Absolutely fanstastic ! Well done mate.

Your Youtube teaser was brilliant and now I'm looking forward to flying this baby.

If only the GSh-301 aiming point could be moved a little upwards...

Awesome plane.

[an_enlarged_stomach 1]

awsome plane.

Flares can be wlecomed.

P.S. don't the ruskies have more pwerful AT weapons?

Oh, and is it just me, or does the plane handle a little bit like a pig?

[PSYCHOSIM 0]

Nice but i've also got the cockpit white sheet!!!!!!!!!

[Howard 0]

Please add the afterburner and gear up to the "main menu"

It's extremely annoying for people like me who fly with a joystick + keyboard to press everything on the action menu.

I usually use binds, but when you close the gear up and burner into a sub-menu my binds won't work.

Your joking right ?!!!

This thing rips up the air. I'd say you have a mod conflict or joystick or some other issue.

@Web Spots, thanks for the Mirrors

@all

Thanks for the feedback

White instrument dash

Reported by some, but certainly not all. Still need to find the root cause.

@Mehman

Yeh, tug is using simple GEO Lod towing. Any new planes with a simple "post" as a front GEO landing gear can be towed via the tug.

@Pathetic_Berserker

That actually where missiles are launched from, theres a battery of tubes in the ramp.

And yes, you are nit picking over the Kuznetsov texture

@Alex

Will fix XEH in next version. Actually thought I had done enough to get them to work. (I dont use XEH myself)

@Socomseal93

Read the readme! You have to move the carrier to beat the "holes".

@ShadowY

lol ...... I STILL say game players are never happy with "real-life" FOV vs. "expected extended gamer" FOV

@an_enlarged_stomach

Flares: Thought about adding them, but I feel if its added to 1 plane, it has to be added to all. Hence it needs to be a separate "global" addon.

@zGuba

Thanks mate, but no partial releases / updates until more issues and suggestions are identified and fixed.

@Howard

hmmmm .... don't know. Seems we can't please everyone.

If I do that we have generic complains about Menu clutter.

But you said nothing positive about the plane ..... so I guess you won't be flying it much anyway

[nuxil 2]

i just tested it and i like it

but i have to agree a bit with Howard. its a bit anoying.

i dont use bindings. but i find it clumsy with the gear up thing.

for the Su controll system you should rather have putter the Hook animation in there instead of gear up.

but after all.. i'll rate it 9 out of 10

keep up the good work!!

@an_enlarged_stomach

When Gnat adds XEH in the next version, the flares addon (william1 was it who made them?) will start work. So just hang on and you will get it. Well you have to download the flare countermeasure addon. Just search here or armaholic.

To me its flares, Dynamic view distance (wich i cant understand people who doesnt use when flying these awesome addons?! and 6th sense tracers. They should all work when XEH is added to the config.

Been doing some more flying with this jet... MAN its so feckin juicy! The Blackbird is kickin Awesome work.

Haha!!

Yeah, I usually expect a little more performance then there can be, especially after I watched stealth, and played with fromz f-18s, which might be a more manuverable than the rest, since it travels at lower speeds....

Anyway, I use a keyboard now.

Maybe keyboeards are't that good.

Anyway, I have to say that the plane is sick.

man, this is great stuff. nice work with the carrier too. definitely better than any opfor aircraft i've tried so far. it handles nicely - feels heavy, yet you can throw it about too. I noticed that the engine nozzles actually change in size according to throttle position - awesome stuff. the amount of detail you have in this thing, it's great.

a few problems, i found, though:

- 2 CV land Procedure options appear in the demo mission, and attempting to use either option causes the jet to STOP in midair. ok at altitude, because i can use the fall to re-gain flying speed, but if it happens at anything lower than 150 or so metres, the jet is lost.

- it's has very slow acceleration - i'm having trouble catching up to the tail of harriers, unless i have afterburner engaged, which gives me a very small closing speed.

- the little bug on the HUD that indicates flight path seems to be off - it either lags, or indicates an angle higher than that of the actual flightpath. makes it harder to bring it in to land.

- does the cannon really fire in 20-round bursts? it's hard to both get used to the cannon and attack more than 1 target when it's limited to 9 bursts. i would have thought a fighter wouldn't have a burst setting on it's guns.

- it has a very nose-up trim setting - i'm finding i have to hold the stick very far forward in order to keep it straight and level.

