Description from the Workshop

Orion Reconnaissance Drone Bring aerial reconnaissance and persistent overwatch to Arma Reforger. Operate a detailed domestic Orion UAV from its control terminal, switch between flight and sensor views, plan routes, and share observed contacts through the mission map. FEATURES - Detailed Orion airframe with animated landing gear, propeller and sensor gimbal. - Custom pilot and sensor interfaces, with readable telemetry, camera bearing, field of view and connection status. - Continuous 360-degree horizontal sensor movement. The airframe and landing gear remain visible when they physically obstruct the camera. - EO and white-hot/black-hot thermal modes, 30/12/4-degree optical field-of-view presets and a separate 2x digital crop. - Standard, High and Economy feed settings, adjustable interface scaling, sensitivity and vertical inversion. - Mission-map route planning, loiter controls, saved routes and reconnaissance reports. - Automatic spotting of eligible visible personnel. Map contacts refresh every 10 seconds while observation continues. When sight is lost, markers retain the last observed position instead of following unseen targets. - Faction-filtered reconnaissance contacts and server-confirmed mission changes. - Server-controlled ground or airborne initialization for newly spawned drones. - Engine startup, shutdown and onboard monitoring audio. Engine sound starts on the ground without needing to take off. GETTING STARTED Load the mod and its required dependencies, then use a scenario containing the Orion aircraft and control terminal.
