Some AT-99 Scorpion (from Avatar) influence, moved the front of the skids towards the center. Right now I've settled on the aircraft being called the "AH-96 Coyote", the nomenclature is set, but the name could change, but I like Coyote as well (unless somebody has a better name): As well as weapons testing. Other than the turret not moving everything works so far. I do have a WIP video I recorded late last night (the HMD is fixed BTW) and will get that up tomorrow as it's getting late: More or less since this is not being a pain in the ass yet I'll save this for RC24, after some necessary texture tweaking (BIS's colors just are totally off) and some variants (going to try and do a British one, with Metric units for the HMD). Given the port nature though some beautification will be really necessary.

Due to the extenuating circumstances and at least this aircraft can fly and do basic recon work (MMS works perfectly) I figured that at least an Alpha can be released, much as I personally dislike alphas. It should be noted that this is ADuke's (ADuke823 on the BI Forums) original work, and he farmed it to me to get it released into the public hands. Note it is uploaded "As is" for now. KNOWN ISSUES: - Cockpit isn't textured - Aircraft has a basic texture - Over time it will get some TLC depending on some external reasons, and when those clear up I will of course post updates as I go along. - No AFM support as of yet, when able will implement it. Otherwise enjoy it :)

Early flight test (flies pretty decent): Added a requested V-Tail: And updated the FLIR sensor ball a bit: As for the Kiowa, got a PM from eggbeast who said that Sig [uSMC] is going through some RL stuff so effectively until otherwise told the Kiowa is on hold.

Took Wansec_6's suggestion while waiting for an orgmate to show up for a gaming session: If you ask me it looks pretty righteous and just plain sick looking at least in Buldozer... Still not a bad idea. More than likely you'll see this in RC25 as once I figure out the repair functions for RC24 I'll upload and work on this some more.

Some more helo work: I managed to reskin the Huron and make it into an "MH-67" that will pretty much just a cool looking CH-67. Nothing more than a HUD, and some SOAR specific gear loaded into it, and no IR suppression system either given the size of the helo. Also did a MEV UH-92: Otherwise it's pretty much like the UH-60 version.

People use the Ghost Hawk xml and if it still does not work I'll upload with the GhostHawk version to get things rolling so to speak. - MH-80 now has a pilot HUD and programmable countermeasures system. - Civilian S-94s all have white wheels - Removed the "no entry.config.bin/Burst" message when placing the Raven PMC version via Zeus. - Fixed the various -60 models, no more floating dials when flying (Exception being the -60L, needs some more TLC) For the Future: Gun Pack - Been trying to kill a "no entry config.bin\Muzzleflash issue. - More versions of the Titan-D, mainly camo versions with the new Apex DLC. - I have tried to implement a "G28" based on the BIS SPAR-17, but so far no luck for some reason. When I get more results I'll post more info. UH-60 - ACE3 repair menu implementation. Since I don't use the mod I need to take some time and work the coding so if you have ACE3 you can repair my helos, etc. - Other things such as an ESSS UH-92 - Any other things. Kiowas: - Haven't forgotten, as it seems like my investigation into my supposed nefarious life will hopefully go away. - Once I get the heads up from Shockley and able to make a small mod, get out at least the basic unarmed scout version. Armed versions later on.

A couple things: - Given I've been more focused on dodging bullshit accusations of being a super spy, some people on Steam have complained about the visible laser that has shown up. I don't know how I managed to automagically implement that into my gun pack. I can only assume that it was added to either CBA or a game update/bug. I have looked at that as another gimmick to add to my pack. I have looked at the topic and seen that it can be done, and did not implement it and "forgot to mention it". Sometimes I do have alibis but I know for a fact that I did not incorporate it into the mod, or any mods of mine. Again that was months ago and just didn't get around to implementing it. So why people are coming to me complaining about it I don't know, but I had no desire to implement it given that it wasn't in my opinion mature enough to implement. - Still having issues with Addon Builder, so what you have is what you get until I can reliably pack a PBO and doesn't crash the game automatically when I select a weapon, etc. So right now until that works to my satisfaction there will be no work on the mod. I also checked the paths to the weapons with issues and nothing stands out that I messed up anything. So when I can get that working again I'll get it out ASAP.

