Auf Englisch bitte Anyway I'm a bit fuzzy on how to use them myself, even though I support it through my own mod. The JTAC can't designate if it's a BIS JTAC, use a MJTF JTAC (either Desert or Woodland) instead, as they're coded to send remote targets, not the standard NATO/Men one. What should happen is that it should populate on your sensor panel and it would automatically track, that's how I at least understand it.

Maybe, but operationally they never flew with them, and they're not available with the current model (never had them in the first place), but I can ask ADuke to see if he'll model some, but it's not correct to have them.

I know you mean well and more than likely it's a capability that I simply haven't thought of so don't take it I don't appreciate your hard work you put into the adjustment. But I have plans when I'm not posting on where my mod is going or I just don't post it because its probably something small or large, depending on what it is. Posting modded configs is not good because it throws a possible wrench in my mod and therefore people think it's "approved" when it is not. PM me and I'll check it out and yay or nay it. Or simply ask me here on this topic thread and either way if you take the time to ask, more than likely I will say yes. - Texture Edits: Generally I don't mind texture edits but again if you're going to mod my mod then again, PM me to keep things nice so i know what's going on in case of any issues that may arise. - Adding it to other mods: And if you're adding it to a public release as part of another mod, again just take that time to PM me so I know what's going on. - Modpacks: You do not need to ask permission to add this to a modpack. As long as you're just adding it then there is no reason to ask. - Redistribution: So far Armaholic, PWS, and occasionally Arma3.de has the authority to redistribute my mods as they're respected, and more public and they deserve the allowance given their hard work. Other modders, or even players DO NOT have permission to re-upload without permission. So to make it clear, ASK before finding some hostile comments and I will take appropriate action to get it removed. If you really like the mod and find it within yourself to enhance your reputation then I will never permit such a thing. I'm not your Stepping Stone to better greatness. If you want to be popular get off your fat ass and get to work. Requests: - Commune with the spirits, or consult an Ouija board, which is this: http://amzn.to/1I8Ogiw - If tell you no, it means NO. - Don't ask me to redo other people's works, I don't have your permission, nor are you as a player authorized to "give permission", I will check and if you say that it's "okay" then I will delete your PM if you PM me. - I don't work for you, therefore be nice and ask, not order around. - And if for some reason I accommodate your request, then I still don't work for you. I'm being nice and taking the time to do work for you. I don't work for you and don't expect me to take it. Then your request will magically disappear and that will be that. And if you complain you should have thought about that before you decided to think I'm your bitch, go talk to a therapist if you have mental problems about this. Error Reporting: - First off most small errors I won't rush to fix an upload so bringing up a small error like "Oh the sights aren't rounded, I don't like it." Isn't going to lift my skirt. Nor are "game breaking" issues like you want an updated version and bringing up bullshit issues. - I will check, and post videos, especially if its a bullshit error like "I can't use my uniform pack because of your mod" or "I have things appearing in the air and it's breaking the game". If I can't reproduce the error given your parameters then I'll feel you're full of shit, and will be treated accordingly. I don't trust most of the community as far as I can throw a ten ton vehicle as far as this issue is concerned. - If a particular mod is truly causing CTDs, then yes I'll unfuck it. - If you post bitch complaints like "I don't like how the sights are" or "The casings are ejecting to the left" then you're just that, a bitch. And I will continue to talk to you as if you are one, because on the whole I don't care as that's just weak. Get off your fat ass and make it yourself. - If you want it done faster, do it yourself and I don't work according to anybody's timetable, other than my own. As I won't honor all requests, because there isn't anything saying I have to, so if I tell you no, either once or repeatedly then it means No, which given the level of intelligence on these forums will require me to tell you to go fuck yourself. - I'll upload fixes when I feel like it, so like the above, if I feel like uploading it now, then it's my decision, not for you to effect as I don't work for anybody on these forums. So expecting me to always upload is a far gone hope that you need to get out of your head. - I'm not saying don't report errors, is that most of the time they're bullshit errors and I will not believe you the next time. I'd highly suggest reading Peter and the Wolf as you all seem to be Peters around here. Streamlined/Custom Mod Packs: - As you know my mod has a rather