hellfish6 7 Posted January 27, 2003 IL is the mysterious future version of OFP. Nobody seems to know much about it, except that there was a website that is now down that had some screenshots of Australian and USMC helicopters and soldiers, along with a Tarawa-class landing ship (the first in-game aircraft carrier.) Nobody has heard anything new about IL for over six months now, and the entire OFP world is waiting to see what happens with it. Go check out the US Military's version of OFP/IL to see a few more screenshots of what we might expect. VBS 1 As for this aircraft carrier, it is the HMS Ark Royal or Invincible from the Flashpoint 1982 mod. From what I hear, it does in fact work (for their Harriers -which use the ski jump - and helicopters) but it's still only in Alpha testing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â ... At the same muster I have to say; -- inspite of HMG cost cutting & much research into midge troopers (ie those that use fewer rations & ' T3 action man, the new generation' - we've still not got a minature aircraft carrier like that one. (save the one the old admiral floats around the older duck pond shooting geese with his black powder..... So many, even us lippy Brit's need a BIGGER ship plse..

FerretFangs 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Sure, if you want to call the Charles De Gaulle an aircraft carrier. I'll warrant the world hasn't seen such a nuclear-powered pile o' shite! I'll not embarass any poor French fellows, by telling what all is wrong with it, but lets just say it's been towed, ( yes, TOWED... ) back to port, unable to move under it's own power, dozens of times. Infact, it actually lost one of it's screws, ( Giant bronze propeller ) deep in the Med. Just fell right off the shaft... They actually went broke, trying to get this one ship in service, and it's still not finished! Infact, it'll never be completed, and combat ready, and they'll still be throwing money at it- tied up to the pier! Now thats funny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FerretFangs 0 Posted January 28, 2003 Sorry Rattler, I was a nuclear machinist mate 3rd class, aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, and was a plankowner... The Nimitz class carriers are still the ultimate naval warships in history... The Big E is a big beautiful mutha, but theres nothing like these: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/cvn-68-pics.htm This one's great! The world's biggest warship, doing a kick turn. You could water ski behind one at top speed. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/images/cvn_xx.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonder 0 Posted January 28, 2003 I'd like to see a CVN addon of same quality as the LSD. This carrier should be a static object (who is going to drive a carrier anyway) and the addon could include static Phalanxes and Sea Sparrow launchers, which you can place on its rightful places using SetPos when making a mission. Maybe the carrier could be in the "Groups" section in the editor, so that when you select it, it would come with all its phalanxes and sea sparrows. I've seen this used in the radar blockhouse addon. Also the addon should include scripts for Catapult launches and arrestor landings. Maybe the catapult script could work like this: When you taxi close enough to a catapult rail you'd get an action in the menu "Anchor launch bar". This action aligns the plane correctly with the cat rail and keeps it in place when you push the throttle to full power. After anchoring the action changes to "Launch aircraft", which uses SetVelocity to accelerate to about 180/200 km/h (You'll need to apply full power and full flaps when launching, otherwise you'll be sleeping with the fishes ...literally).
