UNN 0 Posted December 7, 2010 The A330 MRTT is about ~60% modelled. The demo is in game and flying but the scripted system for refueling is only in the "planning" phase. Due to the current restrictions with Arma's network code, what you will probably end up with is: A version that works for the player and multiple AI in SP. In MP, a version that works with one player at a time and any of his grouped AI. Or multiple AI grouped, aircraft. A400M (Gen3) is also ~60% modelled and in game for FM testing. But its a low priority due to the lack of the cargo system. We have a functional vehicle cargo system under joint development with CBFASI, using the attachTo command. The 2nd generation system is being planned with loads of new features, and I don't just mean dumping something randomly out the back of a truck. We will certainly try and push the new functionality of Arma, to its limits. The Harrier will be the next "big" release after the updates and phase 1 UAVs. Yeah, we have a lot of stuff currently under development for UAV's, thats why we are splitting it into modules for a staggered release. The Harriers will certainly benefit from the new features in Arma2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schancky 10 Posted December 7, 2010 Sorry to hear about whats happening rock, :( hope it all works our for you! I was just wondering if the seakings will be included in the "unpopular" solution to release things? I hope so :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aerodude111 10 Posted December 7, 2010 Thats cool and I take it its a GR.7 or something but what is the squadron colours will it have and the tornado F.3 as well will that be 111(F) squadron the last of the F3w? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rksl-rock 1301 Posted December 7, 2010 I was just wondering if the seakings will be included in the "unpopular" solution to release things? I hope so :D Right now I'm not planning on revisiting the Seaking for Public release since they would need a lot of scripting to get in game for the SAR and Medium lift roles in a meaningful way. That may change depending on how much free time UNN and I get but don't hold your breath. ;) Thats cool and I take it its a GR.7 or something but what is the squadron colours will it have and the tornado F.3 as well will that be 111(F) squadron the last of the F3w? Both GR7 and GR9 are represented. There really isnt much visible difference anyway. Just the LERX and some difference in the vents/ducts. Tornado F3 - will have multiskin support if it gets done. Right now its a very low priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aerodude111 10 Posted December 8, 2010 Just wondering whats happening with the website because when I try to look at it it asks for a username and password does that mean that only the RKSL team can get in or I need to make an account? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rksl-rock 1301 Posted December 8, 2010 Just wondering whats happening with the website because when I try to look at it it asks for a username and password does that mean that only the RKSL team can get in or I need to make an account? Its in maintenance mode because i'm reworking it atm. You wont be able to get access until I turn it on again. Hopefully it shouldn't be too long. Right now I'm a bit distracted with my Mother's chemotherapy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aerodude111 10 Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) will there be any more marks of sea king like the HU.5 the royal navy SAR helicopter. The sea king ASaC.7 command and control aircraft or THE ASaC AW101 which also a command and control platform. I just thought these would look good with the ships you were planning to make.

No there will not be a HU.5 RN SAR aircraft. Or an ASaC.7 or quite a lot of the OLD list due to the reasons stated quite clearly in the thread at several places. Once the new website goes live next week a revised list may get posted but in the mean time don't assume everything will get released. Circumstances have changed...

reconteam 19 Posted December 24, 2010 Real life issues, idiot hackers stealing and wrecking your stuff, and more? Sorry to hear about all of this Rock. Honestly I don't spend too much time playing ArmA2, and I hardly have a computer than can get the most out of it. Yet I appreciate your effort and that of most working on addons here. It's what keeps ArmA2 on my harddrive. Do the UK's latest round of defense cuts mean you guys are going to not do the F-35B? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rksl-rock 1301 Posted December 25, 2010 Happy Hangover and Indigestion day From UNN and Rock. We'd like to say a big "Thank You" to everyone who has supported us through this year. Unfortunately there wont be a proper RKSL release today. Sorry guys i know its almost a tradition, but if you've been following the thread you'll know life hasn't exactly gone to plan recently. So to make up for it, in a few days we're going to release a very large WIP "something" for you guys to look at. Until then, have a safe and happy holidays! All the best Gary and Tris aka UNN and Rock Hi RKSL-RockI sent you a PM mate about helping with the BAe Hawk's Regards Rick Rick, I'll PM you in a day or two. Its been chaos here and I've not had much free time with the run up to Christmas. ...Do the UK's latest round of defense cuts mean you guys are going to not do the F-35B? Well I have a reasonable but incomplete base model for one. I was looking for a responsible person/team to hand it off too but I've not had anyone take me up on it. But in direct answer to the question; Yes its dropped and I've already begun a totally new model for the F-35C. I've also redecked the CVF carriers to the PA2 config.

Tankieboy2 10 Posted December 29, 2010 Rock, great to see you plugging away for A2. I have many fond memories of your work and my OFP days. I now have a laptop that plays A2 and spend many hours on my rack on my ship playing it! I look forward to any releases in the future! Any chance of a Pinz (lol)? P.
