British Ridgback PPV

[jordanbache97 47]

My thanks to Foxhound and Sonsalt - eagle eyed as always!

 

Thanks for the replies :)

 

Regarding variants ....

 

Good News

I'm working on a vehicle that has a MK19

It's used for convoy duty

 

Bad News

It isn't a Ridgback :(

 

I don't know if we mount the MK19 on a Ridgback tbh. Not seen any photos of it.

 

Maybe in the new year I'll revisit it. Looking back at it (it's nearly a year old now)

there's an awful lot that could be improved!

 

 

Is it a British vehicle?

Is it a British vehicle?

 

No, I think he's on about his previously announced M1117 project

It's a security vehicle and has a Mk19 in the Cadillac-Gage turret so fits the description

Thanks for this  :)

The Cougar-H can mount a Grenade launcher? the 4x4 SWB version 

I'm not sure if Britain uses them though 

[cleggy 297]

Thanks for the replies!

Assuming your replying to me with regard to the Ridgback then: you're welcome!

If, however, you're replying to something completely different ... then you haven't seen me .... right?

Appreciate the input but I think da12th pretty much nailed this for us a few posts back :)

[jcae2798 132]

Ha yes for the Ridgback.  Using it in a British mission i am building.  :)

[nickhechtel 13]

can we get an update for ace compatiblity? would be very cool:

[cleggy 297]

Hi Nick

 

Although 'cool' IS my middle name I have no real idea what makes a vehicle ACE compatible.

 

I suppose it would mean lots of research and reading of wikis, so not sure I'm up for that at the moment.

 

I did have some interaction with another of my addons and ACE by using the CBA optional XEH pbo -  loading captives in the cargo etc.

is that the same thing?

[nickhechtel 13]

i think so, probably you are asking the guys from ace dev team...

Greetings,

 

First of all, great mod. I have played around with the vehicle while mission making and it performs well in conjunction with a number of other mods I typically use. The attention to detail on the interior of the vehicle is especially nice.

 

Quick request however, and I know this is a minor nuisance, but would it be possible to change the text on the ammo box for the top gun from 7.62mm to .50 cal. If the weapon atop the vehicle is meant to represent a M2 Browning Heavy Machine Gun this would make more sense.

 

Regards,

 

 

Sir Whisper.

 

P.S. This is only a suggestion. 

[cleggy 297]

I hadn't noticed that!

 

Strange the things you miss with alchohol fuelled modelling, isn't it?

 

I probably won't be doing much about it tho' because every time I look back on that model

I just want to start over ... and that's far too depressing.

 

The good news is that the source files are with CUP, 3CB and other worthy causes

-so hopefully, in good time, they'll sort out my blunders ...

[evrik 841]

Thanks for that Cleggy, btw. An updated version of your Ridgeback is in our plans. While I love the Jackal, others keep on whinging about not having a roof.... ;)

Couldn't agree more :)

Cleggy, I'll also send you the files for the Mastiff once I've managed to iron out all the bugs I've added :D

Did someone say Mastiff?! Enlighten me please :D

[TheLimbo365 70]

Hey Cleggy,

Now that CUP has released the GMG varient and the Mastiff I dont suppose your planning on updating this "pack"?

The group I play with doesnt use CUP but would love to get our hands on some new toys

[cleggy 297]

Tbh it's unlikely unless I get an 'Alwarren moment' and do it on a whim...

 

The Mastiff isn't mine of course, it's a derivative of the CUP Ridgback by Deltagamer 

- so any work on that would be dependent on CUP.

 

This would mean new models and I've developed a phobia of bar armour

that wakes me up at night in a cold sweat.

 

There are, of course, interesting things on the horizon:

 

Burnes Foxhound (I don't really need to tell you about that one)

 

RKSL Foxhound (which is out there somewhere ... waiting to pounce)

 

3CB's take on the Ridgback

 

Or ... you could reconsider your use of CUP and get to play with my Bulldog

which, despite being a complete turkey IRL has ported rather well for a model

that's older than I am.

[jordanbache97 47]

well isnt one of CUP's statements to allow people to edit their packs for the community?? (or something like that)

 

So couldn't your group just take the PBO's for the mastiff?

Thanks for the quick response! Thats too bad about updating this but oh well 😊

I have downloaded the CUP stuff to play about with it and I think its good, I might try get it added

I did look into this but they have built a bunch of dependncies into it that make it a pain to try and use standalone!

I may just have to learn how to config and re config it myself

Hello, sorry for bringing up this post but I'm having an issue and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing it. Basically it's that the M2 in the turret does not want to fire. As I said, just wondering if this was a known issue. Love the vehicle, just need it's firepower in a pinch.

 

-edit- forgot to say I'm using version 4.0 of the mod.

 The standalone version of the mod is no longer being supported as far as I know, anyway.

 

However the vehicle is now part of CUP Vehicles amd had a HMG, GMG and GPMG version with FFV top cover. 

 

It also has the Mastiff as well.

Unfortunately not possible, you need to download CUP. Not sure why you wouldn't want CUP with all the other things it adds from Arma2 .

 

And to stop further updates to thread - we will close it here as the author has stated already when the addon can be found.
