CyclonicTuna

I know I know, I wasn't rushing. And I know you guys already do a great deal of collaboration, that's why I posted that comment. I'm sorry, I don't mean to rush anything or to force anything upon you its just that when I see great mods like the F-18X and F-37 released pretty much simultaneously, I get a bit overexcited sometimes :)

Well, I'm just pointing it out, the last thing I want is to force my opinion on someone esle. I just feel that if we give the great minds of both these mods some time together they could come up with something amazing don't you think? But compatibility would already be a great step, and a service menu for the F-37 would be awesome as well right? :) Also, the F-37 has this awesome HMD vizor that would suit the F-18X very well in my opinion. I play with Track IR and having that and an HMD adds great new function, and it just looks very cool :P

Hey guys, you know I like to promote coorperation between modders in the Arma community. You might already have seen this guy on the Make Arma Not War website, but he has made an absolutely outstanding F-35 replica, its on the same level as your F-18X (which is also marvellous btw). But in my opnion its still missing some things that could make it perfect, the service menu for instance and the awesome afterburner effects. You could maybe help him out with that and in return he could perhaps help you guys along with the HUD and the cockpit which he has nailed. Not that yours are bad in any way, just, I don't know I think it would be cool to see you guys work together. He also implemented a pretty neat animation for getting in and out of the aircraft, and a very cool HMD simulation. And it would be an awesome sight to see the Black Wasp and the F-37 Thunder (as it is named) working together on the USS Freedom. Here's a link to the steam workshop page: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=330990595 So yeah, just throwing it out there as an idea, even if its something you guys put on the backburner. Good luck!

Great! Love it! Time to bring some old skool firepower to the 21 century Armaverse :P

I've been on the forums for over 4 years now. But I've actually only just uploaded an avatar, lol :p. I've seen some curious usernames and avatars in my day, and I always wonder what the story is behind them. So that's why I thought I'd make this thread. See this as an oppertunity to tell your story, and maybe introduce yourself if you havn't already. The story behind my username and avatar isn't actually that exciting but it is kind of funny. When I was about 13 my parents allowed me to buy and Xbox 360. Back then, I didn't have a PC and the Xbox was sort of my first step into hardcore gaming. I had owned a Nintendo Gamecube before that. Me being a little 13 year old snot, just wanted to play games immediately, so during the first boot-up I didn't really pay much attention and wanted to get thrue the account creation process as quickly as possible, thereby skipping the part where you had to create a username. Now, when you skip this step Microsoft gives you a nickname generated out of a couple of thousand random words, mine being obviously, CyclonicTuna. Now, you should know that I'm extremely lazy about these sort of things. It doesn't really bug me, untill it bugs me, if that makes any sense. So I didn't really ever change it after that, and really only started noticing the name when playing online. People just started to call me CyclonicTuna, my friends started calling me CyclonicTuna. So, I just sort of stuck with it, and eversince whenever I create an account of somesorts, I often use my Microsoft randomly generated name. I don't really mind, I think its a pretty unique and quircky name. Now my avatar is the main character from Ace Combat Assault horizon. The game wasn't to great, but I just really like that picture. I think it expresses the fact that I'm really into jets and earospace technology. I also really enjoy flying in Arma and flightsim games.

Opticalsnare has posted some WIP video's if you're curious as to what he is up to: https://www.youtube.com/user/OpticalSnare/videos The new mod is titled "Blastcore Phoenix".

Hi and welcome to the Bohemia Interactive forums! Your report is undoubtedly appreciated but these problems have been broached by Opticalsnare some time ago. He is actually redesigning and rebuilding the entire framework for the mod. That's why it may take some time before these issues are adressed.

i just wanna see a Navy ship wit a Railgun! I mean, by the 2030's technology should have improved enough for it to be viable weapon. Besides, two nuclear reactors (or fusion reactors who knows what we'll be using by 2035) should be enough to power such a weapon.

That's a shame, luckely there's no reason to hurry :)

Just for shits'n giggles may I make some suggestions? - USS Andromeda - USS Clarity - USS North - USS Travis - USS Yellowstone - USS Ulysses - USS Saturn - USS Meteora - USS Endria - USS Boston - USS Vendetta - USS Prime - USS Gipsy Danger (Because why the hell not :p) Those are some I could come up with off the top of my head. Might post some more later if you guys appreciate it.

Yeah I heard that's a good one, might check it out myself.

Of that I'm pretty sure he's not playing.

What are you playing if you don't mind me asking?

One awesome story bro! You lived in 7 country's? Damn.

The vanilla clouds are pretty broken. The shader doesn't match up with the camera movement 9 times out of 10. And they have this really strange thing that they start clipping thrue themselves some times.

That's an SDB modelled to perfection if I ever saw one :p Question, are the wings of the SDB animated aswell? Like a deployment animation? Would be really cool. Keep it up guys. So pumped for this one :D!!

Slow and steady wins the race :)

Coming together nicely guys!! Great work :D

Sure! Just not right now ;)

Check the USAF mod by Fullerpj.

Nice work Randomslap, you sneaky bastard ;)

I don't think anyone would take it harsh if you would abandon that project. After all Phoenix is visual FX mod, not a a visual ENVIROMENT mod. But its up to you, personally I'd say focus on the FX, that's what you know and what you are good at. It be a shame if the FX had to suffer under other plans. Maybe just put the clouds on the backburner for another release sometime in the future perhaps.

What he said.

Trajectories of munitions aren't really what this mod is meant for I believe. That's doesn't necessarily have to do anything with visual FX.
