Finnish hawk

[kegetys 2]

Phew... after a nice session of "trial and error" kind of adjusting to the plane mass I found a balance, that makes it take off easier, but it wont fall over to its back... I will propably release a new version soon. I also found some (stupid! texture bugs, I forgot the re-color a few textures after I changed the colours of the camo

for the sidewinders I really cannot do anything, ofp homing missile code doesnt seem to be that great for fast moving vehicles, but they are rather effective againist helicopters. The unaccuracy of the missiles could simulate the fact that in real life the target you are firing at propably would release chaffs to distract your missiles

Im not sure about what this "turn bug" thing means... It loses speed on turn, but so does the A10 and the Su25... The hawk accelerates a bit slow, but as there is no setting for acceleration in ofp I cannot do anything about it.

If you dont want it to spin after tight turns, dont do tight turns The plane has a rather short wingspan (a bit over 9 meters) and its very light (about 4400 kg) so it turns really fast (For comparsion, A10 wingspan is 17 meters and it weights over 21000kg). I guess I could make the wings longer and add more mass but that would mean throwing realism right out of the window and lose all its agility and make it all sluggish

Ok, fair enough on the other points. But this one: after tight turns, both the Su-25 and the A-10 lose speed, BUT unlike the Hawk, their speed will go back up to where it was before the turn! The hawk doesn't do that though? Or only very rarely?

Also, does the reworked model mean I can now take off

And can you do anything about the sliding vs. rolling thing on the ground?

Cheers Good work

Hmm... I tried it a few times, I was going 660 with the hawk, and I did a turn, and my speed lowered to 520... when I stopped turning, it started to rise and rose back to 660 where it was...

Im not exactly sure what you mean I drove with the Hawk and the A10 on the ground and they both turned pretty much the same way.

LOL

how bout if we beg?

hehehhe

anyway great work on the Hawk

[kegetys 2]

*cough* I made a tiny update to the hawk, version number is still 1.1 though... There was a texture missing from the tail LOD. If you downloaded the hawk before this message has been posted then you can re-download the hawk to get it fixed.

Now all we need is a real SAM-site (lika a SA-9 or 11) since the shilka & vulcan are too crappy to shoot down high speed aircraft.

Toboggan? >

Might I suggest the VX1098XCVF6T4U3R2D>1110 FLOATING KAMAKAZIE SAM SITE OF D0Oom?

Hoped for this since the first hours of Flashpoint, SA-13 and Chapparal would be lovely, adding a more serious factor than AAA vehicles.

For now any aerial vehicle, except those unarmed, totally dominate whats going on in the field without much worry of being shot down, there´s hardly any need to use terrain as masking as it would usually be practised, especially as Stinger or Strela equipped infantry is just as useful as a slingshots or spears against most A/C, especially against the flying T-80 .

As you cannot shoot a stinger for example from a vehicle (with multiple missiles aboard for reloading) that is on the march and part of a convoy, by popping up a hatch (Bradley, M113 part of mech. Infantry), protection for vehicles on the move is equal zero, because A/C´s can lock on and shoot any target way beyond visual range in OFP and hit it, for AAA gunning from the PIVADS or ZSU-23-4 or Stinger/Strela deployment you need visuals which is a clear disadvantage.

More like this:

10 people.. racing download a snowy hill... having the wind in your face... the guy next to you is moving up (and I mean _up_) fast! oh no! He's bouncing to the skies! You try to gain speed, and suddenly you start bouncing too and end up upside down at the forest, while you notice your 9 buddies do the same and see their sleds explode while they hit the trees.

Its just a test model

Sounds good to me.

Kegetys do u reckon u could send me that toboggon addon man? Just for fun, i wanna see what its like. Also your avatar pic, is that you? Also whats kegetys mean? Is it ur name of a nickname or wot?

[BigQEd 0]

Good work Keg... but WHY Finnish Aircraft? I didn't even know they had Aircraft

Now if only we could get some REAL fighters in the air. F14, F15, F16 and more... along with their MIG counterparts...

I would love to be working on such models...

[HellToupee 0]

u dont need f14s and stuff the hawk dose the same job, planes like skyraders would be a better addon. than f14s and f16s. One word catalina.

[Speeeedy 0]

Great work with the hawk i have the addon for a day now and i cant stop playing with it...its real nice to go trough the vally in everon with 660 (knots?). I always found the resistance needed a plane... Thought i have a little request you probably dont take on the rquest anyway I really miss a good way to attack ground vehicles perhaps some MK-82 bombs or rocket pods? that would be great. Great work ones again

[lonesoldier 0]

The AIM-9 Sidewinders that are on the hawk (are the AIM-9's?) are Air to Air and Air to Ground. Also it need more than two missiles. Compare it to the SU25 - 64FFAR's 6 ant tank missiles, tonnes of machine gun rounds. And then the A-10, powerful as fuck cannon and bombs and mavericks. So the resitance plane is easily outmatched by the two other planes. So add some more armament man and the plane will kick rectum. Also when i take off i can only take off from the end of the runway thats facing the ocean. Coz you cant pull the nose up on the runway for sum reason, so i have to wait for therunway to end and lunch the plane over the edge of the hill to take off.
