Thank you for this incredible addon, I'm having incredible amounts of fun! Maybe now people will realize that you don't need to build some kind of superjet (that doesn't work with OFP's engine anyways) To have fun

My only complaint:

Sometimes I wish you guys had never included multiplayer, as it results in these stupid arguments by l33t dudes bitching about their stupid netcode. I'm on a 56k modem, and have never played OFP online, and I hate how many great missions are being released, but only for multiplayer! Sometimes I think the world would be a better if these two things were never again combined in a game.

Merry Christmas Bis

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.

Was I dictating to them? I asked a question. I find someone spending the time to make WW1 airplanes and bicycles in light of the current situation with the OFP engine a bit strange.

I mean, they could have put a turret on the BRDM2, or maybe a TOW launcher on the Humvee, or add a Russian heavy machine gun, or the countless other things we have actually been asking for and could use. But no, instead we got a bicycle and an obsolete airplane that doesn't fit into the OFP time period.<span id='postcolor'><span id='postcolor'>

NO DOUBT!! Since the release of 1.90 game play on-line has become a complete joke! I'm not even gonna mention how screwed up things have gotten with 1.91. There are atleast 10 TOP quality people creating addon's for this game... INCLUDING BI-PLANES! With that in mind, you would think BIS would be concentrating on the patches... not useless models!Besides the game is called: Operation Flashpoint 1985, NOT 1930's!

You guys released O2 for modellers... Since then they have taken this game to new heights. They are doing what they do best... models. Why not concentrate on doing what you do best? OPF IMHO is the best to EVER hit the market PERIOD-HANDS DOWN! But it seems that with ever patch released on-line game play gets a whole new bag of worms and with 1.90 has become all but unplayable. 160 maps on the server we played with 1.75, yet now with 1.90 we can only play 5 of them because of false addon messages that crash everyone back to the lobby, or to their desktops! Now with 1.91 it's gotten even worst, if you can imagine that. Most all the official league maps now have ammo pouches that spawn by the hundreds until the game is so lagged out NO1 can play even with 4Ghz machine... Sad but true! All we wanted for Christmas was a patch that actually worked... What did we get? A bi-plane... aka lump of coal... wow, thx alot Santa.

PS... to all you ass kisser's that told me to STFU... Have fun playing with your new toy and fighting AI in SP mode... I could careless about SP mode. May comments were to those who bought this game to play on-line against humans... something your not capable of. You Polly Annie one liners have no effect on me. Fact is you prolly could'nt fight your way out of your own house...<span id='postcolor'>

What are u talking about. 1.90 netcode is much better than 1.75. Maybe you just didn't find the right server.

You seem to miss the point that its two almost independent groups within bis doing the models and the coding. Making several thousand bicycles, WW1 planes and ugly small cars (and whatever model you want to bitch about) doesn't affect the speed at which engineproblems may be fixed, since its programmers fixing the engine - not the artists.

I think I just got banned from two servers, and acted like an ass on Stoners.  And some crap happened on radishville.  I think a post restriction is now just calling my name...

What I tell ya.  Ralphy is giving me a 12hour PR for posting in the Duck thread.  lol.

But on the topic. I've been able to hit other planes and make them crash. However I get away unscaved. Pretty neat bug

Don't worry about me, I'm enjoying the BTR-70 and SZU-23 addons that were released today. Oh and that gigantic Sopwith-killing, window-shattering Mi-26. Great presents by the community, while BIS gives us socks.

So Merry Christmas to all the hard working modellers and mission makers out there. And Merry Christmas to BIS for making it all possible in the first place.

I think people are afraid that BIS will suddenly "suprise" us all with the next addition to OFP being a skateboarding-deerhunting game with a soundtrack by P. Diddy for the Gameboy console because Codemasters thought this would be a great idea.

Or more seriously, the problem really may just be that there isn't much info about BIS's plans coming out at all. It makes people start speculating about the future of the game.

Suma forgets one thing, everyone on this forum knows everything. So of course he is obligated to listen to us, because, well, we know everything! If BIS listened to all of us they would be trilllionaires. If they listened to us they would have the greatest game EVER! There would never be any competition, because our super suggestions helped make it the best. Suma, watch what you say, because we know everything.

Well crap, there goes my ultra secret plan, guess I'll have to stop work on my skateboarding deerhunting game.

I'm not really sure where the idea to include that plane came from, but I'll take ANY official addon I can get my hands on.

I'm not saying I miss all the bugs that were patched, but I DO miss the patches that included addons:-)

Whoa kids check your target, I never said anything to Suma, my comments were to Select this and in response to his.

You don't like what I said? tough, your dislike doesn't make it less relevant.

As far as the young man with the foul fingers, ya type tough, can ya back it up boyo?

[nyles 11]

Great work, BIS! Nice model.

However, is there any chance we will see some more NATO vs CCCP related addons in the near future? I guess many people will of course find a way to incorporate the Camel into some missions, just like with the bike in the last patch, but well, how should i put it nicely? Mhhh, what about a proper russian static MG, a BRDM2 with turret, any armed Hummer, a PK-mounted UAZ, a MI-17 without the missile racks or just an open-toped Ural? Every single one of would have been the prefered choice if the community would have had the oppertunity to select a new addon via poll. Don't get me wrong, any new model is a welcome thing, be it a Camel or one of the above listed ones, but right now, I get the impression that civilian and/or outdated vehicles/planes/etc.. have an higher priority than proper military addons of the last 30 years. I mean, that's what the game is about, or?

[theavonlady 2]

I'm trying to take off with the Camel but it won't get off the ground.

I'm pointing the mouse up high and center, pressing the up arrow and shift keys simultaneously and I've lowered the flaps twice. Works for all other planes.

Any suggestions?

(Curse you, Red Baron!

[Harnu 0]

When you hit 60-64mph, nose down! You have to angle down to level the plane out. Then as you gain more speed, then you can lift off.
