    Hey Flatbear, maybe ted_hou didn´t listed CBA cus VTN already requires it (you haven´t ever used it before?), and kinda ALMOST all mods for Arma series rely on CBA iterations, but now that you know that, better let cba on all your modlauncher parameters, as it is needed for (at least) all cool mods round here lol

     

    The mission ends when you help the soviet troops halt the mujahadeen counter-attack... maybe it ended prematurely for you?

     

    About the lack of zoom, I´ve seen you found the link, but it ws disabled , so I´ll post my dropbox with it, I think TECAK wouldn´t mind it... thou I think it only gives back zoom to other weapon (VTN ones may have enforced the no zoom even with this mod, thou....)

    Ted_hou, this update fixed the blackscreen bug, everything is fine on my end, play it through again and now I want more lol...keep it up!

     

    cheers! (Nazdrovie, tovarich!)

     

    Thanks corporal_lib[br],

     

    I switched to the default arma 3 launcher as per Ted_hou's recommendation so I didnt put cba_a3 on the list.  I've never used vtn mod before, I usually just play with rhs for russian units so I didnt see a need to try vtn before this mission.  Usually I use playwithsix which automatically launches cba for me.  Thanks for the tecak link too!

     

    Idk, I had to try the ending several times since I died.  The first two times I tried the final counterattack, the fight went normally (but I died).  The third time, I fired a few shots and it ended before the taliban got within ~300m.  not sure what the ending conditions for the mission were whether they be defeat all of the taliban, defeat x% of the taliban, survive x minutes etc.

     

    Ted_Hou, I am really looking forwards to the next episodes in the campaign!  great stuff!

    The classnames for the Keftar are:

     

    TEC_VH_Helicopter_Keftar_F (the regular one)

     

    TEC_VH_Helicopter_Keftar_SOF_F (the black one)

     

    The Shahan just has one:

     

    TEC_VH_Plane_Shahan_F

    On another note, I've just finished handing off the CSAT Modification Project source data to someone so that he can keep the thing going. I can't work on it anymore for the near future and this is the first time I've been back to get the data. Expect to see developments soon (including new stuff and restored behind-the-scenes cut content) as well as fixes to what's about to be a six or so month old update. There'll be a new thread and everything. Keep your eyes peeled.

     

     

     

    Good to see you again! how is the military academy (was it west point) going?

    I finally got it to work for me.  it needed CBA_A3 so you might want to add that to the required mod list.

     

    At the end, it seems like the mission ends too easily even without killing all of the invaders.  I just fired a few shots and it said mission successful and then ended.  Other times, the ending went on much longer and I died.

    I also dont like how VTN mod disables zoom, people can focus in on things in real life too with their eyes even if they don't have telescopic eyeballs.  It also makes ak ironsights a lot easier to use with rmb zoom.

    Yeah, it does disables the zoom... but some pages ago there´s an optional pbo´s to re-enable zoom =0 (third party, as the VTN team disabled zoom for realism sake)

    ah ok thanks, I will look for that mod to reenable zoom though

     

    I think disabling zoom was a bad call though, people can focus in on things in real life too with their eyes even if they don't have telescopic eyeballs.  It also makes ak ironsights a lot easier to use with rmb zoom.

    Functions are not loaded properly since I didn't pack the campaign into pbo.

     

    You need to enableFilePatching in your Arma 3 launch parameters. If you're using the default Arma 3 launcher, you can enable it in "Parameters -> Advanced -> Advanced -> EnableFilePatching"

     

    how do you do that with playwithsix?

     

    edit: I tried it the say you said to do it but it still doesnt work.  The mission starts but the BTR doesnt go anywhere and you can't dismount it either.  Does it need cba_a3 to work in addition to your modlist?

    Oops. The black screen is a scripting error on my part. Took a while but finally found it. Thank you for reporting (and for your patience).

     

    The RHS scope error came up with the last RHS update but does not affect these missions. So I wouldn't worry about it.

     

    EDIT: Fixed version uploaded.

     

    Thank you!  There is no black screen but once the mission starts, I am just sitting on top of the btr while the music plays and I cannot get off nor does the btr move anywhere.  Is this a bug?

    The vehicle is spawned with the "safety" turned on. press your fire-mode switch key, F by default, to switch to Low Rate of Fire Miniguns, High Rate of Fire Miniguns, and Rocket Salvo.

     

     

    The model is custom built, there is a built in thermal/nightvision camera, the flight model is tuned for agility in ArmA 3 by a large collection of veteran pilots, and it has countermeasures.....just to list a few differences.

     

    Your best bet is to download it (its free) and fly one after the other to see the exact differences.

     

    Thanks! I actually came here because Dyslexi from Shacktac recommmended it in his latest youtube video and I was curious about this different looking little bird
