[Arctic SAR] is a semi-dynamic set of missions, where you conduct search and rescue operations from a base in the arctic region.
Create a new save:
Game mode - Custom
Select Arctic Island Base
Enabled Addons - Workshop -> Arctic SAR
(configure Official addons to your taste etc.)
Want to load a mission, or change to a different mission, use "?load" for a new random mission or "?load n" where n is 1, 2, 3 or 4 (see mission types)
Mission types:
(each mission has it's own modifiers, to keep things interesting)
1 - An aircraft has ditched in the ocean. Find and recover survivors
2 - Transport a critically ill patient to a higher level of medical care
3 - Evacuate crew of a sinking boat / perform a medevac / perform a man overboard search
4 - Transport or sling supplies to a boat
[Arctic SAR] is initially set up as a career style playthrough, e.g. with fixed starting money and fuel available (fuel can be purchased normally).
Or you can use the Custom Menu to configure however you want to play.
Mission time defaults to 2 in-game days, so I don't recommend adjusting the Day/Night Duration.
I'd say this is probably on the difficult side of things, in terms of missions.
I made it because I like the arctic region, and there's not many missions for it.
Also so I'd have more missions to use my own helicopter in. That being said, that means it was designed with it's capabilities in mind.
You can use whatever aircraft (or boat? not thought to try a boat for any of these yet) you like, but you'll probably want to include the following capabilities:
- hoist persons to/from a target at sea
- be able to locate a transponder signal
- be able to locate a target by radar (also possible by just visually searching, as the search area is smaller for this modifier type)
So if you like a design challenge, or want to put your aircraft through it's paces, this mission set could be for you!
Also it's the first time I've made a mission, so bug reports/feedback/ideas and additions all welcome.