large variety of weapons, but it's not always good for most people (too many weapons, not the weapons you're looking for) so here's what I usually do instead or request: - First please PM me here on the forums and all I ask is a good definitive list for what you're looking for rather than not knowing what you want. - If you're part of a clan please just one person as it keeps down the level of confusion and keeps things organized both on my end and your end. And it prevents too many people wanting an off-beat gun and so on. Its your clan and a specific weaponset is always needed. - More often than not I have a fairly good idea on what I have on and don't have available. If I know I can't do it, and know of a mod that will suit your needs, I will of course recommend it in lieu of any work. It's not that I don't want to do it, but if it's already done then I see no need overall to take the time to do it. But if I do have it I can get it to you. And of course I will give you a timeline roughly when it will get done. I will upload it to your representative or if needed, and so on. - I do have TS3, and my gaming site is here: http://562ndts.enjin.com/?welcome If you are registered on the Enjin forums the messaging system will work as well. Again as long as it's one person. - As far as the weapons go I will see what I can do. I have pistols to mortars and some other stuff, but be aware I use a lot of Arma 2 source files to get the weapon to you. I do have some 3D modelling skills so i can also manipulate or create things to get what you need. Again if I can't do it then I will let you know. "I don't like this" (and it's one or a few people = Not going to motivate me, but it's duly noted "I think you should do this and only this to 'enhance' the game" (Or telling me how to run my mod) = Yeah no thanks, I'm the mod author so I'll do as I see fit to satisfy as many people as possible. "I'll berate Eric about a single thing I don't like (as in one person) because persistence pays off" = Not going to happen, you can kindly pester somebody else, and continued activity when told I don't appreciate starts to turn into abject harassment. No thanks. "Mod is CTDing my Game": I'll fix it for sure, as some of you have seen. Do me a favor and describe what mods you're running, and so on, that way I can see for myself, and 9 times out of 10 it was my fault, so I'll fix and reupload. "I don't like these sights how they look"" = Duly noted, but I really don't care about that kind of opinion. While they're not very hiqh quality models got it, overall I try and to my best to get them as accurate as possible. So if you don't like a particular style, well, either request or find another mod. A lot of you players tend to think that your opinion matters and I should jump on a request like flies on shit. Fact is that if it's brought up continuously and I keep saying No, then well, I'm not interested in doing some things, I just don't have to and don't want to. Part of the mod is some personal things as well as what players are looking for. Again I can listen to your suggestion, but given that other than various donations, I do all the work so that gives me a lot of leeway in saying Yes or No to a request. I can understand if I break your heart if I do say No, but I don't get any reimbursement for my time and effort I put into my work. If you feel the need to complain about it I'll do my best to ignore it, as the main thing people seem to not understand is that I can listen to you, but I make the final decision, not you, to include it. Just thought I'd post this given I tend to see how people act. Skin Requests: - I don' t mind doing skin requests but keep it sane and of course specify what aircraft/helicopter you need. For various aircraft it can take a few days or so (depending on the detail of the base aircraft) to create a PSD template and then I'll get it to you. - At the minimum draw a "Stick plane" of what you want. Bear in mind for default aircraft there are limitations on how the aircraft was textured, so you may not always be able to get the effect you want. I will of course let you know. Issues and how to fix them: - "Infinite Ammo": Open the Steam Interface and right click and click on Properties. Click the Local tab and Verify Game Cache. Sometimes downloads glitch and causes that problem. After that the weapons should work fine. Also check your ASDG Joint Rails, ensure that you don't have another one (usually older version) running which may cause issues as well. - Game CTDs when trying to resume saved games: I've been getting a lot of complaints when my mod is used with the Arma 3 Launcher that comes with the game. I don't use this method so I don't see any issues as of yet when I get the reports. I'm not saying it's not out there, but if your game is crashing when resuming any missions, Instead of using the Launcher I go through the game itself, i.e. Configure/Expansions and Enable or Disable as needed. Restart the game and things will or should work fine as I've resumed various saved games and haven't had any CTDs or anything related. I also don't have anything to do with the Launcher so if you have issues, contact BIS if that comes up or use the method described.

