what vehicles are needed to repair aircraft?

[socrgy9]

what vehicles do i need to add in order to repair my aircraft? and do they have to be on an airfield or do they only work on an airfield?

 

my friend and i are playing a huey troop drop mission another user uploaded. i've created missions before and added an HEMTT TFFT and the Tanker M978 HEMTT and an APC M1025 HMMWV all close to each other, on an airfield, and had no problem gettin repairs for my huey. however, when i put these same vehicles out in the grass next to each other, they don't work.

 

what are the stipulations for creating ground repair crews and getting vehicle repairs? i'm having trouble finding this stuff.

 

thanks!

Hi

 

Ver 1. Airport is a coalition RED or BLUE if you Blue the base can be blue

 

Ver 2. Vehicles on base if base Neutral. Tanker M978 HEMTT, M818, HMMWV Unarmed

 

Ver 3. If you do not want to rpair or rearming in airport. Create FARP base. Necessary Farp Base vehicles: M978 HEMTT, M818, M1025 HMMWV,

Necessary Farp Base Structures: Farp Ammo Depot, Farp Fuel Depot, Farp Command post and Farp Tent

 

should preferably located within a 150 meter radius farp base units

ah! thank you! i figured out how to create a farp base...you have to insert a "heliport" and have those structures you listed next to the heliport. well, i use a heliport because we're playing the UH-1 module.

 

thanks for the help!!

well, i got the heliport set up and i can refuel, however i cannot re-arm or repair or have the ground crew turn on ground power. they always say "unable to comply."

 

i'm attaching an image of the set-up.

Stick some M-818 trucks in there. You've got a tanker truck there, hence the reason you get fuel I assume.

that did the trick! thanks! i changed the Humvee i had in there to an M818 transport truck and i now have repairs and rearming.

would that be possible for planes as well, or only for helicopters???

[dooom]

interesting thought David... I think i see where you are going with this... maybe if we string together enough farps they can mimic a field strip and let one re-arm?? Might be worth a try and reporting back...

[dooom]

reporting back - cant string farps - tooooo bumpy. maybe I'll try placing a farp by a road and taxiing up to it....

^^done that already dooom...so far, i couldnt get the plane to either rearm repair, nor to refuel...atc though answers when requesting for landing.

Which vehicles from the non NATO side do you need for Ver 2 and Ver 3?
