Forces Gaming 690 Posted December 19, 2018 Not sure if you have plans of making any air type vehicles but would be nice to see the Sea King HC4 implemented into ArmA has I've never seen one unless there is but would be nice to see it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 410 Posted December 20, 2018 The Arma 2 BAF samples can be easily ported to A3. I think that the AAF hellcat helicopter is reusing the arma 2 BAF Lynx model so it would be ver easy to port it to A3. Just upgrade the arma 2 model p3d while reusing the Hellcat config. Que same with the Merlin helicopter. Regarding the viking... Granq from the swedish mod made a Bvs206 ir however it is spelled. The articulated from part moved using steering Wheel source animation.

mikephoenix 1098 Posted December 20, 2018 But where is the fun in porting stuff, for me the enjoyment is making them form scratch, for far too long British Arma content has had to put up with old ports 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 410 Posted December 20, 2018 You are right. Anyway, talk to Granq of the SPF (swedish mod). He has modelled a Bvs206 you could use as a base to create the viking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mankyle 410 Posted December 20, 2018 Sorry. I was writing with a mobile phone and it's difficult to write anything there. I meant that if you ask Granq he could tell you how he animated and configured his Bv206 so you can do something similar with the viking. Those articulated vehicles are not among the "normal type of vehicles simulated by Arma" so some special tricks must be done to get them ingame and make them work as they should.. BTW, I'm anxiously waiting for the bay class…. I'm doing myself a landing ship and I have always thought that there is a lack of amphibious capabilities in the Arma games. Arma 2's LHD was good but lacking in details. Keep us posted of your progress!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

da12thMonkey 1943 Posted February 19, 2019 Is it a Jackal 2, or a Jackal 2A? Asking because it has some features of the 2A's armoured doors like the seals around the edges, but the 2A's doors are horizontal along the bottom edge. Jackal 1, Jackal 2 and Coyote have doors that are slanted along the bottom edge (and along the whole outward side up from the wheel arch) but aren't sealing https://i.imgur.com/ZnkayNV.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikephoenix 1098 Posted February 19, 2019 Good spot! @da12thMonkey TBH i didnt even know there was a 2A, I did notice on some of them they have a longer ECM mounting plate with some kinda U shaped canvas underneath, I wonder what that is. Anyone got any Info? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The green end-caps are pre-cleaners to scrub some of the dust and shit out of the air going in to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikephoenix 1098 Posted February 19, 2019 Thats the one, is that how it is on all A2s? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted February 19, 2019 It's how it is since they came back from the desert and went to places like Poland, Estonia etc. Either they've had to cover some of the kit up to make it winterised/waterised and restricted airflow, or it's part of signature management so some of the electronics don't light up like a Christmas tree through IR. So have added this to keep certain kit cool. Seems like a general improvement to the whole vehicle since the mast/rack setup for all the stuff in the back seems a lot sturdier.
