Lockheed Martin's F35B Lightning II Description This mod will feature the F35B STOVL. It is currently unstable and buggy, but these issues will get resolved soon. It is about time for the ArmA 3 community to get the new F35B instead of the BI's X35. Planned features -DAS System -GBU Targeting System -Air Refueling -Service Menu by John_Spartan -Ejection System by John_Spartan -ECM Jammers by Kimi -F35 HUD by Kimi and more... NOTE -I still don't have a release date for this aircraft so please DO NOT bug me when it will be released. -I have retired from modding therefore Fullerpj will be taking lead of this project. People who have been very helpful on this project (Credits) -randomslap -Kimi -John_Spartan -Fullerpj (taking over the project) -Lala

Damn... I haven't been on this site for so long. I'm not sure if it's safe to say I'm back but my interest in modding is returning. I might reboot my F35B project thanks to Chortles informing me about the new upcoming updates on the game. I hope to be back soon to release my aircraft!

I see that you replaced my canopy with the F35C's, but I like it! Keep it up!

No, so the fuselage of the F35 is put in as a proxy. So the fuselage can't be modified. One solution that could work is just changing the textures of the rest other than the fuselage. I'm not sure how Fuller will deal with this issue.

Well I'm no longer working on this so no, but Fuller may look into that!

Yup... pretty much. I know it's a down fall but that's the only way to implement other skins for the F35.

So there's an issue with switching skins because of the high poly count on the model. I don't that switching skins will be possible on this mod unless the model is switched out to a less detailed model.

The F35A and the F35C are a little different. The F35A has an internal gun as the F35C has an external gun pod. The F35C can hold more ordinances because of the larger wingspan. There are other smaller detail like the front wheel on the F35C and etc.

Boeing F15SE Silent Eagle Current State: Info The Boeing F15SE Silent Eagle is an upgraded McDonnell Douglas F-15 with stealth features. It contains upgrades like RCS (radar-cross section) treatment, weapons bays and other fifth generation fighter technologies. Today, the F15SE Silent Eagle is still under development by Boeing, but it will be the most up to date F15. In this ArmA 3 mod, I have tried to make it as accurate as possible. I have included features like weapon bays, mounted hud on the pilot's helmet, a co-pilot seat, F110-GE-129 engine nozzels, and many more. Armament Option 1 Main gun -M61 Top and bottom weapon bay -4x AIM10C or 4x AIM-9X Option 2 Main gun -M61 Top weapon bay -2x AIM120C or 2x AIM-9X Bottom weapon bay -4x MK82 or 4x GBU-38 or 4x GBU-12 Things to do -Fully working instruments -Textures to the weapon bays -Add the service menu by John_Spartan -Many more Credits randomslap dezkit (For the model and textures) Note This mod will not be released until I have fixed most of the C17's bugs. I will do my best to fix the C17 but it may not be perfect.

Haha my bad ya it is the F35A. I got it mixed up.; Thanks for pointing that out!

The United States Air Force does not use the F35B. They use the F35C. It wouldn't make any sense if he put a Marine Corps aircraft in an Air Force pack. He did mention earlier that the F35B and the F35C will be released in their own seperate threads. Edit: The USAF uses the F35A (Accidentally said C) Thanks for pointing that out Foxone!

Don't ask for the ETA. Please read the forum rules because that is considered as spam. And yes there is a F35B coming soon https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/175699-wip-lockheed-martins-f35b-lightning-ii-stovl/ :) (Fuller is now the head lead of the F35B project)

Hey my bad for not updating everyone and you have the right reason to ask. I keep disappearing due to my status as of right now. I don't really go on my computer or play ArmA anymore because I'm busy working on my "racecar". I just lost interest in modding but I think I will let someone take over. I can ask Fuller if he is interested or someone that is experienced in modding. If anyone that is experienced in modding and interested in finishing this project PM me and I will see what I can do (I want this mod in the right hands). With my current status in life I don't think I can finish this mod. Sorry for all those that have been anticipating for the release. I will figure out a way to release the F35B but as of right now please be patient. I will try to update you guys on what's going on and what will happen with this mod.

If I make it VTOL by default, it will act like Chortles' f35 where it does not taxi. Even if the "auto-hover" is off it will start to fly vertically like a helicopter. There is really nothing I can do to change that as it is hard coded in to the game. The STOVL option is better as of right now as it allows the plane to taxi and it is more realistic.

It will be STOVL. As of right now, if I make it VTOL it is not possible to taxi and I am not a fan of that.

As of right now we are not going that far. Our current goal is to release this aircraft with the basic stuff and some DAS capabilities. The modes may or may not be implemented later (depends on how much time I have). I will release the mod in the BETA stage as there needs to be some cleaning in the mod file (mainly PSD files that I was testing) so that the mod size is not 1 GB. I also wanted to apologize to those who requested to be apart of the mod testing. I have been busy recently and I completely forgot to message you guys. Anyways, pilots hold on to your helmets as this aircraft is close to being released! :lol:

Hype plane? :)

I cannot promise you anything but yes it might be released in the next 2 months.

It is the ladder that is on the A10, F35A and C. I currently have the door ready however there are some complications with the ladder. Therefore it may not appear in the first release. I am pretty much aiming for realism at this point but I may start tweaking some things after I get feedback.

Yes the F35B will have a door and the ladder however it will not appear in the beta release. The decals are undecided but there will be different skins for different countries.

I'd say that the exterior is done. The interior model is about ~90% done but I think it's good enough. Fuller has been helping out A LOT and I am very thankful.

Fuller has added some scripts to the F35B. I am just waiting for him to finalize and send it to me. After that I am gonna use some other things from the F35A like the missile box. If I am able to do that then I will release this aircraft to you all. Once it is released I will slowly work on the DAS mode where it is possible to see through the cockpit.

Hey guys. Sorry that I haven't been informing you guys with whats going on. First of all, there hasn't been a lot of progress with the F35B. This is mainly due to the complex scripting that I had in mind but it never worked out and my project car has been keeping me away from the computer. For the past month I've tried to work on the F35B however my car has been developing problems after another (that's what I get for getting a RX7 FD and it is killing me lol). I may have Kimi or Fuller to finish this project if I don't get anywhere with it. I will inform you guys on what's going on in the upcoming months. Thanks for your guy's patience!

Beta release will have only 4 available. I will most likely work on that last, but it should be available by the final release.

Yup the F35A will benefit my development thanks to FullerPJ! :) I think I will release the beta without the DAS feature (Haven't figured out a beneficial way). The beta will include the service menu and other goodies. Obviously the beta will have some bugs but they will be taken care of with your guy's reports. I am currently busy with a project car (93 Mazda RX-7 FD) and I have been working on it more than this mod, however that will not stop this mod from being released. I hope you guys understand!
