andy1 71 Posted May 11, 2016 No there isn't. The boys have been busy on other bits, like adding more functionality and better textures. Also fixing ground issues so you can actually land on a carrier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy1 71 Posted May 11, 2016 It hasn't even been mentioned. Once the latest version of the vehicle is released then we're heading back for a pas on the weapons and equipment. So if it is going to happen it will be awhile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted May 26, 2016 Oh hell yes! :) Two quick questions. What is the servicing menu? Is that just a mousewheel option that comes with the rearming module when synced to an object? Also, and I know I requested this a long time ago so not sure if it got lost in the shuffle. Did you guys manage give us the ability to command our AI to take the gunners seat in the Coyotes/Jackals? The option doesn't/didn't appear in the menu like it does with other Arma vehicles.

HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted May 26, 2016 All the details of usage are in the readme with the mod, and also on our website: https://3cbmod.wordpress.com/released-mods/3cb-baf-vehicles/usage-vehicles/ Enjoy! Sorry if I'm a little dense. Ok, so before the update there was a resupply module which syncs to an object and is used for the choppers. A quote from the wiki: A system to re-task, rearm or resupply has been included: Action Menu options are available to the pilot when they are landed with the engine off, gunner seat empty and within 100m of: A Helicopter Resupply object (found in the Ammo section of the editor) An object synchronised to the “Misc > 3CB Helicopter Resupply Point†module Available Action Menu options include all valid loadouts for that airframe, and repair and refuelling options I fail to see how it's different from the new servicing menu. Quote: A GUI Servicing Menu to re-task, rearm, repair and refuel has been included. It is enabled through one of two methods: Place an Aircraft Servicing Point object (Editor or Zeus) – this is a physical object with the functionality attached – servicing capability is unlimited Place the Aircraft Servicing Module (Editor) and synchronise it to any object (this can include movable objects such as people or vehicles) – the module includes configurable variables (see ‘Configuration’ below) To access the system: get in the helicopter as pilot, within 100m of a Helicopter Resupply Point switch off the engine ensure the gunner/copilot is seat is unoccupied select the Servicing Menu option from the Action menu Usage: Rearm: select the required armament system from those available and click the Rearm button Repair / Refuel So if the resupply module retasks, rearms and resupplies choppers and the new supply point retasks, rearms and resupplies choppers what's the difference? Is the new feature just a more interactive and immersive way for using the old method? So basically a UI enhancement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifetap 188 Posted May 26, 2016 The servicing menu adds more functionality (especially for the mission designer) and a proper UI 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted May 27, 2016 Oh shoot. I can't open up an existing mission I made due to an error that I'm missing an addon to find the Merlin. Did you guys change any classnames or remove any existing classes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted May 27, 2016 Oh shoot. I can't open up an existing mission I made due to an error that I'm missing an addon to find the Merlin. Did you guys change any classnames or remove any existing classes? Update: It's not just my mission(s). I decided to try opening up AuTigerGrad's British Steel and his won't open either. Same error that it's missing the Merlin (though there could be others missing as well as I find the BIS errors don't like to show a full list of missing addons). I'm thinking there's a backwards compatibility issue here. I mean I guess I could have just had a dud download so I'll restart my PC and download again and see if that clears it up.

HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted May 27, 2016 Ok so just a heads-up for mission makers. I was only able to get the new 3CB Vehicles to let an existing mission to load after I deleted the binarized addons section of the mission.sqm. Not ideal but its a decent workaround and relatively painless until the 3CB team can figure out the cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Apollo 475 Posted May 27, 2016 @HeroesandVillains You are correct, there is a backwards compatibility error with existing missions relating to the old Merlin/reskinned Mohawk (now obsolete) which we didn't spot until after release. We have already produced and tested a fix, so we will be aiming to release a hotfix later today. Apologies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is my favorite mod pack on the planet so I should be thanking you! And I especially thank you for putting out a fix so quickly and saving me the time from unbinarizing and deleting stuff in a crap ton of missions so it's a win-win really. :) I appreciate everything and have a good night!

bumgie 49 Posted May 27, 2016 Vehicles look great this far! Do you guys have some sort of roadmap? And also does the roadmap include FV430 series or the Warrior? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifetap 188 Posted May 27, 2016 Yes we have a roadmap, but don't publish it too far into the future, both so we can react to the player base, and also so we don't disappoint. It's here https://3cbmod.wordpress.com/in-development/timeline/ We're aware of holes in the BAF vehicle arsenal, and are discussing possibilities with Burnes. But that's all after our current projects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
