My mission wont start after the updates - server says:

 

11:03:58 Reading mission ...
11:04:00 Script FIR_F14\sqs\init\replace_pilot.sqf not found

 

 

Problem solved: Had to remove the old Firewill planes from mission and replace them with new updated ones (F-14)

 

[woulffman 22]

Thanks for all the updates!  Can you fix the A-10 landing gear?  It is overly sensitive to improvised runways.  In addition, the tow point is below ground.  This causes the aircraft to float above the ground when towing it.

 

Thanks again for all the beautiful aircraft and systems!

Thanks for the response.  Here is more detail.

Updated video of towing point and improvised runway issues

Video of towing point and improvised runway issues. (ignore this one)

The first part of the video shows the tow point below ground for Lesh's Towing Mod.  I have seen the same issue with a towing mod in the unit I'm with but I don't know the name of that mod.

 

The rest of the video also shows improvised runway issues.  One from a dirt runway on Altis (though I have had the issue on many maps with all sorts of runways) and another from a runway composition I created.

 

If you need more info, let me know.

 

Thanks again!

I'm loving the new A-10U, I like the small touch that the cockpit space has been used for a small radar, very clever. I was curious do you model stuff like that yourself or are you editing models that you found/bought?

It made me think of these renders for the F-23: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/24911/this-is-what-a-northrop-f-23a-wouldve-looked-like-if-lockheed-lost-the-atf-competition
 

I originally wondered if you had used these renders as reference for the mod but it appears they were posted AFTER you first posted the F-23A mod, so credit to you for accurate predictions and good research.

 

These models are based off of the final plans for the production F-23A, there's a great graph comparing the differences between the production model and the prototype YF-23, including the larger weapons bay which you featured in the mod. I figured you'd find these interesting/helpful if you ever decide to take another look at the Gray Ghost. 

The same artist also did the failed X-32 (competitor to the F-35), which is especially interesting as it's VERY different to the prototype: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/20971/this-is-what-a-boeing-f-32-wouldve-looked-like-if-lockheed-lost-the-jsf-competition

 

Regardless, I appreciate that you give less popular and "forgotten" aircraft like the YF-23 a chance to shine.

A-10U is basically modify the A-10A/C mod(original model is Arma 1 A-10A sample model almost 14 years ago surprisingly). canopy removed, and install radome instead. but it's inspired by some hobby kit model called "A-10 UAV" and DARPA PCAS.

about F-23, i didn't saw that "F-23A" pictures in article during development. well, here's some my references when i made F-23A.

Firewill, you might wanna look into this issue.I/We can fix our private missions pretty easily but approx 75% of all missions ever made and uploaded to public are unable to load.Just something to keep in mind m8.

then what, bring back that "no longer to use" sqf file to inside the every mod again?

Its up to you what to do bud.🙄

Thats why i said "something to keep in mind".😛

[woulffman 22]

Did you make a change (fix) to the APKWS?  It seems they only hit targets now with a valid laser lock.  Before that last update, I could just point and shoot without laser lock.  

Having a laser lock is no a bug in my opinion.  It is how it should work.  I just have some pilots asking about it.

 

Thanks again for all the awesome mods.

manualcontrol value is off since the latest update so it probably makes no longer point and shoot feature available.

Just thought of something.Ive seen it done before a long time ago.You could try adding the missing/obsolete script back in the target directory and leave the script completely blank.That might work.

When someone is using the "FIR_HGU84P_Visor2" & "FIR_HGU84P_Visor1" outside of a aircraft with someone else sitting inside of a helicopter the visors appears as normal. When the individual who using either one of the visors gets in the aircraft the visor disappears. My own visor disappeared aswell my
