I can second R. Brown's glitch report, even if I'm not sure re: the exact positioning, I too can verify that I at least at one point got "clipped" into the interior underneath the passenger seating 'deck'; there's also seemingly little geometry for the interior, i.e. clipping through the seats, though I imagine that this is somewhat intentional considering how infamously Arma collision detection was indoors.

[dezkit 28]

Version 1.05 has been released. Enjoy flying in altis.

Current issues:

1. yak42 clipping issues
   
2. airplanes have the same sounds
   
3. il96 black boxes in cockpit
   
4. airplanes have no altian airways livery

Hey Dezkit did you have any luck with adding these to TPW?

Try this

thanks for the quick response lol amazing speed. One more question was are there plans to model the interiors of the 747?

that'll be pretty difficult but i will eventually do it along with every other interior, just like the yak. may not be the best, but hey, something is better than nothing.

[R. Brown 10]

for sure thanks a ton and great job

I'd like to hear your opinions on the Altian Airways default livery that will be given to every aircraft.

Updated version frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

Civilian Jets Mod v1.05 Alpha

================================================

We have also "connected" these pages to your account on Armaholic.

This means in the future you will be able to maintain these pages yourself if you wish to do so. Once this new feature is ready we will contact you about it and explain how things work and what options you have.

When you have any questions already feel free to PM or email me!

Sounds great. One livery with several types of aircraft would still make it realistic.

I am also interested in using the aircraft as static objects for eye candy purpose. Is there any change you release a version for 'eyecandy only'?

[hockeymanjs 10]

Loving this mod. Other than engine sounds it works Great.

Only addition would be working cockpit gauges.

I found on the 747 I would have to go under the aircraft to get in. also shadows seem to be a little messed on on it as well as it be very white.

747 also sound cut out right as i was taking off and was going in and out.

nice work on the jets.

what do you think, would it be possible to have the Lear Jet 24 ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learjet_24

or

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-31T_Cheyenne

think its a good size of an civ jet/plane for altis, to land on all airport.

Tried the 737 on all aiports, even the grass one. Take-Offs and Landing are no probs.

But the fly kinda weird to me.... Well, I think thats because the planeX simulation isnt working...

What is weird about it?

Is it because you roll but you don't turn for some magical reason?

Or is it because it feels like the plane is floating and rotating on some axis?

I want to fix this problem D:

[Redphoenix 1540]

Its not your fault, its just the general aviation simclass.

I don't like it overall ^^

Sneak peak of next update

[Tankbuster 1746]

An A380! Jubbly. :)

[disco.modder 116]

Sweet Lord, hows that 380 going to land anywhere in Altis? Would be great to see if you pimp up the Altis airport to suit jetliner operations in the near future.

Thanks for this mod mate!

Maybe if we ask nicely, some of the WIP community maps can make bigass airfields for them. :P

i was planning on making a really really really big map, like 10 times bigger than altis. But it will only have high poly counts in airports and stuff, everything else will be low poly like cities. Sort of like any other flight simulator game such as FSX or xplane

Heh. That'd be pretty cool. Have some air battles and whatnot.

[bravom5 2]

Nice mod I really like these civil aviation mods keep up the good work. :cool:

That would be an amazing piece of work if you go ahead with it.

Tho for Altis International airport I was thinking more if you could modify it to suit large civil airliners by adding onto the map (in a template) larger buildings, boarding bridges, etc.

[sergeant rock 3]

Would love to see a civilian Cessna Citation or similar class of jets. Well done.

[The Hebrew Hammer 10]

Not all jets seem to be targetable by AA missiles. The 747 was only shot at by AAA, but they would fire missiles.

Sorry k8nda drunk

And.

Here is a progress video. Hope you guys enjoy what's coming next update. (Note this will only be for the Yak42. Other Planes will be done later, if demand is high though)

I have made almost every gauge work.

awesome! this makes flying in first person so much more comfortable...

What do you think about the A321 and an A330/340 I think they would be awesome for Altis Airport, smaller and better looking than the A380...
