This.

2013 is the last patch

We should give out some kind of award for stuff like this, sorta like a community thank you for such quality weapons. Nobody has done so well with this stuff. I'm sure have done good but wow, this is impressive.

I'm getting the same problems too, sometimes it hangs, sometimes it doesn't work, so who knows what's going on.

I'm getting the same problems too, sometimes it hangs, sometimes it doesn't work, so who knows what's going on.

Never heard of them, but maybe somebody has one. Maybe

Ahh nevermind, I'm sure one day somebody will do one here so it can be used by this community. Anyway unfortunately I don't have a rail for you. I have a 3ds Max (maybe) of an old LAU-127 dual rail adapter, but that's all I can do, and you'd have to make it yourself, etc.

Thanks man but as of late I don' t play SF2 at all, I keep it around because I'm working on a project with Soulfreak and Co., but it's a phase of me not playing it for awhile since there's nothing new to do with it. I mainly play other games and such, keeps my interest, though I play a lot of Arma 3 though. I think SF2 will keep you busy since all of the aircraft and maps you can fly to keep busy with. Maybe you'll do more or some modding, that usually takes up time too, so that may be a good route. The only reason I play Arma 3 a lot is that I can mod that game, as I have enough software to help me edit the models and the like, so I stick with what I can do, while in SF2 I mainly do skins and such.

I think we should wait for somebody with a Warthog stick to chime in that can help you, as I don't own a Warthog stick. I own a Thrustmaster Hotas One myself and it's plug and pray more or less. An aside I got depression though I'm managing it kinda well, so you're not the only one on here who's got mental issues.

No update to the game unfortunately. I'm not sure and out on a limb but doesn't the Warthog have software of its own? If so have you tried that?

Cool plane, DAT?

Wouldn't you have to make a new Mig-23/27 for that to look right though? I mean it's cool looking, but I guess you can figure out a way to adapt it so it looks right.

Fair enough.

