kremator 1064 Posted March 11, 2012 Got some flame for you guys after checking the aircraft out fully, I'm sorry in advance...To start out with the Hawker Typhoon: It's not a Mk.Ia! It lacks a clear-view canopy, but has a quad Hispano, meaning it's rather an early production Mk.Ib. The RP-3 have a display name of 90lb rockets, however they're 60lb rockets (90lb = US HVAR rocket). They would be better off fired as a two-rocket salvo too IMHO. The "GP 500" would be better off using their actual to-day designation "500lb" in my opinion. The biggest thing. HISPANO! I feel like I've the arsenal of 4 .303 machine guns and not the 20mm Hispano Mk.II. It's just too weak, I couldn't bring down a Ju-52 with three bursts. Continuing with the Republic P-47D Thunderbolts: D-20 is a Razorback, fine. But D-25 Razorback? No way! D-25 is the first block to have a Bubbletop canopy! Ten HVAR rockets? Sorry, the only aircraft to carry that many was a P-38 Lightning. Eight for the Jugs. Thanks to the fact the machineguns are actually taken from the P-51D (?) they work good. The flame goes on with the Schwalbe... 4x 30mm guns. Another plane that feels like having 4 small-caliber machine guns. I tried the 20mm on the Gustav-6, and it was way more effective than four of these babies. Real Mk108 guns would bring a plane to the endgame within one or two hits, but I could spray a B17 as much as I liked with I44's Mk108s, the gunners just laughed at me and PK'd me. The R4M should be rather fired in bursts, creating a shotgun-like effect on 1000 meters. Stuka, shall we...? Do you have an actual material directly indicating that the Stuka really carried the armaments displayed in the mod? 10x SC50 feels more than the actual pylons, and 4x SC250 also feel kind of fishy. Just a note at the end: I like the power of the M2 Hispano on the P-38, could we get that quadrupled on the Typhoon please? Just accidentally realized the RP-3 are guided. You should see the look on my face after that... Perhaps if you termed it CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM it would be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmmPee 1 Posted March 11, 2012 Nah. @i44 and @cba must be used as modfolders (ie appear as seperate folders in the main Arma2 folders). Look here. Then copy and paste the ArmA2 CO icon (not the OA one), edit its properties, find the target line and add those words at the end of the target line : -mod=@cba;@i44 Thanks mate :) I'll give it a go and re-post to see if it works Really appreciate your help!

vsukpadman 0 Posted March 11, 2012 Firtsly congrats on an AWESOME mod... great work ! I have been trawling for every mission I can find for I44 multiplayer co-op , and have noticed that quite a few missions I found (mainly ones not on the new I44 maps ) show the GUI but none of the options are available for healing . etc . Would this be because the missions are maybe older and either dont support the 2.6 gui, or that the designer didnt include the GUI as part of the misson? Just wondering what the reason is before I dump the missions that dont have it working or if its an easy fix to get them working....not that many missons around at the moment for small I44 co ops 1-6 players, so need all we can get ! thanks in advance! vsukpadman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should see the look on my face after that... All or almost all of the planes were derived from 'The FEW' mod that looks to be postponed or suspended somehow, so you don't need to be hard on this. And after all this is I44 MOD 2.60(1) Patch version - so still WIP but playable. It is not FINAL. I will try and take your post as an constructive bitchin'. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I can't seem to find an Arma2 CO icon, only an OA one and an Arma2 OA server. Also, do you know how to find the target line? It doesn't matter if you can't, I'm not used to installing mods in modfolders and as a consequence I'm kind of a novice :p Thanks :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archsceptic. 10 Posted March 11, 2012 Hi EmmPee, I hope this doesn't confuse you further, but I highly recommend using a mod launcher to manage your addons and mods. This one in particuar: http://arma2.paro-technology.com/ It's very easy to use, even I can understand it. You just double click on the launcher icon once you have installed it and simply tick the boxes of the mods you want to launch, eliminating the need to manually alter your shortcut parameters. SGT.cz90-CZ, did you keep your receipt? Maybe you can ask for your money back.:rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SGT.cz90-CZ 10 Posted March 11, 2012 I love the mod since Flashpoint times, but I wanted to see how cool would it be to save some of the guys from my unit in ArmA with the aircraft, they just don't believe the fact I can fly those things in Il-2 :-) Since the aircraft are really TheFEW, it might be nice if I44 guys took over. I'd personally try and be helpfull with the realism of them. No idea how much time do they have left to dedicate to the mod though, so let's hope the actual creator of those warbirds sees my "constructive bitching".

