US Helicopters (HAFM OVerhaul) MOD

[kilo1-1 1]

We're not focussing on AI at this moment.

Gerald and me are polishing the mod as it is and looking to fix the errors.

The AI problem is noted though.

I sure hope you guys do come around soon to fix the AI issues as I use these helicopters for AI CAS in a lot of my missions.

I just tested your modlist:

- TPW: don't know how that thing works, changed all my controls and added sounds and stuff everywhere. Really annoying.

- RWCO hasn't been updated for a while now and the sounds on the weapons it changes (for the HAFMs) aren't fixed, so if you remove the optional hafm rwco pbo's it will reroduce the sounds correctly.

Solution: as stated before, remove rwco_hafm.pbo and you'll be fine.

Either way, we are working to integrate the RWCO features DIRECTLY to this addon ;)

I'm very sorry about that, I didn't realize TPW did all that as it works okay with me. I removed RWCO all together from the folder and tried again but the issue is not solved. At this point I'm not going to ask you to try to find a solution for my issue as, obviously, the majority of people don't have this issue so I'm not going to afford you trouble for one or two persons but I'd appreciate if by any luck you discovered why I'm having this rare issue :P. Thanks for the help so far and sorry to have screwed up your controls, I'll be careful next time ;).

Now that the new flying model has been released in the Dev Branch, I guess the proper question would be if it's inside your plans to implement it in the mod.

Would be really awesome to fly the AH64 with the new model!

Thanks for reporting, what's your current modlist? Do you have the old HAFM helis there too?

Maybe you can talk to mindbl4ster, he had a similar problem but got fixed (page 6 on this thread)

Cheers

Hi geraldbolso! Turns out there was a conflict on our linux server with RAV Lifter mod, i'm not sure if it's just not compatible with your HAFM but since the 1.24 update RAV Lifter mod won't launch alongside other Aircraft mods. We've just resorted to removing RAV Lifter, Bohemia are working on a lifting system anyway so scripts will do until then.

Great mod, keep up the good work!

Well I'm glad to hear that :p

I'll talk to Raven about integrating that in the future, but as I said before, I'm focused on the weapons part of the mod right now.

Cheers

Looking great!

By the way, since you were working from Aplion's sources from the Arma 2 samples, might you be interested in the Community Upgrade Project? It's entirely possible that someone else has also done some of the work that you're interested in (i.e. RotorLib integration), and it would be beneficial of perhaps you could touch bases and enhance the quality of this mod even further. :) You can find more info or answers to any of your questions at the @CUP Wiki and Skype channel.

Are u talkin about the HMDs or the US Helicopters? Cause i didn't post the kimi_gerald.bikey in the helos...

Both really - got kicked for both although the keys were on the server.

Hmm, why are the UH-60s using the UH-1 sounds? Wouldn't it be better to use the vanilla UH-80 sounds if you don't have any UH-60-specific ones? Other than that, this is a great mod, and currently the best Black Hawks in ArmA 3. Thanks for the hard work!

Next Version will include a mash-up between vanilla and JSRS sounds. But yeah, i think it will end up sounding like the uh80, that's a great idea! Thanks :)

Server won't run the mod, I believe because of this. Any help?

Thats what i am talking about. I am really happy that you are doing the sounds. I think that has been missed by a lot of modders. So thanks for that.

Keys still dont work - maybe one of your files are outdated.

You can try the addon signer (official) that i use - it works 100%.

Now we just need this to implement the new flight model and every pilots dreams will come true!

[bagpiperguy 74]

Don't know if this has been brought up already but... the UH-1H has no ammo in its guns. Also.. If your looking to improve the mod a version with mini guns like the black hawk would be cool also.

I apologize if this has already been brought up.

I am still having the same problem with the UH-1H with no ammo in the M240's. I thought it could be another conflicting mod so I just ran this mod with cba and still no ammo. Any ideas on how to fix or is this a known problem?

Strange :s, Can you post your modlist so I can reproduce the error?

[mistyronin 1181]

Really good job! It's nice to see that this mod keeps alive!

BTW if you accept a little suggestion, could you darken the Blackhawk textures, to make them true Black hawks ( the A3 engine shows A2 colors light ).

It should be dark gray, dark olive green or black.
