FRL Airforce Addons release thread

Christ no! This is one of the reasons that I don't use ACE! The loss of sight on high G turns was so bad that I uninstalled it.

Well, it is a matter of balancing. Realism is cool unless it starts to cut down fun.

Be assured that i'm mainly focussed on playability so probably certain things might not be as accurate as some might wish. I try to place it somewhere between "ultrarealistic" and "hell of fun to fly". Although it is a balancing on razors edge. ;)

great work! Is it possible/planed to add the arma2 shaders (relections on cockpit glass etc)?

[[frl]myke 14]

ArmA 2 shaders are already applied.

[jumpinghubert 49]

not easy to explain with my crappy english, but I mean the little bit "wet/oil/gloss" look of the surface and the multiple reflections of the cockpit glass. I think it calls rvmat shaders. You see the difference comparing with Harrier for example.

Cross fingers that you will find the right balance and don't overdo it with effects. :)

[[frl]myke 14]

rvmat is the material file which defines which shader is used but also defines the normal mapping, glossiness, reflections and everything else. Also TI is defined through the rvmat file (at least the TI image).

Be assured that it (hopefully) look great ingame.

And check your PM's ;)

I am always curious to wonder if it would be possible for the pilot to use the LANTIRN pod on the f16 to self designate targets for GBU? Im just curious since surely there would be some way for the pilot to self laser while flying? This model does feature the laser pod right?

nice work so far by the way, love flying the current model

one last question Myke: will the update when its released be followed by/include IDF skin. You seem to have IDF f16 in yer sig :)

I think Myke's addons are supported by Mando Missiles, that should allow you to self designate targets.

[[frl]myke 14]

@TomatoArden

it is IDF? Didn't knew, actually this isn't my F-16 in the sig but a F-16 pic i found through google. ;)

Skins i can confirm so far: default grey, desert, agressor (russian look-alike) and thunderbirds.

What i release will be US on west and (agressor scheme) on east side.

Besides that, the F-16 is already prepared to allow a lot of customization just by config which goes beyond simple hull retexturing.

Myke very good update on the F-16

I also make a newer texture for f-16 ,little more remapping so that we can easy use for airshow skins , like the USAF thunderbirds.

have fun

Awesome work there and an aggressor will be nice too so we can recreate our very own reg flag exercises. I thought the pic in your sig was the side view of your model and that you had put the IDF skin on it, didn't realise its from a real photo (thats how good your add-on is I suppose).

@Daniel yeah I got round to working out how to use mando properly just now and got to use the LGB bombs. its not as easy as I mightve hoped to use (mostly because of view distance meaning I only have limited time to designate targets while flying over head but its pretty fun none the less!

[icebreakr 3140]

Mmm.... airshow skin :) eddyD there will be such event in the upcoming week (or weeks?) - Powershow. When do you plan to have it "public"?

Not soon enough i'm affraid. The actual pics (and textures) probably wont fit on the old F-16. Although applying it with setobjecttexture wouldn't be a problem

@muttly

Can it be you use both configs? I mean the OA and the A2?

[ravendk 25]

AWSOME!! USAF thunderbirds! I saw them back in the 90's in Aalborg, Denmark.

[muttly 10]

hmm maybe this what i got in my @GLTf16 addons folder

glt_f16.pbo

glt_f16_oa_config.pbo

glt_f16.pbo.GLT_ADDONS.bisign

glt_f16_oa_config.pbo.GLT_ADDONS.bisign

@muttly

This is correct. The rpt entries just say that the stringtable is present twice. Please check other loaded modfolders aswell if somewhere another GLT F-16 is loaded, maybe the previous older version.

After all, although it is annoying, it wont cause problems.

[muttly 10]

Yeah its weird i cant find it.

Like the old version stayed on my pc or something owell as long it dont give me problems.

Nice job by the way loving them:)

[IrishDeviant 10]

Hey, Myke. Sorry I haven't been around. Got tied up with work, etc. Anyway, I just downloaded the Su-34 to try out the bombs I made, but I can't enter the aircraft. I stand next to it, use scroll wheel, but no option to enter. Do I need to be standing somewhere different than the regular Su-34?

btw, I've started using Maya instead of Max, and I'm enjoying it a million times more. I just had too many issues with Max. Anyway, I'd be happy to remodel some of the other armaments for the missile box if you're interested. Also, you did a great job getting the normals tuned on my AGM-88

Edited September 20, 2010 by IrishDeviant

[[frl]myke 14]

@IrishDeviant

glad to see you back mate. Yes, the Su-34 has somewhat strange behaviour for getting in: you have to be near the model center and looking to the stairway, then you should get the action. Tried everything to fix it but as you see with no result.

I will surely rework it and then finally try to fix this issue but this wont happen too soon.

[Zeichef 10]

It has been 3 weeks since you said it will take several weeks for it to be ready for release so I'm guessing it's coming....right? I need to fly this thing :(

I mean, the RKSL Eurofighter is absolutely fantastic, really beautiful (plus the typhoon is my fav aircraft) but this...this looks wayyy deeper than that when it comes to features/functions etc

[manzilla 1]

I'd imagine it will be done when he has the time.

It is not that easy to get everything work right (or at least make it looking as it would work right). Scripting and config takes a lot of work and also a lot of research.

I will talk to my wife that she gives me the time i need to finish the F-16 altough i'm affraid she wont be happy at all. Which silly idiot invented such a useless thing like "real life".