Yac 10 Posted March 11, 2012 That elephants do not do a sparrow, ArmA II will not do an air simulator. :) I repeat once again - you want to fly in the simulator? play IL2 or other games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magnus28 1 Posted March 11, 2012 SGT.cz90-CZ, no need for the word " Flame " in your post.. these guys are awesome and have done amazing work on this mod. Yac. No need to state the obvious. Everyone knows this isn't IL2. However, cz90-CZ does have a few valid points. And everything he mentioned aside from the "dual firing rockets" IMO can be accomplished, and are well within the game's engine limitations. my 0.02 worth: To start out with the Hawker Typhoon: It's not a Mk.Ia! It lacks a clear-view canopy, but has a quad Hispano, meaning it's rather an early production Mk.Ib. -not a huge issue, i'm sure there are bigger fish to fry then worry about this minor detail. The RP-3 have a display name of 90lb rockets, however they're 60lb rockets (90lb = US HVAR rocket). They would be better off fired as a two-rocket salvo too IMHO. - 90lb instead of 60lb, in my eyes not a big problem. two rocket salvos, maybe a game limitation. The "GP 500" would be better off using their actual to-day designation "500lb" in my opinion. -trivial The biggest thing. HISPANO! I feel like I've the arsenal of 4 .303 machine guns and not the 20mm Hispano Mk.II. It's just too weak, I couldn't bring down a Ju-52 with three bursts. -IMO all cannons in this game need to have their damaged quadrupled The flame goes on with the Schwalbe...4x 30mm guns. Another plane that feels like having 4 small-caliber machine guns. I tried the 20mm on the Gustav-6, and it was way more effective than four of these babies. Real Mk108 guns would bring a plane to the endgame within one or two hits, but I could spray a B17 as much as I liked with I44's Mk108s, the gunners just laughed at me and PK'd me. I feel your pain brother, they are aware of this.. trust me! Stuka, shall we...?Do you have an actual material directly indicating that the Stuka really carried the armaments displayed in the mod? 10x SC50 feels more than the actual pylons, and 4x SC250 also feel kind of fishy. actually check out the specs on the JU-87 "d" variant they were capable of having up to 1800kg of bombs that would be carrying 4 450kg (1012lb) bombs. 2 per wing, 2 under fuselage. so i'm sure 1000 kg bomb loads were normal. ( Just a note at the end: I like the power of the M2 Hispano on the P-38, could we get that quadrupled on the Typhoon please? i'm sure if you wait until 2.7 you'll be surprised at the overhaul of the planes and their cannons.

PacUK 1 Posted March 11, 2012 Got some flame for you guys after checking the aircraft out fully, I'm sorry in advance... I don't know how many times I can really say this. There was never any intention of balancing the three various types of planes we have (ours, the fews, yac's) that have been added over time for 2.6. We have a huge plane overhaul coming for 2.7. While I can appreciate a lot of the comments/complaints, don't expect them to be addressed for a while yet, and while thats a lovely wealth of information, its likely to get lost in these forums. Your best bet would be to make these notes over on Dev-Heaven so we can track them when we do come to work on the planes again. I have been trawling for every mission I can find for I44 multiplayer co-op , and have noticed that quite a few missions I found (mainly ones not on the new I44 maps ) show the GUI but none of the options are available for healing . etc .Would this be because the missions are maybe older and either dont support the 2.6 gui, or that the designer didnt include the GUI as part of the misson? Not entirely sure what you're referring to here, when certain modules aren't placed some sections of the GUI are automatically disabled (e.g. no Wounding module means that part of the GUI will be greyed out etc). The actual main GUI itself should always be available though as some features work without the need for modules to be placed in the mission. With 44 missions included in the mod its a little hard to know which missions you're talking about (and whether its SP or MP). Since the aircraft are really TheFEW, it might be nice if I44 guys took over. I'd personally try and be helpfull with the realism of them. No idea how much time do they have left to dedicate to the mod though, so let's hope the actual creator of those warbirds sees my "constructive bitching". As we've said a few times Gnat has been working on overhauling the plane systems based on the work done by the guys from the Few, once those features are established (I believe he's using his FW190 as the test bed) we'll then be looking at applying them across the others. The tentative release for this will be 2.7, but we may roll out certain planes as they get done to help test the new features in MP etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nickmow 10 Posted March 13, 2012 This is THE. mod to have, has totally changed to nature of ARMA for me. Thanks for your massive and on going efforts. I have a couple of things for consideration or inspiration, Gliders ? I use the Horsa tha came with the Normandy Mod (I think) could do with an updated version, I even tried myself but I have no experience with modelling so got nowhere. That said, I have figured out how to get the gliders to land in a rough/random area with some success and am having a great time mostly just editing missions. Second thought....amphibious ops ? Well a DUKW maybe or fingers crossed an LVT ? (though I think the Pacific mod boys are onto that). Just thoughts and not expectations or requests, mostly just want to say thank you for hours an hours of I44 fun so far. Thank you Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
