Curiously, however, the US Navy use the F-16 as Agressor trainer plane.

I didn't know that...however it makes sense. Besides being a well-exported fighter plane, hence the possibilities to see smaller nations deploy it even against the USA, the "Viper" is still a tough cookie to swallow. Unless he's thrown against 5th gen planes, I bet the latest most upgraded versions flown by expert pilots could still hold its own in short engagements. So those F-18 and F35 better work and train hard...😋

I agree in every part 😉

The entire point of the Aggressor fleet DoD-wide is to provide Dissimilar Air Combat Training. Thus, the Navy might need aircraft that are dissimilar to their primary strike aircraft.

Thank you for all your hard work, guys! I absolutely can't make a "must have" list and not have USAF Mod on there.

Two minor bug reports - please let me know if I have to post them somewhere else ...

1. Has anyone else noticed that the decals on the F-35A are all pasted on the main texture with black borders? Is this a known problem or only happening with my specific system?

2. I think the shadow LOD of the F-35A heavy version (with outer pylons) is also used for the stealth version with blank wings, leading to strange pylon shadows under the wings with certain lighting angles.

 

Best,

 

Jonas

I know you aren't supposed to ask about the release dates of a particular item, however I ship off to bootcamp on October 7th, and I was just wondering (hopefully) if the spook would be finished by then? been waiting for this mod and the spook for a good amount of time and I'd love if I would get to play the mod in it's entirety before I become extremely busy and no longer have the time for things like this. Love what you guys are doing and keep it up!

Is the B-2 Stealth Bomber still going to be a thing?

They stated at the beginning of the thread what they planned on including and what their priorities are.

[Lala14 135]

it is with great pleasure to announce that we have moved the AC-130U into public beta, after several weeks of hard work on this single asset alone, we have knocked out quite a few bugs and feel as though the state that it is currently in is good enough for public use. You will still find debug information showing on screen which is intentional for bug reporting, this will be removed when the asset is no longer in beta. As for the future of the AC-130, it will be moved into the AFSOC pack at some stage so it will not be a "lone" release asset. Please report bugs on our github or on the ac-130u bug reports channel on our discord.

Thank you for your continued support and patience from all members of the USAF Team. Enjoy.

Awesome, also did you make optional skins for the c17, yknow to show the various bases or nations that have them

Hi there!

 

Testing the AC-130 and it is fun so far! I love the detail that went into the systems.

Is there any way to get an AI-driven AC-130 to react in an appropriate way when it is in contact with an enemy? I know this is a general Arma thing and you can't do anything directly about it. Right now I'm using UnitCapture and UnitPlay to manage the flight path - I'm just checking if there's a more elegant way.
