Flanker562

Is this sorcery available to the general public? Or do i need to just go in the Downloads section and get it?

Managed to rework the Ah-1Z and update it. The Formation Lights on it are newly coded (with the help of Apollo) and updated, so they work only when the engine is on, and at night. So this Sunday: - Flanker562 Helicopter Pack - Flanker562 Weapons Pack - AH-1Z

It does look kinda cool though, I have to say.

And to round it out, a Khaki (According to BIS anyway) version of the MX Suppressor:

Here are a couple of WIP shots. One is the new Sand MX Suppressor from SureFire, and then the look on the MH-92s when the Refuelling Probe is hidden per user desire. I thought it would look like a "cap" for the end, so it has some realistic look, and doesn't interfere with vision that much. I've done some sling load practice and it's not much of an issue with it.

Yeah one of the admins was talking about the lowering user base, and so on, so I think that they're as said, losing to Discord and so on, or other forums. The Arma series area is dead except for my posting, and nobody comments other than me, but I also don't use SimHQ for anything but to post updates for my mods. I think if they updated the site and produced more content, maybe they could get more people. I'm on Mudspike and it doesn't seem like a lot of people either, but that's how it goes I guess. So far CA has attracted some people (Erik could obviously tell you the stats and such, and so on) of this site, but I think that we're fine with the user base so far.

Okay I'm pretty much done to my satisfaction with the glass damage system. I had to really work on the Ka-145 and AH-96, had some teething issues with the models and config, but that's pretty much done. I don't think I have to look over the model.cfg since that was setup, so things are going to look good for Sunday. I need to do some of the other helis, but a check of the Kiowa, and maybe need to stay off of that one, though I'd like to do some of the other helos, like the AH-1Z shouldn't be too much of an issue, but I can do that later.

The biggest thing is that modellers who sell of their models usually want it in some format that's hard to pirate. These days you never know, but that's something that a modeling company told me years ago. I mean you take a chance with models these days, whether or not their already ripped, but if it's royalty-free then you "should" be okay with exporting it to a format for a game. Though I'll just state that piracy has a zero-tolerance policy on this site, but if you're legit, then no problems with bringing it into the game.

The fact that he wants war is because his feelings got hurt because he didn't (nor was able to) win an actual Nobel Prize. The fact that he got it secondhand is reason enough to know that he's completely lost his marbles.

Well CA seems to be winning it unless Erik decides to move to Discord or something like that.

Right now all I have to do with the glass system is the AH-96 and Ka-145. Right now I'm not planning on adding much, given that a lot had to be fixed in this build. I will backup the files but more or less they're safe. I think it was good I pushed for the glass rework, since it showed that a lot of helicopters were just not complete, and I always in the military in my job did terrain sketches, and they were never complete, so that's my mentality with these modss, well most of them anyway, so there's that.

That's a good way to look at it, given the amount of categories and such, so yeah I'll pace myself and such then.

Well I seem to have misjudged the time it'll take to redo the helicopters. As mentioned I'm fixing A lot of stuff that was not finished or set properly. So when you game it after this Sunday some things will be different for players given changes to the View Geometry. Seems a lot of hidden doors and stuff, so taking fire will be more interesting now for the helicopters. But I should be able to get the fixes out Sunday, as when you use the same general model, it makes copying and pasting easier, and speeds things up, so by the end of the week I should be done with the helicopters, most of them anyway, and we'll go from there.

Yeah looks like Saturday I can work on the SF2 section. I got the SF2 complete, so I'll be able to sequester the mods into one install, then delete it and such whenever I get done. This won't be a just one day operation though.

Well I have to admit a lot of issues are being squashed with models. Going over them this time is yielding some issues. So, on Sunday, those who use my helicopters in the Helicopter Pack can get some good use out of the revamped and fixed helicopters. I've gone over the MH-60s (at least the SOAR ones) and need to do the three Navy ones, and I'll be done with that folder. I have to look at the other helicopters too, as they need to be updated and tweaked with the glass system, which of course said will take time to fully go over. But the fact that there are issues shows that a one-person show isn't always the best either.
