Meatball0311 79 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) UPDATE --------- *****REMOVE ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF mar_f18.pbo/fz_f18.pbo/mar_pilot.pbo***** Hello! It has been a long time since I done anything with the F/A-18 and I would like to say thanks to all of you who have taken interest in this project. This version has been sitting on my shelf for too long and I thought I would release it. It is not 100% complete, but many of the previous issues have been fixed (at least I hope they are). I know some of you will find issues and make them known. I will try to iron them out as they come, but I cannot guarantee fixing them in a timely manner. All of the textures have been redone by my homeboy Pharohx.. he did an awesome job! To avoid problems.... PLEASE delete any older versions of mar_f18.pbo/fz_f18.pbo/mar_pilot.pbo ====================== REQUIRED: ====================== ARMA II CO CBA GLT_Missilebox mar_pilot (INCLUDED) STRONGLY RECOMMENDED: mando_missile.pbo ====================== DESCRIPTION : ====================== Aircraft can be found under: ---------------------------- Blufor > USMC > 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (2MAW) Blufor > US Navy > Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11) Blufor > RAAF > No. 1 Squadron (1SQN) USMC Pilot can be found under: ------------------------- Blufor > USMC > Men > USMC Fighter Pilot USN Pilot can be found under: ------------------------- Blufor > US Navy > Men > USN Fighter Pilot FOLD WINGS: ------------- this animate ["l_wingfold",1] this animate ["r_wingfold",1] OPEN CANOPY: -------------- this animate ["canopy",1] ============================== CONTENT/FEATURES/CHANGES/BUGS : ============================== I have decided to release this version because it has been sitting on my shelf for months now. Many of the previous problems have been fixed, however, there are still several things that need to be addressed. I will work on them when I have time. At this time this addon contains USMC F/A-18F variant, US Navy F/A-18F, and RAAF F/A-18F. ============================== CHANGELOG/BUGS/KNOWN ISSUES: ============================== CHANGES: -------- UPDATE mar_2MAW_V2.0 -------------------- Cant remember all of the fixes I have done...

FINISHED: Startup sequence for MFD 1, MFD 2 (I have more plans for them in the future) CHANGED: HUD color FIXED: takeoff speed actually it is now around 175! FIXED: Can use player profile face with pilot FIXED: Canopy angle to high when open, Bottom of canopy should almost pass through top of WSO seat. DID THE BEST THAT I CAN AT THIS MOMENT ON THE DAMPERS...THEY STILL NOT THE BEST BUT I FEEL IN TIME THEY WILL BE ADDED: No. 1 Squadron of the Royal Austrailian Air Force (Textures done wonderfully by tromac!!) IMPLEMENTED: hiddenselections on the planes so the file will stay small and faster.. WIP: the cockpit might have some black areas that should have textures.. i know about that and actually am planning on redoing the cockpit. will be on later update. CORRECTED LAND CONTACT POINT: plane was hovering a little should be good now. UPDATE mar_2MAW_V1.6 -------------------- ADDED: Dampers to aircraft SCALED: Canopy a little down to real life scale FIXED: AI Landing gear issue (now retracts landing gear on takeoff, havent checked if it lowers on landing) FIXED: Units not getting in FIXED: landing crashes (doesnt damage as often) UPDATE mar_2MAW_V1.5 -------------------- FIXED: US Navy faction error ADDED: PVS14 to pilot **ADDED: Holster script (Thanks to Celery) (not working) IMPROVED: HUD Compass texture and HUD display FIXED: Flight Path Indicator and ILS IMPROVED: F/A-18 unit picture FOUND: Corrected something that removedAllWeapons from pilot..

ADDED: zoom levels to WSO optics (Thanks to Tasel) UPDATE mar_2MAW_V1.3 -------------------- RESOLVED: TAILHOOK ISSUE - But I think there might be still two actions that pop up, but I dont think they are on my part, because my useractions would be "Tailhook DOWN" and "Tailhook UP". REMOVED "F-18" which was really F35B FIXED Ejection error FIXED not positively sure but hopefully fixed the multiplayer landing gear issue. CHANGED now can be found under: Blufor > USMC > 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (2MAW) COMING SOON: Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11) VFA-14: Blufor > US Navy > Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11) UPDATE mar_2MAW_V1.2 -------------------- FIXED mar_pilot.. no longer running into invisible walls on Nimitz deck REMOVED extra "gear up' and 'gear down" actions FIXED Pilot View centered for all units FIXED Pilot RTM file so pilot is not situated nicely in cockpit RESOLVED Scaling Issue - I checked the dimensions of the F/A-18F and the model is nearly perfect on scale. UPDATE mar_2MAW_V1.1 -------------------- * FIXED: MMA - Need to make corrections on the ViewPilot view. pilots and gunners heads seems too off center (HIGH) * FIXED (sort of) : I changed it back to green hud... I know the horizon bar turns... it will have to do for now ====================== CLASSNAMES : ====================== Aircraft: MARINES ------- vmfa_aw533_01 vmfa_aw533_02 vmfa_aw533_03 vmfa_aw533_04 vmfa_aw533_05 NAVY ---- vfa_14_200 vfa_14_202 RAAF ---- no_1sqn_204 no_1sqn_206 no_1sqn_208 no_1sqn_210 no_1sqn_212 ====================== INSTALLATION : ====================== The PBO and Sign files in the archive need to be extracted into your ArmA/Addons folder.

soul_assassin 1750 Posted July 22, 2011 just a note, it looks very out of scale, way too large. Good work otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nodunit 397 Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) That's because what you linked is the F-18 C/D, this is E/F which is larger. Edited July 23, 2011 by NodUnit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rksl-rock 1301 Posted July 23, 2011 I'm with Soul Assassin on this. The scale is off. Then look at this Its way too large relative to the crew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodunit 397 Posted July 23, 2011 Good point, that frame is a bit supersized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meatball0311 79 Posted July 23, 2011 Great to see all of you are excited, but I just got a message from Mandoble and he would like for me to remove the MMA due to future updates could cause problems. It should be ok for now, because MMA was an extra addition, it was not in the Required Addons section. I am going to upload a new one without MMA. Stay tuned for updates about MMA. Once again MMA is NOT REQUIRED. Using MMA is however a great bonus to this addon.. ---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ---------- Will work on the scaling issue..

Meatball0311 79 Posted July 23, 2011 ALL MIRRORS PLEASE UPDATE YOUR DOWNLOAD!!!! I updated the first post download. I removed MMA, GLT Missilebox and GLT RAW from the included addons to make a smaller sized folder. I left mar_pilot.pbo included. THIS ADDON REQUIRES: GLT Missilebox GLT RAW mar_pilot (INCLUDED) So you must keep up to date with them. Ahhh have a break and take some time to relax :) Thanks mate!
