ARF objects

[=JFC=Danger13]

Hi, i was wondering if there was a way to increase the people count with the ARF objects?

ARF objects? My best guesses are...

• Almost ready to Fly?
• Abort, Retry, Fail?
• A dog barking...
• A Redhot Frank hotdog?
• Acute Respiratory Failure

This is my bad attempt at being humorous... What is an ARF object? Please enlighten me.

airfield objects, I guess. arf_ is the prefix that static blocks at airfields use.

As for the question of "increasing the people count", if that means "increasing number of slots in multiplayer", then the answer is no. This is a setting in the SDS config file. Max is 84.

Hmm... ? Maybe he means how to get more than 5-6 pilots to spawn at the same time, at an airfield? There are two types of airfields that players can spawn at. The first is the fakefield MCU which only lets you spawn in about 6 pilots at a time. While these six pilots are firing up their engines, the rest of the team will get a message saying, "The airfield conditions have changed." Here's what it looks like in the editor:

 

 

The other airfield type is the fakefield_respawner MCU. This one will allow more than 6 or more pilots, but in doing so, those extra pilots will spawn in a second row. This can be confusing for fighter jocks, because their plane is tilted upwards usually (tail draggers). I recommend this MCU for bombers and tricycle geared planes. Here's what that looks like:

 

Hope this helps.

No, the arf objects for populating the airfields with ground crew, atm they only spawn 1 crew member, i would like to increase that to 3 or 4.

Page 53 of the il2 manual

Populate an Airfield With Soldiers
You can populate an airfield with soldiers that move around various objects. This ability can
make your missions more realistic.
Do the following:
1. Place block objects starting with the following prefixes:
• arf_ammo
• arf_caponiers
• arf_dugouts
• arf_hangers
• arf_nets
• arf_tower

The number of soldiers walking around ammo nets and such is coded to the object. It cannot be altered in the ME. 

 

I believe some of them have 2
