I guess your new update does not include the BAFX addons? So I have to merge the new rangemaster folder with the BAFX from the 2.7 release?

yeah thats right fox, or maybe make a new BAFX page and we'll keep them separate?

A few questions:

Do both packs require eachother or are they standalone?

Do both packs have the same requirements?

Can you check the description of both pages and let me know what needs to be changed, if possible please be as clear as you can cause its hard to see what is what in this thread :)

ok fox sorry for the confusion

i recently edited the pages at PWS

these have the correct descriptions and requirements for the two packs

+1 on separating BAF but perhaps keep it in this tread and have just separated releases?

BTW latest version w. beta patches is beast! :cool:

Don't know if this is known/has been mentioned, but the BAF A-10 has US markings.

Also, are you still planning on adding the Tornado?

yeah the RAF doesn't fly A-10's. Consider it a loan from the USAF.

at some point we will add the tornado, the F111 and the Su22.

we also have a bradley family and a new CVRT and Chieftain in the workshop along with a host of new weapons, rearm module, resources module (so the refueling, siphon, knives and bayonets work outside of my evo mission), a fleet of new technicals and the rest of the Tyrian faction to build, oh and a rework of a new vehicleclass "Artillery"

To learn more, follow this guide.

Great, thanks for all your work and the updates. :)

Working knives is a great idea for covert ops) Bayonets for close combat)

yeah atm the scripts are embedded in my evo missions only, but for unsung mod columdrum showed me how to make them a module, as part of the mod itself. this is what is coming. for now, you can enjoy them in the evo mission. also the rifle butt works. it disarms your enemy after you smash his face

: )))

What?!? Rifle but as a weapon to disarm enemy?! Whoa... guys you are the best! Just one comment regarding the TIGoggles... as of now they are pretty useless because althouygh they are handled as if binoculars but they dont have the zoom of binoculars and IMHO o think that having thermal Goggles should come with being able to hold your weapon simultaneusly (and shoot it ofcourse) at the same time as wearing those goggles... so i think should be fixed in the future. Other than that... GREAT WORK! I love that there is still somebody caring for the development of arma2 despite the fact that arma3 is for some years active... Hats down you guys deserve some credit for this...

Do you have plans to make Gaz Tiger vehicle?

the goggles are an experiment. useful tool to carry if you wish to scan bushes while walking point.

to make them work as wearable goggles is very difficult as NVGoggles do not seem to have an optics mode as such (like helicopter gunsight or sniper rifle).

i could probably achieve it using eventhandlers or action menu or something, but i felt it was useful as is. if you want a thermal vision weapon, take one from the crate hehe.

for thermal and zoom try the rangefinder or laser designator or ACR's target locator

What?!? Rifle but as a weapon to disarm enemy?!

game on at the moment - interrogating enemy officer

Tornado GR4 coming soon...

Finally huh :) The need right now is a good "combat" texture. The 5 textures we have are pretty basic, just some nose art and tail art. We also have some "airshow" textures with "anniversary" painted on them but really who wants to fly that. If any artists are interested, the "paint kit" of Photoshop templates can be found here. I will certainly welcome any attempts at camo textures:

https://onedrive.live.com/?id=5B54FC51A7917265%2116634&cid=5B54FC51A7917265&group=0

I did find a way to add running lights to the swept wings with some scripting. So it doesn't have the "standard" markerlights, but it does get the job done! Also those green nav strips as in the pics!

I added articulated nozzles on the engines based on speed, as well as variable afterburner jets. The nozzles are spot-on and are based on speed, but the jets may need to be redone as they may be too long. I haven't seen enough photos of tornado afterburner effects to be able to validate its accuracy. Cool to watch however! The variable swept wings are also based on speed, so they will not clutter your action menu with extraneous "junk" actions like "extend wings" or anything like that. The flight computer does it for you :D

Loadouts will be accurately depicted, no unrealistic "dumptruck" of bombs. The wingtips are typically ECM pods, and the inner wing contains pylons for AIM9 or other short-range AAM's. The main wing pylons often carry fuel tanks, but will sometimes carry the larger bombs. Everything else fits underneath on the 4 belly pylons. All based on real life data, and footage of real birds. Since some of that is "demonstration" if of course sometimes is depicted with far more bombs that it would really carry, and that's been taken into consideration. The intent of this is a STRIKE BOMBER so if you compare it say to an F-111 or a Su-34, you will understand the roles are almost exclusively A-G attack/strike. You certainly won't see a Tornado dogfighter! LOL :D

So a typical loadout may be ECM+FUEL+4x AAM+ "AGM" ordnance of some sort.... 12x brimstones (yep), 12x CBU, 4x AGM, 4x bombs, etc. The smaller bombs can of course result in a larger ordnance loadout. So when the rearm menu is working, we'll have the option for a good all-around selection. I am also adding ALARM missiles since of course the Tornado is the premier British SEAD/DEAD strike bomber. The nature of our anti-radar missiles in game warrants the need to only require a few ALARM's and a greater emphasis on the secondary weapons such as CBU's, AGM's, etc. once the radar is taken out. So the pics online of a Tornado carrying 7x ALARM missiles, while really cool, won't really be "usable" in-game. That's the basis behind the decisions for the weapons it will be carrying. No ADV version at this time. A good reference I've been using to validate the loadouts:

http://www.tornadosig.com/

The ECM pods are a WIP item. For now just eye candy. We still plan to continue the testing of "fake flares" for the ECM pods if you use them, and if you dump them you lose all your countermeasures. Fuel tanks will be as with the other planes an extra fuel source (siphon fuel) as I've done before, and a loss of a percentage of fuel if you dump them. All these items to be released in the future.

The cockpit it pretty basic, just the gauges in the correct places. Nothing fancy as it isn't really necessary and just takes too much damn time to polish that turd, so to speak :) In fact the WSO seat has no gauges right now, but who knows what will happen in the future. The idea obviously being he's going to be heads-down into his scope anyway. But again we'll see what happens... I might get some time to sit down and spend an evening building those gauges.

I think we are going to knock it around in-game before we release it, just in case there are some issues. Of course if you're interested in playing with the beta version I'm sure you could find it on my Onedrive :)

Overall I'm happy we'll finally be able to play with this bird. I'm not 100% happy with the flight model, as it seems a bit over-powered to me, but it may be right where it needs to be.

also an F-111 from Crash and his team is on its way.

am just reworking the proxies and (hopefully) bomb bays and making 10 loadout variants

if (isServer) then

waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"}; LHD1 call BIS_EW_fnc_createLHD;

i changed a couple of the models but kept the p3d the same as the bis ones, and made a patch of their stock classes, so my modified ship spawns perfectly!
