New stub-winged Blackfoot in 2.20 is technically speaking more capable (as the pylons can now be changed), but it lacks this top radar that adds this advanced vibe...

@Ace, I've tried to edit the p3d file, managed to grab the radar model and add it to the classic blackfoot model, it partially work, but then in game the model is bugged : windows are opaque from inside, a logo appears on the side, and I can't change the texture.

@Largo, if you still want the files, there's a Github for this. If the 3D stuff is there, you'll be able to use it. It's under APL-SA. You have to share whatever you change.

Hello
Il it possible to have a version with the radar dome but wuthout the stub wings ? Or would you accept to provide such 3d model (for personal use only) ?
Thanks

Radar detection should not be changed to more than 8 kilometers. This is ArmA, not DCS. Using real world radar values ends up covering the whole map and quickly stops being fun or balanced. See also what happens when Pook aircraft go against vanilla.

This is just an upgrade of the vanilla AH-99. Don't muck with the radar. Inherit the values from vanilla. Don't like it? Make a mod to change vanilla.

Mod is fine as is. More pylon options would be sweet but it's still awesome as is.

Back in the day Firewill did similar mods for the Blackfoot and the Ghost Hawk, and got around the door issue.

I don't know if they still have those files, but if you can find the mod (Firewill discontinued it) it might help solve some of the issues you're having.

Radar detection range should be changed to more than 8 kilometers

and i am a big fan of you

Viper thanks for the info

Would be awesome to see the Comanche without vertical fins on the tail stabiliser, like here https://www.moddb.com/games/arma-2/addons/tgw-rah-66-commanche
Sleeker, cooler and still grounded in reality as the other prototype was without these extra fins https://sites.google.com/site/stingrayslistofrotorcraft/boeing--sikorsky-rah-66-comanche

I love it.
Just read about bays. Too bad. So, maybe an alternate version with bays closed and only pylons?

The UH 80, needs the same work.

Looking forward more textures added into the MOD.

I love that this is under APL-SA and wish more mod authors would do this. This means we can update and remix the mod so long as we provide credit.

this is exactly what ive been looking for since I started playing arma. Gotta ask tho, can you add an option or variant to remove the longbow style radar?

I don't any issue about the weapons bays being stuck open, if anything it makes it look cooler

Will you be adding more pylon options ?
Like 5 ASRAAMS

Well I've retextured the hull from base arma 3. Does the pylons pull its texture from anywhere?

with how its setup I don't think its possible

Hey! Do you have the hidden selections for the additional rack? Wanted to change the color of this thing.

Doesn't appear as spawnable in Zeus for some reason in MP. Not sure if just me but have tried to recreate the issue on multiple terrains, same issue.

Hey man, Please make an option to hide the radar tip. please xoxo

Seriously awesome stuff! Might get me to switch over from being a Kajman guy. Have you ever thought about doing something similar adding weapon pylons to the Ghost Hawk? That thing would be so awesome as a gunship.

I think you should take a look at what Firewill did here https://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30453
The mod is called AH-99R Mohican, he made the pylons into an add-on that can be equipped at the ammo truck, the thing is, he made it back in 2016 before the virtual garage update and the jets DLC release, which means that the helicopter won't show up in the virtual garage, I modded it a bit and managed to make it show up in the VG but it would be without pylons so you have to land it near an ammo truck to change the loadout.
The bay doors can be opened, and the pylons have 4 hardpoints in total.
It would be better If you can get Firewill's permission to update the mod.

Won't be doing a compat mod sorry, others are free to do so though. Feel free to repack as its open source just stick to apl-sa

Also Can I repack this mod into our server mod pack?

Can you add FIR AWS compat? I would like to use FIR arsenal on those additional pylons

i use aegis mod and most use ah99 black but i hope black color kit

What ACE features would you like to see?

ACE Compatibility?

it doesn't no, I'm open to ideas though as I'm unsure about all that stuff and would happily use some direction on what would be best balanced

does this mod have an extended radar range?

would love to include a version in the leviathan mod, DAGA arms industries would make a great addition to the lore.

No matter the outcome, thank you for your effort.

I looked into doing the uh80 however it sadly doesn't have any pylon proxies so this method wouldn't work on it. I'll see what I can do

Please do the uh-80... firewill's is unfortunately not as up to date as this.

good

holy shite, this is amazing.

Something that could be nice would be to make the modded variant version have a slightly bigger radar signature than the vanilla version, since the external pylons would increase the RCS.

It's identical in principle, my method is completely different from firewills as it uses vanilla pylons.

Wasn't this originally from FireWill ?
