FRL_Air mod WIP

Hopefully last round of Pandur fixes

yeah, so can you make he shovel work? you put one on the side but it has no function. maybe we could use it to dig latrines...

Nice HAWX-like effect, but that seriously takes away the realism of the mod. Especially in Turbofan-engined aircraft like the A-10, the flame is ridiculous since it will never be seen in real life as it has no re-heat. In short; you should get rid of any flame-like animations, except for afterburner effects.

yeah the su34 and f15 are ok, but the czech planes, su25 and A10 all have zero flames viewable in all the footage i've been watching. we'll see if we can use this in the engine fire system we're planning instead.

now this lot can get given to the new IS units

Can't wait to run into a shotgun-wielding officer :)

lol I've just opened the config up to start editing, and that's the first unit i'm gonna add

"3, target that pookie-nemesis at 12 o clock"

BLAM!BLAM!

New faction in the works:

Tyrian forces

Based on the fictional country of Tyria (much like Takistan was)

The idea is to create a full-spectrum middle-east based faction with civilians, armed militias, insurgents and modern armed forces including PMC advisers.

This is what we play with already on our server, but i'm planning to tidy it all up as one faction so we don't have lots of different factions milling about.

Thanks S@ndbob for allowing me to patch your awesome units, and thanks pook, von knudenberg franze, vilas, myke and wld427 for your amazing models!

DEMO:

more pics of armed Tyrian females

tons of progress today sorting out the statics

features

- a full weapon pack for each faction (BAF, US, USMC, RU, INS, CDF, GUE, TK, TK_INS, TK_GUE, ACR, UNO, TYR - in this order going down the lines in the pic)

- all have rangemaster ammo, zeroing and naming.

- A2 versions have packs to disassemble

- full 360 turn on weapons like spg9 and metis - no more dumb enemies

- crewdisembark eventhandlers on relevant weapons that cannot fight nearby detected enemies

weapons:

- AGS30, GMG , Mk19

- Dshk (hi and lo), NSV or Kord (hi and lo),

- Twin Dshk with searchlight

- M2 (hi and lo)

- crash's Mk48 mount

- fix the artillery system for the mortars and cannons

- add missing anims to the AGS30 and Mk19 statics?

test mission in editor shows the full range of kit:

added VIFF (vectoring in forward flight) action to harriers

here a Mig is engaging at 3 o'clock, about to pass behind the harrier and turn right onto its tail for a missile or gun kill

so I hit VIFF action and the mig turns right, but it is now passing in front of the harrier, which has decelerated rapidly to 125kts, perfect for a missile kill.

So between the typo error making the light stay on, poor armor on wheels, and all around need for improvement, I decided to spend the evening fixing the BTR-60. Yep!

- Driver hatch

- Commander hatch

- Center of mass adjusted lower, meaning it floats higher, and it doesn't tip over as easy

- Working trim vane

- Working rear propeller and doors

- FIXED "dead" vehicle light (FINALLY)

- All textures, etc. will be updated since the Taki's and others finally found a can of paint to touch up the paint job.

- New texture sets (Duala brown, CDF forest, etc).

- Sit-on-top extra cargo slots

- TO-DO: Research random clutter, determine clutter efficacy

- TO-DO: Research random spare tire mount

- TO-DO: Research real-life glass... is it armored or just plain like my car windshield?

VERSIONS! "Standard" PB model, but also researching -PA model (open turret), and MWS upgrade model w/ 2A42 cannon (yep), and various command/AT/AA models based on real life data. They even stuck a 9K35 (SA13) turret on one!http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-9K35-Strela-10.html

16 - !!!! cargo positions 8 internal, 8 external. I need only to build texture sets and she's going to be ready to roll! :)

New paint!

quality!

BTR-60 Update... not bad for 3 evenings' worth of work! :D

- Driver and Commander hatches with turn out/turn in function

- Center of mass adjusted lower, meaning it floats higher, and it doesn't tip over as easy

- Working trim vane

- Working rear propeller and doors

- FIXED "dead" vehicle light (FINALLY)

- Tire "patch kit"... you can patch the tires a few times :)

- Tire armor improved due to standard use of "run flat" tires

- Glass armor improved since it is armored "bullet proof" glass.

