I figured it was something easy. Thanks for the help forteh!!

Hi Guys Quick question. I am using a Thrustmaster T1600M in ARMA III. I would like to be able to "reverse" the throttle slider for helicopters, so I am "pulling back" to increase collective. If possible, I'd like to keep it normal for Jets...ie: "push forward" to increase thrust. Is this possible and if so, how? Thanks

Hi Guys Please excuse the "noob" question here but I have searched the forums and haven't exactly found what I'm looking for yet. Here's my question: I would like to be able to "limit the top speed" of several different aircraft in a mission MOD I'm building, to make it more realistic and balance game play. Is this possible? If so, please let me know how and or what utilities or tools I may need to do this. Thanks for the help in advance Stang out

Hey TRex Where did you find the i0n0s plugin at Can't seem to find a download link anywhere Stang

Here are the classes for the remaining aircraft (MH6 & OH58) // Generated by unRap v1.06 by Kegetys class CfgPatches { class CYBP_LittleBirdsConfig { units[] = {CYBP_AH6_US, CYBP_AH6_RACS, CYBP_AH6_NAPA, CYBP_AH6_CHDKZ, CYBP_MH6_US, CYBP_MH6_RACS, CYBP_MH6_NAPA, CYBP_MH6_CHDKZ}; weapons[] = {LBM134, LBFFAR}; requiredVersion = 1.0; requiredAddons[] = {"CAAir", "CAWeapons", "CYBP_LittleBirds"}; }; }; // Generated by unRap v1.06 by Kegetys class CfgVehicles { class Helicopter; // External class reference class OH58_Heli : Helicopter { class NewTurret; // External class reference irScanRangeMin = 500; irScanRangeMax = 8000; class ViewPilot; // External class reference class AnimationSources; // External class reference };

WhooHoo Finlay making real progress Thanks Everyone!! :bounce3:

Waaaait I just tried the second pbo ([APS]Gnat's version) and it WORKED!! His version includes the following aircraft A10 F35 Su25 Av8b Su34 Su39 C130J I think I should take his advice and leave the landing speed alone so as to not freak out the AI. how do I add the following aircraft to his version F 16 400 (?Mykes) MH60 170 Mi17 135 CH53 150 UH1Y 125 AH64 150 AH1Z 150 Ka52 150 Mi24 200 OH58 125 MH6 175 I am "ASSUMING" I can add the rest of the other aircraft & their maxSpeed = line remove the landingSpeed = line from all of them and have everything I want running in a single pbo.....? Right?

Could it be the way I'm running it? I have "ALL" of the community addons I've downloaded in one folder like Myke's F16 for example. I did put key files in the Key folder My Arma 2 folder is this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\Addons My shortcut to launch the game is this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 33900 -nosplash -mod=addons All of the added on things like Myke's F16, OH58, CH53, MH6, @VopSound_2.1, @proper, @LittleBirds, @At_gui, Ka50 and CH47 are in that one folder, They show up fine in the editor and seem to work just fine as well. Should I have my addons setup differently? Thanks

I think I'm doing something wrong. I got the new "adjPlanes.pbo" file from you (Thank you) I put it in my addons folder in Arma2 I have this as a shortcut target to run Arma 2 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 33900 -nosplash -mod=addons I start in Single Player, go into the editor in Chernarus. Create a player, then an empty A10 which I can fly no problem however...there is no change whatsoever to the flight model of the A10. In straight and level flight it goes right past 600 easily. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Hey TRex In the sample file you emailed me it had a file (ajdPlanes.pbo) and Folder (adjPlanes) with 1 file in it (config1202.cpp). I know there are several ways to add / run MOD's. How should I install this to run it? I know the pbo goes in my addons folder but where does the folder go and what other parameters do I need to add to the launch shortcut to run it correctly? Thanks

Single Player Sure, all the time why???