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC130 - MH60 DAPs are now in their own config, now cleaned up - Updated ammo code for the IR Jammer, error should not show - The S-70 is it's own config now, just to clean it up from the military versions - Light Hit Points added to the appropriate LOD for all the S/UH/MH helicopters Google Drive is updated

ADuke Kiowa Warrior RC9 - Can sling load up to 907kg - Can self-designate using when using ACE3 - Fixed spotlight/headlights - Added collision lights - Now uses RTD file - Disabled MFD showing thermal to possibly make Hellfires able to hit targets

Another Pilot mission, this time "Pilot MH-60M Black Hawk Clafghan (Coop 7). I figured that since my Avatar-like helos aren't that popular, you can perform the same missions with the MH-60M from my EricJ Helicopter Pack: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3395182377

A general note for the Clafghan maps, I had forgotten about CUP Terrains - Core being needed. All of the Clafghan missions are fixed now and requires it to play (because Clafghan needs it). Another Pilot mission, this time "Pilot MH-60M Black Hawk Clafghan (Coop 7). I figured that since my Avatar-like helos aren't that popular, you can perform the same missions with the MH-60M from my EricJ Helicopter Pack: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3395182377

Totally forgot about this section, I have some missions available at my user page: Mission and addons link (Steam): https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198016000690/myworkshopfiles/ Discord: https://discord.gg/afmPJCBRbh As soon as I develop more missions, I'll post here, but this is my Workshop page and highlights some missions I created, and if I do more missions, I'll post them here.

I have Lythium and still haven't tried it yet, it was a cool map when I milsimed earlier this year. Anyways I'll check out Kunduz then, thanks!

EricJ Weapons Pack RC116 - Added a Sig Sauer M17, taken from TurboSquid: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/weapons-pack-3d-2058556 It's functionally similar to the Glocks in the pack, using the same magazines since they have the same magazine capacity and the like. It cannot mount a silencer in it's current form. Maybe in the future when the barrel is longer I can "thread" the barrel to accept silencers. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=667711976&tscn=1730224266

Decided to go with an optic mount. Figured out how to disable silencers for the gun and probably have to redo some configs just to get it right, though yeah... work: http://ericjwrites.itgo.com/Arma3/wip2005.jpg Overall there's not much else to do, and I have to make some inventory images for it, but other than that pretty much it I guess.

I figured that I was stretching the Release Thread too much with my WIP stuff so I decided to create the WIP thread for my work. Right now it's just me working on a requested from Steam a SAM Container. I've got the model somewhat finalized and I'll post pics in a few.

Looking for a good sized (Like greater than 20km x 20km, for missions and the like) Kunar province map, and one that's actively worked on. I tried the other ones and while Clafghan is okay, it's small and looking for something big and spacious for helicopter ops and the like.

Despite what people think, buying from 3D sites isn't always the best thing. The previous shot was without any modification and work. I had to fill in the inside of the slide because more or less it was empty, and I don't think the model I bought from TurboSquid was designed to be animated, just for possible posing and the like. Anyway here's some more work on it, I have to fill in some more of the inner slide in order for it to look realistic when the slide is back: http://ericjwrites.itgo.com/Arma3/wip2004.jpg More or less the M17 fires the same mags as the Glock (It's generic enough to not make specific magazines for the M17 as they hold the same number of rounds), so it'll be easy to switch to this. Right now as configged it can accept accessories, but in the future it won't have a silencer and only an underbarrel mount. On the product page the weapon was shown with a red dot sight on the slide, but I don't know if I want to have accessories just yet, preferring to not worry about since the US Army doesn't have them mounted anyway (not to my knowledge anyway).

