OH-58A/C is the "Kiowa" OH-58D is the "Kiowa Warrior" AH-64A/D without Radar is the "Apache" AH-64D with Longbow Radar is the "Longbow Apache" In practice, the Longbow Radar is often removed because it's not very helpful in fighting insurgents, and removing it saves a bit of weight. On that note, I have to say that my favorite combat helicopter is the Apache, but I'm biased because I worked on them for 6 years.

It has been fun guys! Hope that you like it, and cannot wait to get back online this summer after school and really fly the crap outa this model online!

Also, if you have any problems with the model, please read the readme, as well as the FAQ first. I'll post the FAQ here A-10 FAQ Note: Please install the A-10 Mod using the latest modman 6.3.0.1 to avoid any problems. Q: Will this mod be compatible for 1.02 A: This model was never intended for 1.02 and we never did test with it, so if you want to play with it using 1.02, that will be up to your discretion. Q: How will the new A-10 model affect FPS? A: Of course with a new model you can expect a small hit in fps compared to the stock model. Just like any other increase in eye candy, install this model if you feel your system is up to the task. But in my personal experience as well as the other beta testers, we found the new A-10 model ran at a reasonable fps. Q: Help! I’m getting some real bad fps with the new A-10 A: Again, as stated above, only install this if you feel like your system is up to the task. However, here’s a tip, we found that if the skins were in the temptexture folder, it significantly decreased fps- almost to a gridding halt. This is partially due to the massive four 2048x2048res bmp files for skins. So PLEASE MAKE SURE all skins and all future skins would be packed into the cdds format. You can still release skins in bmp files, but to the users, you should pack it into cdds format. This would dramatically save a lot of fps. If you don't know how to do the coversion, please follow the excellent tutorial made by Cosmonaut. CDDS Tutorial Version 3 http://cosmonaut1.wordpress.com/2008/02/09/cdds-tutorial-version-3/ Q: I found some details on the A-10 are missing; will there be an update in the future? A: No, there will not be any updates to the Hog. The Sim-mod team will move onto other projects. Some details were not incorporated either due to fps reasons or the object was too small (hence it caused more trouble than it’s worth). In addition, any changes to the model itself might destroy the unwrap. Q: Walmis F-15 had regular updates, why can’t we have it on the A-10? A: Walmis F-15 had the ability to be updated since it used the same skin as the stock F-15 (but a lot of parts didn’t fit). It was also an ongoing project when he released it to the public, ours is a completely finished model with all the works and new skin. So I believe you will be satisfied with the amount of detail that went into this model. It is currently the most detailed A-10 model in any simulator that I am aware of. (And it’s free too!) Q: Is the new A-10 compatible with other mods? A: We found during our testing that some mods were incompatible. Since our A-10 replaces the original Meinit file, there are a couple things that you have to manually do in order to get other mods to work. (this has been covered in the Readme file). SIM-MOD will attempt to help where they can with integration with some of the other fantastic mods available out there, but we cannot make any guarantees. Please note the following mods: ·Walmis F-15 - if you wish to have both walmis F-15 and Sim-mod’s A-10, install the F-15 first, and then install the A-10, followed by the A-10+F-15 Compatibility package. ·ADA Mod - again, like the F-15, install the ADA mod first and then the A-10, followed by the A-10+ADA compatibility package ·ADA Mod AND Walmis’ F-15 - install ADA mod first, then Walmis F-15, and finally the A-10 along with the A-10+ADA+F-15 compatibility package. Note that this configuration DOES NOT support Walmis’ weapons mod. ·Static object pack - Keep in mind other mods that affect the meinit file also doesn’t work, such as the static object pack. If you want that to work, you must install the A-10 first, then manually edit the meinit file to include the static object pack…etc. ·Walmis weapons pack - It is also recommended to uninstall walmis weapons pack because the AIM-9 didn’t rotate properly on some machines. Q: Will the A-10 have a more accurate payload? A: YES, we have changed the A-10’s loadout so it would reflect the real A-10 loadout. Almost everything that the real A-10 carries can be found in this mod- except the Snake-eyes bombs. We had some trouble with the rotation and since that would require changing how the bomb behaves in the air, it won’t be allowed on several servers so it caused more trouble than its worth. Q: Is the SIM-MOD A-10A compatible with Shepski's weapons mod A: No the SIM-MOD A-10A has unique pylon locations that would conflict with Shepski's mod. However, most of the changes in the SIM-MOD A-10A include many of the real world payloads that Shepski and Iguana King made. Q: Are Merc's MER's (multiple ejector racks) compatible with the SIM-MOD A-10A? A: Thanks to some close work with Merc, we have a new and improved MER and integration with new LAU-61 and LAU-68WP rocket packs. Q: Will the new A-10 have been FM? A: Sorry no, remember this is just a new model. The model doesn’t affect the FM in any way. Q: Can we use the old skins on the new A-10? A: No, due to the significant change in shape and detail on the new A-10, we felt creating a new set of skin was in order. Plus, I believe you will find the many skins that our skinners have made are very beautiful. We will also be releasing a template for future skinners. Q: Why doesn’t the engine spin during flight like the Su-25T? A: Its hardcoded. Based off of what ED gave us for the .lom exporter, there’s no argument number that allows the engines to continue spinning during flight. So, we made some clever workarounds. For example, on the ground, the engine rotation is attached to the wheels. So as the wheels spin, so does the engines. Once you are in flight, the engine rotation becomes blurry so it looks like its still spinning. It’s the best option we have and I applaud Yeniceri and TekaTeka for coming up with this idea. Q: How come there’s no radical damage model like engines falling off….etc (similar to the Su-25T). A: Although at one point we experimented with new damage model ideas, it did not work properly due to how the damage script was written. Hence, it was hardcoded. Therefore, we dramatically improved the old damage model’s position. Q: Why doesn’t the A-10 have the correct flashing strobe/nav lights A: Hardcoded Q: Why is there a red/green illumination at the bottom of each wing? A: It was hardcoded, so we can’t move its position. Q: Can we have a fire flash in front of the A-10 gun? A: sorry no, due to the hardcode, we cannot have that effect appear every time we press the trigger for the gun. Q: Does the A-10 Gun spin when you press down the trigger? A: No, there was no such argument # when building the model. And here's some screens for you guys to make you drool over while you download Here's some screens for you guys

