munger 25 Posted October 20, 2002 Vit is working on a KA-27 which is somewhat similar to the Mi-2. Here's a pic: http://ofp.gamezone.cz/screenshots2/ka27a.jpg Still needs work but if released it would boost the East's helicopter inventory which is a very good thing in my book.

cam0flage 0 Posted October 20, 2002 Heh, this would make a nice addon. It would be nice to see a Mi-8 too, it wouldn't be pretty hard to do, just rip the rocket pods from Mi-17. By the way, what's up with the russian aircraft industry and the designers? Am I the only one who thinks russian designs are pretty crude and "ugly" when compared to western helicopters/planes? Is Mi-2 still used? It's pretty old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackdog~ 0 Posted October 20, 2002 Yeah... I hope they release the Mi-2. If you could have parts fall off in ofp, you could just ram the rocket pods of the mi17 into a building and bam! - youve got yourself an Mi8 The mi26 is a pretty impressive cargo aircraft... it is like 1 1/2 times the size of the CH-47 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackdog~ 0 Posted October 22, 2002 Czechloslovakia and Russian skins would be nice... and high res textures like in Flight Sim 2002. Thanks for making one, Airwolf Looks like you are working hard on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munger 25 Posted October 23, 2002 I would also like to see a Russian camo pattern for it. The one in the pics doesn't really suit the OFP islands and makes it stand out rather than hide it. But to be honest I just want it to be released because it looks so good and the East are really lacking a small, agile chopper like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted October 23, 2002 Looks nice. THe chem. version could certainly be neat. I wonder if it will injure you if you're standing below it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Texture resolutions will be not higher than resolution of standard OFP's textures, because it's not for looking at but for playing with.
