Wires 0 Posted March 10, 2003 You know guys, most addon makers are quite happy to help people out if they asked in a professional manner and have at least researched what they are trying to do. Absolute newbies should complete some of the fantastic tutorials that are out there first. Trying to create something like the RAH-66 as one of your first projects is rediculous anyway My advice is to do all the tutes you can, recreate other addons it doesn't matter. Just get all the experience you can before trying to do a complicated addon that you want to release to the community. And all those having a whinge about .bin files should just get unPBO 1.3 you lazy buggers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bronski 0 Posted March 10, 2003 The nav map won't show up on custom islands, it will only show up on the official islands. That is probably your problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rastavovich 0 Posted March 10, 2003 The map works only on official islands (or also their winter/desert version). We have no chance to read out what island we are on and create a map out of it. So we limited that only to the official ones. If you are on a custom island only the compass shows up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted March 10, 2003 Maybe in version 1.111, 1.12 or 1.2 you can add a plain OD-green attack version?? This will most likely be the real-life camo. And OD-green blends in with Nogova really good. And why is it that the little vertical tail-wings are only added to Longbow version. I thought that all versions have this. The little wings make the bird look really great. Do like the addon as it is right now, though. You guy's made a big improvement since version 1.0. Love the new sound for the gun.

theavonlady 2 Posted March 10, 2003 Two bugs found: 1. I played Comanche Assault (Desert) from my Quanah Parker Mission Pack. With the new Comanche version, yellow waypoint markers are suppressed and not displayed. They were showing when using the first Comanche version. I made no changes to the mission since I released it. 2. Just to be sure this wasn't a general problem with OFP, I went to the 1985 campaign and selected REPLAY for the original Air Assault mission. This generated a "Missing addon DKM_MOD" message. I was able to click OK and continue but this shows that the Comanche is interfering with regular OFP play in some way. I recall reporting this when the Comanche originally came out. Here there was no problems having OFP display the waypoint markers. For this test, I've got a mod addons folder set up that contains only the following addons, used by the Quanah Parker Mission Pack: The DKM Mod's RAH-66 Comanche helicopter addon, version 1.11  Ebud's Jungle Everon Island addon, version 1.20  SelectThis' STT Desert Malden Island addon, version 1.00, including the addon's desert soldiers units  Zwadar's ZWA Desert Everon Island addon, version 2  Kegetys' Winter Nogojev Island addon, version 1.1 Note that my OFP\Res\Addons folder only contains OFP's original addons.

Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted March 10, 2003 Yes, STS_SolidSnake; I noticed non of the birds on the foto's in the galleries on both the Boeing and Sikorsky site have these little wings. But when you go to the boeing site the pic on top shows one with tailwings. AND in the news releases you can read that they redisigned the tail; The vertical wings are part of the new tail. It's not the final design, but it is the latest. So no reason for DKM not to put them on all their birds, sorry. ""Boeing has completed fabrication of a newly designed tail, consisting of vertical and horizontal stabilizers and new vertical endplates on the horizontal structure, for the Comanche. The new tail structure is a reconfigurable unit that permits adjustments of tail components to validate and optimize a final tail design for production. Technicians at the Comanche Flight Test Center in West Palm Beach will install the improved empennage for flight tests scheduled for mid-December. (2000)"" Read the entire newsrelease here;(second one with foto) http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/2000/news_release_001121n.htm http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/2000/news_release_001221n.htm To DKM; Have you guys noticed that all bird are plain OD-green?? Will you consider making one in this colour?? (Please) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gen.Carnage 0 Posted March 11, 2003 the plain green version is beeing made by others allready, this is why i've opted not to do it also, to avoid creating identical addons with different quality/features. Im not afraid that other mods may do a better comanche, coz i know they can, if they put enough effort into it. I've seen screenshots of semi-finished green comanche's made by other people, so decided to build the striped and the (fictional?) black, not to throw others off their work and let them continue with the green ones. Look at the weapons scene, a lot of similar weapons going around and people are comparing similar weapons from different authors, the regular ofp player doesnt want to do that, when someone says M4 for example, he/she should not have to look at 20 different M4's from different makers to pick a decent one. If i can avoid making stuff that is allready out there i will. (unless we think we can do much better) So, for a green one you'd better start asking the others for their status. If their status is 'on hold indefinitely/abandoned/not ready this year', we might reconsider. Incidently; we are still looking for an experienced texture artist.........

Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted March 11, 2003 on the green one; I see your point. BAS is also working on a Comanche (at least, I think they do). They'll most likely make a green version. And some other modelers might also be wqorking on comanche's. It would be a shame to see them stop, because you allready made one. But what about the new tail?

Stag 0 Posted March 11, 2003 The majority here seem to be saying what's good about the new version, so I won't go into it any more. but I've noticed one thing I wouldn't describe as good Man that tail fan, it's perfect. The attention to detail there is superb. A masterful piece of animation and skinning. Okay, that's it, I said it. Carry on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
