Hey Sparky, in regard to the F-37B VTOL landing thing, I recall reading somewhere that its tied to the aircraft's ability to taxi on the ground. I think it was from a forum for a much older F-35B mod that existed on Armaholic but idr

How to play this faction?

Not likely. I don't like how the AAV-9 looks and I plan on adding my own AAV-P7s instead.

Nice Mod! I wonder if you will add JSDF camos for AAV-9s?

The H235 and 240 and helicopters have coastguard liveries, they are intended to have SAR crew, not JMSDF. Eventually they'll get their own faction. Groups for the desert faction aren't really a priority right now. The firefighter is inheriting from the RF firemen, I'll likely not change the name as that would involve localizing the unit name into a lot of languages. Some assets don't have the correct picture as they are really similar to one another and I don't want to increase the filesize unnecesarely.

I'll look into everything else, thanks for the feedback!

Please drop that into the Bug Repors thread next time

JGSDF (Desert) - Doesn't have unit compositions.
JMSDF - Anti-Air - The whole section is not visible in Zeus
JMSDF - Helicopters - H235C Transport has Helicopter Pilot (SAR) instead of Helicopter Pilot.
JMSDF - Helicopters - H240C Transport has Helicopter Pilot (SAR) instead of Helicopter Pilot
JMSDF - Helicopters - H240 Transport has a wrong preview picture.

(Suggestion) JASDF - Men - Firefighter (Wildland) should not be called "Wildland" anymore.
(Suggestion) JMSDF - Helicopters - H235C Transport and H240C Transport are nearly identical, maybe you can keep just one?
(Suggestion) JMSDF - Helicopters - H240 Transport and MH-245 Cougar are nearly identical, maybe you can keep just MH-245 Cougar?

JASDF - Anti-Air - Pickup (AA) is not visible in Zeus.
JASDF - Anti-Air - Pickup (RCWS) is not visible in Zeus.
JASDF - Anti-Air - Skywarden AA is not visible in Zeus.
JASDF - Anti-Air - Skywarden AA doesn't have a preview picture.
JASDF - Men - Firefighter (Wildland) has a wrong preview picture.
JGSDF - Anti-Air - Type 17 Radar is not visible in Zeus.
JGSDF - Anti-Air - Type 17 SAM is not visible in Zeus.
JGSDF - APCs - AMV-7 (Unarmed) has a preview of AMV-7 (Medical)
JGSDF - APCs - Type 17 RCW (ATGM) is not visible in Zeus.
JGSDF - Drones - Kamel UGV (RCWS) has a preview of Kame UGV.
JGSDF - Trucks - Zamak Water is not visible in Zeus.

Thank you for your answer!

Also, great update!

Tested it and you fixed the previously mentioned problem.
Hope it is alright if I give you my tester feedback of what I found now.
All of them are just minor problems, nothing mod breaking, but I figured I will tell you in case you want to fix it.

My comment was longer than what Steam permits me to post, so I will split it in two.

I don't use Alive, everything is done through config work. For the unit previews I just use the vanilla function for it, googling it should be fairly easy. I haven't used any tutorials either, all I've figured out on my own or from others. As for the textures, that's a performance issue, not a mod issue.

Can I ask how did you add previews of the actual units into the mod?
I was trying to make some factions for personal use, using Alive, but no tutorial I found showed how to add that, only how to do the basic faction (and judging by the mods on the workshop - you are one of the few that actually know how to do it). I also had problem with the skins of vehicles glitching for a second after they were spawned - first showing the original skin of the vehicles, and only after the skin I chose.
Do you use Alive to make your factions or something else?
Do you have any tutorial that you used I could follow or you figured it out by yourself?
Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, Spain 2035 will eventually get the same treatment, I was actually working on the update before working on Japan 2035's current version, but I got sidetracked haha. I'll look into the firetruck not being zeus spawnable

I had the mod for a while and did not really use it, but when I saw there was an update I checked it out and it is now amazing! Really love the addition of the stuff from Creators DLCs! Especially addiding Pickups and Fire Truck - Probably the first mod I know that used the Fire Truck in the military setting.

Minor bug I found is that HEMTT Fire Truck does not show up in Zeus Editor (maybe just problem on my part).

I have even your Spain 2035 mod and I hope it will get the same treatment! Would love to see those Offroads replaced with Pick Ups (or at least Pick Ups just added as a secondary option), and Fire and Water truck added too. And maybe even Ambulace and MP van? haha

Anyway, very nice improvements! Great job!

Couldn't it be programmed to have a similar flight model as the MVSA-39J?

AI does not really like using VTOL in general, so probably not

Erm, should the F-37B be able to land vertically when piloted by AI? Kinda want them to be able to operate from an LPD or LHD

Congrats for the Update Sparky, Looks absolutely gorgeous!

Sure, go for it

Would you mind if I ask Antistasi ultimate mod devs if they can make there mod compatible with yours

Very nice to see an update!

I love this so much! All the teasers for the new Type 20 and units left me in deep anticipation for the update. Great work!

待ってました！

@Last-Aztec-Descendant I've never set up anything like that so, I don't know

Does this mod work with Antistasi ultimate mod

FR my new fav mod ong, phenomenal work!

yatta! yatta! of new update desu! thank you so much!

Banzai!!

jdf is so fuckin cool, this mod is dope

big thanks

Slowly working on it.

I'm still waiting RF H225 to Japan 2035 not Overhaul...

do you have any plan with the New content creator DLC?

There is a lot of custom content I would like to implement. However I have nor the time, money or know-how. So not really, no.

For new vehicles, is the Type 10/TKX planned?

Groups are not a priority. HEMTTs are not planned, the Zamaks are the closest thing to what the SDF uses irl.

and also plans to get the US transport truck instead of the current zamak? i feel like it would make the faction feel more professional

Are you also planning to add unit compositions for desert jsdf in zeus? right now its only the normal sdf who has squad comps

Not likely to happen. The OH-99J is mainly used as a observation/recon helicopter. The AH-64 will take the attack helicopter role.

nice, something that could be really cool is compat with the DEGA: AH-99E Mohawk Modification mod

Looking forward for the update!

I'm adding the F-35 and AH-64 as standalone. It will have some Aegis compat as well, yes

and will there be aegis compatability so we get to use the ah-64 and f-35 from that mod?

It is planned, yes.

will the mod be updated with stuff from the the cdlcs? i was hoping for the atgm marshall and its variants to be added, aswell as the helicopter from reaction forces

nice, some suggestion - use the soft dependency system to use grave's modular carrier and p320 pistol - because the pistol is similar to the current p220 used by jsdf

Why u make Japanese mod?

I don't know yet. If I do, it will be as soft dependency, if possible.

Question, will the mod be updated with items form the Quick Reaction CDLC or not?

Can we get the base NATO G3 and CTRG Uniforms in Jietai camo please?

also, "台車"(ZAMAK, etc) means not Truck. That is trolley/flatcar.
Should be "トラック" (just katakana of truck, torakku)
