Well after reading these posts on this topic, it could happen to me, but then again I don't take a gazillion screenshots either, so if I did it could very well happen to me too.

Nice and to clarify, this is the stuff that we're working on with Soulfreak correct?

Just did a basic Google search and it said at the current outline, the Navy will use the bird until 2030 or later (the production line is slated to be finished in 2027). So that's like less than six years from now, or whatnot until some replacement comes online. I'll update the virgin download with the new expiration date, but again leave it up to players when they download the next update, which again will be in two weeks. Otherwise not much is planned other than when GKABS gets around to working on the 3D models for the pack.

Right now I'm practically "feature complete" more or less with the EricJ Helicopter Pack. I really don't have much to add and feel that maybe I can take a good long break from it, hence the two updates today. I was going to post tomorrow but decided to upload it and get it over with, so I can walk away from it for a while until something new comes along and the like. As for other mods, I still have to work on the Kiowa, and tomorrow going to hit it with an attempt to color it better. What templates I have I can do something with it and see if I can't get the right color and get that finished. Not much else is planned and that means probably a few missions in the works down the road and the like. Not much on the plate really, so that's a good thing, but tomorrow the Kiowa at least, get it settled and see what happens. There are some issues with the mapping since the colors don't cover the whole aircraft, I'll post a screenshot of what I'm talking about in my WIP thread when I can. Other than that, not much else is planned for now.

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC116 - Worked on the Sling MFD page a little more, tweaking it and changing a few things to make it useful, though it's what it is right now as for some reason it won't center on the page, but it is usable at least. - Pylon Pod M134 and M197 cannons now have rotating barrels with help from Lexx on the Tiny Gecko Studios Discord. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10QbgH_MAQ82l0jrZQHIMUYCv7lFdN5vD/view?usp=sharing

I've had one guy who was banned here trying to get my Super Hornet Package, and I flatly refused, because once you do it once, they keep asking.

Not me not yet

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC115 - Tweaked threat values for the UH/MH-60/92s - Tweaked the Sling MFD page on the XX-92s, and removed the Sling Load page on the MH-92 DAP https://drive.google.com/file/d/10Op7UVCJzP16eKS2AzgZkO8YFFrR5-oX/view?usp=sharing

Also if that link doesn't work you can always go here to get the Discord link: https://www.thirdwire.com/community.htm I mean Menrva isn't wrong, but they could you know, do something about it too if they wanted to.

Invites last about 24 hours or so if I understand correctly but here's a new one: https://discord.gg/SWxgzSTH

RHS AFRF Lasers and Suppressors RC4 - Re release. It should be noted that this mod was done in 2016 and not updated. I may go and fix this issue, but for now they can be equipped on limited weapons. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3359854764

Ahh that does the trick doesn't it? I don't do much A2A so I missed that detail. Well it's good you figured it out though.

You'll have to edit each missile in the folders to get what you want, but even with my setup, AIM-120Ds get spoofed (not often mind you) by MIG-23s, so it is what it is. Then again I do also fire them at long range, but sometimes a hit is guaranteed more often than not.

EricJ Taliban Units RC24 - Added a dedicated RPG gunner, also added him to the "Taliban Infantry Squad"

EricJ Helicopter Pack RC114 - Added a shadow LOD to one of the M230 cannons https://drive.google.com/file/d/10MSQoYR5U6nnW67uUd4bY1So9ukDzAqz/view?usp=sharing

EricJ Weapons Pack RC112 - Due to some conflicts with other mods that I'm working with, I decided to remove the Taliban units. I'm sure that they weren't used as much. If you did like the faction, then you can find it under EricJ Taliban Units as that's a duplicate of the same framework that the faction functioned in the weapons pack https://drive.google.com/file/d/10IV5UKFhfPxOoGXA0U3CXHTsrQtCEel6/view?usp=sharing

Okay right now I'm pretty much on a chill setting for mods. The Taliban Fighters is pretty much where its at and so on. The EricJ Weapon Pack has one issue and that's the Barrett M468. I don't know how the texture ended up missing, but somehow I deleted it. I asked ADuke if he's got a copy of the texture so I can insert it and kill that error. Overall, not much for the EricJ Helicopter Pack. I do have something to fix, but it's not game breaking, so I'll hold off until inspiration strikes me. As sorta hinted I wanted (and I think somebody hinted at it), a UAV able to transport human or AI players around, but mainly for milsims and the like. Also for the future (whenever I get my hands on it), I'm not sure if I want to put the SA-2 Samson in the helicopter pack, or standalone, but I may move it to standalone, and need to get a hold of James Cameron (it would be the good thing to do to at least ask if it's okay, failing that who knows) and at least cover my butt as far as IP issues and the like, but that's for the future. I've been mainly focusing on mission stuff and adapting missions for play. I don't know what's more popular, SP or MP missions, so I just make them and hope somebody plays them. Some of my missions have shown to be popular, but it's hard to gauge what people like with some metrics and the like. Anyway, I don't have much planned right now, which is nice as I can sorta chill and see what hits my mind in the future.

I don't have a SU-57, but here's the Su-27 RWR_SU-27.7z

EricJ Taliban Units RC23 - "Taliban Fighter 2 and (No Hat) has an RPK-12 MG as a standard weapon - Fixed an entry for the Taliban Fighter 2 (No Hat) - "Taliban Infantry Squad" now has an RPK gunner (replaced one of the units with him)

EricJ Taliban Units RC22 - Armed them after so many years for a mission I'm working on, they use BIS weapons, so there's no issue with weapon use and not making it a small weapons pack. Again if you don't like it make your own edits and so on. - Fixed a filepath error - Added a "Taliban Infantry Squad", given to fit the game, unlike in reality where there were no defined squads and the like.

Ahh gotcha, thanks man

Looking good actually. Are you planning on doing current and future Vipers? There's this article about the new electronics suite: https://theaviationist.com/2024/10/29/f-16-ivews-first-flight/

EricJ Weapons Pack RC111 - Fixed a missed CfgPatches error https://drive.google.com/file/d/10HYXDvpM_aGA_ddOzWJnd9btP7d2D3B3/view?usp=sharing

According to some people the images were off, but for one project I did for somebody he approved of it, so there's that. But I hate creating new topics because I have my own topic and feel it's better to ask there as somebody will see it. But as DA suggested, finding modeling sites and color profiles will work, or even some of the birds here as the scheme appears to be the same overall.
