dslyecxi 23 Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I've just released the ShackTac Littlebird Enhancement Mod. Note that this is a beta release, so expect some potential issues. With that being said, it has been quite usable for those of us at ShackTac and I'm happy with how it has turned out. You can find details and download info here. Feature requests and bug reports can be handled there as well through the ticket system. The news/files sections will be updated as new versions are released. Here are some example videos showing off functionality: OGgLBBuQrIk rlN99dqNKy0 News sites, please do not mirror the files themselves. I'd like it to be accessible from DH exclusively. Also, since I know this will come up: No, I do not plan to make this for any other vehicles aside from the xH-6 platform. If you'd like to take on that challenge, feel free - I just do not personally have the time for it. Enjoy! :D Edited March 28, 2012 by Dslyecxi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggyluv 2136 Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Yep. Its fucking awesome. Thanks! Edit: Only problem for me now is flying the chop with mod enabled - 'W' key makes you leave the pilot seat (ergo crash) and I generally use that for flying -doh! :p Edited March 27, 2012 by froggyluv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orcinus 121 Posted March 27, 2012 Another amazing & characteristically small addon from the ShackTac team - thanks! I don't play MP (yet) but can't resist trying it after reading this: "whatever happens in SP is a surprise just waiting for you to discover, whee!" I look forward to being surprised this evening :) BR Orcinus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m1n1d0u 29 Posted March 27, 2012 very nice , i test it and woow ! i really like the FFV feature but the way you need for aiming isn't very simple. Anyway thanks for this addon maybe someone can take your FFS system for some blackhawk mod or something like that :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller 49 Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks Dslyecxi I have a prob., if I sit on the skid (key enter), I cant get out of te chopper - How does it work ? Or am I doing something wrong :j: greetz miller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dslyecxi 23 Posted March 27, 2012 Edit: Only problem for me now is flying the chop with mod enabled - 'W' key makes you leave the pilot seat (ergo crash) and I generally use that for flying -doh! This definitely should not happen. If you find repro steps (ie: what mods you're using, what helo, OA version, etc) post them to the tracker. W/S (or rather - moveForward/moveBack) should only work when sitting on the bench seats. I have a prob., if I sit on the skid (key enter), I cant get out of te chopper - How does it work ?Or am I doing something wrong If you're in FFV mode, W toggles into it and S toggles out. After that, normal action menu bits apply. Check the wiki if you're not sure how it's supposed to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted March 27, 2012 Just amazing mate! Talking of others taking up the challenge of firing from other vehicles, could you give us an idea of the complexity of this process? With an AI pilot, is it possible to take controls from him, then pass back control? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fruity_rudy 16 Posted March 27, 2012 is the fire from vehicle only working for little bird yet? I have to test that asap, that's really cool for small firearm-teams..excellent dude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W/S (or rather - moveForward/moveBack) should only work when sitting on the bench seats. . Ok, will do. The strange thing is that only in the pilot seat did I see the yellowed option FFV (W) as opposed to just the normal FFV option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gossamersolid 155 Posted March 27, 2012 This looks really cool, I'll have to try it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dslyecxi 23 Posted March 27, 2012 froggy, fixed it. Version 0.81 has been released. Update should resolve the pilot FFV issue. More info https://dev-heaven.net/news/711 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4056 Posted March 28, 2012 Woh, great job Dslyecxi, I hope that BIS would take a look at this and take into consideration some more realistic details to be added, choosing your seat would be a good place to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleep 10 Posted March 28, 2012 well... I love you :o Theres a bit of issues with the skids and ffv that im sure youre well aware of, but yea... loves going your way right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Franklin 0 Posted March 28, 2012 Amazing work! This has been needed for so long, thank you so much for releasing this to the public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted March 28, 2012 Now if only BIS had NATIVE firing from vehicles we wouldn't have too many other issues :) Thanks again Dsylecxi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=kct=blackmamba 44 Posted March 28, 2012 would it be hard to haul it over to for example the blackhawks (shooting out of the back seats) etc ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted March 28, 2012 VERY NICE! Love the 2nd vid - I recognize that action from Blackhawk Down :) Question - are you using the default BIS flight model for the little birds? I hope you say no - if you say yes then that means I'm a REALLY bad little bird pilot! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
