bowzerdawg 0 Posted January 28, 2003 Greeting, OFP gamers! I’m new to this game, just bought it two weeks ago! My question on this board is if it is possible to make helicopters and VSTOL planes to land and take off from addon assault carrier ships like the USS Wasp class aircraft carriers and Kiev Class Aircraft carriers. Or do I need to buy the Resistance addon and update it to 1.91 version to make this work? This is no problem for me. I was planning on getting a copy this weekend. Also, does it require a lot of script writing to make helicopters land on it and infantry units walk around on aircraft carriers? I’ve seen some screenshoots of addon designers making aircraft carriers that are still in beta stage but they didn’t say if it was for OFP 1.46 or OFP Resistance! I have OFP version 1.46 and I am planning on making a Wasp class and Kiev class aircraft carriers with Marine Corps and Russian aircraft like the Ch-46, Ch-53, UH-1N, AH-1W, Yak38, Harrier, Ka-27, Mi-28. It’s for a campaign I want to create about Russian and Marine Snipers based on the excellent “USMC Ghillie sniper suit†and “TOW Marines†from flashpoint.org until Independence Lost is released. Thanks for any input! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonder 0 Posted January 28, 2003 The way I understand it, you'd have to get at least OFP:Resistance, because the collision detection is improved in v1.75 in such a manner that Helicopters can land on buildings, bridges, ships, ect. I guess it would be easy to get even AI choppers to land on a static LSD, with an invisible H on the deck. Haven't tried it tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowzerdawg 0 Posted January 28, 2003 Thanks for the response. That’s what I was just thinking just now, make a carrier as a static object or as an island if I re-edit the maps or make a new map! I’ll experiment both after I get OFP:R and post pics if I’m almost done unless if Independence Lost is going to be released sometime soon!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paladin 1 Posted January 28, 2003 At least some more info on the project would be nice. This is like when we were all waiting for ressistance. Only like 5 pics released of basicly all landscapes and bridges. It makes me crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philcommando 0 Posted January 29, 2003 bowzer, i wish u the best as an aircraft carrier seems like a holy grail to ofp fans, lol! However before u start, it would be a good idea to do a search on the various carrier projects being carried out in the past. That would save u countless frustration as there are limitations of ofp engine. For starters, u need to conduct experiments on overcoming the 64m geometry limits and 100m roadway LOD limits, cos your soldiers or objects will fall through the surface and drop to sea if your carrier is too long. This is the major obstacle to a working carrier. no aircraft will land on a short runway and 64m will only land one sea harrier. Secondly, u might not be able to transport aircrafts and move together with the carrier, probably works on linear with setvelocity, turn and your aircrafts land on the sea. Anyway, nothing is impossible, only time and patience ( and thinking outta the box) will create the prototype. The reason for my post is not to discourage u, but to encourage u to experiment and cut down your trial and errors time by searching past post. All the best!

Guest BratZ Posted January 29, 2003 Please will someone just make a Aircraft Carrier! I am making WW2 planes and if noone makes a AC suppose I will have to. We need one to land and take off from so that we can at least have battles. Doesn't have to be movable,altho thatd be nice,just that everything would drop in the water when you move If I make one I was thinking of proxy like positions for my planes,of course only the specific planes  would be able to park their.But if someone doesn't make one soon,I have a few ideas And would have to make all people move in a position when it moves BTW I would be willing to help anyone making a WW2 era carrier.Multiple gunner positions isn't a problem as the carrier would have to be made in sections anyways Just make the one big model and texture I can split it up and get it in game please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that, i making a V-22 Osprey.<span id='postcolor'> I think you would be able to get your Osprey to work now, if you look at all the features in the DKM Commanche and the video with the harrier from one of the mods, it should be possible.

peanuckle_00 0 Posted January 30, 2003 Hovmand is right. If you'd just not give up you'd be successful but it seems you have. Shame, shame, shame. I would have liked to experience the capabilities of the osprey.... You haven't given up on the osprey have you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TYsiEK 0 Posted February 20, 2003 Yes i've given up now. For this moment i making a gears. This osprey have been tested on VTOL script, yes a script from the Video Harrier. I have some problems with animations. This problem is animation limitation. I can't make multiple animation and i can't configure RTM for aircraft because it isn't possible to do in the OFP game .

Yoshiro 0 Posted April 27, 2003 For an AC that can move the mod makers should probly ask BAS for help. Â See if they can do it like with the helicopter where you "lock down" the unit while the helicopters in motion and then "unlock" it when you've come to a halt. Edit: Oh and Spad you better start talking. Where can I get me one of those Yours or somebody elses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lee_h._oswald 0 Posted April 27, 2003 Are there any information on this carrier? Or will it now disappear and never be released like the others we´ve seen over the last 12months? MfG Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfasi 4 Posted April 28, 2003 Just to let you know, The Falklands Mod have 2 working carriers, one of wich is over 700feet long. Unfortunately they will only be released when the mod is complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coporal_punishment 0 Posted April 28, 2003 The problem is that those aircraft carriers are British I would like to c the traditional US small aircraft carrier and USSR aircreaft carrier which is classeed as a cruiser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
