FARPS - Barmy's TrainSet

Recommended Posts

Not a mission as much as a script demonstration.

Three start points (BLUFOR)Paraiso Airbase, Bangango "Tank Factory", and (OPFOR)Pita "Air Strip".

All contain rather damaged aircraft, jump in any aircraft and the required vehicles will scutter along and service you.

Repair first ( damaged trucks can leak fuel), then refuel then resupply. Also in my experience the driving ability of the AI means having them all show up at once results in slower service times not faster.

Almost worth loading up for the comedy value of the AI driven trucks at times.

The script is designed to scale, ie handle multiple trucks repairing multiple helicopters.

Copes with the current "cannot rearm if all ammunition depleted" problem on helicopters, ie. you've fired all your rockets or hellfires.

The only spoiler is a nasty fault wrt Dedicated servers where resupply trucks get stuck, because MG and/or FFAR ammo counts keep getting reset to zero before resupply is complete. ( ibelive this only occurs where a gunner is missing).

Nice job, can't say I share your 'oddly soothing' feeling for watching the trucks do their shit but it does make things seem more realistic, and dynamic. Means the player can land at any H pad and get refuled instead of having to go to a particular one as you do if the trucks were on WP's.

You should post this in the Mission Editing catagory though, seems more appropriate and where people would look for something like this.
