GMS - Air Operations - DEV

GREY MAN'S AIR OPERATIONS AI-flown air operations for Arma Reforger: server-authoritative flight models for rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, squadron tasking, a full-screen flight planner, and combat AI for door guns and attack helicopters. Built for milsim units that want AI aircrew executing real air-mission doctrine. DEVELOPER'S NOTE — Developmental branch under active work: bugs can be expected, features and roadmap may change. FLIGHT MODEL - Server-authoritative rotary flight: takeoff, routes, hovers, and landings with approach profiles, banked turns, per-leg altitude control, and hover-only rope stations for FRIES. - Damage handling: tail-rotor and all-engines emergencies fly controlled emergency landings; a downed airframe refuses further commands. - Hover self-defense: a hovering gunship rotates to unmask its weapons. - Fixed-wing: the C-130J flies its own model — route flying plus the full HALO/paradrop profile (run-in, station keeping, jump dispatch at tasked altitude). SQUADRON TASKING - Multi-ship dispatch: assault waves onto LZ pools, loiter wheels with formation slots, pickup staging, HALO drops, recovery/RTB. - Exfil ladder: request > transit > signal authentication (smoke, flare, IR strobe, IR lasso — wrong signal types are ignored) > landing > ALL PAX IN lift release. IR strobe/lasso require GRS Night Vision; smoke and flare work standalone. - Escort doctrine: the escort launches first, sweeps the LZ from a clearing overwatch, calls ALL CLEAR on known contacts before the lift bird is released in, covers the pickup from an overhead loiter, and is always last out of the AO. - Armor standoff: attack escorts fight from firing hovers at missile standoff, close to gun standoff when winchester or against infantry, and never engage from inside their own safe minimum. COMBAT AI - Gun director (all crewed turrets): hostility, line-of-sight, and friendly-corridor checks with motion prediction; engine BallisticTable fire solutions (real drop and time-of-fli...
