AS WELL AS FRIGGIN' TECHNICALS!!!!! WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GONNA MAKE EM' *sigh* Why hasn't someone made a technical yet? Before O2 Came out, lots of you were promising to make them when it did come out.<span id='postcolor'> I think that's because all interest in Somalia mods trickled away. There was one big Somalia MOD group that apparently disappeared. Likewise there was a nice Somalia map that was made but it had severe texture problems and I never heard anything from the map maker as to whether he fixed it or just gave up on it. I was going to re-do my blackhawk but I was waiting for a good Somalia map.... and also for the BAS MH-60 pavehawks. So far I haven't seen either.... just lots of Little Birds. But back on topic, I'd also love to see the ZSU-23-2 AA gun as a stationary AA gun in this game. Someone was working on one and it looked to be in advanced stages of completion but that was months ago. I guess they abandonded that project. That's too bad. There are a lot of great projects out there that addon makers seem to have abandoned. Anyone remember that crop duster that only worked for ver. 1.46? Whatever happened to that?

It is most definitely not a joke. I love the big fat yellow tracers that are fired from that thing. It is perfect for WWII missions in OFP where you have to bomb German targets. Also I made a mission where as part of team of Airborne soldiers you have to take out one of these AA positions...the AA crew can and do use their AA gun against you. It's obviously a very dated weapon system, but even in modern missions it's very fun to use if you just want to see a nice light show at night. Stick about 8 of these things around a target and you'll have a bunch of big fat tracers coming up at you with only a minimal chance of getting hit if you're flying a fast moving aircraft.

akm74 1 Posted December 21, 2002 My ZU23 almost finished. I just have to find way to use commander. There is a problem I got so far. If I’m defining ZU as stationary MG (even if it works fine and use ZSU ammunitions) I seem like unable to use commander options on it. I don’t even have “get in as commander†in menu. (And yes, there is a proxy for commander) If I’m defining it like ZSU, I finally manage to have options for “gunnerâ€, “commander†and “driver†(strange, because I don’t have even proxy for driver in p3d model) and most interesting are…. Gunner and commander become invincible.  ZU23 operate fine, you just can’t see gunner and commander from outside. I think I will reliase it only with  gunner options right now, and if someone want fix or find solution for commander , welcome to try. I will pack it with standard tools.

USMC Sniper 0 Posted December 21, 2002 I think you sohuld show the commander, and put him in a standing up position with binoculars. What do you need the driver for tho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikingo 0 Posted December 22, 2002 Hey! That ZU-23 looks so nice. Hope a good gun sound will be in the addon. Is hard to find the real sound of that beauty! Thanks AKM74 for bring it to OF world!! ps: like the "stars" details at ammo boxes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akm74 1 Posted December 22, 2002 I will post link to Beta in a couple hours here. If someone wants to mirror it (my free space has limit for download), welcome to do so. I still have problem to find good sound. It only beta guys (fully working). Please post your opinion and wishes in this treat… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akm74 1 Posted December 22, 2002 There we go http://www22.brinkster.com/akm74/ZU23.rar Remember , right click and "save as".. I hope you guys have Resistance add-on because texture is 1024x1024. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gollum1 0 Posted December 22, 2002 OMG!!! This addon is GREAT! The model is so detailed and beautiful, but the main thing is that I can USE this in almost every mission I make (go to hell, Shilka). This is still a beta, right? 1. The LOD is strange from a distance, it is white and looks like a different model... 2. The sound isn´t original, it´s the V-80 cannon´s sound. Are you sure that´s how the ZU-23 really sounds? 3. It´s called "tank" in the radio messages. Maybe "machine gun" or "shilka" would be better (or not, there isn´t much to choose from) I recommend putting these guns in emplacements, with 2 wood fences on each side of the gun, another soldier with setunitpos "UP" beside the ZU-23 and an Ammo Crate II (East) I noticed that you can´t target it with missiles, nice touch. Looking firward to the final version, and merry xmas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikkoFin 0 Posted December 22, 2002 Heh I was already making this before you made your one ready, so here's the screens: http://koti.mbnet.fi/~mikkoves/FDF/sergei.jpg But I was missing both barrels and the gun itself, so I borrowed yours for now But I have to see if I can get good textures so that we can get this to FDF.
