Its the lav revup again:

Recommended Posts

I know there are a few people out there making them, but they all say soon soon! We have heard that for months. I seriously need some LAV's for my NZ troops.

Or maybe a surprise would be nice...

You wont get a proper working LAV with the current version of OFP unless a work around is found for a few game engine issues.

This is why Operation Northstar's LAV/Coyote havent been released although they have been done for ages.

One of the varinats without TOWS could be made I would imagine.

GalComT is making LAVs to go with his new desert pack. They look pretty good, but there is only so much you can do with the OFP engine. Go here to see the pics in the news section.

Hi I'm with the Austrlain Defence Force Mod. We've made a Lav but with the craptacular engine we havn't released it. We will hoefully release it soon and then fix the zooom issue when OFP fix it.

You are saying that your's actually works 100%?<span id='postcolor'>

First of all its not mine but GalcomT (im working with him) and we are going to simulate the "canon" version (look how the Centuro - spelled it wrong probably- of the G8 mod is working).

But for the other versionms (LAV25 and LAV2C) yes they workj 100% in game smile.gif

What do you mean that it don't work ?

I know it is simulated but theres not a very big difference between this and a real tank sabot ...

So there are no hatch/view problems on any of your LAV's?

Yes, I know the thing fires. That was just one issue.

I wish!! My NZ troops are very unrealistic. I use the BAS Ranger Soldier, with a New Zealand Flag on the Shoulder. I also arm them very unrealistically!! I dont know how to take screenshots to post. how would I do this? confused.gif

Wouldn't it be better to use bimbi's british soilders because arn't the NZ and British cammo the same.

but we got the zoom problem with the gun. Can that be fixed and it if can how.

Well the best thing we can do is work with the Canadian mod (Operation North Star) and release the best addons we can. I'll contact North Star and see what they think.

Right hatch/view. Yup I guess that's aotehr bug from the engine sad.gif. Actually I don't really know but I think it might not work .But the hatch*view problems dosen't matter that much anyway!!

*EDIT* I was thinking, wouldn't it be possible for us to make just 2 rotations anims (for the hatch) and the soldier so that it works just like a normal OFP tank ?

All these issues for the LAVS have been discussed for months in the ONS forums. You might want to pop in and talk to Sigma as he has already encountered them all.

This was from one of his posts...

Powerslide is working on a possible script that might work to get the LAV working properly.

so, it "might" be possible.

I guarantee that no one else's was going to work up to this point from what i've seen.

EDIT: If it works "a bit" or it "kinda works", that's not exactly a good addon.

It's an engine issue and no ones fault but so far, it's still an issue that no one's solved.