Right now nothing is being mostly worked on. I did setup the A/MH-15M for the ability to be slingloaded, so that'll show up next week. I had looked into a couple of A2 models that can be modified to look with the tilt-rotor/ducted fan system. Right now I don't have a good selection of models to work with, so I'll probably do those two. The tentative derivative of the Ka-52 is the "Ka-145" and not sure what to do with the Orca/Ka-60 that was in A2: OA, so it'll be easy to convert it and look okay. Both helos will probably be worked on next week, after RC144, which just has the Sling Load points for the two helos I mentioned. So far nothing else has come to mind and frankly taking it easy this week as well, I've been working on the helos since 2015, and sometimes I just need to let it sit for awhile and wait for user feedback and so on. Nothing else comes to mind for the other mods that I have worked on, they're pretty much set, though I am leaning to get the Barrett M468 textured. I got it configged so it'll come around when it will, and I can finally put that for users. Ammo and stuff is taken care of, and surprisingly 6.8mm ammo turned out equivalent to 5.56mm, so I'm a little disappointed in the outcome, or it's been so long that I didn't do the round justice. Whatever the case that works. Once the M468 gets textured I can work on the rest of the gun, getting it setup for A3 and so on. I might look forward to A4, but that's in 2027, not now. Again and any issues feel free to let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I know you mean well and more than likely it's a capability that I simply haven't thought of so don't take it I don't appreciate your hard work you put into the adjustment. But I have plans when I'm not posting on where my mod is going or I just don't post it because its probably something small or large, depending on what it is. Posting modded configs is not good because it throws a possible wrench in my mod and therefore people think it's "approved" when it is not. PM me and I'll check it out and yay or nay it. Or simply ask me here on this topic thread and either way if you take the time to ask, more than likely I will say yes. - Texture Edits: Generally I don't mind texture edits but again if you're going to mod my mod then again, PM me to keep things nice so i know what's going on in case of any issues that may arise. - Adding it to other mods: And if you're adding it to a public release as part of another mod, again just take that time to PM me so I know what's going on. - Modpacks: You do not need to ask permission to add this to a modpack. As long as you're just adding it then there is no reason to ask. - Redistribution: So far Armaholic, PWS, and occasionally Arma3.de has the authority to redistribute my mods as they're respected, and more public and they deserve the allowance given their hard work. Other modders, or even players DO NOT have permission to re-upload without permission. So to make it clear, ASK before finding some hostile comments and I will take appropriate action to get it removed. If you really like the mod and find it within yourself to enhance your reputation then I will never permit such a thing. I'm not your Stepping Stone to better greatness. If you want to be popular get off your fat ass and get to work. Requests: - Commune with the spirits, or consult an Ouija board, which is this: http://amzn.to/1I8Ogiw - If tell you no, it means NO. - Don't ask me to redo other people's works, I don't have your permission, nor are you as a player authorized to "give permission", I will check and if you say that it's "okay" then I will delete your PM if you PM me. - I don't work for you, therefore be nice and ask, not order around. - And if for some reason I accommodate your request, then I still don't work for you. I'm being nice and taking the time to do work for you. I don't work for you and don't expect me to take it. Then your request will magically disappear and that will be that. And if you complain you should have thought about that before you decided to think I'm your bitch, go talk to a therapist if you have mental problems about this. Error Reporting: - First off most small errors I won't rush to fix an upload so bringing up a small error like "Oh the sights aren't rounded, I don't like it." Isn't going to lift my skirt. Nor are "game breaking" issues like you want an updated version and bringing up bullshit issues. - I will check, and post videos, especially if its a bullshit error like "I can't use my uniform pack because of your mod" or "I have things appearing in the air and it's breaking the game". If I can't reproduce the error given your parameters then I'll feel you're full of shit, and will be treated accordingly. I don't trust most of the community as far as I can throw a ten ton vehicle as far as this issue is concerned. - If a particular mod is truly causing CTDs, then yes I'll unfuck it. - If you post bitch complaints like "I don't like how the sights are" or "The casings are ejecting to the left" then you're just that, a bitch. And I will continue to talk to you as if you are one, because on the whole I don't care as that's just weak. Get off your fat ass and make it yourself. - If you want it done faster, do it yourself and I don't work according to anybody's timetable, other than my own. As I won't honor all requests, because there isn't anything saying I have to, so if I tell you no, either once or repeatedly then it means No, which given the level of intelligence on these forums will require me to tell you to go fuck yourself. - I'll upload fixes when I feel like it, so like the above, if I feel like uploading it now, then it's my decision, not for you to effect as I don't work for anybody on these forums. So expecting me to always upload is a far gone hope that you need to get out of your head. - I'm not saying don't report errors, is that most of the time they're bullshit errors and I will not believe you the next time. I'd highly suggest reading Peter and the Wolf as you all seem to be Peters around here. Streamlined/Custom Mod Packs: - As you know my mod has a rather large variety of weapons, but it's not always good for most people (too many weapons, not the weapons you're looking for) so here's what I usually do instead or request: - First please PM me here on the forums and all I ask is a good definitive list for what you're looking for rather than not knowing what you want. - If you're part of a clan please just one person as it keeps down the level of confusion and keeps things organized both on my end and your end. And it prevents too many people wanting an off-beat gun and so on. Its your clan and a specific weaponset is always needed. - More often than not I have a fairly good idea on what I have on and don't have available. If I know I can't do it, and know of a mod that will suit your needs, I will of course recommend it in lieu of any work. It's not that I don't want to do it, but if it's already done then I see no need overall to take the time to do it. But if I do have it I can get it to you. And of course I will give you a timeline roughly when it will get done. I will upload it to your representative or if needed, and so on. - I do have TS3, and my gaming site is here: http://562ndts.enjin.com/?welcome If you are registered on the Enjin forums the messaging system will work as well. Again as long as it's one person. - As far as the weapons go I will see what I can do. I have pistols to mortars and some other stuff, but be aware I use a lot of Arma 2 source files to get the weapon to you. I do have some 3D modelling skills so i can also manipulate or create things to get what you need. Again if I can't do it then I will let you know. "I don't like this" (and it's one or a few people = Not going to motivate me, but it's duly noted "I think you should do this and only this to 'enhance' the game" (Or telling me how to run my mod) = Yeah no thanks, I'm the mod author so I'll do as I see fit to satisfy as many people as possible. "I'll berate Eric about a single thing I don't like (as in one person) because persistence pays off" = Not going to happen, you can kindly pester somebody else, and continued activity when told I don't appreciate starts to turn into abject harassment. No thanks. "Mod is CTDing my Game": I'll fix it for sure, as some of you have seen. Do me a favor and describe what mods you're running, and so on, that way I can see for myself, and 9 times out of 10 it was my fault, so I'll fix and reupload. "I don't like these sights how they look"" = Duly noted, but I really don't care about that kind of opinion. While they're not very hiqh quality models got it, overall I try and to my best to get them as accurate as possible. So if you don't like a particular style, well, either request or find another mod. A lot of you players tend to think that your opinion matters and I should jump on a request like flies on shit. Fact is that if it's brought up continuously and I keep saying No, then well, I'm not interested in doing some things, I just don't have to and don't want to. Part of the mod is some personal things as well as what players are looking for. Again I can listen to your suggestion, but given that other than various donations, I do all the work so that gives me a lot of leeway in saying Yes or No to a request. I can understand if I break your heart if I do say No, but I don't get any reimbursement for my time and effort I put into my work. If you feel the need to complain about it I'll do my best to ignore it, as the main thing people seem to not understand is that I can listen to you, but I make the final decision, not you, to include it. Just thought I'd post this given I tend to see how people act. Skin Requests: - I don' t mind doing skin requests but keep it sane and of course specify what aircraft/helicopter you need. For various aircraft it can take a few days or so (depending on the detail of the base aircraft) to create a PSD template and then I'll get it to you. - At the minimum draw a "Stick plane" of what you want. Bear in mind for default aircraft there are limitations on how the aircraft was textured, so you may not always be able to get the effect you want. I will of course let you know. Issues and how to fix them: - "Infinite Ammo": Open the Steam Interface and right click and click on Properties. Click the Local tab and Verify Game Cache. Sometimes downloads glitch and causes that problem. After that the weapons should work fine. Also check your ASDG Joint Rails, ensure that you don't have another one (usually older version) running which may cause issues as well. - Game CTDs when trying to resume saved games: I've been getting a lot of complaints when my mod is used with the Arma 3 Launcher that comes with the game. I don't use this method so I don't see any issues as of yet when I get the reports. I'm not saying it's not out there, but if your game is crashing when resuming any missions, Instead of using the Launcher I go through the game itself, i.e. Configure/Expansions and Enable or Disable as needed. Restart the game and things will or should work fine as I've resumed various saved games and haven't had any CTDs or anything related. I also don't have anything to do with the Launcher so if you have issues, contact BIS if that comes up or use the method described.

