Had a lovely time! Couldn't even find a trace of the man lost at sea. Good enough reason to play it again!

this was really fun

Nice

I just completed it with Advanced Flight Model on with no problem at all. A very well put together mission for sure, could have been longer. Took me exactly 5min 30sec to complete from take off to landing. I feel like it could have been a bit longer, but otherwise overall awesome non-combat mission for sure, gotta love the change of pace once in a while. Keep up the good work!!

@Klopsenator otherwise it may be due to the get in action only appearing on the left side at the door :)

Yes I did :) The objective was solved. Otherwise I will try it a third time ^^

@Klopsenator Did you pick up the pilot helmet in the tent? Safety first ;)

I can't get in chopper ^^"

@Chance Callahan Thanks!

Great mission! ArmA needs more non-combat heli missions like this.

@Ostap Thanks for the feedback! I try to create scenarios for beginners and veterans alike, though that will need compromises. If you still seek a challenge you may try it with the advanced flight model on; I got very close to completing it but ultimatley gave up on it. Perhaps someone better at heli flying than me may take on the challenge :)

Quite enjoyable. Short, and wasn't really very challenging for my tastes, but nevertheless well designed and executed. Thanks for the experience.

@Aasgeyer Great that will definitely help out anybody who has that problem!

@zanysmith After thinking about it: Task will now be canceled, if the rescue boat dies. Thanks again for the feedback!

Yeah some of Armas AI could use some work but thanks for the help!

@Dator Спасибо! (via translator)

Это было занимательно =)

@zanysmith Oof, yeah. Thats Arma AI with boats. But i haven't found a way to circumvent the problem except hoping that the ship is not in the path of the boat. But thanks for the feedback!

I had a small problem where i reported the position right where the boat is and the boat team drove straight into the boat at high speeds and sunk and once that happened i couldnt really progress through the mission. not sure why it happened just wanted to bring it to your attention. :) either way, Great Mission!

@Ianassa Accepted ;)

@Mudokon Thanks!

@Asgeyer I think I need to be steam friends with you in order to tag you as a co-contributor. I've sent you a request :)

Nice mission, well done!

If you need the mission file from Github:

Haha thanks

Of course! I'll even make you a co-contributor.

Sure thing! Just mention me somewhere ;)

Oh, did not realize the location was randomized. That's actually really cool

Would you mind if I take your mission as a template to create something similar sometime in the future? I have a mod that has a texture for a coastal rescue version of the Mohawk, which is why this mission really caught my eye in the first place :)

@Ianassa Thanks for the encouraging words and the feedback! I incorporated it in the latest update (see change notes).
Beginning the mission
My concept was to choose a random place on the whole map, but you are right that it may lead to extensive travel times
Rescuing
This may also be due to the longer travel time. The farther away the ship is, the more time is spent travelling there, thus losing time for the rescue. I reduced the radius.
Securing cargo
I'll admit that was my concern too that it may become too repetitive. I reduced the cargo amount and included a save inbetween.
Ending
Thanks! A lot of time was spent testing the multiple endings. Glad you noticed! There are 8 endings, 7 win, 1 loose by the way ;)

Securing cargo
Absolutely loved the concept and the challenge on this. Having the trawler wave in the tought conditions and the lights reflecting on the waves made for an exiting challenge and great atmosphere. The collection point was neat too, and not too far from the trawler. However, collecting the cargo got repetetive after the 3rd (how many were they, 6-7?). After I finally messed up on taking up the last one and had my helicopter blow up, I couldn't bother myself to do it all again and simply canceled the mission after reverting to the autosave.

Ending
This leads me to the endin, which was well executed and I also appreciated the ability to call the mission off. The chemlights on the man on the ground receiving you back to base was a nice touch, and I can tell there are multiple ending scenarios based on the one I got. Again, Kudos!

-Cheers

Hi. Just played the mission and here's my feedback:

First of all, I absolutely loved the concept of a coastal rescue mission. It's something I've been musing on myself and seeing it executed so well really ramps up the inspiration to make one myself too. Kudos for all the attention to detail, especially the little things such as pre-flight checks. Definitely deserves a like and a favorite from me.

About the objectives:

Beginnin the mission
The flight all the way from ACC airfield to the eastern coast felt a little long for my taste, same goes naturally for the flight back. Of course this is not a major issue

Rescuing the drowning man
I didn't find him, but I do not fault the mission for it (it's tough weather conditions after all). In fact, I loved that the mission get's called off after a while to prevent the player from endlessly searching for him.

@Hevron Thanks for the help! Ending is now properly implemented (see change notes)

@Aasgeyer Both :) I just had to save and exit.

@MdRk Fuel is added when you turn on the collision lights. That is done to hinder the player from taking off before the pre flight check is completed.

@Hevron Do you mean the outro screen text does not appear and no debriefing is shown? Or is the mission not marked as finished?

I have completed the mission. Overall nice and pleasant mission, but one thing: when we land on the helipad and turn engine off, all of the tasks are completed but the mission doesn't end.

@Aasgeyer Thanks for help! I dont know why it didnt pop up when I was circling the heli. I didnt had this problem with other helis.

@Hevron On the left side of the heli behind the cockpit there is a door painted on the model. Only there you can enter the pilot seat. It is only a small area the get in action will show up. Try facing the helicopter and stand close and it should be there.

I walked around the heli couple of times with the helmet on the head and there is no icon to enter, only to resupply.

I have grabbed the helmet and still cannot enter the heli.

@Hevron The heli is locked until you grab the helmet on the table in the starting tent. Hope that helps!

@Wojciech Hmmm... Did it not work on the barrels? Or do you mean you tried to sling load the man? Because your task is to call the rescue boat to his position via the communications menu (0-8-1). Hope that clears things up!

I cant get in to the helicopter.

I found that guy overboard but my sling did not work at all.

Thanks!

Well done. No issues to report. Great scenario to practice HELI skills

Appreciate the quick response. will give it a try tonight and let you know how it goes

@luv.dat.puss Thanks for the report! Found the error and it's cause and (should have) fixed it. Also changed that player now shows up on map.

seems like it has potential but player does not show up on map and when calling for rescue boat they report to grid 00000 so thats an auto fail
