Hi LordPeral - is there a way to force AI landing on the carrier using VTOL mode. There was an F35 mod I found some time back that would let AI land on the carrier using VTOL by default (I assume it wasn't meant for carrier ops) - but I can't find it. It's not part of Firewills mod and I've tried three of the current F-35Cs but no luck so far.

@Ulfgaar Are you using the afterburner? Throttle over 90 is afterburner.

Taking off with this, going 90 degrees straight up - this thing keeps accelerating continously till you meet the max altitude. This is something that by appearance goes for the F-16 too.

Just way overpowered thrust and maneuverability.

The plane is way to maneuverable at its current state. It can pull 30Gs.

Anychance of a f35b?

Thank you for your efforts. Can you integrate it with FIR mod?

@Lordperal ,I found that the radar could not identify any enemy vehicles at night, but it could during the day.

Is there anyone can tell me how to control arm/disarm afterburner ? Sometimes it suddenly turns on and can't be off, and it can't be turned on when you want to open it.The control interface doesn't have it either.

Epic, maybe if possible make in an option in eden right next to the fold wings option

Update soon, I’ll look at adding a close canopy

How can i make it so the canopy on the jet is closed by default in eden? It's a bit odd seeing the canopy be constantly wide open

Realism wise the F-35C shouldn't have AGM-88s, AARGMs however could be a nice addition since it is a weapon that will be fielded and will fit into the internal bays as well

Any chance this will gain access to the AGM-88 HARM on any of its pylons?
Feels like a major capability for it to be missing.
Unless USAF mod is required for these?

USAF mod still alive? I've been waiting for the F-35B for so long that sometimes I lose hope...

Hey, is there a way to get AI pilots to lower the tail hook for carrier landings? The best I've been getting out of them are touch and go landings on the USS Freedom: the main undercarriage hits the deck then the pilot aborts the landing and goes around to try again, each time I've noticed that the tail hook isn't lowered

oh

There is a F35A and F35B in the works, but it will be in the USAF mod. I am part of that mod also.

Any plans for an F-35B with full VTOL capabilities?

i cant see this mod in my editor. how do i place it in a mission?

I keep looking at mfds in arma and think they look off.. I am yet to start texturing models in arma still at the 3D model stage so unsure what is possible and what is not.. Could you add a second layer infront of the mfds with a glass texture for example to make them look more realistic ? or even add a green haze to the jet black backgrounds ?

Can you increase the range of the RWR to 32km?

When you will Implement GPS Targeting System For This ??

the tail hook doesnt work for me it doesnt catch any wires

Your mods are amazing! Thanks for bringing them to the public! Another thing: USAF mod has been dead since 2022... I follow the discord and we haven't heard anything about the mod since then... Can you give us some insight into what "soon" means? I dream of realizing VTOL in B variant...

Georrge = Just turn on the jet, as said in my last post "The RWR is always on when the jet is on and you have a stat screen on the MFD".

How can I turn on the radar and display it on the HUD?

Valkyr = The F35B i'm working on will be in the USAF Mod soon. Nebmas = I don't see a clean way to do automatic flaps right now, so I will change the flaps are down when you start for now. Staz Charlie Blood = the RWR is always on when the jet is on and you have a stat screen on the MFD. The pilot camera is 360 right now, but I will move it some for a batter view. SonicJohnBH = Please message me on Discord with your questions.

Are you planning to add a full 360° IRST coverage like the USAF F35A has? I also couldn't turn on the radar for some reason, there doesn't seem to be one unless it's considered as a passive sensor. (Which is a great idea since it's a good way to make a LPI radar work in Arma 3.)

Otherwise, great mod! Can't wait to see these features trickle down the future F35B.

I had some questions about some of the scripts y'all made for this, shot you a friend request or you can find me on Discord under the same name. Fantastic mod!

Will you add automatic control of the flaps?

Any plans for a F-35B variant at all?

What new features are coming up next? Or are you transitioning to the F-35A next?

Also the sound is 3.5/10

Can make is sound like the f-35A.

basically in sync

Review & feedback

Interaction with cockpit and MFD'S 10/10

looks & textures 10/10

performance 5/10 turns too quickly pull like 22gs lol.

gear and everything else is 10/10

I recommend turn make the performance more realistic, might have to review some f-35 air show videos. And just analyze the flying and speeds, and g turns.

what is the new update about?

I'm looking forward to it.

I'm working on new ones, and updating the F-35A in the USAF mod.

Hi can you add some of the same features as the USAF's F-35A in the next update ? It's really useful like GPS guide page ,augmentation,or electronic jamming.

Sorry, I'm not working on Skyhawk right now.

Hi Wondering If there are any chances of you releasing a Skyhawk A4 mod

Thank you <3

I can add a blank texture in the next update.

Hi Wondering If there are any chances of you releasing a blank F-35C without US Logos?

Stealth mode in the eden editor in the jets attributes removes the pylons under the wings.

Is there any way to remove the pylons under the wings, or will there be a version without wing pylons in the future? And would like to know whether the F35 will be more difficult to detect by radar compared to other aircraft? Looking forward to your answer Great mod

Is now with clickable cockpit?

@Lordperal I'm referring to scripted commands and autopilot carrier landing using vtol.

Yes, tail hook button is in the cockpit (upper right by MFD). VTOL is the F35B so no VTOL. Note: L-bar and wings must be lower to use the USS Freedom’s catapult. L-bar and wing fold buttons are on the stat page on the MFD.

Looks great - does it have a working tail hook and can it land on the USS Freedom - using VTOL? If so what commands does it take? I assume (vehicle this) landat dynap or (vehicle this) land 'land'; + thook anims etc?

All updates on modes and WIP are posted on Discord.
