~Too Tall~ 0 Posted April 6, 2003 for everyone complianing about these helos....i gotta question for you. what exactly did u expect to be done to these things to make them so "wonderful" as u want them to be... its a scout helo...with 2 small weapons pods and a laser designator...tahts all it is..its not a cargo helo...its not an attack helo.. its not some super duper fancy helo that u want it to be.. its plai nand simple..there isnt much BAS could do with it to make it "awsome!". the downwash script..the weapons loadouts..and finaly a black OH58..err a GOOD black OH58 is what it has been made into by BAS. they took a rinky dinky little BIS helo and made it better. if u dont think its all that great do the following * go to your OFP addons folder * highlight the BAS kiowa warrior.pbo file * press "delete" * stop bitching:angry: and your "problem" is solved. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Thanks for the picture Too Tall... Don't have much of CNN here in Sweden so I havn't seen the armada you are talking about.

theavonlady 2 Posted April 6, 2003 This is a very nice helo addon. I'm enjoying the SP demo mission - up to a point. After rearming with stinger, I've taken down the Hind and proceed to the town to lase the 2 com buildings, with my Apache in tow. I can't see to designate the buildings. What's the catch, if any? I've changed weapons to the LTD, left click and then tell the Apache to target the laser target. I also find it difficult to hold the laser's diamond reticule on the target. Any pointers?

If I select my gunner, a right click just zooms in my 1st person view. A left click tells him to go to wherever I was pointing. If I don't select my gunner, the left click issues a fire order. The LTD diamond reticule doesn't stay in place. Seemed to work fine with the boats at the start of the mission. Confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theavonlady 2 Posted April 6, 2003 Nope. When I've got the regular crosshair on one of the command buildings, I left click and this issues a FIRE order instead of a TARGET order. The crosshair turns into a dot but the diamond LTD reticule is floating off to the side. Frustrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted April 6, 2003 Just noticed something. After I've targeted the Hind, issued the fire order and downed it with a Stinger, they white dot that is normally within the regular crosshaor reticule is still pointing to the downded Hind on the ground. When I switch to the LTD. the white dot does not return to the front of the chopper within the crosshairs. Argh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted April 6, 2003 as for the mission: i simply told all AIs in my group to disembark, hopped in the apache and blew the command posts up by myself maybe a bug?: how come you dont hear the foxy engine startup sound when you declare your mission as a MP mission? the sound wont play as soon as you activate the "mpgame=true" command in a mission. did i get something wrong in the readme?

Abrams 0 Posted April 6, 2003 thats a nice helo as i said. it would be very nice to have cargo in TH-57... as for updates of classes with new versions of addons i think thats a good idea... i cant wait for MH-47E!

The foxy sound is actually a real sound from a UH-60 AUX power unit. On the local side the sounds are run by an eventhandler. I cancelled those effects for different scripts by means of the mpgame variable, to make sure all choppers could have the effects available. I deliberately left the sound out thinking nobody would notice (well done you!, but if you are keen to get it back, you could do this; Unpbo the PBO and goto the folder called "Engine".

Im just pleased the effects are getting noticed. Also please note there may be an error in the readme you have. To get the effects working properly in MP you have to run "\BAS_Kiowapack\mpscripts\mprotorwash.sqs", NOT "\bas_kiowapack\engine\rotorwash.sqs". Thats my fault for not checking the readme properly. As I say though I THINK it has been updated since. If anybody makes any GOOD missions for MP using the KIOWAS, please could you let me have them for my server. All BAS addons are suitable, and Seb Nam, but no others please. Thanks Guys TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted April 6, 2003 Now here's something I noticed. Maybe it's connected. Restarted the mission. Changed weapon to LTD. Joined up with 3 Kiowas and issued ATTACK BOATS command. Targeted boats and they all got destroyed - very fast BTW. Was told to head over towards the convoy. I switched weapons to Hellfires. Why is the LTD diamond still visibile in the front of my cockpit window? Also, when I switch between weapons to LTD, the chopper makes a bit of a jump. Strange.

Guest jacobaby Posted April 6, 2003 as regards the laser, once you have the diamond, you have to press fire again to get back to the dot while in LD mode. Thats not something we did, its the game. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm 9 Posted April 6, 2003 For all of you having issues with the LTD, don't blame us, its the BIS standard LTD (well... the one that came with the Kiowa in 1.30) Regarding the missions, please email to ballistic@concept-5.com with ALL of the errors/bugs reported in that mail... if you don't list the bugs it'll get deleted...
