Firefighting
If you want to use your own bambi bucket for the firefighting, you need to set and read a number of local variables. For airplanes, you need to set up the liquid dropping system (2024 only).
Helicopters
Lvars to set
MMH_COMPATIBILITY_FIREFIGHTING
Always set to 1
MMH_BAMBI_READY
Set to 1 when the bucket is ready to be used (i.e. slung under the helicopter)
MMH_BAMBI_HEIGHT
Set this to the height AGL (feet) at which the bucket is fully submerged (0 = using default value of 50)
Lvars to read
MMH_BAMBI_FULL
Use this to show/hide water inside of the bucket.
0 = bucket empty 100 = bucket full
MMH_WATER_RELEASE
Use this to drive when your water drop vfx is active.
0 = No water being dropped 100 = Water being dropped
Airplanes
For MSFS2024, you can make aircraft compatible with the mission hub by setting up the native water drop system. We monitor the following simvars:
LIQUID DROPPING SCOOP OPEN VALUE
LIQUID DROPPING TANK TOTAL WEIGHT
LIQUID DROPPING TANK TOTAL CAPACITY
LIQUID DROPPING TOTAL DROPPED FLOW
