PHY_Hawkeye 0 Posted January 2, 2003 Great Work BAS. You guys have done it again. Bravo I just sent a simple Co-op mission to opflashpoint.org for anyone who want's to see this puppy in action. It may take a while to appear there so I'll try and get some space to provide a link for a short time. Here we go: Co-op Mission Link will only be active for a day. Enjoy.

Nagual 0 Posted January 2, 2003 ahh, i slept right through release time, but anyhoo, until we get link up on Ballistic site, here is Ballistics MH47E Demo. BAS MH47E Demo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaNK_Em 0 Posted January 2, 2003 Well i tested it and loved it soooo sooo much very great work! Cant wait for the cargo script out. I vote for BAS to make a KC-130 Stratotanker for all the in flight refueling needs  BTW: Nagual did you mean to say the demo mission not the demo helo?

miles teg 1 Posted January 2, 2003 I just tried it out. Here are my thoughts on it: Neg. stuff/bugs- 1. Flight characteristics are not bad, but perhaps a tiny bit more sluggish then the regular CH-47. 2. Sometimes in a hot LZ, all the men aboard a chopper somehow die. I'm not sure what caused that... I only saw it happen twice. 3. Enemy machine gunners don't seem to shoot at it like they do the SEB NAM2 Chinook. 4. The door gunner with his excellent minigun, does not seem to ever fire at anyone. Maybe I just don't hear him firing or something. 5. It could use a custom gun site of some type. But that's not a big deal. Works fine as it is when playing the gunner. Positive stuff 1. The model is outstanding. Lots of very cool details like all the radar/FLIR stuff, ECM/COMs equipment, hoist, and infrared suppressors near the engines. I love the big refueling probe (ack that sounded bad) and the extra wide fuel tanks/extra armor on it. 2. Nice moving cargo door also. 3. No major bugs. I think that it still could be improved. For example it would be very nice to have the flare system from the G8 Tornado. But overall I think it's one mean looking mutha. I just wish I had some Delta Force/Rangers to stuff in it. Right now I'm using the Operation Code Blue soldiers in it which looks very cool on the Desert Malden map. Keep up the outstanding work!!!

I'll test that out some more and try raising the skill level. I was using Christoph's Middle East fighters so perhaps their skill level is down low. But they fire at the BAS AH-6 Little Birds just fine....just not at the BAS Chinooks. Anyways, I'll try it again. Thx. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaNK_Em 0 Posted January 2, 2003 Hmm as you said Miles the Ai gunner will only fire if you target and give fire command or something like that as for the people geting in sundely and dieing i tested it with a 12 man group under my controll and they got in fine dident test it with non group members. Im sure the final verison will have bug fixes cause BAS always gets things done with 110% work force Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miles teg 1 Posted January 2, 2003 Will the rapelling cability be part of the helicopter's .cpp file or it will it require an external script? I have a script that works nicely for rapelling, but it would be incredible if it was possible for any " in cargo" units to do that without a script. Keep up the great work!

dm 9 Posted January 2, 2003 no flares yet... it will be built into the helo's cpp and included in the pbo, so no need for external scripts  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ViperCheese 0 Posted January 2, 2003 i dont know if this happens to anyone else, but i have some problems with it. first, when i start resistance, (1.91) an error message comes up saying i need bas_soar to use the MH6 little bird, after, the games starts normally with no problems. everything works fine, all addons and the MH6 work fine. but when i try to load missions using bas little birds and soar pilots and some addon weapons in the editor, another error comes up saying that "cannot load mission, missing addons 'bas_soar'" what the hell do i do, i worked hard on these missions and now i cant load them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
