5. The aircraft

The Royal Air Force is the second largest operator of the Boeing CH-47 Chinook
of the 16 nations which use the type.

RAF Chinooks have been widely deployed; serving in the Falklands War, Operation
Desert Storm, large peace-keeping commitments in the Balkans, the evacuation of
Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and the 2003 Iraq War. The RAF's Chinook force also
provides more routine support of the British Military, particularly in Northern
Ireland. Two Chinooks are maintained as part of the Falklands Garrison.

Chinooks are used primarily for trooping and for load carrying (both internal
and underslung) and can carry up to 54 troops or 10 tonnes of freight. The
cabin is large enough to accommodate two Land Rovers, while the three underslung
load hooks allow a huge flexibility in the type and number of loads that can be
carried.

6. Features

In West\AFR Addons you'll find three vehicles. One is the Zodiac, I made a custom
version to make it compatible with the zodiac extraction/insertion script.
CH-47 HC.2 is the Chinook without the cargo and zodiac scripts. This one is
best suited for SINGLEPLAYER since the cargo and zodiac scripts mess up the AI's
ability to correctly emabrk and disembark the chopper. The CH-47 HC.2 (Cargo)
has all scripts enabled and because of the AI-thing is best suited for MULTIPLAYER.

+Internal cargo/troops transport

How to transport a vehicle:

Preparations:
Place the CH-47 HC.2 (Cargo) and an Autoload game logic (can be found in the editor
in Game logic\AFR Addons) depending on which type of vehicles you want to transport.
Than start the mission.

1. Step:
You need to adjust the cargo seats. Therefore open the ramp and enter the cargo
room. You can store all seats, than you can transport two vehicles but no
troops. But you can also store the front or the back seats only and this way
transport one vehicle + up to 13 troops.

2. Step:
Drive the vehicle into the cargo room and use the action menu to lock it at
a position of your choice. Close the ramp and fly off.

3. Step:
When the chinook has arrived at the desired location, make sure that the landing
site is as plain as possible. Than open the ramp, enter the cargo room again and
use the action menu to unload the transported vehicle.
 
!!Attention!! only the following vehicles are supported:
- Jeep, JeepMG
- All WMIK variants (http://www.project-ukf.com)
- Landrover 90 and 110 GPMG in all camo variants (http://www.project-ukf.com)

+Zodiac Insertion and Extraction and Water landings

Singleplayer:
Take a look at the demo mission included in the archive to see how to setup this
feature for singleplayer missions.

Multiplayer:
Before any kind of water operation make sure you hit "Enable floating" in the
action menu. This way the heli will be able to float on the water. But BE CAREFULL
when entering the water, don't be too fast!

Zodiac insertion:
- You need a Chinook a zodiac and one or more soldiers which act as zodiac crew
- All soldiers that are to be inserted with the zodiac have to get into the zodiac
before the team leader can load it (action menu) into the Chinook!
- When the Chinook reachs the drop zone, he has to float on the water and than the
zodiac team leader can unload the zodiac (action menu)

Zodiac Extraction:
- Drive up to the ramp of the Chinook and get into the chopper by using the
action menu entry "Load zodiac"
