Why don`t you try to get these models in Arma 3? They will fit neatly in the time frame of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yasotay   198 Posted June 27, 2019 That is an early artwork from BI for the Blackfish that came out with Apex DLC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yasotay   198 Posted July 4, 2019  So things are slow, but since everyone wants WIPs... This is the MAV-85 Omaha, Special Operations version of the V-280. It carries up to 12 Operators, and can be loaded with 12 DAGR, 2 Griffin missiles or 2 SDB, or 2 AGM-114. It has a 20mm turret (pilot or co-pilot) and two 7.62 mini-gun at crew stations. The 7.62 mini-gun of the crew are remote operated (CE and gunner) and able to auto-track targeting solutions. 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuakeIV Â Â 1 Posted July 28, 2019 Minor curiosity: are the tails slightly shorter and less swept back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yasotay   198 Posted July 29, 2019 20 hours ago, QuakeIV said: Minor curiosity: are the tails slightly shorter and less swept back? Yes the "V" tail we use is swept differently than those on the V-280 demonstrator. We used the tail section from the graphics and drawings of the V-280 as Bell expected the initial version of the aircraft to look like if fully developed for the military. it is very likely that the final version of the real aircraft will differ from the demonstrator and the version we picked if it is fully developed. As an example, compare the Lockheed/Martin JSF prototype to a USMC F-35C. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuakeIV Â Â 1 Posted August 18, 2019 Will this support the advanced flight model stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yasotay   198 Posted September 1, 2019 @QuakeIVSorry for the delay on answering. Unfortunately, no. Because Arma VTOL are in the "plane" class of Arma, the AFM does not apply. One of the reasons for the length of time is that we have been working on the flight qualities to give the aircraft the flight qualities that the U.S. Army is asking for with the real aircraft. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SonicJohnBH Â Â 18 Posted October 9, 2019 These models are GORGEOUS. Glad to see someone is giving these awesome airframes the recognition they deserve. Hopefully this makes it's way to the steam workshop some time so it can get some more attention. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yasotay   198 Posted November 9, 2019 Hey folks, know there are many waiting for this mod. The very small team working this effort all have very demanding day jobs and families as well. We would love to put this out tomorrow, but the available time to work it just ain't there. It will be a while yet before we can put it on the street. Thanks for the patience. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaire Couchpotato   10 Posted November 23, 2019 I can't wait see more of this mod  🙂  Are you guys making the S-97 raider & the SB1 Defiant? I saw that Sikorsky-Boeing had 3 different versions of this helicopter: Raider X / SB1 Defiant / Attack Helicopter versions of the same air frame I was just curious anyway thanks for the hard work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
