rksl-rock 1300 Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) lockheed hopeless diamond??? Sheesh you may have to get banned from playing for life at this rate . Close enough... I'm calling this the "Hapless Diamante". I'm kinda cheating on this one because I'm extrapolating. But you are essentially correct. Imagine a cloned design... http://downloads.rkslstudios.info/RKSL/SECRET/Project-210-001.jpg http://downloads.rkslstudios.info/RKSL/SECRET/Project-210-002.jpg I couldn't find a suitable "prototype" that would be the Bird of Prey's counterpart so I've taken the concept and adapted it a bit. It's wearing Chinese roundels atm because the scenario I'm making it for involves China but you will be able to skin it how ever you like. I started making this series of models to fulfill two roles: 1) I wanted a proper prototype to steal in all these "steal the plane" missions 2) Serve as examples for the upcoming O2 tutorials. The MLODs will eventually be available once the new tut site goes live. More secrets to follow... as long as DKRaver doesn't guess them before I post the next one.

ray243 11 Posted May 30, 2011 Will there be any difference between Arma 2's drone and RKSL's drone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rksl-rock 1300 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Will there be any difference between Arma 2's drone and RKSL's drone? Yes. Primarily, (and visually) this really is an MQ-9 Reaper and not a Predator-B. BIS got it wrong with their model. Among other things Reaper had a different fusealage has two less pylons. The Predator-B is a seperate airframe which eventually evolved into the Reaper. You could say it was more of a prototype, there are so many mis-labeled images on the net now its an easy mistake. The second difference is in the way you control it, and how the information is presented to you. As the 'pilot' you have a proper display with all the flight information. As the 'gunner' and you have new capabilities and a fully working targetting display as per the pics we showed a few pages back. Unlike the real system it is intended to be used by one person, but the RKSL UAV system allows you to switch back and forth with no penalty. There are also a number of improvments over the BIS UAV system: You can actually lock the laser on to a target, then fine tune that lock. (No more knocking the mouse and losing the target) The ability to get proper coordinates from the display of both your own and the targets positions. Set custom waypoints with altitude. You have the ability to take control and fly yourself if you so choose. (PLANNED) the ability to set Laser 'frequencies' so that multiple laser designators can be used in the game area. Great for large MP games with multiple teams. NO more dive bombing onto targets. NO more target obsessed AI pilots that wont disengage. And quite a few other things...;) Edited May 30, 2011 by RKSL-Rock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray243 11 Posted May 30, 2011 So now we can finally fly like a UAV and not like a drunk pilot? Awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveP 66 Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks for the feedback so far guys.What did you have in mind? View distances aren't something I really have to worry about. So I'm not really sure of the advantages. I guess you mean the further you zoom in, the higher the view distance? Although that wouldn't help much with the object draw distance would it? Something to that effect; I'll admit that looking back on posting that I'm really not sure whether that's even possible in-engine right now, however it'd be a really useful feature on MP where fixed viewdistances can render UAVs and the like pretty useless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1733 Posted May 30, 2011 Rock, I think I asked you this before when we fiddled with a very early version last year - the square orbiting one that had a terminal control unit.... will it be lockable by AA weapons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tanky, thats just the stock BIS system with custom models. As for AA missiles: The larger ones will be lockable. But the mini and micro UAVs wont be. But that wont stop you shooting them out of the sky with cannon/gun fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rksl-rock 1300 Posted June 2, 2011 Still waiting ;) Don't get cocky! You do atleast have to give me some time to actually make the damn thing. :D In the last week alone i've resurrected and remapped two fairly beefy projects. The week before I did the same again...and made the Project 210 model. The week before that the Rapiers and Hawks and all that is on top of a lot of work stuff, I've been busy!

jagheterjan 10 Posted June 2, 2011 Basically all of the equipment that makes a C-130J a KC-130J. All of the RORO equipment such as the Cap2+ guns, the refuelling pod under the starport wing and standoff weaponry launcher under the port wing plus a couple less prominent things like the sensory equipment, domes, antennas and stuff.

JonathanBateman 10 Posted June 2, 2011 hey this is not related to your add ons but can i just ask when the RKSL website is going to be back online i have been checking it for frequently for a long time now but im sure it will be worth it. Also would you guys consider making a royal navy merlin as i cant find one around although im sure there must be one. Also im loving the c130 above looks like it is going to be a great add on!! thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also would you guys consider making a royal navy merlin as i cant find one around although im sure there must be one. Also im loving the c130 above looks like it is going to be a great add on!! thanks According to the plan it went on line about 2 months ago... but as you can tell the "plan" is proving to be increasingly irrelevant. I've been in and out of hospital recently and while i'm in there I cant get to my own sites. They are blocked by their firewall for "violent content". I'm having to VPN into server at home just to get my emails via remote desktop so I'm really limited with bandwidth, time and what I can do. Fortunately modelling isn't limited by net access so I'm managing to get a lot of stuff done. As for the RN Merlin HM1/2... don't worry its already in hand. The C-130 is actually and old (and unfinished) OFP addon that i've finally unwrapped and started to texture. With the new feature set possible in ArmA2:CO and OA it should be rather cool.
