Integrating "Bolt-On" Vehicle Modifications

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm interested in adding external features to the ARMA 3 vanilla MH-9 to make it look more representative of current MH-6 variants in use by 160th SOAR (namely a slew of SATCOM/voice antennas and the frames for the fast ropes).

ref: http://rc.runryder.com/helicopter/gallery/28012/littlebirdwithfriesongrka1.jpg

I was hoping to accomplish this by modeling only the "new" items, and then somehow configuring an addon to place these new models onto MH-9 model itself.

My initial thought is I'd model the hardware, configure it as some kind of object and then use the "attatchto" command to literally place it onto the helicopter.

Is there a more proper or more effective method?

I apologize if this is a topic that's been well explained elsewhere; any of the tutorials I've come across only deal in manipulating the "whole" model.

Thank you in advance!

This is the only way, in fact, to modify A3 BI vehicles.

Keep the count of the individual items as low as possible (only 1 would be best), for better performance. And dont forget LOD ;)
