Aircraft carrier addon!?!?

[Guest Titanium]

Lately on some servers I've been going to, people have been talking about an aircraft carrier addon. Is it true, is there really an Aircraft carrier!??

lol, wow. with a good texturer that will kick anus. There was an official air craft carrier made by BIS for independance lost which seems to have disapeared.

and im half way through making an amphibious assault ship (LHD-1 Wasp) ive already made the LCAC to go with it (in the pic)

oh great, the one non-aircraft oxygen model is one that will spawn a million aircraft for it.

If you ask me I think its best if it doesn't move. Its incredible that you can land on it when its not moving. Think of the chaos trying to land something on something that is movin in OFP.

Imagine its the end of a mission. Everything has gone perfect and now all you have to do is land the plane to win. You have everything lined up and just when you think your gonna pull it off, the damn aircraft carrier desides to turn for whatever reason. Suddenly you crash into the bridge, killing yourself and damaging the carrier.

Still It would be cool to move around but boats are hard to stop once they start going. Also, AI in a boat when ordered somewhere will keep moving in the same direction after reaching the waypoint like a plane would because they dont know that even when they are not accelerating, the thing still moves. But whatever comes I'll take.

Yeah sorry forgot to say its not my carrier im not into carriers rather than build assault and battle ships for OFP.

i believe independence lost is making an LHD or LHA, depending on the timeframe. if it's 1985 then it will be the Tarawa class LHA, if it's post 1989 it will probably be Wasp class LHD

Too bad landing with planes on that thing is not possible with current OFP engine... Choppers might work, but I would guess they would start jumping around every now and then.

[LordZach 0]

choppers might work if it's a static object, but if it moves they will probably jump all over the place. in resistance who knows they might fix the "jumping" problem so you could put planes on them, and with a script maybe, you could script in a catapult. but then you would have to add tomcats and hornets etc which has already been discussed.

No, thats not an aircraft carrier addon. Before you start spouting crazy stuff at me, you might want to read FlipeR's origional thread on OFPEC's forums.

There you will note he made a rough mock-up of a carrier to see if it was possible to land aircraft or heli's on it. IT WASN'T!

Only troops could walk on the deck.

IT IS ONLY A TEST MOCKUP TO SEE IF THE IDEA WOULD WORK BUT IT DOESN'T.

FlipeR might be releasing it only as a scenic piece like the LST.

I feel it necessary to convey this before ppl start getting overexcited.
