I remember this project 🙂

Hi All, I thought as I was getting closer to release for various addons it was time to make a thread and start posting some screen shots. Firstly, I will point out the only thing I do is convert existing addons, all the hard work was always done by the original addon makers, I have simply tried where possible to convert them for Arma2. I do this basically on my own with the help of a few community members for either textures or scripting help. This is basically a hobby of mine and I do this in my spare time, all the addons mentioned have got prior permission from the original addon makers. I know a few people will not like these addons as they are in the most part based on OFP addons, people will moan the fact the models are wrong or just old etc, thats fine I'm cool with that, until arma2 quality replacement are produced I see no reason not to convert my personal favourite OFP addons. Now with that out the way.... The release schedule so far will be roughly as follows: Footmunch's F4E Footmunch's F15C/E IkaR's F14 and several others, more info to follow as they get closer to release. Footmunch's F4E Wild Weasel package weapons: 3 x mk84 bombs 2 x CBU fully working cluster bombs (script credits to Franze) 2 x Harm misslies Air to ground 4 x Sparrow Missiles Air to Air FFAR x 28 Rnds Normal maps reduced and super shader toned down to give a more matt metal finish. I'll keep updating screenshots as I go along, an early IkaR F14 shot:

Undoubtly like myself everyone has been watching what has been happening in Syria. What appeared to be a small uprising now seems to be spreading with the introduction of the supply of weapons to the rebels. Is the West and Saudi Arabia trying a defacto change of government similiar to Libya? My thoughts are the Syrian army is much more organised and professional than anything that Libya had to offer, does the West intend to have limited intervention i.e airstrikes? With Syria's good array of local air defence systems could be a good chance Syria could defend itself to some extent.

@wld427 - oh found this forum, I like these mods haha Good to see your still messing about mate, maybe I should learn this new stuff :)

Hi All. I'm having issues porting addons to arma3, I need to know the name of the 'pilot' proxy for Arma3 please. Cheers

I can get planes working and as some use scripted weapons they work as well. Can't get bombs working but aa missiles and a2g missiles work fine. righy Still struggling with pilot positions. Just can't nail the proxies. Its a challenge but then that's fun right? As soon as I have something concrete I'll post here.

Than guys for some reason I can't access the bis forums from home. I've started some conversions so this helps a lot

Correct I see no jet inheritance at the moment. But I need the 'pilot' proxy to convert Helo's, it's starting point. Must say Arma3 has renewed my interest again :)

Thanks.

They 'might' not include jets - but we can. :)

done, my poor old Arma II system looking dated now lol :) (Minds the intel quad core 2.4)

I managed to get most the Arma2 addons I did in TOH and the Kiowa, just the flight model was normal Arma2 if that makes sense. If Arma III is the same addon transfer should be easy at first and probably harder later when you try and make them TOH flight model compatible. Anyway will know for sure Tuesday at some point :)

Give me 24hrs from release and the Kiowa will be up, can't guarantee weapons but it will be in game - this all depends on flight model implementation etc.

For fixed winged aircraft in arma III - go to your favourite addon download website or tools - select your jet from Arma II - place addon in folder for addons for Arma III - start the game and hope it works. If not give it a day or two for new crew names to be found out and you'll see jet before Thursday - Promise :)

In the editor these aircraft can be found under F-15E (CBU) Bombcam and F-15E (GBU) Bombcam F15 still uses the original OFP weapon scrips, I'll move this to the Arma2 proxies in time. The AIM-120 feature a proxy warhead to better overcome aircraft counter measures. Have Fun Southy Download beta V1.0 here: http://www.filefront.com/16079673/F15%20Beta%20V1.0.rar . . . .

Clearly what they showed was a mock up only, I'd go with an RC Jet as the flying one as well. I dunno make a few hundred of these attach a couple of anti ship missles and they could easily swarm Naval targets. I can't help but like the design :)

Confirmed reports - well as good as you can get I guess: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-21269766 Does this give Syria a chance to blame someone else? would they launch attacks on Israel? Also what about the Iranian/Syria self defence pact? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/feb/17/usa.syria And just a few days ago Iran said... Any attack on Syria would deemed to be an attack on Iran. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5h66YvZXJaPsAqCThT5q9LNC_00jQ?docId=1174c64fbdbc4b648dc1069df8a07ca4

Maybe it's old age or my time away from the UK, but you do realise in time that all media outlets have messages to tell, the BBC have been very one sided throughout this conflict. Not saying too much but, since a few of the Air bases were overrun suddenly we started seeing cluster bombs all over the news? I try to got my news from several news sites and read between the lines, without direct access it's insane to trust one source or sources from one country.

