I noticed AI never OPFOR uses missiles from FIR AWS, such as R60M and R73, they always go for guns á la WW2.

Issue observed on your Su-25 and Pinaz's MiG-29 (which inherits from FIR AWS system). It's a huge shame because OPFOR planes get little love comparatively, there's only a handful of airframes and this bug makes the little there is hard to use 😕

Is this known? I can provide more testing info if required 🙂

 

P.S. thank you so much for all the hard work you've been putting into Arma all these years ❤️

I think something went wrong in the config. I'll take a look into this.

[Rak1445 25]

Thank you SO MUCH, it's incredibly appreciated!

It's only a small concern, but would you consider changing the pilot's handguns to the black version of the P07? 

hgun_p07_blk_F

It's a APEX asset, so probably not.

For the time AWS Weapons system start working with pylon list metod for GPS weapons - it can`t possible to use this on vanilla aircrafts or other mod aircrafts because pylons didn`t show in pylons list menu. Is it possible to somehow return to the old system without pylons for vanilla aircrafts and modded aircrafts aka -  old AMS -Lite ? Maybe make a system with pylons at will, return the old version with the ability, if desired, to still select the necessary pylons...

I think it's worked. (vanilla wipeout and cup A-10A)

Yes it works. For some reason I thought it didn't work for vanilla. The problem is AWS  does not support RHS aircrafts.  

There is no option to select  AWS weapons in the RHS pylons settings- like when choosing a weapon for pylons in the EDEN editor for vanilla wipeout .  Is it possible to add suport for RHS air, like vanilla wipeout ? Right now only possible way to use GPS weapons - via scripts

I'll take a look adding RHS pylon code to AWS config so make compatible.

Hiiii

 

any chance you can maybe do a quick update to the weapons system on this ?

 

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1663110214

 

It says it has the AARGM but it really doesnt and its a horrible horrible dealbreaker! 

 

I know its not your addon, just making a long shot request (cant hurt if I ask) ....🙃

Is it very difficult if i try to learn it myself?

 

(not addon making, just setting the config up to support a particular weapon - itgt is already integrated as JSOW works)

Hey Firewill,

 

On your A-6E's, if you go into edit vehicle appearance on any of the skin versions, it automatically changes the skin to a "High Vis" VA-35 skin when you select the option to fold wings.  Unless I'm doing something wrong.

A-6E isn't supported edit vehicle appearance, so I suggest don't use that feature.

[john111 76]

Could it be possible to add ability to add draw a line on map and make the autopilot to be able to fly at 10s of meters and fly as we draw that line and do drop on a pre-set target on it`s own and if possible ,a radar system we can use,too.

 

Like an AWACS.

If you talking about Autopilot, perhaps using Autopilot mod is solution.

Is there a different way to place them with wings folded without getting the skin change?

maybe I can use fold wing attribute from F-14 and F/A-18s.

[firewill 3880]

F-14 skin upgrade project is almost done and ready to deploy. 

key features

- All skins from main mod are upgraded 4k textures. 

- new Ambient shadow map applied

- new landing gear model

- Mod structure changed and Lite version added

since skin upgraded, file size is much more bigger than before, so I've decided split main file and skin file. Now skin files are in separate pbo file named "FIR_F14_Skins.pbo", it's can make Lite version, with low resolution and file size.

 

Before update (current)

FIR_F14.pbo and sign

FIR_F14_cfg.pbo and sign

 

After update

FIR_F14.pbo and sign

FIR_F14_cfg.pbo and sign

FIR_F14_Skins.pbo and sign

Once upon a time I wrote about a too small I TGT window. Are there any plans to at least lengthen the line with pylons in order to accurately see the name of the bomb and understand on which pylon what is installed? Now only "FIR_ " is visible on the I TGT window...

Spoiler

or am I mistaken and there is only the name of the pylons and not the weapons

press edit button when you selecting pylon and you can check weapon classname for now.
