Wow ! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing
Nice! Can You Make Me A unmanned ground vehicle Plzzz!! Plzzz! Plzz!
This is quite awesome. Might make a mission with Navy SEALs and they use this.
Thus unto the breach.
the cam only comes up for like 2 seconds then goes away
Is NOT compatible with ACE
Version 1.1 is now compatible with ACE2. :P
This is awesome!!! Thank you!
my friend did raven b missions when we were in Iraq together and i used to watch him fly these things, there is alot more to it than people realize, one of the really cool features of them is if they lost connection with them or some act of god made them not communicate with them then these planes would return to their take off point. In theory this was a great idea however they usually ended up on a roof of some Iraqi families house and we had to track it down and recover or destroy it before the wrong hands got it. When i saw this mod I was totally blown away, after using it I was even more speechless. Brought back memories, my friend let me take manual control and even let me set a flight path for a mission one day and also operate the camera as well and it was awesome. Sadly this mod is the closest most will come to the real thing. It's not all bad though because this mod is spot on and i applaud FEINT for his research, detail, and overall success. You have this veterans stamp of approval.
@automat k 47, thanks man! Very interesting about the Raven returning to the launch point and having to track it down. When I first thought this project up, I was hoping that vets who used the real thing wouldn't think my version was inaccurate or lame. You just made all the effort worthwhile. Thanks for your service and your great comments. :)
This is by far the coolest and most epic thing ever designed for Arma.
Well done!
Thank you so much for making and sharing this incredible addon! From the first flight it jumped into one of my all time favorite mods. Again, I can never thank you enough!
Thanks yet again

Awesome download. It runs fine in A.C.E. Apart from that it works as advertised!
What is going to be the easiest path of implementation into missions such as Domination, Takistan Force, Patrol Ops? I'd love to be able to run this on my dedicated for my friends and I.
I assume that once we select the action to make the plane fly it runs a script which tracks the variables such as battery, height, location etc. This script would also add the actions to the players menu. Any chance you could tell us that script so we could make the UAV usable after respawn ? assuming that its a simple script we run after respawn to reassign the player to the UAV.
