Coastal Helicopter Patient Transport - Not Getting Helicopter Rate

  • The coastal helicopter indicates it can be used as a HEMS to transport patients. However when it delivers the patient, the payment received matches that of a ground unit. (Ex. A Cardiology pt going to a hospital with the specialty gets paid 750 by Coastal heli, instead of 1125 by a HEMS heli.)

  • It does not fulfil a critical care role, so you will not receive a critical care (HEMS) payment for the patient/s. It does however transport more than one at a time, which is beneficial for certain missions it is required for. This is intentional, not a bug. The 'bug' lies in the misleading description.

  • Wait it can carry more than one? I've never had that happen. The extra poor soul always has to ride back to shore in a boat to meet an ambo.

  • Yes, I forget the exact amounts but believe the large coastguard helo should carry over 10, possibly up to 16? Don't quote me on exact numbers though. I certainly find mine will transport multiple patients from missions as it will not allow you to select a minor injuries unit if it has 5 beds and the helo is carrying 6 or more patients.

  • Is that possibly functionality on UK or Australia servers? This is US and I can only transport one patient on a Coastal Helicopter. Large Coastal Helicopters do not exist in the US server.

  • My apologies, I mistakenly thought this was the UK section of the forum.

    As an aside, I have made a request / suggestion to rename the pages of this forum so as to prevent misunderstandings like this moving forward, and will reiterate my suggestion with the admins presently.
