Thanks for adding us Nightstorm. Really appreciate it. Working on an expanded JTAC video to showcase possibilities ...

@Ozone1 I added a link above to a RC-135 Paint Kit Draft. I did not use your cleaned up textures, but if you want to merge them with the PSDs linked at the top and clean up the UV Map I'll be highly appreciative and will hang the merged PSDs above. To Livery Creators ... send your skins to me and I'll roll them into the main download zip file. Be sure to put your livery credit info in the Description.lua. Can't wait to see what the community comes up with! Thanks!

Obviously inspired by Jimmy Durante ... No paintkit just yet. I'll try to put out an unofficial one by the end of the week. Working up a JTAC video at the moment ...

That's great Nightstorm! Thanks for doing that!

Once we reverse engineer the Klingon Invisibility Cloaking Technology, perhaps invincibility and levitation features will have to make a return.

Thanks for the LODS typo catch and love the P-8! Hopefully V1.2.1 fixes the levitating JTAC issue.

Check your ED Messages ...

Did you update to V1.2? Or read the change log?

Will update the mod today to V1.1 to incorporate this new change ... I had the JTAC on the bombing range island of the Marianas Islands map with no floating observed. Thanks for the feedback.

Could you also trigger the Illumination Bomb to drop at that point and perhaps have that impact trigger the spawning of the Cargo Dropped Object. That way you'd at least get a visual eye candy of a parachute. Would that work Grimes?

Eightball deserves all the credit for his hard Blender work ... I'm just the Combat Cameraman, paint shop refab, and public relations REMF.

Even a blind Secret Squirrel eventually finds an acorn ... Eightball did all the heavy lifting with Blender.

Coming soon ... [For the record, Chris Lehto officially denies the veracity of this video ... He has a great YT channel - check it out!]

Release imminent ... less than two weeks ... maybe two days ... Note: The Pentagon Public Affairs Office does not officially acknowledge the existance of this video or the information contained within. Original leak posted here: To be continued ...

The British lass in the video was just interviewed on CNN International and stated that the above leaked 3D CAD drawing is NOT what she saw in the hangar.

Moose says I can neither confirm or deny this obvious attempt at Foreign Intelligence Service disinformation. Boris and Natasha will be visiting you soon comrade … No rivets were welded or joints smoked in the making of this mod …

Coming soon from Secret Squirrel Studios ... stay tuned for further news and information.

Video teaser for our upcoming release ...

Using Tobii 5 on a 55" 4K TV and loving it. TIR 4 just could not track well off the ball cap reflectors positioned at that seat height disparity. Every setup is unique.
