I agree with allenbj42 as while the US is divided, it's not yet ready for another Civil War, and it wouldn't be about Trump. I figure with the current attitude with Putin a real US vs. Russia scenario is more fitting than political discord. I mean we're fighting each other in social media and so on, but overall we're not at the brink.

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC121 - TF 562 JTAC has default datalink enabled. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10kS4TDAQl8pwT4jhHNN0pgzqrcjtFnqc/view?usp=sharing

Huh, I always thought that Sabres were all metal. I mean I've seen mainly those, so that's interesting to see these.

The Tomcats are done well, and shouldn't be redone at all... I mean yeah they are old, but TMF isn't bad quality work IMHO. Besides who's going to make the cockpits? Recycle the old ones? But a Viggen I can get behind though

Yeah but even then I go to Turbo Squid to find something I want too and used a few of their models for projects for a couple of games. It's not a matter of laziness but being economical with time lol

The latest CDLC for Arma 3 just came out and some dude was griping over 7.99 (that was the full price of it), and trying to get it on sale. I mean why not support a local group with some money to make more content, than trying to buy it cheap. Really set me off. I didn't say anything but yeah, some people spend more on coffee than on content for games. I mean 3W has some money, but 5.99 isn't too bad for somebody to buy either.

If I flew the plane I'd go with the black background more than the accurate one, simply because it may be easier to see and so on.

EricJ Weapons Pack RC114 - TF Black JTAC now has a datalink capability https://drive.google.com/file/d/10d0J7hnHQhq3yx_JR9yxTA6TlsEtQsEF/view?usp=sharing

EricJ Taliban Fighters RC28 - Added a new HVT, Gilbudeen Hikmatyaar by request - Added a new unit for the Special Activities Division faction, this time a JTAC, with datalink capabilities.

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC120 - Sliding doors are now permanently closed due to the fact that they only open halfway. While I could simply just enable the FFV points to the side that opens, I felt that it was better to close them off, and remove the FFV positions. Until a fix happens they will remain closed. The framework is still available in case I can revisit this capability. Until then they will remain permanently closed. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10bYUVLyy2GptUFevlOn5PD1e0MCUp8y4/view?usp=sharing

Looking cool, maybe a Ukraine version with the blocks on it? Anyway looking cool so far man

So as I understand, this will be a largeish map to fly in then?

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC119 - Fixed a gimbal issue with the View Optic Mode for the relevant aircraft. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10_ne6tegvnmd9qwwYzbvdFZkkcQ5rITj/view?usp=sharing

EricJ Taliban Fighters RC27 - Changed the unit type manning the DSHKM - Added a new HVT, Gul Mohammed - Added a "Special Activities Division" faction, with only two units, a Team Leader and Operator. I may add more but so far it's just those two units. Again any feedback for the units would be appreciated. Again if you don't like it make your own units using your own modset, so you can have the best experience possible.

ADuke Kiowa Warrior RC3 - Fixed gimbal issue with the MMS view Optic mode - Removed a missing texture error

Other than the last update to the EricJ Helicopter Pack I have nothing (well the SA-2 Samson) on the horizon. I've been toying with HVT names for the EricJ Taliban Fighters mod, as I'm sure some Afghanistan veterans have some ideas (Haji Matin was in my area when I was there, and he died I think some years ago, so there's that) of names, so if you served and want to add a personal touch to the mod for missions then let me know as I'm open for some ideas on how to add them and such. One fictional name is Gul Mohammed as that popped in my head while typing this. As for everything else nothing needs as far as I know needs to be worked on. All mods are somewhat complete so I can sit back, and do nothing but read and other things while I try and figure out what next to do. I don't have much planned other than the SA-2 Samson, so whenever ADuke gets that to me, I'll get that out as well. My plans are for a standalone mod rather than part of the EricJ Helicopter Pack. I know I have Avatar-like helos in it, but I feel people would like it without requiring a large download, and it seems fitting that it should be its own mod. I know for a fact it'll not have any guns on it (like the doorguns on the ones in the movie), so first it will be unarmed, and if some enterprising modder wants to model the doorguns, please let me know and I'll incorporate them into the mod for an armed version. It will have some kind of forward rocket pod in the front as well, as I can do that so you'll have something, or I'll just allow the BIS weapons as a short-term thing. Given the engine and how it's not possible to have pylon weapons and manned doorguns (I learned that from the Helicopter Pack) in the same model, but I'll see what can happen if BIS either works on it, or it stays as is.

A good Prowler model would be nice. There's Homefries's Superpack, but if I can knock it down to just one good bird (are you making versions or one model?) would be nice.

I'm actually glad that you're doing that GKABS, as while I'm sure it would be great, there is saturation and sometimes that's kinda bad in some ways.

Yeah I can see why... Ahh gotcha, I've seen this photo in the Wiki before, just never saw it as a 3D model

What plane is that?

Hmm I just tried manually inputting the coordinates and it didn't work. I'll have to remember that for next time I have to deal with it.

I don't know how GKABS fixed the issue, but he did and didn't let on how he did it, and I actually never thought to ask.

Okay disregard on this, it was fixed.

I'm sure that an ATACMS doesn't exist as nobody has made a HIMARS, and ODS would have the MLRS, but I don't know if they made an ATACMS version or just the usual DPICM rockets.
