Major Fubar 0 Posted February 3, 2003 A few people have mentioned this in recent helicopter related threads, so I thought I'd collect the pics all in one place. I can't find the thread where he said this, but I believe his last word on the subject was he wasn't going to release it until a proper O2 made Apache pilot was released. Anyone want to take on this project? The Soar/Littlebird pilots from BAS are a step in the right direction. Of course, all of this assumes that Satchel is still around, and still has this work in progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAP 2 Posted February 3, 2003 I like your next "evolution" Major Fubar Yeah, we should ! I m waiting for this Apache also a long time since he showed the first screenies. Is he actualy gonna release it when he has a good pilot ? Or are you just assuming cause the last thing he said was he had problems getting the pilot's visor (i think something with night vision not working right ) right.

mr. Duck 0 Posted February 3, 2003 Is this just a skin or a complete new addon? Could try to get somebody to do the cpp scripting (or I learn scripting and do it myself, if that's needed). This thing is beautiful. edit: just like the girl in you're sig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-A-V-Trekkie 0 Posted February 3, 2003 Well it´s just that I haven´t heard a word of Satchel in more than a year and he´s german and me2 and so it´s very unlikely that he´s still working on this/interested in flashpoint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio 0 Posted February 3, 2003 I agree...there's no point in making the pilot model now if Satchel doesn't show up with his AH64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munger 25 Posted February 3, 2003 Such a shame. It's a great retexture. But it's true - Satchel hasn't posted on the forum since Resistance was released last June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr. Duck 0 Posted February 3, 2003 Maybe we could mail him? Maybe he answers then, we could ask just for the textures and work it out from there, does anybody have any contact with him anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theavonlady 2 Posted February 3, 2003 Personally, I don't like it. Looks very metalic, mechinical, mech-warrior, construction-set like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr. Duck 0 Posted February 3, 2003 Maybe he's dead, for real... Or maybe he just doesn't care about OFP/community anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jester983 0 Posted February 3, 2003 Well Ive been here for about a year now and from what ive seen. Satchel seems to come back when he has big news or when he has an idea that could improve ofp. Right now its hard to say where he is... Anyways back on topic. I would love to see these things released. I remeber satchel saying that he wouldnt release it because he was having problems with the helmet and the night vision. Pretty much what major said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if he reads or hears about this thread, maybe he could consider sending his skins to someone else to complete the project. The models have changed ever so slightly thesedays anyway (I think - rotating gun on AH-64? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonder 0 Posted February 4, 2003 The real apache's rocket pods aim up and down a little. Could this be made possible in OFP? Meybe you'd have to define another turret for it, which is not (yet?) possible Anyway, another thing i'd like to see is stiger tubes on wingtips and maybe a longbow radar. And yes, we definately need a new pilot model! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john_mcclane 0 Posted February 4, 2003 I get the feeling that his AH-64 may never be released. Like someone else said, he may not even play OFP anymore for all we know. Sure seems a waste though, it was a great looking Apache. He should have just released it instead of being so eccentric about it being 100% perfect and 100% accurate. I appreciate someone doing a good high quality job, but really. The pilot and any other enhancements could have always been added later! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
