General Notes
• The Master player is the only one who can close the Mission Planner.
• If the Master player closes the Mission Planner before all leaders
TRANSMIT FARP
DATA
, the last data that the master received from each FARP will be saved. Any
other changes that were not transmitted will be lost.
• Information for a FARP with at least one human player can only be modified by
the lead pilot for that FARP. The FARP leader picks the helicopter types and
weapon loadouts for all helicopters at that FARP.
• If a FARP is not computer-controlled, a human pilot must fly in the lead pilot’s
position. This means that a human player cannot fly as a computer pilot’s wing-
man.
• All players can remove themselves from any pilot or CP/G seat and move into
another seat in a different helicopter. (This automatically replaces the empty
seat with a computer pilot CP/G.)
• Only pilots can place another player in their helicopter’s CP/G seat.
Changing Tasking Window Data
The Master player, team leader
and FARP leaders are the only
ones that can change data in the
Mission Planner’s Tasking window.
All players, however, can see the
Tasking window and all of the
information for each FARP.
If the FARP leader starts modifying
data for his or her FARP, the text
on the summary panel turns red.
This lets other players know that
the data is currently being
changed. Once all information is
edited, the team and FARP lead-
ers select
TRANSMIT FARP DATA from the System menu to send the information to all
other players.
After all modifications have been made, and all FARP leaders have transmitted
their FARP data to other players, the text turns black. (If any changes are made
before the Mission Planner is closed by the Master player, however, the text will
turn red again.)
The Mission Planner windows on the following pages have multi-player options:
