Aliens - dropship

Recommended Posts

there is only one thing I can say about this one ^_^

Go baby go.. I am so disapointed that there aren't many unrealistic addons out there, why confine ourselfs.. OFP is so free and open that is one of the best things about it.

between hoverboards, jump ships and maybe even the offchance of a mech/AC coming out ^_^ I think unrealistic is fun.

well the dropship should keep me busy for a little while longer plus I ain't into fiddlin' with characters and their animations so dunno about the marines but this ship is shippin' soon and we'll see where Frugo_PL gets with the APC....(hmmm that looks much easier to make) Also got two cropdusters on the way see the ADDONS forum for some screenshots....so patience fellows....

I must admit that the APC is far easier than the dropship... Well, for me it is harder because I do not have any *.paa© pics of it, so I have to do it in "by the eye" style... I will relese the APC pretty soon, don't expect months of waiting.

Wow that looks awesome!! Are you going to do USCM next?

BTW, isnt it funny how in many sci-fi movies, soldiers are always marines, even though there is no water around? Marines are supposed to be a water based battalion (hence, MARINEs, marine coming from marina), not an urban fighting force!

I think we should bundle our work (apc, dropship, M41) and release it as USCM-Mod!

Er,... who wants to make the soldiers? And who wants to build missions? I'll provide one mission with a story around a stolen sniper rifle prototype...

the dropship will have to be able to hover which means it is in a chopper class (no gear stuff confused.gif )

I have only one problem with this model!

The problem is, it has a two person walk-in cockpit, carries an APC which is longer than a Tank Chassis and as wide.

This model should be a lot bigger than it is. I'd suggest you get ALIENS out on video/dvd and check the ALIEN web sites to get your scale right.

By the way the pilot sits to the right rear of the cockpit and the co-pilot walks down the left to his/her seat.

I'll see if I can get the measurments for you along with some photo's.

Define landing gear animations (animate LandContact-lod?). We'll see how we can activate them...
