************************************************
************************************************

Important!!

The Vigilant is an addon who needs a specific dialogue to use it. As it's not possible to create a description.ext file in an addon with the current version (1.91), the Vigilant must work with a DESCRITION.EXT FILE IN THE MISSION WITH THE FOLLOWING LINE:

#include <OFrP_Objets\resource.cpp>

This line is used to connect the description.ext file to the addon.

How to use it ?


The use of this UAV is easy. You control it with a control device called by an user action when you are near to it. Then appears a dialog where you can:

Select a drone in the list (only if there is multiple vigilant)
Start/Stop the engine
Change Speed
Change Altitude
Change Bearing (Rotation is permanent if you don't set it to 0. The UAV will form circle.)

You can make the camera zooming, rotating and going up/down.

You can see in the interface some informations about the chopper: remaining fuel, position in the map, speed, bearing, altitude and the actual slider's values.

To quit the dialog, type ESCAPE.

Tips about slider's use:
Sliders can be use by 3 different ways:
By operating directly the cursor, by clicking on the extremity arrows or by clicking between the cursor and an extremity.
The best adjustment are by using extremity arrows.

The Vigilant can fly 1 hour before beeing out of fuel, it can be detected by IAs, can't fly over 200 meters and over 80km/h.
There is no limit in the number of Vigilant.
If the engine stops, the Vigilant crash on the ground like another chopper, there is no autogyration.
