VQI - H.A.L.O.

Description
**THE MOD AUTHOR HAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO UPLOAD THIS MOD**
**ALL CREDIT GOES TO VON QUEST FOR THIS MOD!**


This will be my first official Addon for the ArmA community! This HALO System will allow you to Jump from sub-orbital altitudes over 70,000ft from the mysterious rumored stealth drone "Vampyre". Other standard militray aircraft are also supported, such as the C-130, C17, and Russian IL76.

- Now includes the XHR-1 Vampyre Stealth Sub-Orbital Drone in v1.4!
- Now includes Low-Level, No-Gear-Required, Jumps in v1.2!
- Supported: Lockheed C-17 Globemaster!
- Supported: Ivory Aircraft - IL-76 (limited support)

This sub-orbital XHR-1 "Vampyre" can fly over 70,000ft and is meant to roleplay a Reconnaissance and secret H.A.L.O platform for 2035.

The included Altimeter will be reading Barometric Pressure. ASL, Above-Sea-Level. You should know the Altitude of the DropZone and plan ahead. Tracking over 2km while in FreeFall is possible; more if under canopy for a HAHO. The jump location and altitude will be random to start. Option to re-route Flight possible. System should work for most ArmA Maps.

There is a helmet-view complete with custom sounds and dramatic environmental effects! Your visor can (and will) fog-up, freeze over, can crack, etc. There will be thermal layers and accurate and varied temperatures displayed for most ArmA Maps and Climates. The temperature will also fluctuate with months, seasons, and time-of-day.

The Altimeter can be displayed by using your 'Watch' button while geared-up in your HALO Gear for any Keyboard or Gaming Controller. If you are NOT Geared-up properly, the JumpMaster will deny your Jump and you will have to recheck and repack your gear. The temperature at extreme altitude can reach -70*F with little to NO Oxygen!

Thermal Jumpsuit, Helmet, and Oxygen Supply IS required. ALL your Gear will be saved and packed into the Pack attached onto your front so you can Jump into the AO fully combat-ready! Water landings possible (and encouraged) for the Black-Ops operative you know you want to be!

JumpBuddy I:
Readouts in FT and M ASL
Compass Heading & Arrow
GPS Receiver (mapgrid)
Weather Radio (wind dir & kts)
SaO2 Readout (o2 saturation)
24hr Digital Clock
Temperature Readout
H.A.L.O. Black/Orange
(The JumpBuddy II and III are also in the works, but will not likely be released until next Fall/Winter if I have time. They will be more on the fictitious-end of the spectrum.)

Rickoshay, this mod has not been worked on since before 2017. There was supposed to be a new "AIO" mod done so that it didnt consist of multiple mods to do things. It was never done. If someone did work on something like it, it could be a big hit. i have not played arma 3 in a long time so its possible it could be in the game natively already. i dont know.

This is out of date. VQI posted a new version. Just use the one from the forums.
