Stratis Revitalized Sandbox [SP / MP COOP / ZEUS]

Description
Welcome to RotarRooter's Stratis Revitalized Sandbox, a helicopter and airplane focused sandbox! This scenario is the product of several months worth of work renovating the whole island. Please take a moment to rate and favorite if you feel inclined to do such.

This scenario can be launched as either single player or a multiplayer mission for you to play solo or as COOP. Stratis has been completely reimagined with over 5,000 hand placed items. Pretty much every location has been changed. The main airbase is now a helicopter base (mainly but still has jets) Kamino has an airfield and runway!! And everywhere else has been completely transformed. The views on the island are very nice now to say the least. You can find the rest of the awesomeness by just exploring around. I have included practically every vehicle from BLUFOR, OPFOR, INDEPENDENTS, and CIVILIANS. (Use Zeus function if you need more, or enemies to shoot at.) These vehicles are spread around at different FOB areas. All vehicles are unlocked so you should be able to get in any of them. (Except the planes that are on the front of the Carrier. Those are just decoration.)

I have also included some scripts to enhance the scenario. A couple of helis that are usually unarmed have multiple munitions now. (The black helis by the ION signs near the barracks at the main airbase) The whole island is really done up. I wanted to give it the feel like they got some government bail out money to build it up. There is a LOT to see and do. Of note is that I fixed almost all of the broken fences on the island. No more gaps every 20 meters in walls or fences. Bases have T-walls like in real world combat zones, and there are several road checkpoint areas and FOBs.
The main player (Noted in lobby for multiplayer games) is Zeus enabled: just press the "Y" key to access. The main player also has all virtual supports (CAS Heli Attack, Artillery Strike, Helicopter Transport, Supply Drop, CAS Bombing Run) as well as control over MANY drones; including naval defenses for the carrier group. In Single player TEAM SWITCHING is enabled so you can switch to another team member if you die. In MP games you will respawn at your choice of several locations. You have 3 other AI pilots and 4 Heli Crew to start the mission off with.

There are 10 cheats you can use by bringing up the radio menu by pressing 0-0 in game on you keyboard. They include: 1) skipping time ahead by 5 hours. Do this a couple of times to get night time!. 2) Bad weather. This makes the weather instantly overcast and rainy. 3) Good weather. This makes the weather instantly sunny and nice. 4) Full Health. This fully heals you the player. 5) Invincible mode. You the player become invincible. 6) Not invincible Mode. You the player become mortal and can once again sustain damage / die. 7) Insert Earplugs. Decreases sound in game. Useful for flying loud helis and planes 8) Take Out Earplugs. Returns volume to normal 9) Disable Vehicle Damage. Activate this while in a vehicle to give the vehicle invincibility. 10) Enable Vehicle Damage. Allows the vehicle to be damaged.

Overall this is a multi-faceted sandbox for doing almost anything you might think of. There is increased functionality for flight ops with 2,000 meter map dotted lines leading in to the airfields, and carrier to help you line up your approach when landing.

***(SCENARIO FEATURES)***

- Zeus enabled to create friendlies or enemies in real time (Just press "Y" to enter/exit Zeus mode)
- Virtual Arsenal access from ammo boxes near helis at start and at shooting range as well as from Huron Cargo containers
- Many "Cheats" available via the radio menu in game. To bring the menu up press 0-0 on your keyboard
- USS Freedom Aircraft Carrier - with multiple aircraft on board ready to fly
- Tomb of the Unknown Soldier / graveyard
- Ability to change to night, or even bad weather via radio menu (Press 0-0" to bring up the menu)
- Virtual Supports ( CAS Heli Attack, Artillery Strike, Helicopter Transport, Supply Drop, CAS Bombing Run )
- Repair, Rearm, and Refuel your vehicles at the airfield, on the carrier, or other locations with dedicated mechanic areas. See the in game map for icons of locations to get services.
- Start the mission with control over several AI heli pilots / crew members to do OPS with. Or just leave them at base, they are A.I. They do not care. (F2,F3, and F4 are helicopter pilots. F5,F6,F7, and F8 are Helicopter Crew)

* This scenario can be run in Single Player or Multiplayer which allows COOP. If launched in multi player while playing solo you will have access to player respawns so it is recommended to play in Multiplayer even if playing solo.

** Note to mission makers, this scenario is not binarized. Feel free to open the .pbo and customize it yourself to be whatever suits you. If you do let me know! I would love to see your edit.

@HuskyStrylight I just checked my PC to see what was up and there was a steam message saying I had to agree to the latest steam workshop agreement to finish publishing it. All should be good to go now!

is there a reason why your firewill pack is not available anymore?

Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, I'm clueless when it comes to editing and modding. Yeah man, both USAF and Firewill have great aircraft with numerous capabilities.

This scenario is kind of my ability limit for the time being, not quite sure how to add in a vrtual garage without just using a mod. Nothing stops you from loading up another mod to play with this though like SVAG (spawn vehicles and gear) But from the Firewill pack I host I have learned that you cannot spawn the vehicles from mods that look the vehicles up a certain way. (Cannot quite remember it was either they are not seen from virtual garage or zeus menu... something like that.) Depending on your skill level in editing you could always save the PBO, un-pbo it, and then edit the mission to include Firewill jets if you like. If I were to make a variant with USAF mod or Firewill where I replaced all Helis with jets would that be of interest to you? Make Kamino USAF jets and Main Airbase Firewill jets? Hit me with your ideas man. I am just happy to hear people are enjoying the scenario!
Riley1983 23 Aug, 2020 @ 12:01am 
Any chance you can add a virtual garage to this so we can fly Firewill or USAF jets? Or is it just the vanilla aircraft?

@Zaballa I was finally able to test the mission out, and it works for me launching in both MP and SP modes. Were you able to get it to work for you?
critter 5 Jul, 2020 @ 4:08pm 
I can try using it with just the map itself and see if that works. thanks for the response!
