Mattastic 97 Posted September 30, 2015 Great work so far! On Sept 14 you updated the thread showing the progress of the CH-53 stating you finished the model and are starting work on animations and skins. I was wondering if there is any new information to tell about its development. How close are the animations and skins to completion? Have you guys narrowed down a date range for release? Stuff like that. Keep up the good work, I look forward to the next update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurtleImpaler 197 Posted October 1, 2015 Did you slam into the church in the first F35 picture? Lmfao yes, yes i did xD What! No F/A-18C screens?! What heresy is this! There are some a few pages back. Great work so far! On Sept 14 you updated the thread showing the progress of the CH-53 stating you finished the model and are starting work on animations and skins. I was wondering if there is any new information to tell about its development. How close are the animations and skins to completion? Have you guys narrowed down a date range for release? Stuff like that. Keep up the good work, I look forward to the next update. Great question! we had some exporting issues with the model and some cockpit issues that have since been fixed. Ive been trying to work on it but for the past month work has been hell since the fiscal year just ended. I should have more time now to work on it and hopefully finish it here soon. In regards to the release date: We do not have one. This is because things happen, arma updates, and then we have to spend even more time fixing it. Plus you also have to remember we all have day jobs, so modding comes second to that, which makes modding 10x slower. For example, i usually get home around 7-8PM EST, so the drive/energy to work on mods is near zero on the weekdays lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eran100 13 Posted October 1, 2015 Is the F35C going to have VTOL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phantomphan 54 Posted October 1, 2015 The F-35B has VTOL capability, the F-35C is carrier capable. So no, it won't have VTOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WastedMike_ 27 Posted October 2, 2015 Did you guys create a new USS Nimitz for Arma 3 or are you referring to the port over from Arma 2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxone 1044 Posted October 2, 2015 Did you guys create a new USS Nimitz for Arma 3 or are you referring to the port over from Arma 2? We are working with TeTeT on his A2 port, no further details are given for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4NUM4N 47 Posted October 2, 2015 Guys you said, that you will add in the M777, is it possible that it works like the M119 Howitzer from Arma 2 Ace? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurtleImpaler 197 Posted October 2, 2015 Guys you said, that you will add in the M777, is it possible that it works like the M119 Howitzer from Arma 2 Ace? Yep. You'll also be able to pack it and tow it around, or airlift it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurtleImpaler 197 Posted October 5, 2015 ALLCON: UPDATE MONDAY(SPECIAL) So a few big things to go over everyone, and make sure to spread the word accurately. First off: We have gone through a few team changed and have restructured the team to be more efficient so we can release mods in a more efficient fashion. With this, we are now working equally on all assets, that means aircraft, ships, ground assets, terrains, advanced systems, and player skins are getting worked on almost on the same level. With this, we are looking for new members to join our team with modding experience from any of the arma games since not much has changed engine wise since the A3 engine is from ~2001. If you would like to join, please send me a PM with previous work and a few words on why you'd be a good part of the team! :D We are also looking us US Marine Corps and United States Navy active duty/reserve/EAS/retired personnel to join us as advisers to ensure the accuracy in our mods. To apply, just send me a PM with a quick description of your service. All applications will receive a response within 72 hours. Secondly: We have decided to do something to being more immersion and knowledge to pilots. With this, we have decided to give our aircraft(and maybe all other vehicles, still under discussion) more functions. This means that all aircraft will have 3 modes accessible via Service Menu or Startup Module: Easy Mode(Usual A3 startup/flight), Medium Mode(usual flight, interactive MFD/Some active functions), and Hard Mode(Basically DCS in Arma 3). For now, this will only be aircraft, but we are looking to expand to other vehicle classes. Due to this, the traditional FLIR cam screen will be only available in the AH-1Z. All other aircraft will use a new type of lag-free FLIR MFD like in real aircraft, as well as some new MFD options that pilots can use and some new options overall for pilots to use. Bare in mind that this will make our mod development go slower since we have to look into startup procedures for each aircraft and where each button is, but we are hoping this will improve the A3 experience and give pilots more knowledge into their airframe.

mdtorch 39 Posted October 5, 2015 That sounds really awesome. I saw a Youtube video about some Arma 3 A-10 mod in which you had to go through the complete starting procedure in order to get the whole thing going: I would love to see that in every single ArmA vehicle, no matter if flying, diving or driving... THAT would be awesome! Is it something like this we can expect? ...but: I guess that means the F-18 wont be released this week as announced? :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We never announced any release dates so i don't know where you're getting that information from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdtorch 39 Posted October 5, 2015 Also, as some pre-release hype: The F/A-18C is in the final stages of development! I would say it will take another 2+ weeks to be done since we're trying to make everything perfect(Arma willing, Hail Bohemia lol) :D ;) But I'm not too serious about it.... good things take a while, and im more than willing to wait for your amazing stuff :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyclonicTuna 87 Posted October 5, 2015 Wow! You guys are really stepping up the scope of this project, really amitious. I wish I could be of assistance but I'm still sort of discovering modding and spending the rest of my time on school. Maybe some time later, I wish you guys best of luck on this endeavour :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
officeramr 269 Posted October 5, 2015 Interesting, but how would that work in land vehicles? To my knowledge MRAPS just require you to place the key in the ignition and off you go...maybe airbreak simulation for the LVS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To my knowledge MRAPS just require you to place the key in the ignition and off you go...maybe airbreak simulation for the LVS? To be honest, the other vehicle interaction hasn't been thought out much. We know this will work 100% in aircraft but ships would be kinda easy for the most part but ground vics would be the hardest. Don't expect much from the ground vics since you can use VR Gloves in A3 lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zcrazyx 10 Posted October 5, 2015 Will the T-45C have the correct start up and shut down procedures if any at all? I would help you but i'm only a civil pilot with ratings for tail wheel and high performance aircraft so i do like realism. :) Another thing, will the F18C be released without the start up features first and then be updated later to include the start up procedures? Also, make sure that T/AV-8B Harrier looks sexy, wouldn't want to be disappointed with one of the most British aircraft in the pack ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The TAV-8B will be a Viagra replacement, so get ready :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stumpysequoia 25 Posted October 5, 2015 Well then... I did not expect that kind of a Monday update. Very pleasing to see that using modules you will allow it to appeal to people who play with mods for fun, all the way to realism unit level. Very nice. Now as an aid to those who don't usually use modules, will you be setting aircraft default (No linked modules) to Easy mode? (Figured someone would want to know.)
