update release to ver beta 1.5

[Cyteless 10]

Hahahahaha, it's so dinky. Looks very nice, mate. Good luck on the project.

[wolfbite 8]

Haha crazy looks good man...

[cole 0]

combine these with a large cargo truck and you have a ground aircraft carrier :D

Can't wait to fly this. Hopefully it's got some decent flight controls, not like the russian UAV that's ingame?

[bwph4273 11]

I am currently looking for a few people to test it before i release the beta in a few days . if interested just send me a PM.

OK thanks for all the people who volunteered to do the testing .

testing closed

[Jezza5555 10]

Cool, really looking forward to this. I released an FSX and FS2004 version of the BD5 a few years ago, had the blueprints from a real one and a former pilot as a tester thats how deep i got lol.

Looking forward to how it turns outs, its a great little plane!

[vasmkd 12]

Maybe the weapons on it can all have "mini" or "micro" infront of them.

Cool little addon by the way :)

[bwph4273 11]

as soon as i get all the feed back from the testers and fix what needs to be fixed i will release the Beta. so hopefully soon

[kage74 10]

Awesome! This is just like the one we had back in OFP:R but much improved by the looks of it. Hehe, can you fly it through an aircraft hanger like James Bond?

[bwph4273 11]

if it were open on both ends. i like to take it down to the tree tops and see how long i can dodge trees its quiet fun and handles well

[icebreakr 3159]

Don't be fooled by the size of this plane. Its better made than most of the BIS stuff ;) kudos bwph4273

[bwph4273 11]

OK its ready for release

[bwph4273 11]

[Gutm@sher 10]

Very fun and deadly little critter, and I dont usually like flying. Thanks alot!

[marseille77 53]

Do you plan also the James Bond version of the jet?

BD-5J in Octopussy

[Zardok 10]

Very nice, its always cool when an such like this comes out of nowhere.

[bwph4273 11]

@Marseille77 yes i am curently working on the textures for it now but i suck at texturing lol. hopefully it will be done soon along with some other variants and up dates.

Superb aircraft, really well made. I love addons like this one where it is clear that the addon maker has a passion for quality and has invested so much time getting the details right. bwph4273 I salute you sir! :)

[bwph4273 11]

thanks that makes all the long hours spent on the addons well worth it. the appreciation

[dlang 24]

HI, what is the command to fold wing (this animate...) ?

[bwph4273 11]

it is done via script .

fold down "bwph_bd-5j\scripts\fold_dwn.sqf" fold up "bwph_bd-5j\scripts\fold_up.sqf"

or in the action menu but if the plane is moving faster than 45 it will remove the action and if the wings are folded up the plane will not go over 35-40

[dlang 24]

Ok, thanks !
