Flanker562

Did some more work with the Raven PMC units. I added two types of regular Offroads. One will be the "normal security" Truck, and one will be a "Tactical" Offroad, specifically for the Tactical units. I'm also adding spare M136s for the Tactical (Gun and regular Truck). I try not to use mods a lot, but I think the AT4 as a standalone makes it easier on people as it doesn't depend on the Weapons Pack to use, and I don't want people to download a big mod for one weapon. The AT4 mod weighs in at 10MB or so, so it's like CBA_A3; it's there and not straining your hard drive. Personally, I'm thinking of doing the Titan-Ds as a separate pack, but more to follow on that, and probably not, unless there is some demand for that to happen. Anyway, I'm set to upload stuff on Sunday and make sure the AT4 requirement is included.

Took a leaf from the Project Hatchet team, and redid the heli pilot/crew for the 160th and US Army. Overall nothing special as they use a better vest and use the standard MTP uniform that comes with the game. I figured that they know the uniform standards better, so why not just fix it? The Multicam Flight Suit has been removed entirely and going with this now since it looks more realistic, even if the BIS uniforms look bleached and stuff:

Okay, now that's sorted (I'm sure you all saw the release of the AT4 standalone mod), I can get back to work on other things now that the crisis is over. I'm already looking at some updates. I tweaked the Raven PMC Gun Trucks, putting the Tactical Team Member there instead of the "regular" security units, since it makes more sense for a gun truck to be more prevalent on the military side of a PMC or something. I've gotten things settled down now, and going to look at integrating the scripts and stuff I tore out of the Weapons Pack, and fix the Titan-D launchers so they're disposable again. In my zeal to fix the AT4s, I sorta just said, "Screw it," and now I have to fix it and put it back together. So for Sunday: - Flanker562 Weapons Pack - Flanker562 Helicopter Pack - Flanker562 Raven Warfare Group

Got a bug report on the AT4 in the Weapons Pack. I don't know what caused it to be unselectable, but I think the scripts are holding it back. I tried removing the scripts, and it didn't work. For Sunday, I will remove the AT4 and other versions from the pack and work on a standalone system that will hopefully start working, because, well, I liked the system very much, and I figure something is causing it to not work. I saved most of the mod files and will work on something in the near future. In other news, I reworked the Titan-D systems; now they're not disposable and will work like any other launcher the game offers (able to be reloaded, etc.). I'll mess with it and see if I can improve it somewhat, or not.

Scroll to the top and click on the Support link and create a ticket to get that issue solved.

Essentially, you have to wait 15 days and post two times to get two downloads per day now.

I mean if you're not looking to load a lot of games (but DCS though...) yeah I'd get the 1TB then get more disk space though as I have one drive (two 2TB drives on my laptop) for a few games, including DCS (which takes up most of the space at nearly 1TB), but yeah I mean for starting out sure.

I could make room for a PC honestly, but I like laptops better from my military service (always relatively mobile, etc, can take it on deployments). And while I'm not in the military anymore, I find laptops good for the limited travel I do take part in, and so I have a piece of home with me and such. And I just like them better than PCs. I mean the downside is limited upgrades and stuff like that, but overall I just prefer them over desktops, even with the advantages that desktops have over laptops.

On a whim decided to change the weapons a bit on the regular Security units, than the RWG Tactical units. In this case the regular security members have black SPAR-16s, and the Tactical ones have Tan, to sort of differentiate them and such. I'm looking to do a maybe Corporate Representative of some sort, but I don't see much in the way for a need for a unit with a three-piece suit, unless somebody wants that kind of play involved.

I use an ASUS Gaming Laptop (ROG Strix), so it's able to play DCS fairly well, and as well as other games so far. I think if you set it right DCS can give you decent visual quality without sacrificing framerate and so on. The settings I use work well though, so I don't try and push it due to well, it's a resource hungry game. As for SF2 little worry too, and games like MWO run fine as well. So I would recommend a fairly med-high laptop if that's your fancy. I'm just familiar with ASUS and like their stuff, so I'm also kinda biased too.

Remember that the game was published in 2008, so it should be more than enough for SF2, at least I'm pretty sure it is.

Flanker562 Weapons Pack RC143 - Managed to remove the Raven Warfare Group units. I don't know how popular they were, but I felt it was best to make them a separate mod for now. Right now, I am planning on making a mod based solely on that unit, so keep an eye out if you liked the units. The mod can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=3813634812 - Tweaked the TA64 ACOGs to be more friendly with head tracking systems.

