Flanker562

Approved

Another Mission, this time an MP version of the Pilot MH-80 (SP) mission: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3634512357

My Dad showed me a model of one, and knew about Bolenko, but it's an impressive plane I'll give it that.

Well, once you're able to download (either waiting 30 days, or subscribing), there's a Mirage F1 series that ludo.m54 has been working on for a while. You might find it to your taste, and welcome!

Managed to change the mod name folder of two more mods. I think Flanker562 will be my handle for a longer time than EricJ, but we'll see on how long I mod and if I do for Arma 4 (got to learn Blender, maybe), or not. Anyway they'll go up Sunday, and pretty much "getting back to schedule" with updates and so on. Not much planned, though I'm teasing the idea of Al-Qeada for the Taliban Fighters mod, since some service members fought them in Afghanistan. Per a gamer's comment, AQ seemed more skilled than the Taliban, so I'll probably look at a rework of the actual Taliban units I made. It shouldn't be too bad, but it'll probably be noticed by either active service members or veterans of that country and so far seems like I am doing a good enough job as it is now.

Impostor syndrome is what every writer goes through, even me. Anyway, so far even as a moderator I try and focus on doing my moderator duties as well as promote my work. I keep it to this topic only because I have a job to do, and posting my work on other topics is pretty much not what is in the spirit of the site. Anyway, if you ever get it translated to English, it would be an interesting perspective from a foreigner on what is basically a mostly English market. And I mainly write now special ops stuff too, though I I do have a series with a normal mercenary unit doing normal PMC stuff. But most of my focus on are counterinsurgency themes, with some special ops twists to it, as well as other tropes. Assymetric warfare will become more of a thing (I think it's already there), along with conventional war stuff. It's literally impossible to fully convince a population that X Army is the good guys, and there will be insurgent warfare more and more.

This is my take on the SP version of the Pilot CH-67 Huron mission that was originally uploaded by RobJ. This includes the SAM systems and such, just a mission adapted for SP scenarios rather than just MP, for those who like SP missions: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3633452879

Nice work, skin looks excellent

Flanker562 Wipeout Skins RC16 - Removed all coding references to the MASTER ARMS- SAFE system, which somehow doesn't work with vanilla jets anymore. - PBO renamed "Flanker562_Wipeout" instead of EricJ_Wipeout. Classnames and such are still the same. Flanker562 Weapons Pack RC126 - Fixed the TA64-Ibex reticule

Just cleaned out some code for the Flanker562 Wipeout... which is still EricJ_Wiepout as a folder name. I'm seriously considering renaming things but as such it is just a text file and some skins, so who knows, but I've been itching to. Anyway, the MASTER ARMS - SAFE doesn't work anymore, at least I think on vanilla jets, and only modded jets. I tried messing around with it, and no worky, so methinks just gotta deal with it. I may look into it on the helicopters though, more to follow. I'm teasing an upload tomorrow, since it's only the Wipeout and Weapons Pack. I don't have much on the plate, other than waiting for BroBeans to get back with me sometime on the Hatchet stuff.

Shades of Death, the Inkspired story, is now available in Kindle format, if that's how you like to read books done by me: https://amzn.to/48VdeI6

Did you PM the author? Most often if you do he should allow you to do it, but I would at first do that, to make sure you cover your ass in case of any uploads. I mean there's the CombatAce User Agreement, but I would stress contacting the original author first.

New SP mission, Pilot MH-80 Ghost Hawk (SP): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3632052114

Okay we have New Years left, so there's that. I'm having an issue with the loading of preset attachments on my AH-6/.15 and don't know what to do, to get them to load on the pylons for a default loadout. I managed to create some presets whoopie, but still having issues with that. Nobody's really complained, but I think for soemthing or somebody who wants to get and go and blow up shit my helos are lacking. If somebody knows how to do that, let me know please. I tried to fix a TA64 Scope for the weapons pack, it's borked right now until the 5th, but it's one optic so maybe it'll be not complained about. I fixed it and will be in the next update.

