BAFX and Rangemaster mod packs - released

[negah 26]

Id like to see Radar control functions for SAM units and targeting cameras for the AGM missiles and laser guided bombs.

Would be great if you could implements those functions within your mod. Maybe as a Game Logic or Module for those who dont like them.

targeting cameras for the AGM missiles and laser guided bombs

we have these for the two-seater aircraft, plus GPS targeting for single and two seater aircraft, plus HARM radar targeting for SEAD aircraft.

do you mean you wish to have a single seat pilot being able to designate targets himself with a moving camera?

I've been thinking of implementing a nose cursortarget point and click location mapper, pretty much like the modern aircraft use to relay radar based GPS targets to each other. using this, you would point your nose at a target and press a pre-defined button and it would spawn a lasertarget on the location. press the key again and it would delete it. this would allow for first-pass aircraft to "capture" a target then go round and go again and else allow a following wingman to nail the target.

if you mean dynamically move the target while flying (in a single seat aircraft), i'm not sure how easy that is to do without a lot of work.

i know mando did a lot of ingenious stuff before, but his mod is his, and it's quite unique. i don't think we want to copy it particularly.

Not sure exactly what you mean by this. The SAM sites I have spawned have AI control scripts to make the SAM/AAA batteries function BVR and at much longer engagement distances than default.  There isn't much need for a player to sit at a radar site and target enemy aircraft... seems like that would be a pretty boring feature :)

Hi Guys,

 

I have a question:

How can I fixed the target head with the F-111 (and other aircrafts) laser designator, because the view always move (random) automatically?

 

The package is very fantastic, good job guys! Keep it up!  :)

[eggbeast 3673]

there's possibly a bug with the F-111 gunner, whose head is slaved to the pilot i think. can fix next patch

Sweet!  The white nose of that missile suggests it is a BUK family 9K317 SA-17 or 9K38 SA-11.

Downloading...

 

BTW am I correct in assuming that all of the hcpookie's ship, AA and SSBM pack contents are already included and I don't need to download the standalone packs?

[Noma 8]

This addon is amazing, but so more bugs.

 

- Mi-28 model (no wreck, bugs with rvmat and proxy).

- UH-60 (no M320 model).

- BAFX Bulldog (no scope on M2).

 

Please, review every file (and review config files, so many spam in .RPT).

If need, i can create video or some scrennshots :)

 

P.S. About 64N6E, our russian guy made model in 2013 year. You can use her or refine.

Yes, you are correct ;)

[eggbeast 3673]

yeah we know, but we make this for ourselves. if you don't like the bugs disable the mod.

we are not bothered by a few ongoing bugs given the enormity of the mod pack.

over time some will be fixed, some not.

no point mentioning them to us thanks!

enjoy

Very true.

 

You couldn't play this series if you didn't turn a blind eye to certain things. Just except and play.

 

Also thanks for the update, I really enjoy this content.

[hcpookie 3770]

Also be sure to use the -nologs startup switch.  That is absolutely essential to ensuring the game runs smoothly. 

[Bootsy Collins 8]

So how do I go about using the molotovs and other unsung items? Why is the mod suddenly not ACE compatible? Is there a way for me to heal now that my ACE doesn't work?

[hcpookie 3770]

So how do I go about using the molotovs and other unsung items?

"other unsung items"... anything specific you are working on?

 

Why is the mod suddenly not ACE compatible? Is there a way for me to heal now that my ACE doesn't work?

"suddenly"... it was never built w/ ACE in mind, so ACE is 99% likely not to work with this mod.  I know we are working on the Unsung-style personal med packs, but not implemented yet.  So for now, the only way to heal is via ambulance vehicles or medics.

[Bootsy Collins 8]

suddenly my ace menus were working again...idk why. I know with unsung (when I have used the mod in the past) I have had to place a module to use items like knives, certain explosives, and the medkits. I have molotovs in my pistol ammo area but don't seem to have the option to throw them. I hope I didn't come off as rude in the last post, these mod packs are like my favorite thing about this community

[eggbeast 3673]

ACE grenades will break our custom grenades probably. no idea, but its nothing to do with the module we put in unsung.

i will be porting that module in at some point. meantime the module is a mission side script set in my evo missions that go with this mod.

med pack isnt ported yet, but the knives, bayonets, butts, refuel cans and plane rearm all work mission side

[bars91 956]

Is there a Warfare for this by any chance?

 

I mean - one can use Benny's Warfare and get some of the stuff that is applied to default vehicles

but a lot of epicness is missing. So i'm currently hunting for a Rangemaster Warfare (if such a thing exists)  ;)

[eggbeast 3673]

i guess you'd have to make it. i only make evo's

[bars91 956]

Yeah I figured as much  :D

It'll probably end up the same way as my plans to make 6Sh112 on a sample russian model - i.e. not much  -_-

 

BTW keep up the good "fight" - between this mod and the ever-so upcoming "final" patch A2 is set to stay on my PCs and LAN parties for some considerable time  ;)

[eggbeast 3673]

yrah we have 3 more planes in the works, plus the rest of the tyrian vehicles to finish.
