Pilot training

Description
This mission is designed to allow players to get aquanted to the different helicopters in arma.
In this mission you will get assigned randomly generated landing spots no more than 5000 meters from the player.

The landing position is marked by red smoke and a IR strobe, and the player has to land within 10 meters of that position.

When the player sucessfuly lands a new landing spot will be automatically generated.


The red smoke and an IR strobe will spawn when the player is within 800 meters of the landing zone (LZ) and will burn for the standard duration.

If the smoke stops before you land at the target you can use a radio/scroll menu trigger to spawn a new (orange) smoke grenade at the same position.

If the designated LZ is inapropriate (close to trees, wires, buildings), you can request a new LZ close by. It will be marked by green smoke and a new IR strobe.

Features:

Randomly genereted Landing zones
Every helicopter in game avaliable (if you have the DLC)
GUI based helicopter spawning (Moded helicopters can also be spawned)
Easily accesible triggers from the scroll action menu
Time skip (+3 hours and -1 hour)
IR strobe is spawned alongside the smoke to allow nighttime operation

Very nice! A great way to practice on a Sunday morning while my wife sleeps in!

I would only be interested in two things changed:
1- Lengthen the distance the waypoint disappears to add more of a challenge of finding the smoke.
2- Add a refuel point at the airport.

Regardless of these two things, great overall!
