Desert storm ops about to be hell

[sick jay]

I was looking into the B2 but that thing probably won’t fit on any runways with how wide it is 🤣

[bold meteor]

Dude tell me why I thought about getting a computer after this gov shutdown to make a B2😂😂

If I do I prob fig out how to make land Vic’s first then make air Vic’s

[bold meteor]

Yk a b52 might work

[sick jay]

Those wings are huge too 🤣

[boreal solstice]

Do we have an idea when this will be released?

[sick jay]

Not 100% sure, I might be switching the model out for another one. Still need to do all the animations and bones for it in blender.

[tall lagoon]

id avoid skecthfab

[sick jay]

Okay, There was couple other sites Ive been checking out, just been playing around with different ones

[sick jay]

Any recommendations?

[sick jay]

So I ended just buying my own model and I’ll be going off of that.

[tall lagoon]

cg trader is great, still do some research before you buy anything.

[sick jay]

I was messaging the guys from R3D project and they directed me to a website, I ended up getting a model. It’ll definitely need some cockpit work but the plane itself look to be solid. Just need to put some bones in it and start the testing

[torn lodge]

Strait peak

[boreal river]

This looks amazing 🔥

[hollow scarab]

This is so peak

[sick jay]

Thanks! Colliders are done. Messing with VC then throwing it in

[hollow scarab]

You are cooking 🍳

Super hyped for your mods! Been following your progress bc it’s all so peak

[sick jay]

Heck yeah dude; appreciate the support!

[hollow scarab]

Keep up the great work Plague!

[sick jay]

Should be getting this thing in the air tonight.

[shut mirage]

@sick jay you gonna do more migs like 21,23,29

If you do a 23 I'd love to see it alongside a f14

[sick jay]

My guys with project realism have a line up. They just publish a F15

[sick jay]

They definitely have a list they are working on, I’m doing more of the stealth stuff

[shut mirage]

Ahhh fair I thought you were doing all lol

[sick jay]

After this I plan to make a 30x30 map that’s mainly for air stuff, then do the B2, and then the KC-135 Stratotanker for air refueling.

[shut mirage]

Ye

if you wanna see what they are working on

[vocal crow]

oooh fancy!

👍

hopefully it didnt end up being a warthunder model. 😅

[sick jay]

Nah, I paid for this one off of Turbo, it’s legit

There’s a lot of difference from the war thunder model

[vocal crow]

you probably would be surprised how many sellers on those sites are not legit. 😅 it is no guaranteed

[sick jay]

🤣 I’ve been told, guess I’m gonna find out 👌

[vocal crow]

can you DM me the page? I can probably check it out at some point

[sick jay]

https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-lockheed-f117-nighthawk-stealth-aircraft-2320872

[vocal crow]

which license did you get btw?

did you notice the model is for editorial use only?

the seller seems legit enough from quick look

[sick jay]

I didn’t.. 😩 second one. I’ll need to keep looking around. I had 7 days to return it so I’ll get a refund and find another. Appreciate you looking out 🔥

[vocal crow]

you might be able to contact the seller to get a one that does not have trademark names like Lockheed that can be used for this kind of purpose

[sick jay]

Ohhh really 👀 , okay I’ll send that guy a message see, what I get back

[vocal crow]

in case you get one, please optimize the texturing 😅 13 8k textures is a lot

[sick jay]

This guy said that this one was game ready and playable. I’m still checking with him. And the textures are still being messed with. Substances was being a pain in the but for me

[dapper sand]

Hey this looks awesome, is this flyable just yet? keen to keep an eye on this

[fluid yarrow]

Looking real good cant lie

[bold meteor]

Damn so are we going into Kuwait tonight boys

[tawny mist]

the rise of fixed wing aircrafts in this game🔥

[sick jay]

Just got it flying now

[sick jay]

Thanks!! 😎

[sick jay]

Kuwait is about 30% done, looking to start doing testing on that map in December

[dapper sand]

Awesome

[sick jay]

Ill make a video

[dapper sand]

Looking forward to it 🙂

[sick jay]

Little surprise at the end XD

Some bones defiantly needs to me reworked but its in the air for now.

[dapper sand]

Lol don't worry I've done that plenty of times, it's looking 👌

[sick jay]

Thanks dude, it’s getting there. Loving seeing it all come together

[vocal crow]

This guy is the reason games need frame generation.

[shut mirage]

How's the stealth work

[sick jay]

Thats being programmed now. Tomorrow when im off of work. Need to fix some bones and then get the missles on and working.

[shut mirage]

Fair

[wild isle]

Where is this at??

[sick jay]

I think this is it

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/669527A2185F6FB9-F-15EStrikeEagle

[wild isle]

Bet thank you

[bold meteor]

[fluid yarrow]

Ive been waiting for this moment

[sick jay]

Tomorrow I’ll be making a very quick low res 30x30 map for all the air guys out there. Not a lot of building or details at all. But trees, roads to target conveys and valleys. @true gale found a spot 😎

[bold meteor]

MiG 21 in the future 👀

[sick jay]

@fringe umbra knows the forecast but I do believe that’s on the list soon.