I don't think Thirdwire has ever done a sale where they reduce the price for a bit (but I could be wrong too). I mean yeah why pay 160 when you can pay 100? It's definitely worth it though.

Okay but I'm still against dogfighting in it, especially with the flight model in the game, which remains to be seen if I will fly it anyway in the future.

Nice work. The Phantom has always had nice lines, but the maneuverability makes it only good for a bomb truck, rather than an interceptor in my opinion. But it has it's charms, and maybe I should fly it more, maybe.

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC143 - MH-60S 2-pylon has correct scheme - Removed all EoTechs from the M134s, given that the miniguns are used for area suppression, and not point shooting. To aim without a crosshair use the tracers.

I'd doubt North Atlantic, given the Navy focus, rather than USAF. I can't recall for the base game (it's been years and never flew the Phantom to know the difference), but maybe an E in the original? streakeagle would probably know,

After some thought, I decided to change the price of 5th Kommando: Destinations to 1.99 dollars. This has nothing to do with inflation, but the book is 50K words, and lower than the books that are like 100K+ words, which is still reasonable. Right now it's still .99cents: https://amzn.to/3CTPsPC

For those who aren't on Facebook or don't have me on Facebook, I write too. Just like Gepard and Skyviper I've put out some books. Most of the time when I'm not gaming I'm back to writing, and working on some fantasy books right now.

You're asking the wrong guy, but if somebody had access to the files and could modify them... I think it's possible. Frankly as I said, nobody has modded the horizon distance, and never mentioned an intent to do so. So the answer is just you need to modify the code as a "safe" answer for your question. Unfortunately it's hard to get (impossible I would say as an opinion) to get a hold of TK and maybe fix that issue. Other than that what I've said is basically what I know, which isn't that much. But as you mentioned it could be a hard limit that the game has, given it's age. Only the Spaghetti Monster (Or God, if you believe in him) knows if TK will ever work on this game again to possibly address the issue.

I don't recall anybody else asking this kind of question about that. Overall you can see "far enough" which is basically the range your virtual eye ball can see. So there may be a way, but I don't recall anybody messing with that at all, since like the game has been out. Of course I could be wrong, but everybody accepts the view as it is more or less. Then again there may be something in the Knowledge Base but I kinda doubt it.

I know GKABS was working on one, but nothing more from that unless I'm mistaken.