I did find out that "cpbo" does not work in Vista 64 bit. I even tried the XP compatibility mode and still no luck. Is these another tool for creating pbo's that works in Vista 64? I did find and use successfully "PboView" that runs in Vista 64 just fine and allows me to view and extract pbo's...just not compile them again. :confused: Then the speed issue may be solved. If its has a +- 100, then we're finsihed with that part...YEAH :) I am using the "other ways" you've mentioned with the following to slow things down a bit. Limited Air Assets (aircraft). Limit Speed. Limited Fuel. Limited Weapons. Limited Intel. Increased Air Defense Assets. Increased Enemy Air CAP / CAS. Increased Patrols and Convoys in and between AO's. Increased Specific Goals that require items accomplished in certain orders to progress/win. Also made it very easy to loose, if you avoid certain instructions or do not protect certain assets. When I get it done I think you Guys will like it, if you like small force realistic operations, with ground controlled dependent air cover, in a hard enviroment that requires strategy, team work and players focused on accomplishing goals. Should be great fun

I'll check it out this afternoon...Thanks Guys Also, TRex, when you were able to get the A10 past 400...was it like 480 in a dive or just in straight and level flight, did it zoom right past 400? I don't mind a little variance say +- 100 in a steep dive, as I'm just trying to "slow down" the air element of the mission, to more realistic speeds, thus making it more critical how you use Air Support in the mission. Right now you can zoom across Chernarus in a F-35 in about 30 seconds. In the MOD I'm making, you'll have to provide Air Cover & Support, from the Carrier that's located about as far out to sea as the map allows. This makes it a 4 minute journey to get from the Carrier to the main base at 350 and over 9 minutes in a slow helo. The additional time compounds the danger, critical issues and resupply/support side of things, during insertion, a fire fight and extraction and makes things "more" realistic. Thanks again Guys for all the help If this does not work, I'll shoot an email to Marek Španěl at BI and ask him. Its been a while since we chatted about Fighter Ops so I need to bring him up to speed anyway. If he doesn't know, I'm sure he can find out.

Thanks Myke Question for you. Can you land the F16 on a Carrier? I know its not realistic...but I am curious. Thanks

See the notes below is RED ---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ---------- [/color][/color]I was using Mykes available HERE but where can I find the other one as I'd like to test it too...unless they are one in the same?

TRex You type faster than Britney Spears looses her panties at a party :eek: Thanks for the help again. I'd be super happy to have you pob-it and send it my way. I DL most of the items but have not tried them yet. Will do this evening

OK Guys This is really stretching it for me. Could I do everything I want with 1 Single "Ultra Simple" pbo...example below Here are the Aircraft and values I want to set: (I know these are not "actual realistic" but they're closer to realistic and will give me a basis to start balancing game play) [b]Aircraft maxSpeed landingSpeed[/b] F35 500 150 Su34 400 150 F16 400 150 A10 350 125 AV8b 350 125 Su25 350 125 C130 300 150 MH60 170 Mi17 135 CH53 150 UH1Y 125 AH64 150 AH1Z 150 Ka52 150 Mi24 200 OH58 125 MH6 175 Could I use this "1 Single File" as a Config.pbo to overwrite the originals? class CfgPatches { class STG_A10Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class A10: Plane { maxSpeed = 400; landingSpeed = 125 }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_F35Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class F35: Plane { maxSpeed = 500; landingSpeed = 150 }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_Su34Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class Su34: Plane { maxSpeed = 400; landingSpeed = 150 }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_F16Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class F16: Plane { maxSpeed = 400; landingSpeed = 150 }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_A10Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class A10: Plane { maxSpeed = 400; landingSpeed = 125 }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_AV8bAdjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class AV8b: Plane { maxSpeed = 400; landingSpeed = 125 }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_Su25Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class Su25: Plane { maxSpeed = 350; landingSpeed = 125 }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_C130Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class C130: Plane { maxSpeed = 300; landingSpeed = 150 }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_MH60Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class MH60: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 170; }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_Mi17Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class Mi17: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 135; }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_CH53Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class CH53: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 150; }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_UH1YAdjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class UH1Y: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 125; }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_AH54Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class AH64: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 150; }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_AH1ZAdjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class AH1Z: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 150; }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_Ka52Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class Ka52: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 150; }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_Mi24Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class Mi24: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 200; }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_OH58Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class OH58: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 125; }; }; class CfgPatches { class STG_MH6Adjust { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.00; requiredAddons[] = {"CAA10"}; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class Plane; class MH6: Helicopter { maxSpeed = 175; }; }; Thanks Again for all the help Guys