Status update: Still haven't figured out what is up with the sounds. Other than being accused of being a vicious criminal underworld kingpin, I packed it and getting some weird errors with the p3ds and Addon Builder. So when I figure out what is wrong with the soundset (looks all correct) issue I can get a version uploaded at least for the gun pack. I've started to slide away from binge playing The Division and getting back into the mix, slowly but surely.

You lost me, no not really, just depending on if you're on a dev team or not. You just won't see the specific forums that's all.

Oookay... Yes I've been dealing with Karen again. Apparently it's not so much about stalking but about Revenge. She's been on the trail for about 20 or so years after I supposedly killed her brother, or some such thing. So she's not riding my ass to "be in love with me" but to seriously murder me. Yeah, I was nine or 14 years old so somehow I managed to escape the notice of my parents and have a trip to Syria (where supposedly her brother died, or something like that). So I'm not sure how I got mixed up in this crazy, weird, and bizarre mixup and one reason I've been silent. Again I really try and keep my personal life away from my "business" side but I haven't forgotten about things, just that is of course a serious matter, so if somebody in the real SEAL or knows some SEALs would you mind PMing me on a search for her lost brother? She apparently believes I am "him" and "hiding in plain sight". Um, no, I have never done any special forces training, nor have I been to assigned to any special forces units, and that's just a fact. Once this BS gets settled I'll get back to it, but enjoying The Division a bit but once I can put this rather bizarre mixup to rest I'll be back on it, shortly I hope.

Lightening it up a bit:

My advice, never piss off a Scorpio... just sayin' Anyway. working on some more skins for the AH-99, digital pattern courtesy of SkateZilla:

Current progress of the USMC version. I'll see if I can get MARINES to work but I'm not having much hope, the WTF method leaves little to hope for:

Mapping for this helicopter can be best described as "WTF" in all honesty, but it's coming along:

Adjusted Black version: And US Army version:

Meh.... been burning daylight with The Division. I personally don't go for third-person shooters but this one is quite addictive I'll admit. Anyway a Black AH-99 (going to subdue the stickers quite a bit): I plan on doing a couple more, a more realistic color for the Blackfoot, a US Army basic scheme as well as a USMC version as well. Talked to eggbeast as far as the Kiowa goes, and once sig [usmc] takes care of some personal business I'll get a status on the Kiowa.

Oh yeah a PSA regarding my current tag on Steam: EricJ [62nd MarRgt] This time it is a very much real tag, and not to be construed as a "fake" tag that my "[TF Black]" tag was, so yes people this is the unit I'm in: http://62ndmarines.gamerlaunch.com/index.php?gid=515474&sid=2e774209e97bce48d291b3edb03a4361&sso=1462505784 While it is very much Star Citizen oriented it should be reminded that I'm "taken" and not making shit up this time.

Been taking a "vacation" of sorts and just been playing games, and not so much interested in modding. I think however next week (or sooner, who knows) I need to get hot on the UH-60 stuff that I've been putting off, just not feeling it yet. Weapons Pack: - Nothing planned UH-60 - Futuristic M2s for the XX-92s - MFD updates and capbilities UH-1Y - Nothing planned. A few people have contacted me about more versions, and quite frankly there is no plans on doing anything other than updating it. I'm sure ADuke823 may not mind, but really, I have no intention of doing anything more with it. Kiowa: - Again once it's handed over I'll get on it. Other than that the first priority is to get it out and work on more versions.

It's fun, but overall given the pace it does get boring kinda quick. So that being said there's so far the Arena Commander so you can mess around a bit but realistically the lack of a bigger universe is the major problem. I just fly patrols just so the org I am in has some idea of what's going on. Other than that I don't have much else to do there myself. I've flown all the missions, so hopefully when Alpha 2.4 comes out, there will be more to do.

Hmmm..... I think what you're expecting a lot of polish when it's still in Alpha so there are going to be various issues. Like any other game that's in Alpha stage. I mean they're allowing us to play it so I'm not too beaten down by the obvious. I mean given the scope of and the size of the game, I'm sure the delay is what it is. Yes it is boring since we only play in one system, and frankly getting tired of the same old shit myself. I just do some things and see how things are going, so I don't get so bent out of shape over the game too much.

You can download the full game for free (takes about two hours to download, it's that big) and sometimes they have Free Fly (selected ships) or buy one of the cheaper ships. It's fun to play but given the small portion of of the game universe I'd maybe wait. Or if you want to check it out then you can go ahead.
