Every world is allowed to have one heliport. All settings are placed in CfgBase under classname matching those of CfgWorlds class (and returned value worldName).

class CfgBase
{
	//--- World name (matches CfgWorlds class)
	class United_States_H
	{
		//--- Heliport name (visible in menus)
		displayName = "$STR_HSIM_CfgBase_United_States_H";
		//--- Script executed every time heliport is loaded
		init = "\hsim\Modules_H\base\United_States_H\init.sqf";
		//--- Starting date of heliport. Every completed mission adds one day
		initDate[] = { 2013, 8, 5, 10, 0 };
		//--- Starting money
		initMoney = 1985;

		//--- Subclasses (see below)
		class Mission
		{
			// ...
		};
		class Helicopters
		{
			// ...
		};

		// etc
	};
};

Following params are shared for Missions, Helicopters (including components), Staff and Upgrades.

Mission

Includes mission.sqm of heliport mission. Used mainly dor debugging object positions in case the mission was not loaded previously.

class Mission
{
	#include "\hsim\Missions_H\campaign\missions\United_States_H.United_States_H\mission.sqm"
};

Missions

Procedural missions (Contracts).

class Missions
{
	class Visit
	{
		//--- Name visible in mission list on heliport
		displayName = "$STR_HSIM_CfgBase_United_States_H_Missions_Visit";
		//--- List of helicopter classes used as default. One of them is selected randomly.
		helicoptersDefault[] = {MISSION_HELICOPTERS_LM};
		//--- When 1, replaying the mission will still earn player money
		repeat = 1;
		//--- Faction ID
		faction = 2;
		//--- Mission reward
		price = 15000;
		//--- Classes of missions required before mission is displayed in menu
		requiredMissions[] = {
			"US_C_01"
		};
		//--- Helicopter tags required for mission to be enabled in menu
		requiredHelicopters[] = {
			{ "light", "medium" }
		};
		//--- Helicopter component required for mission to be enabled in menu
		requiredHelicopterUpgrades[] = {
			"doors"
		};
		//--- Company logo displayed in heliport menu

class HeliLight
{
	//--- Helicopter vehicle class (from CfgVehicles)
	vehicle = "Heli_Light01_H";
	//--- Name displayed in heliportmenu

		};
	};

	class Init 
	{
		displayName = "Init";
		//--- Private scope - category is not displayed in menu
		scope = 1;
				
		class CargoHook
		{
			displayName = "$STR_HSIM_CfgBase_United_States_H_Helicopters_HeliHeavy_Exterior_CargoHook";

	};
};

Component tags are unique, only on of the can be enabled at the same time. That means that if two component has for example tag "camera", enabling one of them will disable the other one. Only tags defined in class Tags are displayed in requirements, which mean you can use virtual tags to handle correct technical exclusion.

Example:

class Benches
{
	types[] = { "benches", "posSide" };
};
class Camera
{
	types[] = { "camera", "posSide", "posFrame" };
};

benches and camera are defined in class Tags and are displayed in mission requirements. However, posSide is virtual tag and makes sure that camera cannot be enabled at the same time as benches (as both occupy similar position).

Tags

Every helicopter or component is marked with tags, and missions can require helicopters or components with such tags to be owned by player before they can be played. Otherwise "Show Requirements" button is active instead of "Play" in heliport mission selection. Clicking on the button will display tag descriptions defined in this class.

class Tags
{
	class Light
	{
		//--- Name visible in 'Show Requirements' message box
		displayName = "$STR_HSIM_CfgBase_United_States_H_tags_Light";
	};
};

Factions

Factions serves as mission categories (e.g. Story, Government, Tutorials, ...).

class Factions
{
	class CORE
	{
		//--- Name visible in Contracts menu
		displayName = "$STR_HSIM_CfgBase_United_States_H_Factions_CORE";
		//--- Unique faction id, used for mission categoriting (see Missions paragraph above)
		id = 0;
		//--- Listbox icon
		image = "hsim\ui_h\data\igui_sidebriefing_civil_ca.paa";
	};
};

Staff

Upgrades

Heliport upgrades are compositions placed on heliport itself, like hangar, tools, tables etc. However, it can also include environment objects further away from heliport, like cargo ship wreck.

class Hangars
{
	displayName = "Hangars";
	class Hangar_default
 	{
		displayName = "Default Hangar";
		libTextDesc = "Larkin Aviation offices";
		//--- Composition class from CfgObjectCompositions
		composition = "heliport_hangarDefault";
		//--- Composition position
		positions[] = { "hangar00" };
		forced = 1;
	};
};

NoFlyZones

No-fly zones created automatically by BIS_fnc_noFlyZonesCreate.

class Factions
{
	class P51
	{
		//--- Zone position
		position[] = { 2018.7, 45494.7, 0 };
		//--- Zone area (matches triggerArea format))
		area[] = { 4500, 3000, 90, 1 };
		//--- Zone type (see below)
		type = 2;
	};
};

Zone types (simplified representation of airspace classes):

  • 0 - Airport (Class D Airspace)
  • 1 - International Airport (Class B Airspace)
  • 2 - Restricted zone
