if only i could find out when the next maneuver will be and another way to get a good quality recorder that can record a great 10 second recording of the planes i could email it to Adammo. but i don't not only know of a recorder or, when they will flyby again <span id='postcolor'>

Here is a picture of one with camo:

Both the navy blue skin and the desert skin are made from actual photographs. The blue one was a Canadian UN C-130 and the desert one a US special forces herc.

I mentioned this in a post a while back on this thread, and kinda explained why..

but no plans based on the OFP engine limitations.

-Capt Moore<span id='postcolor'>

I think the limitations can be skirted.  just model the larger weapon on the side and make it a standard gunner position (like on the helos) and make different firing rates and type ammo which can be changed by hitting the spacebar.  kind like the tank?  add some good zoom on it and it would act great as a spectre just crcling the target area for the gunner.  just my thoughts <span id='postcolor'>

Adammo mentioned that you can't stick door gunners on a "plane" class addon. However you can mount forward firing fixed machine guns/cannons on aircraft. What I'm wondering is if these weapons could be side mounted with the point of aim (that little white dot) visible through the side window. That way you could target the enemy while turning the aircraft and hitting the #4 key on the right keypad to look out the side window and see the target (and then fire the weapon). The weapons might not be able to move, but at least you could still aim them from the side window by just turning the plane left or right (which would raise or lower the weapons) while the plane is doing a counter-clockwise orbit around the target area. Multiple weapon systems could be used as well, with muzzle flashes looking as if they are coming from all of the weapons to at least simulate this. Different ammo types could then be used to simulate 105mm rounds, 20mm rounds, and 40mm rounds. It would be a lot of work but it may be doable within the constraints of the OFP engine.

I remember hearing rumors that someone at BIS mentioned that it was possible to combine different addons together (like to make something like a B17 bomber with several machine gun stations and turrets), but I don't know if that ever turned out to be true. I sure wish BIS would give more support to the MOD community or maybe work on some official patches to enable such things to be possible. Because right now alot of new addons are impossible because of these restrictions (like not being able to add a door gunner to a plane).

Denoir..your desert camo is actually one of the RAAF (Royal Australian Airforce) schemes, right down to the squadron logo on the tail. I used to see those birds often as the Air New Zealand workshop here had a contract to do maintenance on them. With the new C-130Js the Aussies have gone allover grey.

For those who say that C130's dont use camo, I see C130's at least 4 or 5 times a day, making their lovely buzzing sound right over my town. While these are canadian C130's, dare I say hath not a hercules propellors, hath not a hercules lumbering profile, and hath not a hercules camouflage pattern. We canucks may not put camo on much of anything, but our herc's have them often. I dont beg for modifications though, because I make them myself, and I will make one, for my canadian forces, with their often scary lack of camo, need a transport plane. Now all they need is a Lav, and some outdated 'high tech' frigates that sink when you give them dirty looks.

hmm the dutch airforce has 2 c130s in camo!

Photoshop 7.0, what else?

[Miles 0]

I see RAF hercs quite often, and they are usually grey, i dont recall ever seeing a camo one, although most i see are ones being tested on and the new J, so they may be painted differently

Isn't PhotoShop 7.0 expensive? I wish I had the money to buy me a copy. Maybe I can get PhotoShop Elements 2.0 for now.

You need to convert the .pac and .paa to tga format. You do it with the TexView program available from the downloads section of this site.

Yes, it is bloody expensive. Luckily I got a license for free from my university.

I'm sure you realy got that licence:) We all have them, right?  I got mine from our local church  

Anyhow, I can understand your excitement PPL, the C-130 by Adammo is indeed a long awaited addon, but Adammo, a lot of things still has to be done, if you want it to be a TECHNICALY good addon!

And by technicaly I mean: at least 4 resolution LODs - ALL of them SKINNED!!, proper Geometry, Fire Geometry and Hitpoints LODs for which is required an extensive understanding of OFP models and O2L... I'm right now reworking your Geometry, Fire Geometry and Hitpoints and Memory LODs, following OFP "rules", using Cessna and A10 models as bases. Then I'll send it over to you Adammo and you decide wether to make them publicly available or not....

Um. I don't know what you are implying but we have campus licenses for most software ranging from Matlab, Office to Maya and Photoshop at KTH (my university). Basically the school purchases a site license and then the students get the software for free.

Talking about crack or warez is a very good way to lose your posting rights on this board. Be careful, very careful.

Is everyone here aware that Adammo released version 1a of the C130?

You can DL it from OFP CZ.

[Espectro (DayZ) 0]

Yes mom, we know that

[Adammo 0]

ok guys and gals I was just made aware of a sound bug in my latest release of the C130v1a

The sound file from the new one points to the WAV file in the older c130.

So if you have both installed this is not an issue. but if you just have the newest version installed your sound will not work. so..

I sent a new copy to ofp.gamezone.cz and ofp-zone.de with the sound file fixed in it..

It will be the same file except the sound is fixed.. (when they get it up) but for now.. if you have the green c130 the sound will work fine.

I was wondering why it had no real sound. I was going to search for a replacement wave file. I'll have to check out the new version.

BTW, I'm going to be skinning a USAF version of this aircraft.