ADuke Kiowa Warrior RC8 - Retextured the pylon mounts, to look better and more metal - Fixed Hellfires exploding on the pylons - Fixed IR Jammer, removed error when using it (updated code) - Tracers are implemented, they show up every 5 rounds for aiming - Rockets should rearm when using ACE3 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3324552051

I think I can take a break from the Helicopter Pack, and at least get this in my Weapons Pack. This is from a model on TurboSquid, and as you can see, needs some more TLC than what it has right now: http://ericjwrites.itgo.com/Arma3/wip2003.jpg

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC129 - After asking around I changed the main carbine from the HK416 to the M4 from my Weapons Pack. It's a stylized M4, called an "M4A4 Custom" and otherwise functions the same as a standard M4. The TF562 units and US Army pilot/crew now use it as well, the TF562 units have camoed M4s though and it fires Full Auto. The change is for more of a "future" look and I liked how it turned out, but wanted to stay away from the MX, which realistically would have fitted the Armaverse. Apologies in advance for messing up your saved loadouts, but I wanted some kind of accuracy with how personnel are armed in the real-world units. - TF562 M4s have Mk17 Holosights instead of RCOs - US Army Pilot and Crew have BIS NVGs. I don't have any ANVIS-6s handy so I'll use them until I find a good model to use. - Thanks to MrSniff from Discord, he supplied me with some ANVIS-9s for the SOAR pilots to use. It does work with ACE3 as well for the various effects. - Taken from the Reaction Forces Cougar, HMD display shows range to the Personal Waypoint for the XX-92s when placed on the map. - The UH/MH-60/92s all have full datalink support. Google Drive download is updated.

Brought back the Pilot MH-245 missions, both MP and (SP). You'll need the Reaction Forces CDLC, and Helicopters DLC for sling load, and the EricJ Cherokee Containers mod for this mission: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3392349097 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3392360838

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC128 - Tweaked 7.62mm suppression values, should suppress enemy better - Added a PilotView system to the AH-96, although it doesn't move around yet, is fixed forward for now. - Tweaked Flight Model of the MH-92s, now flies smoother - MH-92 DAP has same sensor suite as the MH-92 (Insertion), now has functioning radar and IR system. - Reconfigured the MH-92 DAP, as some legacy config issues were causing it to show positions that weren't there. Everything remains the same, just a "new" config forit, so it operates like it should. - M134 Miniguns for the drones now rotate and show muzzleflash when viewed at longer distances - After some user feedback, the aeronautical engineers tweaked the flight models of all the MQ-17s - Added a GMV (HMG) for the TF562 units Google Drive is updated too. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Doing some tweaks to the MH-92 DAP, removing some legacy ESSS stuff, and making it look somewhat different due to better technology and so on: http://ericjwrites.itgo.com/Arma3/wip2002.jpg

ADuke Kiowa Warrior RC7 - Fixed a couple missing texture errors - Fixed some missing HUD textures https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3324552051

Managed to tweak the flight model some, should be better, here's a video showing the new handling of the MQ-17s

Well I thought I could stop working on the EricJ Helicopter Pack and was wrong. Anyway, I found through a user feedback on the UAVs (at least I understand the MQ-17s), that it "flew like a brick". Unfortunately I don't get much feedback and any feedback is much appreciated. It was an easy fix, and I think that the flight model now should be better to users of it. I fixed a minigun issue (was an easy fix, appaently didn't update a LOD and now should work fine. On the note I'm looking for somebody to UVMap and texture the Barrett M468 that has been collecting itself in the EricJ Weapons Pack for years. It's not configged (I can handle that), but it's not textured. I put a request on various Discords and so far no response. So if you're bored, need something to do I can send you the model and you help me out. It'll need some patterns for variety but overall not too complicated of a request. If I could do it I would, but I'm not that great with weapons unfortunately. If you are interested PM me either here or on Discord and we can get it rolling. Not much else planned but some fixes for the Helicopter Pack. For the Taliban Fighters there was a request for bearded units, and frankly I don't have any heads with believable beards to do this. Other than that not much else on that front either, mainly the helicopters.

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC127 - Slightly repositioned the refueling probe on the MH-92s - The outer pylons of the AH-96 pylons can mount the gun pods from Reaction Forces CDLC, as well as the outer pylons for the MH-92 DAP. Note if you do not have Reaction Forces you won't get any errors, and so on, so a dependency wasn't created. The pylons simply won't show the RF weapons if it's not purchased or enabled. - Added the other developed containers from the EricJ Cherokee Containers mod. That way people can access the containers if they don't have that mod. - Tweaked the MH-92 DAP (4-pylon) wings to differentiate it from the UH-60 version Google Drive link updated.

ADuke Kiowa Warrior RC6 - Tweaked RVMATs, has less of a shine
