The release of the "Landegerät: Helicopter Emergency Medical Services" is almost there, so I can already give you a sneak peak.
What is it?
The "Landegerät: HEMS" ist a HEMS mission generator. You will be able to fly missions as an emergency medical helicopter, fetch patients and bring them to the nearest hospital.
Basically you feed the Landegerät a list of heliports, hospitals and possible emergency sites, and it will build random missions with real-life weather. These missions are compiled into the good ol' custom_user_missions.tmc, and will also have a scenery/poi-file which spawns some cars and persons on each emergency site. (Credit for this goes to ApfelFlieger .)
Because the Landegerät is a Node.js application (and even worse: a CLI application), this might be to tedious to install - but you can hope for other users to share their generated mission files.
How do the missions look like?
Glad you asked: I build some custom mission files for you to test. There are four sets of HEMS missions, two for San Francisco and two for Lüneburg, Germany (custom scenery required). Per scenario you get missions for the EC135 and the UH-60, with 10 missions per file.
How would the mission editing look like?
The "Landegerät: HEMS" uses GeoJSON files as its data source, so there is one for San Francisco and one for Lüneburg as an example. You can craft your own GeoJson files using free tools like geojson.io - or import already existing GeoJSON files to modify these.
What are the next steps?
- I will try to release the tool in the next few days... ahem, or weeks.
- I will release some more missions files, so you do not have to install the tool.
Interested in rolling your own missions? If you build some GeoJson files (documentation on how to do this can be found here) I can happily build missions files for you and add these to the Landgerät site for you (and the rest of the world) to download.
