Open ofp:res in normal mode (no mods)

Try fly a plane in the editor on desert island... just fly the a-10 (BIS standard), then after a minute or two... the model suddenly becomes invisible???!!!!<span id='postcolor'>

Before accusing any 3rd party add-on & mod, just check facts. This happens to me too when I get out of map in an air vehicle. This is NOT a mod problem.

Incredible respect in these boards!<span id='postcolor'>

Looks more liek 1.85 problem. Ive reinstalled ofp on MY OTHER HD and the planes become invisible too

Hi I just tried some units in the mission editor.

What I find a bit ... whats the word... irritating (but thats too strong) is that the units that you made yourself (paladin,challenger, etc) really look "synthetic" in comparison with the reskinned ones. My knowledge of making is not such that i can tell you what is the problem, but it might be a lack of detail in both model and textures.

To my opinion this should be corrected.

I plan further comments after playing missions.

Bye and keep up the good work,

Congratulations Quarkergamer, I've downloaded the DEMO and as it says it's a "Demonstration", and a very nice one.

Indeed some things should be changed and fixed, but that is mainely what you guys made the Demo for, I think it served the purpose well, it showed what you guys can do and what people would like to see changed and fixed.

I specially liked the SG552, the M249, the Bradley and the Desert Island (smooth and simple why complicate?) it's a very nice isalnd,congratulations.

The installation program is one of the best I ever saw, very user friendely and complete, I hope the final project as an installation file like this too.

Some things should be improoved for the final version, like the SA80, some models for the soldiers used, and some small details,other than that I say this is a big promiss.

I think this one of the first MODs released althrough as a Demo yet, it's nice to see the amount of work you guys had, and specially the speed of production, please accept my gratitude for the effort you guys had on making our game better and ritcher, and I hope to see the final version soon.

Cheers,

Pedro (Skaven)

We will redo the challenger 2 and M109. I think that F15 and huey looks fine but u are right M109 and challenger 2 looks very basic.

The new model will be good I can tell it to you ]

And btw thanks Skaven for your comments

I have another thing. If you look at the map of iraq , iraq barely is in contact with the sea. Why not limiting the land around the map to a bare minimum so that it look like endless desert? Is this not possible or not desired mission-building wise?

Iraq map:

Just wondering,

the ofp engine does not support inland areas, so all your islands have to be surrounded by water

as for the opgwc mods map, i havent seen it so i dont know - there's no way i'm d/l'ing 200mb+ on 56k.....

For those who use HWTL and have texture bugs (Like FOrest camo BMP or T72 ,etc, etc)

Fun....

the UK Challenger 2 tank is remarkable weaker than the M1A1 Abrams tank.

Shouldn't the Challenger 2 tank be more powerfull than the M1A1 Abrams tank?

I think I know what you mean by "limiting the land around the map" (???). 12.8x12.8km is all that it is possible to do in WRPEdit. It is however, a big island...couldn't be all that much bigger really. The best way to make it seem like endless desert is to drop your viewdistance down to about 300

Believe me I have thought about how do the edges of the land, and I think a vaguely "natural" look is far better than just cutting it off at the edge. Also AI pilots have problems with steep cliffs...you have to set their skill at maximum to avoid really cliff, and even then sometimes they hit them.

As for images of Iraq...hehehehe i have a few. I am working on he next generation of textures as we speak, and I am hoping all of you will love them. All 512X512, colours sampled from photos of Iraq (I couldn't get Saddam to ship me any sand)....and airbases based (sorry) on US Military photos.... minus the big black craters of course

So the next release of the island will be bigger, better and brighter....and a fair way off......

In terms of weapons the Challenger should have HESH rounds as well as sabot and HEAT. It's 120mm rifled gun should be about equal to the M1A1's 120mm smoothbore in terms of damage caused.

In terms of armour, the Challenger should definitely be stronger than the M1A1 as it is the most armoured MBT in NATO (source: FAS), and that includes the M1A2 which is itself stronger than the M1A1 due to the depleted uranium inserts in its frontal armour.

As for mobility, both tanks should be about equal. The Abrams has a 300hp advantage over the Challenger but in terms of real life performance they both manage similar road and cross country speeds.
