Career mode mission type for transport aircraft


Recommended Posts

Posted

Since squadrons often have missions to relocate their aircraft to a new airfield on a given date for squadron moves, it occurred to me the other day that could open up a interesting mission variation  for transport pilots, simulating the movement of personel or equipment from an old base to a new one. The missions would fall on the same day that some comparatively near by squadron was moving airfields, and on the whole be similar to the existing delivery missions these squadrons fly. The difference would be that the player transport would spawn unloaded, with their first objective being to fly to the base the squadron was leaving , taxi to a parking area, and stop with the cargo door open for a while to load (essentially the reverse of the existing unload mechanic). Once loaded, the player would have to fly to the new airfield the squadron was transferring to, and unload their cargo there as in the current delivery missions. Finally, the player returns their aircraft to their own airbase. 

As an example, let say you're playing as a Dakota pilot in Normandy after the invasion as squadrons are moving to the continent. You'd take off from your base in England, land at another base in England, load up, fly across the channel, unload, then return home.
