Hello all, I figured I had come far enough to share the W.I.P. images and information about one of my many projects, the Curtiss P40 Warhawk/Tomahawk/Kittyhawk. I figured I should post this W.I.P. thread before someone else beats me to finishing this aircraft. This is my first armed aircraft that is at this stage of development, and is really an experiment with weapon cfgs for the Ju-87 Stuka. The model is by Helijah, who kindly gave me permission to port to Arma 3 Without further ado, the Curtiss P40 Warhawk (Ignore the muzzle flashes, that was an accident :P ) (Some more images) Currently the aircraft is in the final stages of development. I'm just touching up some things, and testing out the weapons. As well, I still need to complete the instruments in the cockpit and set up the sights. Should be released soon. Weapons as of now: -6x .50, three in each wing I plan to add fuel tanks and a bomb, just to give variety, and some practice for me. In case anyone is wondering about what liveries there currently are: -Flying tigers high definition -Flying tigers standard -Red tails -RAF -RAAF -Captured Warhawk (Japanese) -Munda -Desert -Umnak -2 Lt. George Welch's P40, Colours of the attack of Pearl Harbour -2 Lt. Ken Taylor's P40, Colours of the attack of Pearl Harbour Thanks to Helijah for letting me use his models, and thanks to [Dust]Sabre for answering my questions! Any information, or suggestions that may help with the addon, is more than welcome :)

CREDITS & COPYRIGHTS 4. LICENCE AND END USER AGREEMENT 5. BUGS & TO DO 6. CHANGELOG 1. INTRODUCTION The addon was made by NightIntruder. My main goals to achieve while working on the addon were: - to have ICAO signs for airports whenever I fly with my fellow v-pilots during our scenarios, - to have helping signs while taxiing according to ATC's direction - to have airport charts that would help having better SA at airports - to have better and more realistic immersions at airports - to encourage mission makers of colaborating communities to include ATC slot for their's MP scenarios It took me 4 days to create the addon. Initially I didn't want to release the addon but finally I thought that the addon is good enough to share it. In creation of the addon following software were used: - Autodesk 3D Studio Max 2016 (3D, models, unwrapping) - Autodesk Photoshop CS 2 (2D, textures) - Notepad ++ (writing configs) - BIS Developer Tools: Object Builder, ModelBuilder, IMGtoPAA. 2. ADDON FEATURES: - 1 model of NDB station - a bearing system courtesy of TeTeT - 6 different models of standing sign (low-poly, app. 240 polys per sign) - 3 different models (simple polys) for laying sign - 833 custom made textures that cover most of ICAO signs related to taxiways, stands, APRONs, runways - changing textures of a signs' polys based on setObjectTextureGlobal command - standing signs are backlighted during night time - a mission with pre-placed signs on four Tanoa's aerodromes and NDB stations is included - charts of Tanoa's aerodromes are included - a server key included - a manual with path to textures included 3.

Hello everyone, I am formally announcing my next work in progress project: The Cirrus SR22. The model is courtesy of Helijah. Here's a link to his hangar for Flight Gear. The Cirrus SR22 is a single-engine five-seat composite aircraft built since 2001 by Cirrus Aircraft. I've been working on this the last month and a half on the side, and I've come far enough with it that I feel it's time to share it. Here are some in-game WIP screenshots of the SR22: My current to do list is as follows: -Animate instruments -Fix the flight model -Add the Shadow LOD Possible additions, not of a high priority at the moment: -Working GPS with Altis/Stratis/Tanoa maps -Ballistic Recovery System (Emergency Parachute Recovery) (WIP!) There's a few other things I'm working on, but not significant enough to list here. This aircraft is extremely similar to the Cessna TTx (The Caeser BTT as it's known in-game), therefore I would like to use sounds and hand animations, if BI ever releases the configs for APEX vehicles. If this is the case, expect APEX to be a requirement in the future. I continue to work on this when I can, along with three other projects I have going simultaneously right now. Feed back is welcome :)

Reverse Thrust by Jack Ost What is it ? This script allows to simulate in a semi-realistic way the reverse thrust on a plane. It's possible to use pushback on any type of aircraft and to use reverse thrust in flight. Features Ground activation : Ground activation allow to simulate the pushback of the aircraft. It means that the plane back with low speed ,it's constant at 5km/h. It works for any aircraft. To turn back on , use the same button to roll left or right but in reverse order ( left-> right). The plane stops after disengaging the system. In flight activation :Use with a propeller aircraft ( registered in the module ) : Reverse thrust snaps directly, it has a role of brake for the plane and causes a very important loss of speed. This will slow down quickly to acquire a low speed or to make a short landing . To gain speed, you must disengage the system and speed up. Use with an airplane without propellers (switch mode deactivate): Reverse thrust does not engage directly, it wait, that is to say that once the landing gear touch the ground, system engage. It will slow down quickly to acquire a low speed and thus make a short landing. Skip to below 80 km / h the system deactivates itself; otherwise the system will stop when you disengage.

