May 22, 201115 yr Time to show my ignorance of ANW again I guess. I'm trying to get a handle on launching helo's loaded with troops to take over other enemy units. I can create a mission to have a CH-46 loaded with troops launch and sieze an ammo dump, but the same helo flat out will not do the same to a merchant ship off the coast at roughly the same distance. The helo shows as being assigned to the mission, but never launches. If I launch it first and make the assignment while it is loitering, it again seems to accept the order, but never goes anywhere. What am I doing wrong here? Thanx, Buddha

I can't think of anything I did differently, so I'd be lying if I claimed to understand why. Here's what I was using. It's based on an old training scenario we used when I worked in Saudi Arabia as an instructor. Buddha Cheers Darren
May 24, 201115 yr I am in Halifax, Nova Scotia for the time being and while I have access to a better description of what you are asking, it is several decks and around 250 feet away from me at the moment.... Simply put, there's a series of scriptable features available for missions that allow the user to specify pretty much anything that he or she wants to do with regards to how platforms conduct their missions. Right down to altitude and speed and actions to take if attacked. There's a wiki page on it but its only got the bare bones of a description. When I get home [i'm up to my eyebrows in regulatory and inspection issues] I should be able to post some more information. Sorry I can't be of more help for now. Later D

Later D D I finally got things to where I could carry out boarding operations with ships and helos. There's no telling what I was screwing up at first, but everything seems OK now. The scripts you mention sound useful as hell. I'll look foreward to hearing about them. I've seen some mention of them in the manual, but didn't really understand the writeup. Maybe an explanation from someone who uses them will make it clear. Thanx, Buddha

I am trying to complete the Lesson IX tutorial scenario, I can do the UnRep exercise and and blast the EW and Cmd Bunker but can't get the helos to take the ground targets or the ship. Any help would be appreciated. Martin
