EricJ Helicopter Pack

Description
RC159
- Added a custom Task Force 562 patch for those who are actually interested in that unit.
- Increased damage for the ATACMS missile.
- Added a Black River PMC patch for those interested in playing that unit.
- Cleaned up the Shadow LODs for the MH-92s, removing unneeded geometries.
- Cleaned up the S-94 (Utility) Shadow LODs, removing some unneeded geometries.
- Cleaned up the UH-60M (Unarmed-ESSS), now works as intended and also incorporated two FFV spots for players for some defense against threats.
- Added a WIP HH-60H. It needs work, and so on, and will continue to do so throughout next week or so. Overall, it's pretty usable. Note that there is only one fastrope point on the right, and the cargo (four operators) can exit/enter on the right side, I think, per the real one. I may move the fast rope point though so don't expect it to move based on some more research that I will do to finish it further. It flies and can insert, but it's not finished yet due to upload time and such. Maybe check it out and see what you like.
- Removed a lot of unneeded files from previous versions, hopefully slimming down file size (not much, but a little never hurts).
- Cleaned up the UH-60M, now works as intended and cleaner memory points.

The mod mainly features UH-60 helicopters, and features variants for the US Arrny, US Navy, and 160th SOAR. It also offers 32 styles of helicopters, from Avatar -like helicopters to normal UH-60 variants.It should be noted that they are ported A2 models from the massive A2 Samples and done with some additional updates for A3. It also features a ducted fan attack helicopter, and variants for the US Army, and 160th SOAR as well. It also comes with a UAV designed for attack and cargo missions, as well as civilian and transport versions. Also featured are liftable cargo containers (within reason) for the helicopters, similar to the Helicopter DLC cargo containers, but lighter to allow a wide variety of modded and vanilla helicopters to use. Works with (but doesn't require) The USAF Mod (for the inflight refuelling capability) and ACE3 (missile guidance and medical, and fast roping).

No news, the guy who was doing it hasn't reached out to me, so no word as of yet. I don't think he'll be able to do it in a good amount of time. I do have an option that I might pursue though, but I have a Discord where I post most of my updates though, if you're on that program.

G'day EricJ,
Yes, I'm still alive and kicking. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the work you're doing with this pack. Do you have any update on the Avatar choppers model?
EricJ  [author] 13 Jul @ 1:37pm 
Lol you're still alive! I unfortunately need some experience in folding stuff to make it viable. I can think of a way to animate them so they fold, but given their size I'm not sure if it will be even practical, but in the future is the best I can tell you right now.

G'day EricJ,
Would it be possible for you to animate the rotors on the the 92 and 96s so that they can be stored aboard carriers/lhds?
I'm glad to see you're still adding to the choppers. This is my ho to pack.
EricJ  [author] 9 Jul @ 4:38am 
There's really nothing special about them I'm afraid. Sure there's some niche stuff, but overall I work alone, so all the stuff is pretty much nothing exciting, like Hatchet and so on. I mean if I had team of people I'd probably have more features. I'm planning on in the future of adding HeliSim to the pack, but that's a maybe seeing I want feedback from players when I put it on the Kiowa I put out. So it works with ACE (but not required), and so on. I mean I get high marks for the flight models, but at the end of the day I'm not as competitive as some other mods.

Hi EricJ, what's special about your mod apart from the dual-rotor variants like Avatar? I'm referring to the UH-60 or Little Birds. Do they have specific characteristics that other UH-60s like the RHS don't have? Genuine doubt.

With the removal of the Titan AA Container, it has been (as per the above changelog) become it's own mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3519128385

*shrugs* oh well
EricJ  [author] 5 Jul @ 4:20am 
Because I'm using BIS sounds, and nothing custom. So unless somebody has a sound I can use, that'll be it for now. Frankly it[s not much of a priority as most of the time I use it for AI support, so I'm not in the control "console" using the Artillery Computer all of the time. I can look into the BIS sounds for artillery and maybe use that, but honestly it's not so much a thing I would put a priority. If you know a sound though, I'd be interested.

Out of curiosity, why does the light howitzer's firing sound lack the "oomph" that a gun in the 100mm caliber range is expected to have?