English is the forum language, unless you can try the Spanish forums in the forum listing.

Armored SUV RC9 - Added a small PMC faction, the Aston Group International, which is using stock BIS suits and Protector SMGs. This won't evolve into something greater, and is set for the Civilian faction, to denote a feeling of neutrality in a warzone. I may switch it to Independent, but I'll wait for user feedback first, if I need to change the faction affiliation.

Flanker562 Helicopter Pack RC176 - Tweaked the Surefire suppressor texture, adding some noise to give a better appearance to it when looked at close up. - Removed a model error that popped up when using the Flanker562 Weapon Pack in regards to model issues. - Task Force 562 units now carry RGO grenades instead of RGN grenades. - Added one more pistol mag for the Task Force 562 units - The Task Force 562 pre-defined squad I replaced some of the Rifleman with a UAV, Grenadier, and a MAR10 Sharpshooter operator - Task Force 562 Offroad has datalink capability - Task Force 562 Offroad has backpacks and magazines (along with stock FAKs) as standard - Fixed the respawn magazines for the TF 562 Grenadier - Removed four magazines from the Sniper (MAR-10) to allow some room for additional equipment - Tweaked DetectSkill levels for the TF562 units, giving a little more variance in the ability to fight. - Added preview images for the helicopters. They're not oriented like BIS helos, or vehicles, but they show the correct image for the helos in the pack. - Tweaked Cost values for the Black River PMC faction Flanker562 Wipeout Skins RC15 - Aircraft from this mod have in-built full datalink EricJ Taliban Fighters RC24 - Fixed the Afghan PMC Squad, now shows up in the Independent side as intended. Flanker562 Weapons Pack RC125 - Tweaked Surefire suppressor textures, adding some noise to give a better appearance to them when looked at up close. - Pistols with underside rails now use ASDG instead of the vanilla system. Note that I don't take any responsibility for misaligned mods or otherwise have no control of what other modders have for the pistol slot. - Added an ACP-C2-specific laser pointer, made by Ibex. - Added an ACP-C2-specific tactical flashlight, made by Ibex. - Ibex pistol attachments no longer attach to rifles, only to pistols with the ASDG system - Added Tan versions of the ACP-C2 flashlight and laser. - Removed the troublesome visible laser from the mod. I had thought it was CBA_A3, but no, it was an old script done years ago. It seems to be more troublesome to keep than actually useful. I recommend searching the Arma 3 Steam Workshop for Visible Lasers that meet these needs. Unfortunately as of release I have no replacement, and not sure (after using some myself) would be able to configure it for a specific mod to recommend. When I do I will announce it on the Steam page and my Discord. - Removed a model error that popped up when using the Flanker562 Helicopter Pack in regards to model issues.

For the Tanoa map, an SP version of the MP mission: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3631210457

This is based for the United Sahrani map. I think it's in a good state, but again any comments or concerns get a hold of me: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3631193860

I did that with Su-27 Flanker before I got a stick, it's not fun at all.

When I was in J-SERE years ago I did some FO stuff given my previous experience as a real one. Towards the end I was the Flight NCO and did helicopters. I joined a milsim last year, and got sick of being infantry given my ignorance of stuff like ACE3, and so on. I wanted to just fly, and frankly do most of that right now, with my recorded missions on my YouTube. But I still have the instinct of a soldier, just prefer to be a pilot more and more. Though I do go on NAKSquad and rarely go on there, and just do infantry stuff to do something different.

Well I'm sure you can afford VBS4, that is like the Arma engine with world locations if my mind serves me right. But as for me I'm slowly getting into the "just fly around" phase of light simming. I've done combat sims for over 20 years, and sometimes it's nice to enjoy the scenery sometimes too. I do play Arma 3 and I do transport helo stuff, and that gets me shot at and stuff, so that's about as far as it goes. For MSFS 2024 it's just something to look at the world from the comfort of my apartment. But, it would nice to hang some ordnance on the Super Hornet though, it's too clean.

No problem, I figured since it was a major flight sim game, that it deserved it's own thread for videos.