Ok guys.. I'm up for it.. Bring it on..!! You guys gonna have a new Hi detailed a-10 model and thats a personal promise of mine.. First.. please give me any kind of material you have about a-10.. Second.. where is the modified model of a-10 lo-fi worked on..that model could make things happen much faster..If its lost in linbo of models, then where is the hi poly model..Even if thats lost..than gimme the 3 way blueprints.. This doesnt mean that the plane comes out from the poll is going to be late or fade out.... We have a little "=TuAF= Skunk Works" team here..It will be done..Both.. Lets do this ppl..Lets fly the hog :)

Hello guys! :) As you all know, the guys over at SIM-MOD.COM has been working hard for a long time on this A-10 model, and here is my little contribution to the project. A very short promo, took me about 7-8 hours total to get it done. And sadly, somehow, i *forgot* to show off the damage model! :cry: But we all know it's there! :D Enjoy guys :) Download link: http://www.virtual-jabog32.de/index.php?section=downloads&subcat=28&file=879&lang=en Youtube link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FukSk0c8DtA

Great Job to all involved :thumbup::thumbup:.. I will be going through the list giving reps to everyone I can :v:

TO the OP: The possibility for you programming your MFD is there, since there are LUA exports of various flight devices - at least in LOMAC. I can't comment on BS right now since I'm under NDA.

ahh... yeah. it pissed me off royally when I first saw it. I tell ya, it was nerve wrecking cuz I was sure it was going to call me porn boy but it didn't... phew... :D

APQ-171 TFR http://www.ausairpower.net/TE-AUP-1995.html

There exists many AH-64Ds without radar as well, and they are known as Apaches, like the AH-64As. Only the AH-64Ds which have radar are called Longbows (or Apache Longbow), as it's the radar itself which is named Longbow. Read about the different D-variants here: http://members.aol.com/ah64info/difference.htm