[fringe umbra]

its in progress man, im building it in blender so its going to be a litlle bit before its ready to show

[true gale]

Its gonna be so sick 👌🔥

[fluid yarrow]

Looking good

[vocal crow]

please make sure to clear lockheed logos and names and such trademarks off the texturing

and get that licensing in order before anything is released

[bold meteor]

The US Air Force logos and the star ?

And the unit logo?

[vocal crow]

one needs to make sure any logo or such is used with permission /license that approves such use

manufacturer markings usually are not such

[bold meteor]

I think the unit logo is fine cause I can use my unit logo anytime and it just says the major name at the cockpit because that’s who flew it pretty sure and the star on the side of the aircraft is free reign in games it’s not really enforced

[bold meteor]

Nah especially not on our Vehicles unless it has the brand name but from the looks bro is good to go unless he adds the brand names or do what war thunder do and actually get the schematics

[sick jay]

It’s all clear.

[sick jay]

Thanks dude

[fluid yarrow]

Just a question but do you guys have a separate discord server to keep up on all your projects

[sick jay]

https://discord.gg/SpDWthMnc

Then if you follow my maps that’s on my teams discord

[fluid yarrow]

Thanks

[sick jay]

Going up for testing

[prisma venture]

Is it up already? I can't seem to find it

[sick jay]

It will only be live for testing on Project Realism 3D servers which you can join their DC to be a tester

[prisma venture]

I'll join the server then when it it's up

[sick jay]

Looks great man! Love the title 👌

[sick jay]

F-117 Nighthawk — Out For Teating

[vocal crow]

@sick jay testing maybe?

or is there 🍵 ?

[sick jay]

What do you mean buddy

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/66983EEF0ADACFBD-LockheedF-117Nighthawk

it’s published under Testing. Trying to see what the community finds

Would I need to change the name of the project to just F-117 Nighthawk 🤔

[vocal crow]

the title says teating

[sick jay]

Yeah it’s published under testing.

[vocal crow]

dis

[sick jay]

Ohh 🤣🤣

F-117 Nighthawk — Out For Testing

Thank you sir 🫡 😂

[sick jay]

Tinkered with all the lights, and got that left side landing gear light working.

[prisma venture]

This might be known but why is there the a-10 display on the f-117 display

[boreal river]

Loving the mod! One thing ive noticed tho is the bombs don’t drop is that a bug or are they just not finished yet?

[sick jay]

You’ll need to hit “shift-n” then the fire button.

[sick jay]

I put the wrong one on there. That’s been fixed already 😅

[jagged chasm]

For base console controls is left and right bumper, pc controls is shift+V If I am right, then left click and right trigger to shoot

[boreal river]

Thank you!

[sick jay]

Some fan pictures out of Project Realism community

[ivory blade]

Used it in a PVE Operation during Operation Enduring Freedom have retired USAF guys in my dizzy wanted me to give a few suggestions If it's going to have just two bombs it would be nice if the radius was a lot bigger makes it worth flying in real they were designed to take out huge areas it's a really nice aircraft though ya'll did a awesome job

[sick jay]

The plan was to up the pounds from 1k to 5k until 1.6 came out for laser guided. My buddy is suppose to be making new bombs for this, he's just been working on other jets. Got any video of the run 👀

[ivory blade]

I will go find out if he recorded one if not we can make a suoer nice video haha

[ivory blade]

thats awesome sounds way better!

[sick jay]

F-117 Nighthawk will be down until its dependencies come back up.

[polar ferry]

Any news on the dependencies

[sick jay]

Still waiting on Adam with R3D to update his in order for our to work

[pure dock]

Hey are there any news?

[sick jay]

It’s coming together.

@fringe umbra and Boobyhill have been working everyday to perfect not only the jets but more

Things to look forward to and that are currently working.

Laser guided missiles
GPS guided missiles
The Jets themselves (not all) have a stall feature.

Bobby hill has created the LDRs.

They are just doing finer touches to the whole core to make sure kt game ready for the community. They had to start from complete scratch on this.

[pure dock]

Thats so dope please let me know when its done, im 100% using it as much as i can, if you need a group of tester i got a small group who can use it (8-15 people) dm me if you need help or testers!

thank you so much :)

[steep token]

Is this your own flight model?

[sick jay]

Yes

[steep token]

Looks sick!

[sick jay]

Thanks man, needs some work done but its moving lol

[steep token]

Looks very fluid instead of being jerky like jets used to be

[sick jay]

Thanks man, didn't take long to figure it out, legit a 3am joke that turned into a flying nighthawk

[steep token]

Do you think there could be the possibility of an inertia system in the future similar to Arma 3?
