S. Gabreski contain special tributes in the cargo area that have significance. DocAFSOC explains: “That Others may live†this is the motto of the USAF Pararescueman. The tributes you will find on two of the aircraft included in this pack represent the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice. One in the war on Terror  ..The others doing battle with the wind and water. The aircraft in this pack with the LI tail code is in memory of TSGT Arden “Rick†Smith who was lost to us on a dark and stormy October night while on mission to rescue the crew of the swordboat “Andrea Gail†.  Rick gave his life to rescue others …A PJ till the very end. Rick was lost in what they called “the perfect stormâ€. Rick was a member of the 106th ARRS based out of Long Island New York. to the crew of Jolly 110 and TSGT Smith’s family go the Thanks and This Tribute the we at BAS have dedicated to a brave man …and last but not least ..a good friend to those who knew him. This also goes out to the crew of Jolly 110.Pilot Dave Ruvola, Co-Pilot Graham Buschor,Flight Engineer Jim Mioli and Pararescueman John Spillane.    The second airframe tribute is to the Crew of Komodo One One lost on mission during operation Enduring Freedom. The mission was a med evac of two afgan children The aircraft and crew were lost on 23 March of 2003 the air crew was out of Moody AFB in Georgia. The names of the crew are as follows. Pilot :Lt. Col. John Stein, 39, Bardolph, IL Co Pilot: 1st Lt. Tamara Archuleta, 23, Los Lunas, NM Flight Engineer: Staff Sgt. Jason Hicks, 25, Jefferson, SC ParaRescueman :Master Sgt. Michael Maltz, 42, St. Petersburg, FL ParaRescueman :Senior Airman Jason Plite, 21, Lansing, MI Flight Engineer:Staff Sgt. John Teal, 29, Dallas, TX This also goes out to all of the brave men and women who have taken this creed to heart and “done these things we do ..That others may live†… - DocAFSOC …BAS member and active duty AF Thanks on this go to Tigershark and the Rest of the Bas team for turning a small request in to a long lasting friendship. “wherever a pilot in his jet may roam …a jolly can always bring him home†3) Default Units in Mission Editor When you first add a Pavehawk in the mission it is pre-programmed with a default unit marking to save you having to individually set all the various textures around the aircraft. By executing another script you can easily change these markings but each Pavehawk variant has a set marking setup to begin with. These are: HH-60G - Tail Code DR 90224 HH-60G Block 152 - Tail Code WA 87011 MH-60G - Very little markings...most removed. 4) Using preset markings To change the markings on your Pavehawk to one of the preset markings provided by BAS simply place this line in the initialisation field of the helo: [this, "#marking#"] exec "\bas_hh60g\scripts\set_markings.sqs" In place of the #marking# use one of the following: dr  (Davis Montham AFB - DR 90224) dr2 (Davis Montham AFB - DR 90228) wa  (Nellis AFB - WA 87011) wa2 (Nellis AFB - WA 87012) is  (NAS Keflavik - IS 94109) li  (ANGB AP Colonel Francis S. Gabreski - LI 89110) my  (Moody AFB - MY 94011) zz  (Kadena AFB) eg. [this, "dr"] exec "\bas_hh60g\scripts\set_markings.sqs" 5) Customising your aircraft manually Each custom marking texture can be set individually by you. You may choose to either set the texture with one supplied by BAS or you may also design your own for inclusion. This means you may actually make your own tail codes and airframe numbers if you wish and these to individual aircraft in the mission editor. To set an individual texture on the aircraft you must use this command in the initialisation field of the unit. this setobjecttexture [#texturenumber#, "#texturename#"] eg. this setobjecttexture[8,"\bas_hh60g\b\tail_dr.paa"] The images HH60G_back.jpg and HH60G_front.jpg list the numbers for each texture that can be modified on the Pavehawk. Please refer to these images to obtain the #texturenumber# value. SCRIPT PROBLEMS? For additional help with these scripts please request TJ directly, at TJfx@ballistic.com, but these are meant for ADVANCED mission makers. Budding mission makers can find plenty of advice about script implementation in the various OFP forums and at www.ofpec.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billabong81 0 Posted February 29, 2004 Same as MLF, I thought it was an early release! We'll just have to wait until tomorrow. Readme looks promising though, especially with all those effects (even though most are from MH60) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
