MQ-9 Reaper (Predator) Rig/Import?

[B1nArY_001 0]

I have an MQ-9 Reaper that is nearing completion and the goal is to rig the rudders, ailerons and flaps and then import the model to ARMA and then if possible rig it so that it can assign and "paint" targets for ground troops or other armed aircraft along with its' own payload.

EDIT: Rig and animate the landing gear as well.

I have a good number of years modeling under my belt but this is my first for ARMA model and there does seem to be information regarding the process to achieve all of the above but it is rather scattered and buried. Has anyone done something similar and is there a guide to importing/rigging vehicles for ARMA someone could point me to?

Help or advice on any of the steps in the process would be most appreciated. Collaboration would always be an option too if you have the knowledge and are interested ; I am aware of the LODs and the texture types etc.

A few perks would be perhaps night vision for the camera view from the Predator and a tweaked physics model that allows low cruising speeds.

EMSI & pochyst have done an UAV RQ-1 Predator.

Also Armatec is working in another UAV Predator

Here you have some OFP modelling tutorials, they are seemed with ArmA modelling. Click here.

and here are more info about tutorials. Click here too

Good luck with your project
