New official unit !

[S_Z 0]

I must say I’m really impressed by the texture quality of this little plane, especially the interior, great work!

Now that I know how to get of ground I have had some great dogfights with the AI. They didn’t put up too much of a fight though so I put myself in the camel against one F15E…now that’s challenging!

Those missiles are not too easy to avoid.

Ok, now I am officially in love with BIS:s wonderful creative software masters  

I have had wet dreams about WW1 planes in OFP ever since the demo was released, and when I passed through the main page on the way in here earlier tonight I could'nt believe my eyes!

Been hoping that some modeller would create WW1 planes, and when it finally comes, it an official addon!!!!   I love the graphics and feeling of the flashpoint universe, and now its made complete by some wonderful über scouts  

Well, what can one say.... I'll just bow and send everyone at BIS great big kisses    

btw, there is an awesome WW1 flightsim in the making called Birds of Prey, you can check out their site at:

Havin a ball with this, flying under the bridge is one thing i love, AND you can ride on the wings too, lol, never laughed so much in ages, thanks again.

Anyone got a pic of it next to Colonel Klink's SE5A for comparison?

I haven't patched to 1.90 yet so I can't do it myself.

I would piss my pants if bis made a WWI mod.

Imagine- A german skirmish line firing in a rolling field at englishmen. Running from artillery barrages. Cavalry charges.

In fact, this would fit in perfectly for early war, before the english/french/russians and austrians/germans dug in. I would love leading a cavalry charge, or chargina trenche

I doubt this is a "harbringer of things to come". One of the BIS modellers probably had the itch to make it and decided to share it with the community as a Christmas present.

Btw, this thing kicks ass. This has been said hundreds of times on these forums: "if you dont like it, DONT DOWNLOAD IT" lol. Really dont harp on what BIS decides to make. More than other companies, BIS are gamers just like us and they have things they want to play with too

[Harnu 0]

I hope they make a civilian one. W/O weapons maybe. It'd be nice to have another plane. Especially one that is more practical to jump off of than a cessna.

I'm pretty sure someone already made a crop duster. It came complete with "crop dust" spewing out and everything. Just search the forums and you'll find it.

To bad the gear doesnt break off like the gear on jets when you land them funny, the airplane is just a beta though right?

ORIGINAL VERSION OF OPERATION FLASHPOINT AND OPERATION FLASHPOINT: RESISTANCE.

Version 1.90 or newer (including 1.91beta).<span id='postcolor'>

Kermit sighs.

It looks pretty good. I've been a Great War aircraft fanatic for a long time. However, whyever the fuck is Resistance a requirement? Are they being greedy, or did they do this soley to spite me? That must be it. They want to spite me.

I suppose I am biased, being so obsessed with flying and all, but I feel that this is a good add-on in spite of it's apparent irrelevance to the era in which the game takes place. It is military, and that is what is important to Operation Flashpoint (besides, the AUG isn't chronologically accurate either, but it still adds to the gameplay). I'd be gushing about it right now if I could only use the damned thing.

If my opinion is worth anything, I would like to add some constructive criticism to this cool add-on. I would suggest removing passenger capabilities in the final version. The real plane could not take two or three people. It might manage with two, but it would barely fly, and where the two passengers now stand there is nothing to support weight. The men would rip right through the wing.

Complaints aside, THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANE! It's an excellent thing to release for Christmas. Not only is it very pretty, it seems quite accurate. Please, pretty please let me fly it with version one point four six? I would be very very happy if I could (in fact, I promise to stop complaining about all the other add-ons if it happens).

What was the purpose of this? Is this the remnant of some kind of test? I hope it isn't the complete waste of time it appears to be.

Please fix the @#+*$^*(*%^!!! game's bugs and stop fooling around.

[Blake 0]

Very funny addon, though you have to make some kind of cover story to include in in modern-era missions like 'Everon Historic Aviation Club decides to fight to the last...'

Shows that BIS never lacks the imagination to create something really original

Thank You BIS

I don't think you are in a position to dictate what BIS (or any individual BIS employees) should or should not do with their time...

Oh, and many festive thanks to BIS for a ripper addon

[Mr B 0]

OMG. OMG!!!!!!!!!!! That thing is COOL!

I can't wait until I get my mits on Resistance .

And all you people bitching about the realism and BIS's priorities, the bugs piss me off too, but try and appreciate the fact that they still hand out good quality, free addons. I have a list of games longer than my arm that have little to no company support, so I am very grateful that BIS still stands by it's customers .

Looks kickass, can't wait to fly it.

Cheers

It's beta - to me that indicates that there will be a finished version at some point. Maybe with some other units too? After all they didn't just make the plane but took the effort to add a Great War era pilot, too.

I fear it's a cruel teaser to prevent us from being happy with what we got (now that the netcode is finally working and most bugs are removed). Now we will all wait for 'OFP: The Great War'. Anyone remember the suffering until Resistance finally was out?

Damn you BIS!

Excerpt from the V1.90 README:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">BUG FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN 1.90

==================================

1.90 - Fixed: Keyboard rudder control enabled while taxiing.

1.90 - Added: functions isEngineOn, engineOn

1.90 - Improved: Better airplane AI dogfighting.

1.90 - Fixed: Airplanes try to avoid mid-air collisions.<span id='postcolor'>

Could it be that the new addon and mission would have been impractical or less useful without the fixes and enhancements? I think the answer is obvious.

Had great fun with the BIS present

Dogfight and performance is great. The thing is really hard to fly in 1st person view.

Only thing I wondered about were the grenades listed in my gear, but not dropable from plane. That would rock !

As it is still BETA I wont hang my hopes out of the window

I had great fun landing at a hill side turning around with the rudders and hopping into air after another 10 m´s

Thx BIS !

Shows that BIS never lacks the imagination to make something really useless

They could just as well have created something USEFUL!

It´s like the fire department coming to extinguish a house fire, then they use their fire hoses to start a pool party!!!

And the crying children who live in the house look on in horror, and their parents wonder why they pay TAXES!

Oh and merry xmas BIS

[GAMEER_77 0]

Nice

Little hard to handle with a mouse, and to get off the ground, but it's wicked cool fun!

Like the new animation, and the cockpit.

Useless my a$$

[Kermit 0]

If the fire has already been extiniguished, what's wrong with a friendly little pool party, man?  Of course, you just cannot get too involved in a pool party, or you will not be able to deal with new fires.

I have a question… has the rudder on the airplanes never work while flying (I know it works on ground)?

I usually only fly helicopters in OFP so I don’t know. I miss not being able to use the rudder to turn this little airplane.