The AH-64A/D does not exist, only AH-64A without radar and AH-64D with the radar Longbow

And therein lies the danger...........short of visually aquiring a launch in the Shark, there is no other way in which you are going to be forewarned! Having a feature that is akin to a MLWS and even more - imminent impact warning - to name but one, is probably not the best idea and would inevitably open the floodgates to a plethora of other 'features', in all probability adding to the detriment of the simulation - specifically in a Multiplayer environment. Probably not such a Good idea IMHO.........;)

There ya go ruining the surprise:gun_smilie:

Камуфляжная схема раскраски, как раз и готовится в данный момент.;)

The hitman is on the way for even asking ;)

:huh: Check and make sure that the meinit.xml has been installed with modman. This is where all of the skins are located. When you install the package with modman it will warn you that overwriting the meinit.xml is dangerous.. this is normal, but you do need to do it to make the mod work. If the file has been installed there should be a green box next to it like this: If it isn't, you can change modman to file by file mode, and highlight then install this file at the bottom.

Tell us your pc specs Plus you need to run on widescreen ratio 1.6

its for modman

Finally! Considering the nature of Black Shark, this(and the Avenger) should be the very first ground vehicles to remake :) . But IMHO it would have been better to texture it with the camouflage paint scheme.

Mustang Very Nice History

It's come a long way since last august.......

Тема слита... сюда.

Really great and awesome job!!!! SIM-MOD!!! Proud of this community too. From all the "ECV56" , Thank you very much!!! :thumbup:;) ECV56 - Turco.

Great work guys. :thumbup:

Awesome! Thanks!!! :thumbup:

wtf? are you serious get a life dude..... :D Only kidding :smilewink: Sweet work Shaggy, well done. :thumbup: Argument 40 IIRC

Согласен с Валерой. Достаточно удобно "выглядывать" и "выискивать".

Годится или слишком? рендер к сожалению бяка(( Конструкция весит 15 тысяч, но при учете того, что кузов почти весь состоит из боксов, уложиться в 30К вполне реально...

Не-не, утрировать все-таки не стоит. Виды, как ни загибай, в данном конкретном случае, - вторичны. Гланое именно начинка: правильная реализация авионики, ФМ, системы повреждений и ИИ.

Big S! to Yeniceri and the whole SIM-MOD team, it has been a rollercoaster of a ride and now we've reached the end, it's been a pleasure to be a part of it all! :D

There are a few other files for this project too ;) SIM-MOD A-10A Readme.pdf http://www.mediafire.com/?wkbwsy0x2ja Seriously, read the readme... there is a LOT of information in there that will help you customise your hog!

Great Job GA !!! Actually we used Rich Corinthian leather on the ejection seat. Kept the ladder through out the gauges what ya have a HUD.I am sure we still have a chance at Plane of the year. You can have one for you personal air force for the lo low price of only 8.5 million US dollars only please :pilotfly:

Once again, thanks guys. Rich

Да, опытным путем установлено на пмв берут из радарных только ЭМ

Здесь больше зависит от настроения человека, которого собьешь мэддогом. Если его и так все задолбали, он пришел расслабиться в любимый сим на сервер, где хорошие (с его позиции) правила, а тут ты со своим меддогом :doh:. А если чел просто резвится (взлетел, выпил, сбили, взлетел), то чихал он на мэддоги и ничего фиксировать никуда не пойдет. Вот провести аналогию с ПДД. Если бы их не было, как ты думаешь, сколько народу, стоя с утра в пробке, дергало бы на встречку? А сейчас далеко не каждый дергает, потому что знает, что в случае неудачи за это придется заплатить ;).

А вот за это можно бан на форуме схватить =) Вроде как такие темы правилами запрещены. Ну вообще отпиши мне в личку. Я давно отломал старфорс у ЛО.

Yer, like most of the AAC guys I guess :thumbup:

greetings again , right click the graphics config. file . these pics may help you on your way . cheers again .

Rolling along...
