Firewill Standalone Series Release Thread

[panzergrenadier3 39]

What a beauty! Great job! Looking forward for the Prowler 😉

Will there be a texture template for retextures and is a standalone version (without Unsung) in planning?

Damn NightIntruder, u're right. The Prowler is the Electronic Aerial Warfare version, the EF-18 Growler dad 😛 LOL sorry, I was a bit hyped ahahah 😂

 

Hey @firewill I see it's needed Unsung mod as requiement. So no standalone?

not a standalone, it's Unsung required.

Hey Firewill, I was talking with some friends about Vietnam war CAS aircraft and was wondering if you plan to do some "Slow" flying jets like the A-37 Dragonfly? Cheers
BTW your aircraft mods rocks, can't wait for the Prowler.

Np, mate! But... don't be less hyped! EA6B Prowler is also expected from Firewill's factory, AFAIK. This time it might be a standalone mod (I don't count FIR AWS obviously), tho.

Oh that's a very good news to hear dear @NightIntruder. I always love the A-6 EA-6B family. Really hope to see them in my addons list 😁

 

However dear @firewill thanks for your work as usual, and did you considert to made a "Navy" pack that can include other Unsung assets (but without dependency)? I mean plane like E-2 Hawkeye, A7 Crusader, or the S3 Viking or C2 transport. It's not a request, I know it's "bad", it's just an info.

Thanks again for your work 🙂

Well, I got a plan to make navy A-7E Corsair II, but with the Unsung of course.

E-2? yes but with the Unsung too.

I know some of, or maybe lot of peoples doesn't want to use aircraft mod with dependency(especially if that is got a big size), but as a modder's view, it's can save a lot of times and energy to make.

[TeTeT 1523]

I personally wouldn't mind sharing the Unsung sources with @firewill, but the situation is complicated. All of the Unsung planes have been donated by modellers to the mod and then refined over the years by different modders. It's simply not possible to get permission from everyone involved to pass on models to a third party (in this case Firewill). So I'm afraid Unsung and/or Unsung Redux will have to stay as dependency for the time being.

 

Cheers,
TeTeT

Thanks @firewill and @TeTeT for the info so 🙂 Have a nice weekend guys 🙂

Noooooooooo.  I’ve been waiting for someone to make a US E-2C or D (that is actually textured) for like….how old is Arma 3? That long.  Whomp whomp

 

Though I do get your point about it being easier on the mod maker

[firewill 3880]

Sorry for asking again. Is there a texture template available for the A-6E?

Thanks for the reply. So I'll try it without a template.

C-130 Decal pack released

 

hello I would like to ask you for help in making decals for my mod C130J ( CUP)
I m making Tunisian Air Force C130, when I just retexture with text on it, it looked mirrored on one side and found your decal pack and I like it and I want to know how u did it so that I do like it or help me with it 

 

this is what I m trying to recreate 

 

 

and this when Tunisian Air Force sent one of its 2 C130 J to UN mission 

 

So Tunisia has only 2 C130J(30) the 1st S/N is Z21121 with Code TS-MTK and 2nd is Z21122 with code TS-MTL both are under the 11th Squadron
I will be in debt to you if you helped me out 

 

[panzergrenadier3 39]

The texture for the left and right side is the same, that is the reason why one side is mirrored. For text on both sides, there has to be a hidden selection texture, an additional texture field for the writings (wich probably should be a hidden selection) (I don't know if the CUP C-130 has those) or every side has to have it's own texture (not the case on the CUP C-130). I don't know if firewills C-130s have hidden selection textures or different textures for the sides.

my C-130 is basically "decal", some magic with attachto command. original c-130 without any text + decal model with text.

Question. On the mission start, how can I limit armament in the AWS:

a) to setup limited types of weapons only to select from (f.e. only Mk82 and AIM-9C);

b) to list only predefined custom presets (and no actual selection for the pylons);

c) to limit certain type of weapons to certain pylons (with or without custom presets)?

you can use "AWS_AMS_Blacklist" parameter for limit some weapons when you using AMS, but there's no other way to limitation.

AWS_AMS_Blacklist = ["some mag code","some mag code2"];

and magazine list is here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZjECtR0yy-6cUN7KEoVTIV-sMwIpq5OBwS6Fqox_E0g/edit?usp=sharing

I'm currently making new AMS include some "manage munitions", I guess that is gonna be one of what you want.
