Thanks to NightIntruder for an example showing me how to do this!! We have formation lights! They've gotta be adjusted a little bit and two more have to be added on each wing but Ill do that in the morning. Anyway, behold!

Nice! Are IR formation lights planned, if possible in Arma?

 

Also l, did some digging, and found an unclassified flight manual, if you guys are looking for reference material:

https://info.publicintelligence.net/E18-G-000.pdf

 

I did a little looking on the Internet for weapon systems, and according to Wikipedia (I know) they're capable of launching the AGM-154 JSOW which is a GPS guided glide-bomb, intended for hitting targets from outside the reach of enemy AA (to the tune of ~130km IRL).

 

I know you've stated that this isn't meant to be a CAS platfom, and as it's your addon you obviously have the right to do as you want to with it. That being said, I feel that your users would have a lot more fun if they could drop two or so of these with a standard loadout, especially if they intend on being in the aircraft for an entire mission.

 

 I hope you don't take this as pestering, just trying to  offer a suggestion. I really appreciate the amount if work you guys are putting into releasing this, and I feel like most addon makers don't get the recognition they deserve. Anyways, I'm still stoked to see the progress you're making!

Nice that you found a NATOPS, i think that will be very usefull!

But if people want to do Carrier Launched CAS OP's they can use the F/A-18E/F from John Spartan & Saul! So please stop about that subject!

Looks good.  I used the compass texture on my EF2000 and it works, but could be improved.

In response to one of your earlier statements in regards to the lack of a JSOW- are you saying your EA18G will be completely incapable of defending itself? Or will it sport the standard x2 AIM-120 AMRAAM's? ( I'm new to the party here, and this isn't specified in your Original Post.)

Yes it will carry tge AIM-120's. But keep in mind that in real life the Growler has an escort of 2 F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, it never flies alone on a mission

No I think it should have 15 missiles LOL

We are actually putting 100 missiles on it, it will really add to the game experience. lol

My squadron doesn't have Growlers, they were actually just a plan before I finished my time in service. Though, a friend of mine works with them now as an AE. :) This is a great idea for a mod and I can't wait.

Hey guys, in order to get this bird out soon, we are looking for a texture artist.

We are looking for people who can:

-Unwrap

-Texture

Any help would be appreciated. Nearly everything else is complete except some texturing stuff which has been holding us back for some time now. We have had multiple artist who say they are complete with the texturing work , but then go dark and we never hear back. 

Anyway, any help with these things would be very much appreciated.

Thanks a ton everyone,

Rob

Sorry, but I feel this is kinda a personal attack to me.

I didn't go dark and I really wanted to help you, but I simply cannot work with a straight output of OB files. If the file you sent me would have them grouped together and ready for export, I could texture the whole cockpit in no time.

But when the file consists of about five hundred auto-generated selections from OB, and it would take me a couple of hours to fix this (while first of all I have no idea how the texture is packed), I simply don't have the time for this AND texture.

Hey there! Sorry for giving the wrong idea, I should've been more clear. I am referring to a few who said they had completed the project a long time ago but then went dark. This has nothing to do with you. You offered and tried to help. We appreciate it, sorry you took it that way. I'm trying to get someone to get the cockpit in shape so you can texture it, that is what I was looking for with that post. You're helping us texture this bad boys cockpit, and trust me, we really do appreciate it :) hopefully no hurt feelings.

Cool then, no hard feelings. As soon as you have the file, hit me again.

Hey everyone, have no fear, this addon is still being made, I am just slowly learning some stuff as we go along. But the other day I woke up to some sad news, that was out data base had been breached. Although there wasnt much on there except PBOs for the Growler, I am exceptionally dissapointed someone would do this to an addon maker and basically steal my work before a release. I know who it is, someone on steam named "Cpt.Hawkins". He even made a youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1iZmy8QvM0   Nether the less, this project is still being worked on, this was just a set back.
