95% done all that is left is MFDs and the user function portion of the service menu where you can choose your own weapons instead of predetermined.

Oh yes! almost there! it's like waiting for DayZ to come out of early access! :D

[skuijs 17]

They already stated that mod will be released in separate packs. Even in current state you can remove everything but drones and play.

Wow thnx m8

[robowilso 40]

Wayyy hotter than DayZ This is like waiting on A3 Alpha all over again!!!!

Does Bohemia Interactive interact with it's modding community on projects especially of this scale to aid developers in making sure the created assets fit just right with the engine and are read smoothly? I noticed that most if not all of teir DLC content as far as new engine features seems to be ripped from community made mod packages already in existence, the new official stuff just seems to work with the game alot smoother and function cleaner!

No. Believe me, this project is small shrimp compared to some over the past decade. They didn't tailor their game to any of those mods, and they wouldn't do so for this one. Especially because they don't really care about the fixed wing aspect of the game. BI devs focus on the game itself and fixing issues/creating content. They do not help individual mods adapt to the game. Occasionally they hire people from within the community, but that's a bit rare and usually only happens with extremely talented people. Mondkalb is one example off the top of my head. Also, you're not really well informed about the DLC/the community/Bohemia if you think they ripped the content of Marksmen from the community. The Marksmen DLC adds features players have been requesting since OFP and Armed Assault (ArmA 1). That the community has addons to fulfill some these requests has nothing to do with Bohemia including them in ArmA 3. Weapon resting, AI suppression, etc. were common in mods 6-7 years ago. It's not a new idea. But what the DLC is is original Bohemia content, not anything ripped.

typos + Fixed wing aspect, not "fixed aspect". lol

The reaper is normal in fire mode and when you go in manual fire you have on the laser anyone else have that problem or is it just me ?

[robowilso 40]

I'm not a military UAV specialist or anything, but i believe that the type of hellfire missles that the Reaper UAV carries require Laser guidance. So for us to have the ability to accurately put the missle on the crosshaire'd target it requires a target to be lazed. Hope this explains your inquiry.

Hey wiki,

All the cargo aircraft (C5,C17,C130) all have a new cargo script (well functions).

When this gets released all you will need to do is use the function appropriate for each vehicle.

//for cargo use
null = [C130,Cargo] spawn USAF_C130_fnc_forceLoadCargo;
//for Transport use (the 3rd param is only available on the C130 function) 
null = [C130,Cargo,4.5] spawn USAF_C130_fnc_forceLoadCargo;

where C130 is you would replace it with your vehicle name and also inside the function to the appropriate aircraft. (Lala_C5_fnc_forceLoadCargo, Lala_C17_fnc_forceLoadCargo)

Here is a past live stream of how it currently works, its been slightly modified. (no longer can you unload a vehicle when there is something at the unload point, also no more choppers (although the forceLoadCargo function will actually allow anything (even if it can't fit in the cargo space))

But for the moment, I use the old version of C-130J (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24735).

So, I wanna put some crates inside the cargo version.

How can I do it?

thanks

Correct, though normally the drone will self-designate in real life, game-wise it requires a spotter.

Also regarding the weapons and 1.42, yes they're being worked on. Probably next weekish.

The reaper is able to self designate and fire on its on laser. If your controlling the uav. Manually you will have to lase

[EricJ 759]

Okay I never messed with it, thanks.

Couple of questions (yep again)

So what's your final word on B-52? You decided to fully drop it from pack or just postprone it indefinitely?

Will there be SDB II bombs in B-2 (and possibly others) planes? I tried them in john_spartan F-18 and kinda liked them...

Won't be in this pack. The B2 does not have them right now..but the f22 and the f35 do have them.

Oh theebu's old version, well yea that version doesn't have it's own cargo system.

You could use IGI load.

If you don't care and just want crates inside then here is some code

//fn_forceLoadCargo.sqf
