Description: This addon adds a Kestrel 4500 to the game. Once finished it will be one of the tools needed for this project: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?181324-Advanced-Ballistics-(WIP) Features: * Direction * Wind Speed * Crosswind * Headwind * Temperature * Humidity * Barometric Pressure * Altitude * User screen 1 * User screen 2 Installation: Extract into the ArmA 3 Directory, by default this is located in: 32-Bit - C:\Program Files\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\ 64-Bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\ After extraction it should look like this: Steam\Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\@your_mod_folder_name\addons\ You can also use the "Arma 3 Alpha" folder in your "My Documents" folder. Your folder setup could than look like for example this: mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name1\addons\ mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name2\addons\ mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name2\addons\ When present place the "userconfig" folder into your game install folder, usually: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3". You may already have "userconfig" folder from other addons and/or mods in which case it is safe to merge the contents from this archive. You'll also need to add a Launch Parameter to Steam, in order to do so right-click on ArmA 3 Alpha and click Properties and then Set Launch Options. In the window that opens enter in -mod=@your_mod_folder_name For using multiple mods you would then do so like this: -mod=@mod_name;@mod_name2;@mod_name3;@mod_name4;@mod_name5 Note: You can also use -nosplash to get rid of the splash art and intro videos. And of course you can also enable and disable community made addons and mods through the in-game Options Expansions menu if you do not want to mess with startup parameters! When the above information still does not provide you with enough to learn how to install custom addons and mods you can always ask in our Guide On Installing Mods.

is this a client side mod?
Great idea but I think you should hold off on further development and wait until Marksman DLC is released. Making this mod for another mod that will mostly likely be made redundant by the release of the DLC would be a waste of your time. It'd also mean you'd have to recode everything
@ShPx marksman DLC isn't going to be out till sometime early next year. He is fine in making this mod.
@kripto202, yes it is a client side mod.
@ShPx, it only took a few hours to make this and I needed it for this addon: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26488
I would love to see a Kestrel 4500 in the Marksman DLC, but I do not believe that they will add one.
@Ruthberg are you a genius! thx for yours awesome tools!
