elendil004 0 Posted May 9, 2002 That galaxy could landon a carrier. Now, the damage sustained to the carrier, and the plane (wing/superstructure would prolly collide) would be immense, but could happen if it had to. If i remember correctly, Carriers can land 747s in emergencys, like air force one,or a crippled passenger jet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evilnames 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Why have an C-130? Same reason u have SU-25's and A-10's. The effect of a huge plane flying over head is cool . (And if they made the AC-130) Which i think would work nicely in flashpoint cosidering they use that thing for general Infrantry support. Than there is the effects you could have in just missions. With 10-20 C-130's flying over a target and droping X paratroopers. If not any game play adding's it would be cool for opening videos and the sort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
advocatexxx 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Please, with Flashpoint's default view distance you only see planes when they're really close. And due to the quite imperfect sound system I doubt you'll hear it too. I often had airliners fly overhead on landings, and that's when their engines are on idle. Yet in Flashpoint the A-10 can fly overhead with full thrust and you'll hardly notice it. So I doubt in combat you'll scan the sky to see if you can spot a C-130 and say "wow, that's cool !", because you aren't going to hear it come or go either.

Simple... but not real... OVERPOWER the aircarft. somebody had to do it with a Harrier for Fs98 in order to get the hover mode to work properly we can overpower the lift on the aircarft and add some more power but not to let it go supersonic like that Fs98 Harrier...

Grokk 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Solution for sound problem Guess there will be some sort of internal volume (don't know hell about addon-making). If that is so, just alter the vehicles volume that your boxes would explode by the immense ammount of noise coming from them if you would be standing next to the flying plane!!! So if you're standing on the ground you'd hear quite a realistic sound. About those HALO drops. I'm fairly good at scripting, and i got totally sick by the currently existing scripts for halo-jumps. I've worked out an almost perfect halo script, together with a (littlebit bugged) altimeter. Today i'm going to perfect it, by making halo-jumps possible from vehicles I know how to do it, by using the launch-detection script at the ofpec. At the moment you fall from user-defined altitude, when you use the action open parachute, a parachute is spawned with the camcreate-command (instead of moving the player very quickly in and out of a vehicle), and the player is moved "into" the parachute. Under 50 m you die, under 55m you get wounded and above you survive. I discovered a funny bug too, if your chute opens under 40 m, you survive, so i edited my script so your chute will not open at all under 40m. I guess i'll try to post my scripts later today at OFPEC. For i don't know how to attach anything over here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STS_SolidSnake 0 Posted May 9, 2002 C-5 It is beautifull but Big. We can expand the malden airport if you look there is a Flat Space behind the road that is at the end of the Runway, i dont know how long the flat space is but its big 500m or so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STS_SolidSnake 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Look at the small C-17 in the back HMMM Not to mention it needs 12,200 feet (3,697 meters) to takeoff fully loaded; 4,900 feet (1485 meters) to land fully loaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordZach 0 Posted May 9, 2002 we could expand but we don't have any runway objects, just taxiway. i don't think it would land too well on a tiny taxiway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grokk 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Hi. I've been working all day on that halo-jump. 3 out of 4 types works. You can halo alone from mid air, you can jump in a group from mid air, you can jump from a vehicle, but when i want to jump with a group it starts bugging. Sometimes the cargo-vehicle gets deleted (imagine your huge cargo-plane disappearing in mid-air), sometimes the cargo-plane + half of the group gets deleted (o my god, they vanished ). It will take a while untill I solve this Anyway, what's the use of putting a chinook (or trying to put) into a plane?? Maybe the plane is a little too big. Keep it small would be a good idea...

theavonlady 2 Posted May 10, 2002 Has this been posted yet? From: Adammo (NOSPAM.Moore@101st.org) Subject: C130 picture and very flyable Newsgroups: alt.games.operation-flashpoint Thread: http://groups.google.com/groups?....ame=off Date: 2002-05-09 08:58:56 PST Ok here is the update. I currently have a C130 that flys. The body is fully textured but I still need to add more detail to the skin. It has a full cockpit (only half textured) It flys very well and its actually a lot of fun to fly. problems: I ve got a question into the developers on how to create multiple prop axis. The problem right now is they all spin on the same axis. After I get the entire outside detailed and then I will work onthe cockpit.. Once this is completed I will work on the cargo bay. Then I will release, unless someone makes me mad j/k here is a teaser.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airdude2 0 Posted May 10, 2002 yeah a bit small, but i'll settle for small anyday, it looks great. if we could only make the grey a little darker and add some details to the textures it would be awesome. ir will look more round with darker colours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
