#ATC_GROUND_CAUCASUS ATC_GROUND_CAUCASUS

ATC_GROUND_CAUCASUS, extends #ATC_GROUND

The ATC_GROUND_CAUCASUS class monitors the speed of the airplanes at the airbase during taxi.

The pilots may not drive faster than the maximum speed for the airbase, or they will be despawned.

The default maximum speed for the airbases at Caucasus is 50 km/h. Warnings are given if this speed limit is trespassed. Players will be immediately kicked when driving faster than 150 km/h on the taxi way.

The pilot will receive 3 times a warning during speeding. After the 3rd warning, if the pilot is still driving faster than the maximum allowed speed, the pilot will be kicked.

Different airbases have different maximum speeds, according safety regulations.

Airbases monitored

The following airbases are monitored at the Caucasus region. Use the Airbase#AIRBASE.Caucasus enumeration to select the airbases to be monitored.

  • AIRBASE.Caucasus.Anapa_Vityazevo

Installation

In Single Player Missions

ATC_GROUND is fully functional in single player.

In Multi Player Missions

ATC_GROUND is functional in multi player, however ...

Due to a bug in DCS since release 1.5, the despawning of clients are not anymore working in multi player. To work around this problem, a much better solution has been made, using the slot blocker script designed by Ciribob.

With the help of Ciribob, this script has been extended to also kick client players while in flight. ATC_GROUND is communicating with this modified script to kick players!

Install the file SimpleSlotBlockGameGUI.lua on the server, following the installation instructions described by Ciribob.
