Badassdom 0 Posted November 8, 2003 could the guys give a rough release date for the beta versions of the ships? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfasi 4 Posted November 8, 2003 At the moment we plan no release's of the ships in beta format.. This does not however alter the planned release of an updated version of the 1968 Hermes which although not directly related to the Falklands War does share 99% of its construction with its later modified form in 1982. I have no date for this as I am working on several ships at the same time and in this case its a rebuild of the deck textures and a few other features not present on the first beta.

Badassdom 0 Posted November 9, 2003 will the Hermes have weapons on board and if so will they be single units or intergrated in to the ship cause when I tried to put some Swiss mod rapiers on the 1968 Hermes they kept firing into the ship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevbaz 0 Posted November 9, 2003 if you watched the trailer, and look at my avatar you can see a Sea Cat missile launcher fireing, this is one of the thwo rear launchers she has. And im sure i answerd this a page or two back....;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfasi 4 Posted November 9, 2003 will the Hermes have weapons on board and if so will they be single units or intergrated in to the shipcause when I tried to put some Swiss mod rapiers on the 1968 Hermes they kept firing into the ship Hermes will have Weapon systems and Radars aboard as single units. (Along with all our other ships) The solution to firing into the ship has been done be usign weapons with restricted arcs of fire, much like the real ones. The weapons in real life would either be non-trainable in dangerous directions (like the way I have done it) or have the firing disabled when pointing in certain directions, likely the first, its easier and not that technical to implement.

cbfasi 4 Posted November 9, 2003 Oh Yes, this may interest you Uncle Sam. I have intentions to do the Stores ship RFA Stromness, which happens to be one of the few ships the US Navy have purchased from a foreigan navy after active service, Now Known as USS Saturn (T-AFS-10)(MSC), this data was valid in 91.

Uncle_Sam 0 Posted November 9, 2003 CBFASI, i got a idea for you and your ships, why not have small not to bright run way ligts and a couple of small lights for optimal night missions, the Falklands War was mostley fight at night so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfasi 4 Posted November 9, 2003 Already being worked on, piccies unavailable at this time. We even have the lights used to inform flight deck personal and pilots of the status of the flight deck (this works great visually!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfasi 4 Posted November 17, 2003 Technical Differculties.. It seems that both the Mod Forum and Website are temporaily unstable. It seems we may have hit bandwidth limits, the effect is the forum is coming and going so please bear with us while we sort this out. And yes its being worked on as fast as possible within real life limitations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HunterKiller 0 Posted November 17, 2003 Probably because of the object size limits of ofp also if it is a ship that has many features it probaly has been made in two or three seperate sections. But i am working on a way to get large ofp ships to move Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
