CTLD (Troop Transport) / CSAR

## CTLD (Complete Troops & Logistics Deployment)

The server runs a modified version of CTLD, with some changes:

- Possible to extract multiple troop groups (until capacity is reached)

- Troops and Cargo weight is simulated. Troop capacity is shared with CSAR

- Deployed (already constructed) vehicles can be repacked into crates for transport.

For more information on CTLD and how to use, see the Wiki on the CTLD Github - https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-CTLD#in-game

## CSAR

All aircraft other than UH1, UH60, and Mi8 are limited to 3 lives. Lives can be regained by you or someone else rescuing your pilots. Downed pilots will display and remain on the map for 24 hours and can be picked up by Utility (UH) pilots, if they are not rescued within 24hrs they are considered KIA and the life is returned. Downed Pilots are marked on both the live map (as NATO Icons with a red dash underneath), and F10 map (as white flag markers). Weight and maximum capacity is simulated, and shared with CTLD troops. You can land up to 500m away from a downed pilot and they will run to you, but loading time increases with distance. To complete the rescue you will need to take them to the closest MASH.

\*\*MASH Buildings\*\* A Shelter building with distinctive unit on its side to create a difference between red and blue side.  Currently MASH buildings have a static Mi-8 parked next to them.

\*\*Spawning\*\* Mash Buildings will be spawned using CTLD menu and will require 4 crates  around 400 kg each one..   and will need to be at 10 miles from another MASH.  Also It must be inside the Op Area (blue Lines)

\*\*Maximum Capacity\*\* Each Mash Will Have a maximum capacity of 30 downed pilots.  once the Maximum capacity is reached, it won't be possible to use this mash to drop Downed pilots. (Partial drops can happen, leaving the rest of the Downed pilots that didn't got transferred in the aircraft).

\*\*Transport Task\*\* A new menu option to Request Transport was added, this will add the Downed pilots and will only be allowed to be dropped at an airfield, can't be transferred to another unit mid flight etc.  The available capacity in the Mash won't be updated till the aircraft lands at the airfield. so in case the unit crash or disconnects the transfer won't count and the mash will still be at the original capacity.   This task can be done by any UH or C130 unit. This can be done also at any point, and one unit can start the transport from multiple mash in the same flight. (i.e. load in mash 1, take off land at mash 2, take off and land at the airfield)

\*\*CSAR Lives\*\*  Will be returned to the player as soon the pilot is delivered to a mash. The transfer purpose only is to keep the Mash available to use.

To go on duty as a CSAR pilot you must use the Comms menu (default key '\') to Report On Duty (F10>F2>F5)

Several additional options are available to CSAR pilots via the comms menu under the CSAR section:

**-F1 List Active CSAR**

**- F2 Check Onboard** list all rescued pilots currently on board.

**- F3 Request Signal Flare** nearest downed pilot will fire a flare

- **F4 Request smoke** blue smoke will be deployed on the nearest CSAR location to you, provided you are close enough.

**-F5 Report On Duty** must do this in order to begin CSAR

**-F6 Activate Beacon** Nearest downed pilot activates a beacon that can be tuned to

**-F7 Disembark** Primarily used for survived crash-landings. If you are still alive and need to respawn, please choose this option first to unload all CSAR pilots onboard. This way they can be picked up by someone else.

**-F8 Set Extraction Point** Downed pilots in close proximity to each other can be told to regroup at a specified point. To do so, place a marker on the F10 map and call it whatever you want (preferably something recognizable to others as a CSAR, such as 'Extraction' or 'CSAR LZ'). Once the marker is placed, navigate back to the CSAR menu and hit F8. If successful you will receive a confirmation informing you how many pilots are en-route to the mark.