Latest...

- Added the antiwater parts so the WORKING hatches don't show water on the inside

- Fixed pilot view zoom settings to normal zoom

- Added driver seat adjust for window use.

- Adjusted driver/commander views to window view... periscopes now optional

- New sit on top cargo positions... 8 internal, 8 external (internal filled first, then external for the "extras")

- External cargo positions with correct view of exterior

- Updated texture sets - brown, cdf mix, jungle green, taki improved

- random numbering that is MP-synched based on same scripts as other vehicles

- climbable ladder, walkable exterior (like the Pandur's have)

- all textures, rvmats, etc. local to addon. The only external references are the optics and the penetration rvmats.

VERSIONS:

New improved version labeled "BTR-60PB" which is the correct designation. Map icon slightly enlarged.

Improved models... here is a vid showing the "modernization" packages:

2A42 model w. 30mm cannon

MWS improved turret with 23mm cannon and AGS17

PU12 antenna mast used as acquisition radar for Shilka, SA9, and SA13 batteries... another AAA and SAM site coming soon :)

outstanding!

Niiice!

Since you got that turret anyway, can you get a BTR-80 from Vilas and slap that turret on it (and a wild BTR-82A look-a-like would appear) :confused:

coming soon... Navy SAM's (and anti-missile batteries)

Weapons

- RIM162 ESSM in Mk29

- RIM7 SS in Mk29

- RIM116 RAM in Mk49

- 20mm phalanx CIWS

each has working radar, CIWS has airburst, they all have working optics and are mountable

ALSO COMPLETE

- 2 new access ladders for island weapons

- action on control station: order crews to man weapon stations

- full cleanup of groups and dead vehicles/bodies

- recovery of men from sea trigger

- boat launch option for full range of RHIB and SOC-R assault boats

I have made replacement LHD_6.p3d and LHD_house_1.p3d with old dummy turrets deleted and new working turrets added by init EH.

or you can manually place them like any static weapon - as seen below

SAM crews deployed as air threat approaches...

Research:

RIM116 RAM in a 21 round mag in a Mk49 launcher

http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-116.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIM-116_Rolling_Airframe_Missile#HAS_Mode

for use in HAS mode (SAM and anti missile)

RIM7 sea sparrow in an 8 round mag for the Mk29 launcher

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/rim-7.htm

for use as SAM

RIM162 Enhanced Sea Sparrow in 8 round mag for the Mk29 launcher

http://www.seaforces.org/wpnsys/SURFACE/RIM-162-Evolved-Sea-Sparrow-Missile.htm

for use as SAM and anti missile

CIWS 20mm Phalanx

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-in_weapon_system

TO DO:

- UAV type remote station access (inside superstructure of LHD

- add fire geometry and damage

- develop interior boat bays? for launching SOC-R boats etc... needs a volunteer

Cuba (and possibly Egypt iirc) also made a local variant with a T-55 turret, although i believe they have a habit of rolling over when shooting sideways.

Nice find on the strela variant though, i never saw that before.

ok some screenies of the forthcoming F-111F Aardvark

(havent done skin work yet)

plans also to add this to unsung mod as an E model

- desert and grey skins, 11 loadouts per faction.

- MR will have dynamic rearming

- working ARM radar hunting in SEAD role

- working cluster munitions, GPS targeted glide bombs, runway busters and retarded bombs

- working PaveTack targeting pod for WSO to dynamically fix and attack targets

- removable belly cannon for emergency CAS role, with 20mm shell drop fx

pooks runway busters working perfectly:

GPS or manual targeting

munition released on drogue chute

at 100m it fires its rocket and blasts downwards to penetrate the runway surface

creating a crater and a scattering of mixed cluster-mine units for area denial to prevent runway repair

coming soon on a Tornado and F35 near you