I am proud to announce that NightIntruder and I have began making the much needed CH-46 for arma 3. Right now, we are concentrating on the USMC version but have plans for other models of the aircraft which will be announced later. There will be two versions of the CH-46, one will be a more simple version and the other a more advanced version The simple version is planned to include: - Advanced Flight Model - ramp, doors, windows animations - working sling load and rescue hoist - dedicated crew chief and loadmaster seats - flight instruments animations + backlighting - NAV lights + landing lights + formation lights - custom sound - fast engine start + fuselage vibrations - ACE3, NIMITZ, RAV All Fuel - compatible - walkable deck + numbered seats (player can take whichever seat they wants) This version is meant for the casual player who just wants to get in and fly somewhere The Advanced Version - Advanced Flight Model based on real CH46s specifications - rotational beacon lights, cargo light and cockpit flood lighting - engines / APU management - switchable VIS / IR-compliant instrument backlighting in the cockpit - emergency lighting + windows & doors removed in case of crash - briefly floatable a/c for emergency regardless not being equipped with sponsons - custom damage system: announciator panel, FireGeo LOD, visible damage on a/c - custom enhanced sound + real time engines start + engines smoke effect + engines / APU management - fuselage vibrations dependant on specific flight phase - rain effects on windscreen and windows + animated wipers - custom crew animations: CrewChief position in port door and with working on rescue hoist, Loadmaster position on ramp, pilots animations, savior on hoist etc. - random malfunctions, extremely rare, but yet possible - damage/malfunction being increasing over time (script) ie. fuel leak, drive train damage, engine malfunction, ramp blocked etc. - NAV lights switchable from STEADY to FLASH - main rotor tips lighting - ACRE / TFAR compatible - custom environmental radio sounds The advanced version is for someone who wants a little more of a realistic experience -Both the advanced and simple version will have multiple weapon configurations Please keep in mind that we are trying to get these features on the aircraft, and if we cant, well we cant. This is a heavy WIP and nothing here is guaranteed. I will try to update this often when there is work to show, please feel free to ask questions and give feedback CURRENT TEAM NightIntruder flanders25 TeTeT (Scripting) Alex150201 (Scripting) handicap (Statistics and photos) William Cordoza (Statistics and photos) Special Thanks to: -Bohemia Interactive for M2 model Current Progress: 1/6/16 -Details are beginning to be added to model 1/15/16 -Exterior model is nearly complete, and the interior will be wrapped up in the next week or so if all goes as planned 1/16/16 -BIs default M2s have been added for waist gunners 1/17/16- Model is basically complete, BIS M240 added for ramp gunner, starting cockpit work 1/20/16- Started UV Mapping for texturing *MAY TAKE A FEW WEEKS OR EVEN LONGER* 1/25/16- UV Unwrap is complete.

While fixing and upgrading my Mig-21MF addon I decided to experiment with damage system, based on two, provided below, links: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/92016-arma-2-track-and-tire-dammages/ https://resources.bisimulations.com/wiki/Damage_Modeling:_Objects#General_properties I found that using "hitPoints" BIS system you may get visual effects on aircraft, quite similar to the one used in IL-2 Sturmovik. How it'd work, in general? An aircraft gets AAA or small arms fire while flying. The game engine calculates whether weapon that was used against it is strong enough to destroy specific part of the aircraft that had being hit. Let's assume that it is. The part of the aircraft hides and then "damaged" version of the part unhides, in the same way like it happens in case of destroyed wheels. The only difference is that the unhidden part has different texture applied with visible bullet holes (alpha channel). Obviously, it might be destroyed further as well, even the animation of hide/unhide can be applied for smaller parts of damage value. For instance, when you shot at car window, the first level of damage would be a several bullet holes visible (only damage texture applied to mesh), the second level would be a many bullet holes (a new damage texture), the third - the window is broken (so mesh changes as well), the fourth - window dissapeared or detached from the vehicle (it need however additional input to the model.cfg and config.cpp to create vehicle-like "window"). The whole system can be used for a soldier model (leg amputation, fragmentation of skull) and any vehicle class entity as well. It depends mainly on desired outcome and how large the model is, in terms of poly-count, since you have to copy and paste some parts of the mesh to the same model. Sometimes even you have to copy the part again and revers its faces as well as add some additional elements to get immersion of a depth of the bullet holes (like on elevator picture below, where two wing frames/ribs have been added to the "damaged" part mesh). This system has a big advantage over any custom script-based one though - the damage can be repaired by both vanila and ACE repair vehicles (tested), with no script behind eating your additional CPU cycles.
