C-17 Globemaster lll - ArmA 2 Mod (Alpha Stage, needs lots of work)

INTRODUCTION

I will begin by saying this. I DID NOT MAKE THIS MOD. ALL CREDITS GO TO THE ORIGINAL CREATOR MUKCEP

This project has gone from person to person but was never completed. I was able to get the mod through a friend who told me that no one is willing to complete at this point so it will most likely stay the way it is now. If I had known how to make mods, I would have done it myself, but I don't know a thing about coding to begin with, so I'm asking the entire ArmA Modding Community to help finish it and hopefully release it to the public in a Beta or even a complete form and to continue working on it from there.

While I don't know how to make a mod either, I will report any bugs I find that might be outside what you have in your OP. I wish you the best in completing this epic project for the coolest transport of them all in my opinion.

First issue I have noticed is in the editor: No icon for the plane. Makes placing it, well...difficult at best, funny to deadly at worst.

That's weird, because for me, there is an icon.

Thanks for that Sonsalt!

Noted Sonsalt, the play.withsix mod is screwed up, it does not load the icon in-game, nor will the C-17 appear in-game

Good job! I currently have the C-17 mod from ArmA 2 and I have ported it over to ArmA 3 for private use. I currently have most things working on my privately used mod. I have fixed the seating for the passengers going through them, and I have also fixed players jumping out and dying. If you need any help with the current issues on your C-17 mod, just go ahead and PM me. I will be glad to give you my files that I have modified. There are also "hidden" features in Desktop's C-17. Like user 18 (forgot the actual number) makes the plane take off a lot quicker/increases speed.

Edit: Oh ya... I have also added ArmA 3 engine particle effects on the engines.

Here are a couple of videos that I have made

Ignore the seating bug in this video. It was not fixed when I recorded this.

I will pm you now randomslap. Thank you!

Thanks for sending us the newest version :cool:

C-17 Globemaster lll v0.2 alpha

Its about time a C-17 is released. I have seen many images and videos all over the internet and even different versions of the craft (playable, in-game ones) in clans/groups modpacks or on someones youtube channel that it seems like the craft is for private use only. As far as I know, this is the first public release of a C-17. Thanks for that!

This is awesome!!! I tested it and made some nice Screenshots and Videos. But there are Bugs which i noticed:

-If you put AI or Player in Cargo they will sit kinda weird.

-You can use the Rear Ramp Action everywhere within a 15-20 Meter Radius to the plane :?

-You can run thru the whole plane which is kinda funny.

I think you already know about all these points but i just wanted to remind you of them.

One the other hand:

-The plane looks great and can load even more then just 4 litte HMMWV`s. I made it to load 3 M2A3 Bradley`s and 2 Stryker with a HMMWV.

-The Cockpit is just awesome. But there are only 2 seats which is kinda strange if you have 2 co-pilots and one navigator.

Here are a few pictures:

Thanks for letting me know about that, I will update my post with it. Also, the seats for the Co-Pilot and Navigator were not made I believe, if I knew how to model, I would make them.

Thanks for sending us the newest version :cool:

C-17 Globemaster lll v0.2.1 alpha

Hi,

is it possible to remove that shiny layer all over the plane ? i noticed that on a few planes ported from a sim too.

it look´s like a skin over the real outside surface.

Thanks for the MOD! Really pleased with it, good job mate. Mind, I am having difficulties entering the cockpit, whereas my player is standing halfway through the cockpit window in a weapon drawn position. Any ideas what could be causing this? I am asking because somebody above commented on how awesome the cockpit looked, so I am assuming it's probably just me having this issue. I am running game version 1.12. Here's some images of this issue... https://imageshack.com/i/mw9js0p and https://imageshack.com/i/5njny8p. Any way thanks again for the MOD will look forward to further updates.

Cheers.

But you noticed the Mod is for ArmA 2 right?

Wow! I feel like the stupidest man alive. I was just browsing through Armaholic news and this mod popped up, guess I was still asleep(good excuse?), so like an excited child I clicked and downloaded without checking what Arma version it's actually for. Anyway thanks for spotting my now apparent obvious Patrick Stewart face-palm worthy error. But, now I know I can use this as a prop for A3 mission making, so not all is lost.

Cheers

Your excuse is valid! Try the C-17 in ArmA 2, u will love it :)

I'm working on that, but I haven't been able to find out.

I think that has to be done in the rvmat file.

Awesome thank you. I live near McChord AFB these things fly over the house everyday. Cant wait to try in a mission.
