@Crocodilo Because of the way this is built I need to hard-code the details and camera position for each type of drone/vehicle. Currently have plans to make a version for the Darter, Remote designator and a satellite.

The Reaper from USAF?

Works great. Will there be an option to use any drones, in the future. My team uses the Reaper and the Black Hornet a lot.

Yeah this is intended for briefings.

That is on my todo list, this just seemed more cool and organic.

i wondered for a while about attempting to build a ''ghost'' camera that could be sent to an AO. maybe with 50% less power being used since there wont be a physical uav to be accounted for as well:)

honestly? the only reason i/and others would even care about a live uav feed is to watch a specific area "downstairs'' in realtime to make informed decisions.

@The Shadowbroker: Mistake in the description, the keybind was wrong. Fixed it, thanks.

Arma wont let me send the drones actual camera feed to the screen, I needed to make a new camera and attach that to the pod.
I dont think Arma will let me do that either unfortunately, I would like to set it so the drone can only be controlled from the laptop but not too sure what people would prefer. What do you think?

since you have a better understanding of the script than i did, why not just cut out the uav's pilot cam cuz who the f&@!! needs that? am i right?
