Little birds vs c-130

[Adammo 0]

Ok guys I just finished reading the thread about the C130 and how I haven't posted new pics.

This stuff takes longer then I would have ever thought to get it as close to professional quaility as possible ( for a novice)

I started working on the C130 and got about 80% or so finsihed with it.. About the same time I started working on a Oh6.

Then people started asking about Little Birds. So I started working back on the OH6 models.. I posted a few pic and people made comments.. I beta tested with 4 people and I kept improving it.. So far I have 3 choppers ready to go.

Oh6 Ah6 Oh6

1st is Resistance.. 2nd and 3rd are US Army.

I decided to put full time work in the choppers to get them out at the same time that Resistance was deployed. (released)

I posted more pic and people made more comments.. I think I have them finished as people would like to have them.

My next project will be to get back on the C130 and get it finsihed.

Whooo Hoooo!!!! Thanks Captain. Great texturing!!! They look really sweet now. I like the detail you put in them like the little silver part around the engine exhaust pipe in the rear. I'm really glad that you made them solid black like the real things, and of coarse the OH-6 like the Vietnam era models. Great work!! I think I'm looking forward to this Littlebird addon pack and your C130 just as much as I am looking forward to the OFP-Resistance expansion pack.

he should wait for resistence because at this point, they only work with 1.60+ so people who do not have the beta version of 1.60 are out in the dark, and since its a beta some people don't want to worry, but once BIS releases it as a full upgrade, people will download it and more people will be able to use it

looks great adammo

pesronally i dont care much for the c-130 it only carries troops yes i know it can be turned into a gunship and all but its to to to one dimentional inotherwords it is used for one thing mainly mean while the little bird does anything carry troops turn it into a gunship or for scouting and i love the littlebirds mate keep it up

[spiderman6999 0]

The only use I could see the C-130 for is a crashed one.It would make a good search and rescue or a survior mission.But if you could transport stuff like vehicles that would be awesome.Im sure some one will make a script for that.So I would have to say the OH6 would be better than the C-130 for OFP.Dont get me wrong the C-130 would still be nice just to have.Because its not to fast.I think the speed of a C-130 is like 300mph/618kmh.So you could just cruise around in it.

[cbfasi 4]

Well I see alot of use for C130's.

How about this....

Your part of a team that must clear a suitable area for and advance landing ground for the C130, you get parachuted in and ensure no enemy patrols and then call in the Herc.

The reverse is just as interesting, say your under attach and the herc needs to be called in to 'evacuate' the remaining troops so your actually having to fight your way to the plane.

The first is what my Dad used to do when he was in Tac. Comms (he was the poor guy with the Radio who actually calls in the Herc).

I can see many uses of the Herc as it used as a tactical transport and OFP is tactical...

keep it up with the little birds!

[VXR 9]

i dont think they would use a big plane for attacks on such a small is land they better would use choppers because they can land amost everywhere

btw: good work adammo

Personally I'd love to see the C-130. Just mainly for parachuting out of. The CH47 is a bugger to get to go where you want it to and the other helos don't seem right to parachute from. Hopefully someone will script a Sarajevo landing.

Eh, whatever...I'd be happy to see anything new...

I have one word regarding the usage of the C130:

AIRBORNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will you release any more addons after you've finished your Hercules and Littlebird?

[Adammo 0]

I just got this from CM:

"We are pleased to inform you that Operation Flashpoint: Resistance (PC) CD Rom is launching this

Friday 28th June 2002. Visit the official website at: http://www.codemasters.com/ofp-resistance"

btw, once its out and people are playing it .. I will release the choppers...

I textured as you can see and upgraded the choppers to version 2. In doing so I also upgraded the choppers so that they will only work in Resistance. I don't want to worry about people complaining that they can't put the choppers in version 1.60 because there is no editor to be found (in 1.60) to create missions with the little birds..

[N.o.R.S.u 0]

Great work, I say release the Little Bird first.

Well you can edit the missions in 1.46 and then use them in 1.60. You can access the SINGLE MISSIONS by using the TAB key in 1.60 .

You know that and I know that, but 95% of OFP fans doesn't know that.

anyone know yet if its true about resistence being pose poned in North America yet? i mean a for sure answer, not just a rumor?

Also the C130 would be great if there were more flat land with little to no trees in the way.

Why do you need a bunch of flat land for the C130? All you need is an airfield. In addition many map makers are making maps with multiple islands that allow for example airborne missions that start off with the C130 taking off on one island, dropping paratroopers over an other island and then returning to land at the airbase.

But even on islands like Malden or Everon, you can take off at one end of the island and drop paratroopers on the other side of the island.

At any rate, there are lots of things that can be done with the C130 and many scripts for airdropping supplies and vehicles. So I'm really looking forward to the C130!!!

Why won't they work without 1.60?

[Paratrooper 0]

Will you make them available to those with 1.60?

[NVA Killer 0]

you will need flat land if there is no run way, well atleasy fairly flat and clear land, say you want to land in the southern part of everon, don't think you want to drive that far, takes a while

There aren't any areas on any of the BIS islands to land a airplane accept for perhaps a Cessna. There simply are too many trees and bushes and stuff. However people are making maps with WRPedit that will have two islands. However currently you can only make the AI take off and land from one island. However players will be able to take off and land from the 2nd airbases, however they will only be able to use the "autoland" feature on of the airbases...so that means players will have to brush up on their landing skills.

Anyways expect to see maps with multiple runways soon. I know Orange (from the F.A.R.T. squad) is working on one right now as part of his "Orangeland" map. That map has already been released, except only with two islands (one regular island with an airstrip, mountains, farms, and towns and one with just forest). The new and final version will have 3 islands with the 3rd island containing an airstrip. It's going to kick some serious ass!!!

Anyways it'll be perfect for all kinds of missions using the C130 addon. That'll include missions ranging from airborne assaults to missions where you are delivering humanitarian relief or resupplying forces on the other islands.

But even on Malden and Everon, many missions can still be made using the C130 and just the one airstrip on those islands.

I just want to finally be able to do REAL airborne assaults.

I've made missions doing mass airborne drops from Chinooks, but they would be so much cooler if they were done from C130's.

ok here is a question for you all:

Who's is not going to buy Resistance for the game play and netcode? plus all the new features?

Since Resistance will be out in a few days I think its a Mute point to release any buggy addons for 1.46.

1.60 is a beta patch btw. So why should someone release it for 1.60 beta patch? doesnt make sence to me.