ADDON : Kiowa Warrior made BIS for OFP and converted by Southy Version : Arma2 Beta v1.0 Release Date : 17/07/2009 This is a beta release, you will find bugs the object of this release is to find as many as possible and get them fixed, I'll probably release one more beta before relasing a signed version. ====================== REQUIRED ADDONS: ====================== None, ====================== DESCRIPTION : ====================== Conversion the the standard BIS Kiowa Warrior from Flashpoint to Arma and now to Arma2 OH-58 Kiowa is a family of single-engine, single-rotor, military helicopters used for observation, utility, and direct fire support. Bell Helicopter originally manufactured the OH-58 for the United States Army, based on the 206A JetRanger helicopter. The Kiowa has been in continuous use by the U.S. Army since 1969. The latest model, the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, is primarily operated in an armed reconnaissance role in support of ground troops. ============================== CONTENT/FEATURES/CHANGES/BUGS : ============================== Fully functioning cockpit with dials etc. All versions will have the Mast Mounted Sight, operated by the gunner, primary use is for laser designation/spotting. Zoom is approx 1.5 longer than cobra. Weapon loadouts: 2 x Hellfire, 1 x XM296 .50 Cal. (12.7-mm) machine gun 2 x hellfire, 7 rnds FFAR 7 rnds FFAR, 1 x XM296 .50 Cal. (12.7-mm) machine gun 7 rnds FFAr, 7 rnds FFAR 2 x Hellfire, 2 x Stinger Bonus 2 x Aussie camo versions 2 x Hellfire, 1 x XM296 .50 Cal. (12.7-mm) machine gun 1 version unarmed Special notes: hellfires can laser lock so two Kiowa's working in pink teams can fire Hellfires at fixed targets like buidlings etc. The first version, 2 x hellfire, 1 x M296 can self lock laser hellfires, first select the laser and ping the target, second use guns to lock target, second select hellfire and fire away, this is the only version that can self lock the hellfires. I'm looking to change the gunner optics view to something like the UAV's a much better FLIR than the Cobra's I'm using, thats for the next release. ============================== CHANGELOG/BUGS/KNOWN ISSUES: ============================== Version Beta v1.0 - 17/07/2009 First release. Known issues: The Eyball isn't the correct shape. The Stinger version, fires the missiles from the hellfire side. When in the turret view the gunner can use the cannon like the Cobra except it can fire in 360 degrees (AI gunners will also use the 50.cal gun like a normal turret weapon) ====================== CLASSNAMES : ====================== Base class: Kiowa - FFAR/Hellfires OH58b - Hellfire/50.Cal OH58c - FFAR/50. Cal OH58d - FFAR OH58e - Hellfires/Stingers OH58f - Hellfire/50.Cal (aussie camo) OH58g - no weapons (aussie camo) - Aussie Camo Textures thanx to MitchArma Found under Bluefor > Air > US ARMY ====================== INSTALLATION : ====================== The PBO and Sign files in the archive need to be extracted into your ArmA/Addons folder.

In the next few days it really looks like open conflict will take place again in Gaza. http://rt.com/news/first-israel-gaza-idf-706/ . http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-20336811 What should we do? is it up to us to do anything?

woohoo for $40 get your name in game :)

Ok here we have another Chinese stealth fighter: (not to be confused with the J-20 Stealth Fighter we saw last year) http://www.news.com.au/world/new-j-31-fighter-gives-china-a-fighting-chance/story-fndir2ev-1226509942525 .

Rebel forces killing and forcing Syrian christians to leave homes in Homs, these are foriegn rebels/terrorists Saudi/Iraq and elsewhere whatever you decide. http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9749000/9749608.stm Also taken from an RT.com interview with Mr Putin: link here http://rt.com/news/vladimir-putin-exclusive-interview-481/ Say what you weill, he actually mentions the madness of enlisting Al Qaeda in the Syrian conflict, I'd like to see a Western leader stand up and say 100% our assistance is not going to these guys.

Great to see this mod still cooking stuff. Will see you for Arma3 Wld :)