Guys Thanks for ALL the help...this is exactly what I need to make my MOD work the way I want it too. Ultimately, I want a user to log on to our server, if they do not have the MOD running, it will download it to them before the game starts and then they can play. This MOD will include other things in additional to "slowing down the aircraft" to more realistic speeds. I "think" I am squared away on the other items (for now anyway) on that end. If I get stuck I'll let you know. I sincerely appreciate everyone's help and professionalism with this project. BTW...Myke, if you're still are looking for a coder for your F-16 project, please let me know, as I have several good (coding) friends from Fighter Ops that may be willing to help you out. Thanks Again Guys

Check your inbox and tell Gorny he'd better go and hide :D

Holy Hell Batman...its gets more complicated??? :eek: I think I'm going back to Duke Nukem where things were simple. I can make a simple MOD and release it as Duke Nukem Forever and no one will know the difference. :D Stang out

Guys....THANKS A MILLION for ALL the Help I really appreciate it. When I get the MOD done, I'll be happy to share it with you if you'd like to give it go. Thanks again ---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ---------- Finaly... I got the config.bin file open from the A10 in my working folder (Thanks for the help Guys) unBuildArmA.exe un-binarized the config.bin into a config.cpp file, which I was able to edit with notepad. Whoohoo! :) Below is the section that "appears" to define what I'm looking for From A10 Config.cpp file }; HeadAimDown = 3; armor = 75; damageResistance = 0.00485; armorStructured = 1; maxSpeed = 720; landingAoa = "rad 10"; landingSpeed = 220; flapsFrictionCoef = 0.3; aileronSensitivity = 1; elevatorSensitivity = 0.8; envelope[] = {0.0, 0.1, 0.65, 2.2, 3.7, 5.3, 6.0, 5.5, 5.6, 4.8, 3.6, 1.8, 0}; gearUpTime = 4.5; gearDownTime = 3; The Big question is...Can I just modify the line maxSpeed=720 to maxSpeed=400 and Waaalah, I'm done??? By the way, how do I "re-binarize" the config.cpp file back into a config.bin file??? Thanks again for all the help Stang out ....making progress finaly...Yeah!

Thanks TRex, I am still a bit confused though... Oh and I deserve the kick in the pants :D however, I'm not trying to make this a real flight sim. All I want to do is limit the max speed an aircraft can go to slow down the game play. I just want to set it by aircraft so that each one is unique. For example F16 - 400 A-10 - 350 F-35 - 400 OH-58 125 etc etc I am still not finding the config file? (config."WHAT") Here is where I am looking I have a "Working Folder" set up (not the one the game runs from...just a copy on a separate drive) D:\Arma2 Working Folder\Arma2\Addons (This is just a copy of my Arma2 folder) In that folder are just .pbo, & .bisign files like "A10.pbo" When I extract A10.pbo, there is 1 folder "Data" and 5 files The 5 files are A10.p3d A10Wreck.p3d AGM65.p3d AGM65_fly.p3d Config.bin If I open the Config.bin file with the Notepad, I get a bunch of hex junk and mixed code. Nothing that looks like what you posted. What am I doing wrong? Where are the other aircraft.pbo files? Are all of them in the "Addons" Folder? Sorry for all the stupid questions but I really need a step 1, step 2...directions here as I'm not getting it or something is missing or I'm using the wrong tools, or the moon is out of phase....Gheeez :mad: Thanks for all the help though. I know I can't be the first to ask about this and I'm not finding anything on this in the forms.

OMG not TRex...??? Yup...one and the same here. Long time no see/hear/read :D This issue is driving me nuts as I know it "can" be done but the "how" is very elusive. In the MOD I'm working on there will be a limited set of aircraft, (a few jets and helos). I want to limit the max speed to balance the game play (as Chernarus is too small for jets unless you want a fraq-fest). Also per the mission (supporting 2 Navy SEAL Teams), air support is critical and impacts the mission as a whole in several ways. Where are the config file(s) located that control aircraft speed? I have unpacked the air.pbo and didn't find any config files in it...just a bunch of .psd's and .bin file file. Are they somewhere else? Something has got to be controlling the flight model aspects of different aircraft....I just don't know what and I'm lost here...:( BTW...how the heck have you been and what's up with Frugals? Is it down for good? Thanks Stang out

bump please

Actually I want to set up my MOD so that when someone for example gets in a F-16, it will have a max speed of 400. This will be for Human controlled aircraft. I need to adjust the max speed to balance the game play and make it more realistic Thanks and I open to any suggestions Stang out