I mean you got pretty much most of them, but I think the Kiowa didn't take too long. But that's just my opinion.

Brother I know how that feels, I get tired of it too. But thanks man, I think you're doing alright, but so yeah, keep it up and no issues as always

I think both sides should chill the fuck out, and pursue things in a collegiate manner. We're snapping at people left and right, and frankly getting sick of it, regardless of it's Staff or user. Personally I think the opinion is valid, we've seen you as an antagonist person, but overall you've been doing good so far. There's no reason why we need smartass comments by anybody, we should be all professional in our discourse as well.

One thing I never liked about using A2 stuff was the textures. Sometimes they sucked and sometimes they were good. The M134 textures just looked like crap, and so therefore I needed to finally do something about it. I just edited the base texture, and it looks ten times better than a rusty weapon system, as they wouldn't be in real world use. I guess BIS thought it was impressive, but didn't look right. Now that I finally fixed the issue I feel better about the appearance about the mod and the helicopters:

Okay, right now, the Raven Warfare Group mod is "finished." I have a few things to do today, so I may not work on it much. The good thing about using a mod folder (Local Mod) is that you can separate a mod and hunt down errors as you go, which makes troubleshooting a little easier. It's time-consuming, but in the end your mod looks good, with no noticeable errors when you release it. Nobody's perfect, but neither am I. So anyway, I may think of more stuff to do sometime this week, but as it stands, it's uploadable right now.

Okay, right now the Raven Warfare Group mod is pretty much ready. I have a heli variant to introduce and may upload it sometime this week. It's nothing special, and I recommend you swap out the weapons (mostly modded BIS weapons) to match your style. The mod seems complete right now, barring a helicopter variant I'm thinking of using with the group. It'll include some of what the Helicopter Pack has so far, so you won't lose functionality with the units, and so on. So I'll work on it throughout the week, pending any ideas (I'm debating including the AT4 from the Weapons Pack) that I may come up with in the meantime.

Flanker562 Helicopter Pack RC210 - Tweaked firing arcs on the FFV positions for the MH-92 (Insertion). - Tweaked FFV arcs on the various Black Hawks, giving more range of motion. - Removed the Raven Warfare Group UH-92; it doesn't fit the mod and is not supported by anything other than the Weapons Pack (units are there, not in the Helicopter Pack). So I am thinking of making the Raven Warfare Group its own mod, so it will not show up anymore in the Helicopter Pack either. Stay tuned if you'd like it to be reintroduced in the future. - Removed Raven Warfare Group units and vehicles. Again, I plan on making a separate mod for the unit, so keep an eye out for that. - MH-60A (Insertion) works as intended. I apologize if you wanted to use it and found it lacking; my bad.

I remember having the model kit to that, it was pretty cool actually

Well, despite my own wishes, I modded for about an hour, just to keep busy. I removed the Raven Warfare Group and a lot of other stuff that was still in the mod. When I removed the Persian Islamic Front stuff, I finally removed that stuff from the Weapons Pack. The Weapons Pack wasn't meant to be a unit mod; I just added stuff that seemed to work with the weapons included, but I kept three: the Golden Eagles, The Initiative, and Task Force Black. In any case, I will probably keep them there, since they need the Weapons Pack's support to function for now, and I don't need to strip them of the units anyway. As for the upcoming Raven Warfare Group mod, I've started changing over the UH-92 in the pack, and it will be included. I can probably do some skins for it, and make a modded UH-92 much like the MH-92 as far as seating and the like, as I would think a tactical unit would do that, even though they are a PMC. No special equipment, just a bare-bones conversion of that helicopter.

After some thinking, I removed the Raven Warfare Group UH-92. I don't think it fits within the scope of the Helicopter Pack, and I've always wanted to make a mod based on them in the past. I think this time it's the best time to remove it, as I don't know how popular it is, and think it would be better in a separate mod of it's own, rather than just being there, like the BRPMC version has units to fill it. I may just keep it in the Helicopter Pack, and remove the Warfare Group from the Weapons Pack, and stick it in the Helicopter Pack. It's just a quick move, and may do that and just incorporate some of the unit stuff as a filler, like the Task Force 562 units, where they're "customers" for the 160th, with no known ties to current SF units. I'll figure it out this week as I go along and rethink the RWG, but for now they won't show up in the Helicopter Pack.
