Getting big working ships into ArmA1/2 takes some
serious work to get around the many technical
problems, so please take that into consideration
before complaining about something it does or
doesnt do. BUT, constructive feedback is
appreciated. And hey, remember its FREE !!
And I'v spend many 100s of hours on it already!
************  RANT OVER  ***********

---- SCRIPTING FEATURES ----
----------------------------

POSITION Script
---------------
There are many memory points defined around
the Ships for accurate placing (SETPOSASL) of any object.
Example Call;
xx = [MyUH60,MySHIP,"Pad1"] execVM "\GNT_Frigates\position.sqf"

Defined Memory Points
---------------------
Pad1  (landing pad front)
Pad2  (landing pad back)
Pad1F (more forward, suits UH1Y)
Pad2F (more forward, suits UH1Y)


LASH Script
-----------
Same as above, except the item is ATTACHED/LOCKED TO deck.
Example Call;
xx = [MyUH60,MySHIP,"Pad1"] execVM "\GNT_Frigates\positionandlash.sqf"

Defined Memory Points
---------------------
Pad1  (landing pad front)
Pad2  (landing pad back)
Pad1F (more forward, suits UH1Y)
Pad2F (more forward, suits UH1Y)


------------------------
---- FUTURE CHANGES ----
------------------------
- Heaps and lots! :(


------------------------
---- N O T E S !!!! ----
------------------------
Please report bugs.

BUGS or UNFINISHED
------------------
- Sometime the rear deck will jump about, especially on
    heavy seas.
- Sometimes missiles and shells pass straight through the ship
   Typically the OHP. A difficultly of such large objects.
- Flags don't work on Krivak
- Can't always move around every position on ship
- Ships grouped and assigned Waypoints tend to waste time in travel
- No way to get AI to land on the decks
- Ka-27 with improved textures and features
- Ka-27 is a very quick and dirty addon, bits are not pretty.
- Still using too many small textures for the ships, but there
   seems to be no real performance hit.
