FRL Airforce Addons release thread

[WillaCHilla 10]

Will also test it this weekend with a TrackIR 4.-Report will follow at the latest on Sunday. Thanks a lot for this idea in advance.

Edit: Will also try to activate some freetrack-users from our community for further info.

Myke;1871388']Ok' date=' here is another pre-beta of the AH-1Z with TrackIR/Freetrack controlled turret. Mainly i tried to compensate helicopter movement so when it accelerates (nose down) or brakes (node up) you wont completely lose your target. Also i still need some feedback of non-TrackIR/Freetrack users if the automatic override of headtracking works and you can control the turret as usual.

Requires GLT Missilebox

Please let me get one thing clear: i need some feedback if everything regarding gun/turret control work as expected or it wont make it to a final state. So if you want have it, help me finishing it. All you need to do is to test if it works, no rocket science.

I would test all day, if you could also enable it as pilot. I asked you already but i ask one single time again.

I know what you think about the gunner seat, i think the same BUT, this is still a game and you said it's no big deal to enable for pilot on manual fire.

And you are the only one who can fulfill my dream. Plz think about it

Sorry guys I've tried to find a solution to this and I still am having problems with it.

How do you load the MOAB into the C-130 or Gnat's B-52?

I placed the MOAB within 25m of the C-130 and nothing.

Cheers in advance

I found that issue with the MOAB thats included in the weapons pack update. However I found that if you download the MOAB seperately (can be found on armaholic) it works fine. Hope that helped. :)

Would be more helpful to receive a sample mission which shows the problem as i can't reproduce the problem at my side and using old and outdated versions instead isn't really a good solution.

hey guys, i am having a problem with GLT Missile box add on. Everytime I start the game(Operation Arrowhead -Standalone) it comes up with "cannot load texture ca\air\data\col\au8b_ca.p99", When I delete this add on it works fine. I need this add on for the f22 and a couple other jets. The current addons that I am using are CBA and CBA_OA. I downloaded the GLT addon from here. Does anyone know how to fix this issue.

[[frl]myke 14]

Please copy/paste your arma2oa.rpt to www.pastebin.com.

What i can say so far, nothing in the missilebox uses a texture ot any other file with the named filepath. This Filepath even doesn't exist (it would be a default BIS texture under this path).

I think this is what you were after, there is a lot more info in this file, but i think this is what relates to my issue, here

I tried adding the glt missle box addon again, came up with samthing, but I also added the su34 addon. It came up with "Warning Message: Cannot load texture ca\air3\su34\data\int_new_nohq.paa." when i entered editor and went preview.

@ThePathMaker

can it be that you have Operation Arrowhead standalone?

I would not have a clue. I am new to PC gaming and addons. I only download the addons that were for arrowhead only.

[[frl]myke 14]

Well but i guess you know what game you bought, what it says on the cover (or similar in case of Steam/Direct2Disc downloads).

Have you bought ArmA 2?

Have you bought ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead?

Have you bought ArmA 2: Combined Operations?

ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead Standalone - bought from shop updated to version 1.57

You will need Combined Operations (which is ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead together) to use the addons.

Myke;1874366']You will need Combined Operations (which is ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead together) to use the addons.

The addons I downloaded say they only require CBA, CBA_OA, GLT Missle box or no addons required. But I didn't check GLT Missle box, does that require ArmA 2?

[[frl]myke 14]

The Missilebox requires Combined Operations, the Su-34 Desert requires Combined Operations. Not yet sure about the F-22 but as it requires the Missilebox....

Thanks, sorry about the run around. I didn't think to check the missile box requirements. They still seem to work, i just get that message. Anyway, thanks again.

mmmm

Myke as far as I'm concerned, the F-35B can carry JDAMs in their inner weapon bays

Do you plan to integrate your INS/GPS weapon systems in the F-35? I mean, if the Harrier can use them the F-35 could use them with much more reason.

And also, a cruise missile script like that of the Arma 2 tomahawk could be very useful, IMHO.

You can take a look at the scripts in the Air2 pbo

It's not final but could be the basis for a non Mando missile cruise missile system

He would need the MLOD to do that. There are Harrier and an A-10 MLODs that have been released by BIS a while ago (Because they were in ArmA1).

Erm...no. No need for the MLOD's for simple loadouts. I would need the MLOD's to make them fully Missilebox compatible but adding the JDAM and GPS/INS system is possible without them. Actually the planes added in the Missilebox are the A2/OA versions. I just needed to make a special BIS version of the bomb MLOD.

[b00ce 160]

Good to know, I was under the impression that they were needed. I think I was thinking of the lean/Track Ir gun cam maybe.

@anarcho

these messages just say that the listed strings are pesent twice as a stringtable. It wont cause any problems so far. I know it is annoying a bit but since it isn't something critical i will not release a hotfix.

So you can safely ignore them.

Btw, this line:

Item str_disp_server_control listed twice

is not caused by any GLT mod but by ArmA 2 itself. So BIS isn't any better. ;)

[anarcho 0]

problem is i only get those errors when i add my @falcon folder and it instantly crashes the server when someone tries to join.

[[frl]myke 14]

@anarcho

I don't know why your server crashs, i know that the addons are successfully used on multiple servers without any problems. The listed error message has just informal character and isn't a problem at all.

[anarcho 0]

got it working :) it was due to the maxopenfiles limit on linux that i had messed up.

nice addon btw :)
