Flight Deck Ops – cruisers, destroyers, frigates
Formerly the FDO – cruisers, destroyers, frigates was known as the Air deck operations upgrade – cruisers, destroyers, frigates. Helicopters have got holding and landing patterns and in consequence don’t land directly from their heading, avoiding passing through vessels’ masts. On vessels with 2 helos and 1 landing spot holding and landing patterns eliminate situations, when helos land at the same time.
On vessels with 2 helos, 2 hangars and 1 spot (or 2 spots when they are very close to each other) take-off operation with first helo must be finished to begin take-off operation with second helo.
By some vessels’ speeds helos sometimes struggle to land, that takes them much time. When vessel can take more than 1 helo it causes a problem and second landing helo may pass throug struggling one. The mod greatly minimize appearance of such situation (struggling must last at least circa 7 minutes to appear risk of overlaping helos. During tests I didn’t encoutered it).
When the hangar is full no other hilocopters (rebased from other vessels) can land. In such case helos stay in holding pattern.
The set was thought as an addon to the FDO but it may work standalone.
