Any plans on making the mod compatible with JSRS 2025?
SaWools 2 Jun @ 4:51pm 
Can you make this compatible with AWESome: Aerial Warfare Enhanced Somehow? When Both mods are combined at high speeds you start swaying back and forth like crazy. On their own it doesn't happen with either.

@YouKnowNotMyName - Sorry for the delay...
It's hard to do anything with it, especially to set it to the Jets DLC standard, since you have to change some values in the .p3d file to enable the dynamic loadout.
What I can do is fix all the bugs and improve the textures.

This is a bit of a niche request but do you think you could do the F/A-18X "Black Wasp" predecessor to the F/A-181?
I always thought it was cool how both in and out of universe the F/A-18X was essentially the prototype for what eventually became the F/A-181, because the mod turned into the DLC.
I love using them in air operations as fighter-bombers but the flight models are horribly outdated, slow, and they have no weapon options.

It's been largely forgotten and overlooked by the DLC but I think it's a perfect half-step between the hornets we know irl and the armaverse take on a future hornet variant.
Plus I think the model is basically just a block 3 super hornet, so it's not even that "futuristic" anymore.
It's kinda just... contemporary.

@Midway💠 - Yes, I'm already working on it ;)

@Davewinkleman - thanks man <3 <3 <3

@Spartan 208 - In the gryphon there are no plans for the double rack Maverick due to the use of the real Gripen as a base, while in the Black Wasp I have plans for new weapons, including the double rack Maverick.

@Zandrus - I'm already working on these units... they'll be available soon.

Using the original dark grey livery for specific squadrons is genius. Always A fan of new textures. Have some Steam points for all your hard work. :NATO::FIA::CSAT::ALTIS::AAF:
