    EricJ Release thread

    I haven't touched that part. start with allowing 360 traverse and up to 85 elevation (regardless of irl limits), perhaps.

    EricJ Release thread

    Likely the center of mass is not over the plate (change this), and it doesn't move with the traverse (can't? change this), so when the wheels rotate out from under the center of mass, it tips over. I had to deal with this from helping with project RACS arty pieces.

    Zeus Enhanced

    Make sure your Zeus module has all addons allowed, and your ZEN Faction Filter settings are not hiding what you're looking for. If it's not those, please provide more detail as to what you're expecting to see and what you're actually seeing.

  13. Steam Workshop GitHub Get in the right positions to take the right shots. Lean Out Lean over a window or ledge to shoot along or down the wall! When your weapon is deployed on a surface, press Infantry > Adjust Stance Up (Ctrl + W) to go into leaning mode. Use View > Raise/Lower Turret (E/Q) to adjust the lean angle. Be sure to decrease the lean angle before exiting! At maximum lean angle, exiting or being killed will result in you falling over the ledge! Works for Zeus-remote-controlled units, so mission makers can setup AI in defensive positions.

    Battle Buddy AI

    Steam Workshop AI squadmates that better help you fight. Magazine Passing When you load the last magazine of any particular type, or when you try to reload with no compatible magazines remaining, nearby AI squadmates who have a compatible magazine will pass it to you. If you are in an FFV vehicle seat, AI squadmates in the same vehicle will be able to pass you a magazine. Use settings to configure how far they can do so, and how you want to be notified. Works in Singleplayer and MP. If you are in a group local to the server, or is led by another player who does not have this mod loaded, the AI in that group will not pass magazines to you. Salvo Fire AI squadmates fire a devastating salvo on your lead. Currently only grenades (UGL and launcher soon to come). 1. Select squadmates (currently only by [`] or F1..F10) 2. Switch to the weapon 3. Squadmates report "Ready to fire" 4. Fire! Steam Workshop

  16. Custom load rigging and attaching of helicopter sling loads. Features Set lifting points for objects not configured for sling loading Lift vehicle wrecks Use Forward and Aft cargo hooks on Huron, Mohawk, and RHS and CUP Chinook and Super Stallion, Global Mobilization CH-53G, TFC RCAF CH-147F, Unsung Redux -46 -47 -53, Mi-6 Hook and more Sling load with VTOLs: Blackfish, Xi'an, CUP MV-22, DEGA V-22, FVL V-85 Attach multiple cargo objects to a single cargo hook Use multiple cargo hooks to secure a Dual-point load Adjust length of cargo sling legs Experience more reliable MP sling loading thanks to localizing cargo to helicopter Please comment with other helis/vtols that need to be made compatible. Steam Workshop Requires ACE GitHub Basic Usage Get a Cargo Sling item from the nearest helicopter or the Arsenal. Go up to a cargo object and use the ACE actions under Rig for Sling Load to prepare the load. Once the sling is rigged up, you will be holding the Apex Fitting (the part that goes in the cargo hook). If you drop it, you can pick it up again. Holding the apex fitting, get it near a cargo hook, and use Attach Cargo to hook on. In the helicopter, crew may use ACE action or CBA keybind to Release Cargo. Advanced Usage After the cargo is rigged up to either a cargo sling or a helicopter, use Adjust Rigging to adjust the length of the sling legs, either all together, or singly. If you hold the Apex Fitting and try to move further from the cargo than the ropes allow, you will drop the Apex Fitting. When hooking up a single cargo to multiple cargo hooks, the slings after the first one won't appear connected to the cargo! Don't worry, they will connect to the helicopter once you Attach Cargo. Enable rigging on almost anything! _cargo setVariable ["slr_slingload_isRiggingEnabled", true, true]; Script custom sling points on your cargo. _cargo setVariable ["slr_slingload_liftPoints", [[x1,y1,z1], [x2,y2,z2]...], true];

    Server Spotlight

    @Diaverso Carrasco I haven't looked into left and right panels myself, so unable to give advice on that. FYI for server join, this mod's method is obsolete. Use this instead: action = "connectToServer ['127.0.0.1', 2302, '']";

  24. Ride Where You Look Pick your desired vehicle seat by looking, when: getting into a vehicle switching seats inside a vehicle hopping from one vehicle to another in Zeus telling an AI which seat to take ACE dragging/carrying/escorting (ACE not required) Steam Workshop GitHub Usage In CBA Keybinds > Ride Where You Look, set up the keys [Show Seats] (L Ctrl) and [Select Seat] (Ctrl + X).
