PS :
Thanks to all those other people
that made scripts that I made use of.


The Support Pack Scripts only
SupportV1

Test Mission Arma Standard
SuportPackTestMission

Test Mission for Queens Gambit
SuportPackTestMission-QG

I tried your previous airstrike script and I liked it.
Gonna try this for sure.

Is it possible to include targetting via laserdesignator? (just an idea I had)

I mean: When call for an airstrike and the planes are inbound they should group with you so you are able to paint the target for them. (in theory)

 

[Michael]

Im not sure that will be needed as you can target with binoculars
and if it is a live tank or car ect the target will lock on to it
no matter where it moves and the plane will track it and do a missile run
if it is empty or damaged past 0.8 the plane will do a bombing run

i dont realy want to give players to much control of the planes

but if you think it will help after you test it as is
i will have a look at it in SupportV2

also support V2 will be death match capable
airborne vehicle death match should be fun

[Michael]

Some adjustments have been made
so please re download the support pack
if you already have done so
