Flanker562

Other than light DCS work, I don't have anything planned yet for Arma 3. The Hatchet stuff is on standby, as I don't know if BroBeans will work out the issues or if they are really too busy or don't want to fix them. Right now, the Hatchet Interaction Framework is optional, as the vanilla startup is still working. I've unloaded the mod since I don't need it, and haven't used the framework to start the birds when I play around or record the Pilot missions. So maybe something like a request or something will come around, and I can get back in it or just rest on some laurels a bit and focus on other games for now. They won't be abandoned (I'm still wary of Arma 4, but that's next year), but most mods seem stable enough not to worry about either. If anything changes, I'll let you know.

I mean I used to watch that show, but it's been so long, and well... don't worry about such things.

I mean that's US Foreign Policy, so I guess we'll go with it.

Yeah I don't play Red unless it's an edited single mission, like where there's no enemy and just enjoy the scenery as much as possible and just fly around. But that experience and other people commenting on this subject kept me from flying Red jets, even though it would be nice to do something different. Oh well, it is what it is I suppose.

Unfortunately it's like that with Single Missions (I played as an Su-33, and next thing you know i have four F-15s barreling towards me with while the game was loading, firing Sparrows). I mean there has to be a reason, and I don't know what TK was thinking, as it looks like he favored the NATO/BLUFOR side more than the Russians, and other "Enemy". I mean I don't know what has to be done, maybe Eagle114th found something (even though he's been radio silent for a while) in the Dlls and the Illuminati got him, or what, but there's no solution other than create a single mission and fly without enemy.

From what I understand the initial A-10 prototypes had a M61 while the 30mm was being developed, so you could say that the plane came first before it was integrated into the plane, so ergo, the plane came first.

Lol wtf

I'm also planning on reworking the old skins to the new camo, just slowly but surely update them, as I just updated the download for the above skin.

Decided to rework a skin based on more accurate colors for DCS:

Flanker562 Helicopter Pack RC185 - Containers now have their own Category, called "Flanker562 Objects" in the Props section, in order to find the containers faster - Added Civilian themed containers, colored Light Blue, Medevac, Cargo, Fuel, and Repair ones. - Cleaned up the files again, removing some unnecessary files that didn't have any use in the mod. - Quashed a RVMAT-related error. - Cleaned up model.cfg, removed some unnecessary entries https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=667709746 Flanker562 Shooting Barriers RC3 - Now the Barriers can be found under "Flanker562 Objects" in the Props section of the Editor. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3568045096 Flanker562 Cherokee Containers RC33 - Containers now have their own Category, called "Flanker562 Objects" in the Props section, in order to find the containers faster - Added Civilian themed containers, colored Light Blue, Medevac, Cargo, Fuel, and Repair ones. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=776690780

Other than the uploads this Sunday, I have no new work to be had or planned. I got a request to do a four-rotor Chinook, but I said that somebody else was going to do it, so I backed off. I'm not particularly interested in doing the big helos, as I'm more of a medium-lift person. Anyway, I've been enjoying something I don't do with Arma 3, and that's just being a player more or less for DCS World, enjoying learning some things like the F/A-18C and such, so that's been a relaxing time for me this week. Who knows what will come to mind next week, but it's just nice to play a game (which I'll start tomorrow morning for A3) rather than worrying about modding it for once. I still will work on A3, but at a slower pace unless some idea comes to mind. We'll see.

Mue? Oh I don't think so, he hasn't done much for the community other than make some boooooring utilities that is just a pain for everybody involved. Just kidding he's been a good force within the SF2 community, and I didn't notice he wasn't a modder, so it's well deserved.

@Erik

I see, I'm gonna ask the guy I did this for if I can release this skin

I'd be lying to you if I told you how it works. I don't know if it really matters actually, since friendly AI are directed (as well as the Hawkeye) by Red Crown, so I don't know if it makes any difference, or it's just something that was implemented in NA, or just something "cool" to use or whatnot. Maybe @Crusader would know, but I thought it was nifty to include, and don't see any benefit since I fly solo too. I mean it would make sense what you're suggesting, but I hven't seen any gameplay or notes suggesting if it's effective or not.

Okay for some reason I was tracking one, but okay.
