Brings a tear of joy to my eyes ! Well done mate !

[Richie 330]

Awesome work, I loved them old Camels :)

[DSabre 2332]

thank you,

they are a bit sensitive and can turn instantly. Might hang on to that for fun dogfightings sake. Also armor is like nonexistent.

Please tell me what you think about that.

God damn it! I'm getting all nostalgic for OFP now. I'll cry if you've enabled the ability to drop grenades out of them like the original OFP version :D

Wow, I love it! The interior is really cool.

[DSabre 2332]

Yes indeed. It's originally a bonus plane for OFP and the models were lying around in the Arma 2 APL files. I got into contact with Cyborg11 to get his textures from his addon for Arma 2.

So credit for that goes to BIS and Cyborg11 : )

@Jackal. Not yet but I plan to add that feature sometime.

Thanks for releasing this :)

Can you add a crosshair in first person view. Really hard to aim with the default iron sights when you use Track IR.

[icebreakr 3159]

Ahh camels. I remember them from Arma 1 when I flew one and actually scored a kill on a guy flying Hind below me as I dropped a grenade :) we laughed so hard.

[DSabre 2332]

@Bullet

Yes I think I somehow managed to add a crosshair while I was adding dual vickers cannons + firing animation. Still bit difficult to aim with TRACK IR cause the windshield frame is in the way : (

will update sometime soon when I figured what to do with this windshield. Probably delete it in pilot view I guess

@Icebreaker

yea will try to add the grenade thingy once I know how to : )

dual guns with zasleh : )

I still have no clue how to configure the grenade ammo for my renamed bomb launcher. Anyone have an idea how it's done?

basically I want to launch handgrenades from the plane. right now I use a renamed mk82 launcher and configured ammo for it:

class cfgMagazines {

class MiniGrenade;
class 5rnd_camelgrenade : MiniGrenade {};
};

class cfgWeapons {
class  Mk82BombLauncher;
class cameldrop :  	Mk82BombLauncher {
	magazines[] = {SmokeLauncherMag};
	displayName = "Drop Grenades";		
};

class  M134_minigun;
class camelgun :  	M134_minigun {
	displayName = "Vickers";		
};

};

Example where I displaced my own custom magazine with the standard smokelaunchermag for testing purposes - which doesn't work.

If I use my renamed minigrenades as ammo I won't even get the launcher as selectable weapon ingame.

Maybe I have to use the mk82 as base and change model + damage. No clue lol

[domokun 515]

oh yeah!

Just for old time's sake.

I say Biggles lets go for a quick jolly, what o?

[DSabre 2332]

I got a small request:

Is there any mission maker around who could make a small MP DM mission with Bots : )?

Would be awesome! Just make and post on steam or wherever and let us know here please

[SpaceNavy 16]

Omg yeeeesss

[sfod-d_snakebite 80]

Hey Sabre_Dust. First congratulations for the Camel. As many ppl say, it brings back in the old nostalgic time of OFP. However will you make a 2 seats version of it?

[DSabre 2332]

Update:

DOWNLOAD LINK

v 0.50

added bomber version

added frag grenades

fixed materials

PS: Thanks all. I'll think about a 2 seater. But probably not coming soon,

[sfod-d_snakebite 80]

Thx for the update! However, 2 seats version will be fun for easy mission. I mean that pilot fly and passenger/gunner use the grenade or can shoot with his rifle :cool:

[DSabre 2332]

I could probly add a wingwalker style position on the wings, or two to make it even : )
