JAS 39C Gripen Community Mod

[whisky.actual]

Good morning @everyone. Today we are presenting our WIP HUD for the JAS-39; a truly mind-bending piece of technology not seen in any other module currently. The JAS-39 has a curved HUD that gives you the impression of a spherical horizon. 

Also, our weapons developer is tweaking some of the animations such as on the Storm Shadow. 

Finally, we are re-working our old liveries to bring them up to our new model standards and now you can try it yourself with our new 1.8 Template!

**So when will this be all available? Well the team as started testing the 1.8 build and we are planning to share it with the community for Christmas!**

That's all for this week, stay safe and check six!

It seems that the latest OB breaks the cockpit animation -- at least the landing gear lever, flap lever and throttle animation. If it is already reported, I can overlook it as I can see a total revamp is on the way.

That's correct, v1.8 will address bugs that the OB and other patches caused.

hello,

very nice mod, but I can't download it in full because every time I want to unzip the file it tells me that it is not complete.

Good morning @everyone. Today we are presenting our last development progress report before our 1.8 release. Development is now frozen and we are currently testing and fixing bugs. First off, a new weapon in the JAS-39 arsenal: the MBDA SPEAR3 and its sister decoy! Secondly, we are hard at work in the cockpit enhancing the right console textures. Finally, we are re-working our liveries; I would like to thank the community @59th_Jack for his Hungarian liveries and @313_Paegas for his Czech liveries. You can try it yourself by downloading the template here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bUQmxAuzaUPY99OLZp0S1rzuvRuFK3OQ/view?usp=sharing

Good morning @everyone. Today a different type of post, our first tutorial for the JAS-39 Community Mod. Firstly we wanted to show everyone how to use our template to create their own liveries. Please feel free to ask your questions in the comments section on YouTube so that everyone can take advantage of our answers. Download the template here:

The AG will have the Russian white NVGs; now with dimmable they work very well. For the AA version, since the F15 does not have them we don't neither. We are investigating on how to adding them regardless of the base avionics.

Good morning @everyone. Today we wanted to share a few shots of the cockpit. During our testing, we noticed that we were missing some normals and roughmetals so we added them. Also, we added the brand-new textures to our base pack: USAF-805 and the SwAF bare metal. Testing continues and is going well, let's hope that the OB slated on the 22nd does not create more conflicts. That's all for this week, stay safe and check six!

Formating

OMG, Christmas comes slightly early this year!!!

Edit: how do I fire the AA cannon? I switch to cannon mode, weapon safety off, press the trigger but nothing happens... I am sure my mappings are correct.

Further tests:

Move all other aircraft mods away

Fresh install

Try the MiG-29 Fox 2  Instant Action mission, get the lock, HUD symbols are there but there is no guns, no missiles launching and I am very certain the safety is off.

Solved. Forgot about the MASS bindings.

Anyway, how does the ejeciont work?

Have a happy holiday.

There is a specific JAS-39 one that you need to bind.

I have done that, but it does not work.

Very nice update...but

In AA mode, radar always resets to 80, you can't go 20,40 or 160.

I've tried remove the A4 mod from the aircraft folder, but seems no change. Is there any other mod that could create issues that you are aware of?

Thanks

I have the A-4E-C too (v2RC3 to be exact) and I have no problem. I bind  the radar range control to a slider, actually for all mod based on F-15C and it works wonder.

Edit: I am going over to the official Discord server to register my issues. Keep up the good work and thank you.

I have it bind to a slider too, but if i change the value it resets itself to 80 all the time...

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

How about moving all the other mods away and try again?

Edit: time to make  short and quick vid:

Apparently this comes into conflict with the Eurofighter mod, when both of them are installed, all the ships and "vehicles" do not show up in the mission when in-flight, even when none of them is present in the mission.Removing either this or Eurofighter solves the problem...