- kusnezov: if your standing near the ramp missile launcher when a mando missile takes flight, you get pushed through the deck

(probably not much you can do about this one)

- that tug: no bugs, just praise. seriously, who would have figured something so simple would be so much fun?!

i'd have to say that i agree with the others when they ask for the 'gear' option to be left on the normal action menu. it's really not one of those things you want to concentrate on doing when landing or taking off.

Bastard

Well, It's only two extra options on the menu, I guarantee you that it won't be any "meny clutter"

When I saw the teaser video for this one a month or so back, I read that that you were trying to avoid clutter.

So I guessed that you were going to have alot of options, like on the F-18 (which can be quite annoying) but you shouldn't worry about that, the two extra tabs won't take space.

And finaly, I love the mod :P

It flies nicely, VERY GOOD job on making the FX script passive, so that you don't have to script and blah blah blah into the mission folder, etc.

Demo mission is pain in the ass hard though.

I really love the loadouts, though it seems like the "Whatever-250" bomb ain't very accurate, but it doesn't matter really.

I don't know if you made the carrier, but it's awesome! It looks big and mighty, though it can take a good load of hits before starting to "burn"

I tried loading up a F-18 with loads of anti-ship missiles and fired everything at it, for no effect, a nuke seemed to do the trick though!

Let's see.. What more?... The thuging vehicle thingy is awesome, it works so perfectly!

I hope you'll be adding some kind of basic missile launch detection and flare function in later releases, not the kind of flares that Mandoble or Franze's flares that simply avoids EVERYTHING, I'm thiking more of the flares in Senitel's Cobra pack, where the missiles can actually hit you.

And one last thing, would it be possible to add a big boom sounds when you go in a high speed of say, 900? (I'm thiking just a bit after you reach the sonic boom effect)

So, a overall AWESOME addon, really good job

Is that enough nice words for you?

[FriketMonkey 0]

Great plane and carrier. That little tug car works like a charm. To bad the cockpit is white though... Anyway thanks for your hard work!

[[aps]gnat 28]

Is that enough nice words for you?

LOL ... yep ... that might do it

Your right in part but, initially I thought I'd have a lot more menu options in the end .....

Free Fall bombs arent accurate because .....

Gnat,

I just did a few tests to see if the white dashboard was caused by a conflict with other content.

It still seems to appear with vanilla ArmA Gold v1.14, with and with out QG. I simply put "rktsu33.pbo" in my @Test Mod folder by itself then tried it with and without DBE1 in the target line.

I just placed the Blackbird(as player) and placed the rest as Empty on the Rahmadi airstrip. They all seem to have a white, barely translucent sheet over the upper instruments.

Hopefully you can replicate it and it's not my ArmA setup.

White sheet et al., this thing kicks some serious @ss! And once again to all that bitched that Gnat talked a good game but never released shiite in the past.....

Hmmmm... what's this? He comes through once again.

Ahh ahh... hey Gnat, any updates? Are you ever gonna release anything or just post pictures?

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.

Yeh, tug is using simple GEO Lod towing. Any new planes with a simple "post" as a front GEO landing gear can be towed via the tug.

Most excellent! This will come handy in the future.

[franze 196]

Gnat,

If you want to bind certain actions to a key (gear actions to the corresponding keys) and vice versa, you can use this in your cfguseractions:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

shortcut="vehicleTurbo";

And you can find a list of shortcuts here.

If you want to add actions with a shortcut via scripting, you can do it this way:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

action1 = vehicle addAction ["Afterburner", "afterburner.sqf", "vehicleTurbo"]

This will enable you to use keys and various bindings in place of having to scroll through the action menu.

Hi, i've a problem, how i can place Aircraft and men on the deck?

Thank, bye!

Use the setpos command in the init of your vehicle:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this setPos [getPos this select 0,getPos this select 1,17]

Where 17 is the altitude of the object.

Very nice addon!

Bugs:

- slow acceleration

- cockpit textures missing

Ok thank, and another question, how i can say to the AI Su-33 to take off from the ship?

[GodHammer 0]

Awesome work, gonna test it very soon

Models look gorgeous

[xeno 234]

Gnat,

don't know if somebody else allready reported this (MP problem).

Bombs or other weapons disapear sometimes and appear a second later again under the wings.

And please, make normal action menu entries

You can find some impressions from a carrier operation on our server today here:
