Ingame Briefing
Situation
We received a distress call from a civilian ship off the coast of Altis. Most of the crew evacuated, but one person went overboard. Additionally the ship carries hazardous substances. The crew was able to gather that cargo on the deck ready to be slingloaded. The AAF is present with a heavy helicopter at the Altis Air Field. We deployed trucks to the coast near the ship. An IDAP boat is on standby to take in the man that went overboard. The weather is difficult as it is and is getting even worse. Strong winds, heavy rain and high waves hinder the rescue effort. The dwindling daylight makes the situation even worse.
Mission
Find the man overboard and get the cargo off the ship!
Execution
1. Grab your gear
2. Lift off
3. Find the man overboard
4. Guide the IDAP boat to his position
5. Sling the cargo off the ship and get it to the collection point.
6. Return to base
Signal
Echo - Helicopter (you)
Base - Airbase coordinating the effort
Alpha - Trucks on the shore
Boat Team - IDAP rescue boat
Weather Forecast
The weather will change over the next hour or so.
We expect heavy rain and storm with strong gusts. There may be lightning.
Waves may become two meters high. We expect the survival chance of the survivor
to decrease over time. The IDAP boat can not operate with waves this high,
meaning at around 1940 hours the IDAP boat must pull back.
If the weather gets too bad, we will have to abort the mission.
We expect this to be around 2000 hours.
Author’s Notes
Tip for finding the man over board: He wears a yellow vest and has a yellow chemlight attached.
Tip: use the PIP sling loading cam on the side panels.
Tip: open the sling load assistant with Right Ctrl + B (default).
In case you wish to end the mission sooner you can do so by activating Trigger Alpha (press 0-0-1). This will advance the mission to the last stage, after which your performance will still be evaluated.
Be careful with those main rotor blades on the ship! The trawler has an antenna sticking out on the front.
