CSAR SRS frequency: 30.00 FM. Tune here in your helo to coordinate with other rescuers and downed pilots. See SRS for setup.

ADF homing: Each downed pilot broadcasts on its own ADF beacon frequency. Tune that frequency on your helo's ADF radio to home in on the survivor; the frequency is provided for each active pickup.

How it works:

F10 layout: Personal / CSAR / CTLD / Salvage / Interrogation / Factory Menu.

The Rescue Duty toggle is in the Personal Menu. Most active rescue and salvage actions require Rescue Duty ON.

1. Turn ON Rescue Duty (Personal Menu -> Toggle Rescue Duty).

2. Show Pickups on Map or List Active Pickups to find rescue markers.

3. Tune the survivor's ADF beacon frequency on your radio to home in on them.

4. Request Signal Flare / Request Smoke to localize a friendly survivor when needed.

5. Land near the survivor and use Pick up nearby rescue.

6. To move survivors toward a safer pickup, place a map mark with text: CSAR exfil. Nearby rescue locations move toward the mark.

7. Land near a friendly airbase and Offload Pickups.

List salvage jobs map wide

Show Salvage on Map

Salvage flow

2. Salvage pickup requires a helicopter, Rescue Duty ON, and landing near the wreck.

3. Choose pickup amount: 250 kg / 500 kg / 1000 kg / All remaining.

4. Drop off to unload. Factory drop-offs and airbase drop-offs both pay but use different payout multipliers.

5. Coalition salvage credit feeds the salvage pot, which funds Factory production.

6. Emergency Jett! discards all onboard rescue/salvage payload.

7. Landing near a valid airbase or factory can auto-trigger offload after a short delay where enabled.

Interrogation actions operate on captured RED pilots. They are fed by successful recovery and offload outcomes.
