[Take On Helicopters - Rearmed Mod Download

[Eliora Shopbell]

From what I'd guess, the soviet engineers made it possible to rearm/change weapon pods during engines running. Was this just not implemented yet, or does ED have sources that even in combat areas, Mi-8 crews would have to shut down both engines to rearm (this would take many minutes...) ?

DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do. (After all there's enough hostility on the internet already which really doesn't help anyone. Thanks.)

Repairing needs the engines to be spooled down and off. Rearming can be done by opening the window and putting the switch in the intercom position, after that, refueling and rearming should be possible.

Dragen, Gripen, Hornet etc are/were refueled and rearmed engines running. That is why you get 10-15min turn around times with those on ground bases. You don't turn engines of unless there is a engine problems, meaning you don't fly for next hours before engine is either swapped or repaired, meaning anyways removing engine from fuselage.

Daniel, just because you have been posting this exact same issue everywhere on the forums with modules, and especially listing it as a DCS bug does not make it an actual bug or problem. You need to have your engines off. You have been giving this answer numerous times and you have still posted in many places hoping for something different.

On the night of October 19th / morning of October 20th, 2001, US Special Operations Forces (SOF) carried out a large scale airborne operation into the heart of Taliban-held Afghanistan. Their were 2 objectives, code named Objective Rhino and Objective Gecko.

This was assaulted by troops from the 3rd Battalion, the 75th Ranger Regiment who were to parachute onto the objective. Before the Rangers dropped, several targets on and around the objective were softened up, first by bombs dropped from B2 stealth bombers, then by fire from orbiting AC-130 aircraft. These air strikes resulted in a number of enemy KIAs and several enemy fleeing the area. Following the air strikes, 4 MC-130 Combat Talon aircraft flew over the drop zone at 800 feet. In zero illumination, 199 Rangers proceeded to exit the MC-130s. The Ranger's objectives were to:

• seize the landing strip
• destroy any Taliban forces
• gather intelligence
• assess the suitability of the landing strip for future operations
• establish a forward aerialrefuel/rearm point (FARP) for helicopters involved in the nearby operation at Objective Gecko

Once on the ground, A Company, 3/75 Rangers, cleared several objectives, code named TIN and IRON, meeting minimal resistance. C Company moved out towards a walled compound, code named objective COBALT. PSYOP specialists from the 9th Psychological Operations Battalion, broadcast messages on loud speakers in an attempt to coax any defenders to surrender but it was soon established that the compound was empty. With the landing strip secured, a MC-130 landed with medical personnel onboard who proceeded to treat 2 Rangers who had been injured during the jump. USAF Combat Controllers surveyed the landing strip, assessing it for possible future use. They also communicated with the AC-130s which were circling high overhead. When a small number of enemy troops and vehicles were spotted approaching the area, the AC-130s engaged and destroyed them. MH-60 and MH-47 helicopters, flown by the 160th SOAR and taking part in the operation at Objective Gecko, soon arrived and were refueled and rearmed at the FARP which had been established using MC-130 tankers. Once rearmed and refueled, the SOAR helicopters took off and left the area. With all objectives completed, the Rangers and CCTs boarded the MC-130s which soon departed. PSYOP leaflets were left behind for any Taliban who might have ventured onto the scene over the coming days. The same airstrip was later to be seized by the United States Marines following a reconnaissance operation by US Navy SEALs. It would later become known as Camp Rhino.

Obj Gecko was a large walled compound belonging to the meritorious one-eyed Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar. Omar's compound was situated in the city of Kandahar.

Delta's objective was to raid the compound, kill any Taliban inside (hopefully including Omar himself) and gather up any intelligence found there. The Rangers were to provide a security perimeter around the Delta operation. Before the troops arrived, USAF AC-130 and MH-60L DAP gunships fired on the area around the compound. A fleet of MH-60 and MH-47 helicopters then flew the Delta/Rangers assault group in. As the Rangers set up blocking positions, Delta entered the compound and began to clear it. There were no Taliban forces inside the compound and there are mixed reports of whether any useful intelligence was found inside. It has been reported that as the assault force were preparing to extract from Obj Gecko, they were ambushed by a large number of Taliban who were armed with a large supply of rocket-propelled grenades. Delta and the Rangers extracted from the area under heavy fire. A MH-47 was hit and lost a piece from its landing gear as it took off. At least one soldier was injured during the firefight, reportedly having a foot blown off by an RPG.

The operations at Rhino and Gecko have since drawn criticism. Detractors state that the raids had little military value and seem to be designed primarily as psychological operations, the effectiveness against fanatical forces such as the Taliban or Al Qaeda have been called into question. Others say that the raids were meant as something visible for the American public, in contrast to the covert CIA / Special Forces operations that were taking place in secret. Footage of the Ranger operation at Obj Rhino as shown on the nightly news, a fact that supports this contention.

THERE THEY ARE again, flying slowly and ominously against a colored sky...the helicopters. Followed by unsettling yet compelling footage of civilians, of soldiers, of generals and of Presidents, the opening of public television's monumental series, Vietnam: A Television History heralds what may be the best historical documentary yet televised. And so it should be, for Vietnam was America's first televised war. Aired on Tuesday nights at 9:00 (Channel 2) from October 4 to December 20. Vietnam offers a vivid and unprecedented account of the Indochinese conflict.

Six years and more than $4 million went into PBS's representation of a war which lasted over 12 years taking as its toll over $150 billion, and more than 57,000 American lives. The 13 terse and instructive episodes start with China's domination in the first century and end with an assessment of the war's effects on Vietnam and the United States. Marked by a no-frills production, the footage and interviews speak for themselves. By presenting both old and new images, thoughts and perspectives, the film provides a detailed and provocative, and yet somehow ambiguous, treatment of what happened in Southeast Asia.

Surprisingly, the idea for the series was conceived in 1977 when General William Westmoreland suggested that Boston-affiliated WGBH depict the Vietnam story from a military perspective. "The Westmoreland meeting got us thinking. In the end, we decided to develop a series encompassing all points of view," one producer recalls. Organizing the ambitious project came with risks as the producers began researching and structuring a vast and complicated subject without knowing how the public would react. Even though most corporations refused to fund the controversial topic, with help from ABC (which also provided all their archive material from news reels plus outtakes--royalty free), various foundations, the National Endowment for the Humanities and of course the Chubb Group, WGBH embarked on supervising the project.

THE PRODUCTION OF the series is a story in itself; producers attended six weeks of "Vietnam School," including seminars taught by Southeast Asia scholars, seasoned correspondents and other specialists. While the producers hired more than 60 consultants over the course of the project; researchers scoured over 70 film archives around the world collecting rare material from such places as the Hanoi Documentary Studios, the U.S. Army and the United Nations.
