Welcome and thanks for the tip, I didn't know that haha

That's on EU3, this guy wants it on EU1. But I do agree, the fullcreen NVG's on EU3 are not really that comfortable to use

Welcome to the forums

Hi and welcome

I appreciate all of your feedback! Honestly I didn't plan on making this a huge guide with all of these procedures as I figured people on the forums would know these stuff. But later today I will update the guide including a "Bombing scenario" where I will be going through everything you need to do when bombing. This scenario will be including your points, thanks. Will be adding this to the "beginner-tips"-section later today as well. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forums! Hope to see ya ingame

I've tested your claims the last couple of days and I haven't blown up once. Therefore I've edited the guide so it should now be up to date In case the bug occurs again I've made a spoiler with the old take-off procedure to fix that.

Hiya and welcome to the forums

Continuing the boat trip haha

I just tried this on the server as an autorifleman, and I can't fly the jets as I get ejected whenever I go into the pilot seat. I only tried this with the buzzard though.

Thanks for your feedback! I have been doing this for a while, not taking any chances for it to blow up. It may have been fixed completely without me noticing, I've only been told that the UAV in the northern hangar doesn't blow up like it used to. I will be putting this to a test the next couple of days and if it turns out they don't explode, I'll have my guide changed

Welcome

I've read that you will be first in line in the pecking order for a pilot slot at mission start. The pecking order is something like this: Paying Subscribers -> Teamspeak users -> Known pilots -> anybody else. You will also be getting a AhoyWorld+ squad XML, where you will have the tag AW+ in your name and a logo to your uniform and vehicle.

Hello and welcome to the forums

Hello everybody. I've decided to make a guide on how to operate the UAV's. I will be covering pretty much everything, from take-off to bombing with the UAV. Before I start, I would like to credit Alganthe and Jason for their help creating this guide. The guide will be split up in the following parts Take-off Waypoints Weapons on the UAV Bombing Beginners tips Each part of the guide will be indicated clearly, so it will be easy to skip one part if you'd like 1. Take-off - Open up your UAV terminal. Connect to the greyhawk you wish to operate. - Taxi the Greyhawk to the runway and put your flaps all the way down. - Take-off! Remember to put your landing gear back up by pressing G (default) or using scrolling to do it. 2. Waypoints Whenever I play as a UAV Operator, I usually make my drones loiter around the AO awaiting targets. You will need to keep it at an altitude on 2000m to avoid being shot down by AA. To change the settings of a waypoint, simply right-click on it. Going to "Behavior" and selecting "Never fire" will ensure that your drone doesn't shoot off GBU's on its own when spotting an enemy. This way you can also change whether you want your drone to be loitering or just moving to your selected location. 3. Weapons on the UAV The Greyhawk is armed with 2 bombs named GBU. That means you will only be able to strike twice before having to return to the base rearming, which can be quite time consuming. Therefore be precise when dropping those bombs! The Greyhawk is also equipped with a "laser marker", making you able to lase targets for other drones or the wipeout. Pro tip: If you want your laser to lock onto something, press CTRL + T while aiming at that target to make your laser stay on it. If it's a tank it will move along with the tank and if it's a Radio Tower it will be staying on that tower even though your drone is moving around. 4. Bombing When someone is laser designating a target for you (or if you're lasering it yourself from your gunner): - Make sure to be approaching the target from the same direction they're lasing from. - Take controls of the driver and switch to manual fire. - Make sure you're selecting your GBU's (press F to toggle) - Now you gotta dive down a bit while pressing R until you see a square showing on the ground. - Wait for a "diamond / circle shaped"-figure to appear in the middle of that square, and once it does fire your GBU. 5. Beginners tips - You can activate base anti-air before taking off to make sure you won't get shot down by enemy CAS. - If it's your first time flying the drones, try sticking with "loitering" as this is what you will be using the most. - The options for loitering will determine the range the UAV will be circulating in. - The GBU's are laser guided bombs. - Lasering from the Greyhawk is unreliable since it's very shaky, therefore it's recommended to use the Darter-drone and make that laser designate for you. - Try not to drop down below 1500m when bombing to avoid getting shot. - If you feel uncomfortable flying the Greyhawk you can try downloading a sandbox mission and practicing offline. - When flying the greyhawk at 2000m you need to change your view distance to be able to see the ground using your camera. To do this, go to the HQ at spawn, go to the Arsenal-guy and find the "View distance"-button. Now you have to edit "on foot" to somewhere around 4000 depending on your loitering radius. If your Greyhawk blows up upon connecting to it at the hangar do the following: Please keep in mind that you may not go bombing as you please. Same rules applies to you as to the buzzard, you have to be called in! So wait for someone to call for air assistance and then you can laser yourself or get someone to laser for you. Of course you may loiter around the AO calling out targets for the ground infantry, but no bombing unless requested. Happy bombing!

Welcome to the forums

I doubt that the terminal came with the UAV bag. It usually doesn't if it's the regular ARMA Darter you're talking about

Are you planning on using this for a mission? I could imagine having that border you've made turned into an awesome warzone

Welcome, hope to see you on EU1 soon

Welcome

Will this include the removal of vanilla damage or is that something else?

I even got shot in the legs during your rescue causing me to crawl for 30 minutes, you should be grateful!

I would like to point out that these screenshots wouldn't have been possible without the greatest rescue mission organized my me and Coleminer

Even if it was possible to allow non-UAV operators to only control the darter drone, people would still be able to control each others drones, and allowing that would probably end up in a huge confusing chaos. So by limiting the UAV-terminal to only one role prevents this chaos from happening.

Yea, I know the struggle getting stuck in a tree...
