Flanker562

I haven't had that in a long time myself, I kinda miss White Castle and their tiny burgers.

Yeah fair, I was mainly joking though as I don't really look for the MdDonalds on a base though, as I'm usually just focused on the mission, and not so much the terrain. That is of course it has some highlights to look forward to and such.

Honestly, I stopped flying Strike missions on that map for that reason alone. I like a challenge like everybody else, but when you've got enemy fighters and SAMs flying at you, death is inevitable. I don't know what pervaded TK to think that a flight could take out a carrier, and like to know the thought process on that train of thought to be honest with you. I like dropping bombs or missiles on shacks, hangars, and other assorted paraphernalia that normal strike missions entail, not trying to fight a battle group. I mean I suppose Nightshade/PR launches a nuke at it, and wins it, but for the conventional people it's a bitch.

Looking at (and started) to update the MH-60Ms and MH-92s by at least starting to remove the old horizon balls from the geometries of the helicopters. I know the EGI replaced that and looking to figure out how to do that for the helicopters to update them and upgrade them a bit. I noticed this on the Hatchet birds, but I can look at that. Also will look at scroll wheel removable doors in the future as well. I know some like to LARP reality and stuff, so we'll see on that. I started it but didn't quite enjoy going through every helicopter since some like the doors on, and I just leave them on or off.

I mainly stick to TurboSquid, because I feel safe more or less buying models, than Sketchfab or other places.

Yes because you need more than just that one I'm afraid. If it doesn't populate the whole map, I'm not downloading it lol

Okay I planned on deleting the missile mod yesterday, but totally forgot, and when I did it was kinda late in the day, so it'll be deleted shortly. I'm keeping the mod around though on my hard drive, and will (if PlaneBot allows me) mod the files so that it works. Still haven't heard anything, so maybe he's still running into problems and bugs to iron out. Darkcode has been silent, so he's probably not working on it or is just busy with IRL stuff. I haven't flown in weeks, and frankly waiting for 2.5 for the CJS Super Hornet Mod to work on adapting my old skins to that mod standard. Once that's complete (and that will be posted on a different topic that I maintain) I'll see about other things.

I always thought the Euros should invade the US to get rid of Trump, but that's pretty much how I feel about the situation

Yeah the contact I talked to for the Super Hornet was more concerned about it in a format that can't be ripped, but these days it's impossible to prevent it. Other than that he had no issue.

Flanker562 Weapons Pack RC140 - Tweaked the Aimpoint CompM4 model slightly - Golden Eagles RPG Gunner now has RPGs to fire - Custom ammo bag for the Golden Eagles RPG Gunner created - Templated Golden Eagles Squad now has an RPG Gunner instead of a Soldier - Consolidated the Mags and Proxies folder into Mags folder. Flanker562 Helicopter Pack RC206 - Added "CQB" versions of the TF562 units, just for variety and possible gameplay reasons. I won't use them on missions, but some mission designers may find them useful. - Added (with thanks from FASFAS again) some Royal Saudi Land Forces UH-60-themed patches, for use on the uniforms. Flanker562 Taliban Fighters RC33 - Taliban RPG Gunner has an appropriate backpack now - SPAR-16s for the US Army Faction have been swapped out for MX rifles and variants. I chose this since it's 2035, not the GWOT, and I don't know if I'll do GWOT-era uniforms and such; TBD. - Added 2035 USMC uniforms; this upload consists of the Woodland version of MARPAT (next upload will have desert). This is for those who don't have a MARPAT uniform or whatnot, but it represents the USMC contribution to the original GWOT as they served with distinction. This also represents the ETT Marines in my area during my tour, who trained the ANA and so on. They deserve recognition, even though they didn't have a large footprint in my area of operations. ADuke Kiowa Warrior RC29 - Added a Royal Saudi Land Forces Bell 406 patch, courtesy of FASFAS Persian Islamic Front RC5 - Fixed the Desert Grenadier, now name is correct - Added a custom RPG round via the Magazine Wells system, the PG-7VL. This enables the PIF units to engage aerial units with the weapons system. Flanker562 M995 RC3 - Added a requested 60-round magazine https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3643025762

SO I understand you don't need me to get anything? Or I do?

Got a request for a 60-rounder for the M995 mod, so I used it from the Weapons Pack, and will include it in tomorrows upload spree (I got quite a lot of updates for the morning), so tomorrow: - Flanker562 Weapons Pack - Flanker562 Taliban Fighters - Flanker562 Persian Islamic Front - Flanker562 Helicopter Pack - Flanker562 Weapons Pack - ADuke Kiowa Warrior - Flanker562 M995

I admit some bias when I served in Afghanistan. I saw a lot of Marines prior to going north in Kuwait in 2004, and we had a smattering of ETTs at our FOB in Afghanistan. I needed to make some units for a planned mission task, so I developed some ETT Marines (as well as regular types) for the Taliban Fighters mod. I figured some Marines will like the nod, and yeah I like their digi pattern uniforms better than our own next to useless ACUs. Anyway, here are some WIP shots, of the uniform, and the Coyote backpack I developed through personal use for the EF CDLC:

File404 has a lot of BF109 variants mostly. I was going to get the P-47 for Wrench, but I see he has one so won't worry about. I can go to TurboSquid and get whatever, so yeah. TurboSquid has some BF110 models though, reasonably priced too.

Yeah it's going to be limited in armament, just those two forward hardpoints for BIS weapons and such. I am planning (or thinking of) doing the rocket pods that normally are on there.

Yeah just tell me (and provide the link via PM or such) what file you want, and I can help buy a few or so.

Some more progress shots on the Samson, ADuke has found a way to allow detail with proxies and stuff, so it shouldn't be too hard on the frames (I hope):

After some thinking, I'm going to replace the weapons for the US Army with the MX series of rifles. I think that would fit 2035 better than HK416 clones. Granted the 6.5mm leaves little to be desired, but logistics-wise it would make more sense than SPAR-16s. So I'll be switching that out for the SPARs. This is for the Taliban Fighters Mod

Per the above image (the patch, not the Samson): - Flanker562 Weapons Pack - Flanker562 Taliban Fighters - Flanker562 Persian Islamic Front - Flanker562 Helicopter Pack - Flanker562 Weapons Pack - ADuke Kiowa Warrior All for this Sunday

Okay some possible good news: PlaneBot on the CJS Discord may be able to get a missile mod working. I will ask him if it's okay if I use it for my own edits, based on what "i think is good", but may be just a range edit, or whatnot, but I intend to work on the mod, or just delete my mod, and use his. He's modifying the Modern Missile Mod, so that will be that coding. PlaneBot says there are some bugs, but if it gets working, then we won't have to worry about missile issues, at least until the next patch shows up, and ED does something else to bork it.

I mean I could purchase a couple of models for use, not that much of a problem. I bought the single model for the Super Hornet, and was File404's model as well. FastCargo did the variants though.

Yeah no shit, take a break Volker, you need it more than we do, who's still relatively good in the mind body and soul. There's always somebody else who can come along. I mean he or she may not be up to par like you, but you've done a lot for the community and which we will always be eternally grateful.
