Hey firewill, good day! 

If you don't mind, will you consider making fuel tank for su-25sm3 Grach?

probably together with Su-25SM in the future.

[panzergrenadier3 39]

Su-25SM? Great! Do you also think about a Su-25TM?

Heya Firewill, is there any chance of a fix for your F-35 to allow Zeus to spawn it in the near future? I have seen a couple third party made patches for it on Steam, but I have no desire to download another thing from unknown authors.

hmm, this Zeus isn't the Zeus you're looking for?

Further investigation reveals that it is most likely a conflict with Zeus Enahanced, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1779063631

It also only happens to the F35 for some reason? See below

@firewill have you considered making any AWACS aircraft? There's definitely a hole to be filled with naval AWACS planes like the E-2 Hawkeye.

It's part of Unsung, http://armanam.eu . Sabre also has a C-2 and E-2 in Military Planes.

@firewill any chance of the Growler's EWO radar display getting fixed anytime soon? Currently they can only zoom it out to 4km, despite the RIO seat in the F-14 having access to the full radar range of the aircraft. Kinda makes the Growler hard to operate as a 2 man SEAD plane when the EWO can only see 1/8th of the picture.

 

Otherwise, loving the mod. Getting an EWO set up with the various ewar options and protecting a friendly strike wing or group of fighters is great fun.

@firewill Awesome, thanks. Another issue I've noticed is that there's some issues with the targeting pod not following the plane's movements in flight for the EWO, which can be annoying as its confusing when the plane is manoeuvring and the copilot can't see it happening (like with other planes). I've checked and its not an issue with stabilisation turning itself on or anything like that. Is that working as intended or a bug?

camera lock is will work when you zoom in. EWO camera is basically "turret" so might be different with pilot camera.

I've been resting all the time because I haven't been feeling well, but recently I've been feeling better again and I'm resuming work.

 

here's some currently working on and announcement.

F/A-18D Hornet

rear cockpit in progress, expected release in July.

 

add hit-points for all aircraft

all my aircraft, including AV-8B harrier to Su-25SM3 hit-points are will added.

 

ECM system rework

ECM system is will no longer jamming the missile completely. The new ECM system is used ECM data from each aircraft's ECM capability and ECM Pod. also passive ECM for stealth aircraft will be adjusted.
however, ESM(by EA-18G or another jammer) still can be jamming the missile completely, so a player can use jammer aircraft for protecting ally aircraft.
 

Bug Fixes, Maintenance

F-35B now can see with Zeus Enhanced, and EA-18G EWO will get more sensor range.

F/A-18 will get more fuel and external fuel tanks get less fuel than current. 

 

New skin template

AV-8B skin template will be update.

 

take over new projects

Last month, Pinaz93 asked me to take care of his projects because he was no longer able to work on them and I accepted.

Each mod will have a different priority, but it will all be released as a result. for now I'm focus on typhoon and tornado.

[panzergrenadier3 39]

Great news!

Hi @firewill, do you have any Soviet-Russian planes in your plans? and especially interested in the flanker family

Thank you. We are looking forward to seeing the new F35 cockpit sometime soon as well. 

[Bukain 86]

Thank you pinaz for making that decision! Now it's in active hands, with talents to maintain! He made the aircraft already good! Only one thing though, which is what I've been asking for pinaz fix. Now it's for you Firewill 😄 - can you please let me slap the fuel tanks in the right pylon position on the Typhoon(second pylon counting from the fuselage)? They're at the wrong pylons at the moment(first pylon from the fuselage). Usually that's where big ground attack munitions like storm shadow are suppose to attach.

With the correct pylon placements +storm shadow +weapons from your FirWeaponSys i.e  IRIS-T, ASRAMM and Meteor, the Typhoon will be complete! 😀

Thank you very much for the aircrafts!

Firewill feel free to post the links where you need to buddy.😉

Have fun everyone.😀

Is it possible to make another pilot survival vest with green or sage colour(same/similar colour as your pilot jumpsuit)?

To be honest, i don't know the exact type of PSV in the mod, but I've seen more sage and green colored ones in real-life(US's especially) than a grey. Also it'll add more variety to the mod anyway if you decide to add the sage color one alongside already existing grey one.

I know I'had already asked for many things here hehehe So plz take this only as an idea, thanks 😁

[ANZACSAS Steven 395]

I was planning on uploading the update for the F-15 CAS Module but ive ran into some issues with the support module.

@Firewill Pm sent regarding this issue

[sgtfuzzle17 8]

@firewill is there any way to whitelist/blacklist certain munitions from the AWS while making a mission? I'm setting up some scenarios set before things like AIM-9Xs and JASSMs were around and would like to know if I can just make those munitions unavailable.
