Guest BratZ Posted April 30, 2003 Just a updated beta of my Pacific Front Demo The planes engage very well now and is very exciting. I have someone working on some textures so I can't touch the model much ,but I worked on handling and weapons and such Includes single player mission and couple editor missions Features and Addons inlcuded: 3 Variants of F4U Corsair with many features including ACE Kill system (get a rising sun for every Zero shot down) F4U N - night fighter with dark scheme,1500 rnds mgun,8 rockets,4 250lb bombs,300m radar F4U BS - blacksheep in tri-color,fastest fighter,2500 rnds mgun,4 rockets F4U E - early war gray scheme,1200 rnds mgun,4 250lb bombs Curtiss SB2C Helldiver (very beta) - some current work done to it A6M2 Zero - in first stages of development but handling and weapons improved, has 2x7.62 and 2x20mm mguns and is very good enemy,some weapons sounds now Heres the link, again thanx to " Blackdog " : Pacific Front Demo Beta Coming summer here and I am also moving,progress may be slower now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BratZ Posted May 1, 2003 Ugg I noticed that the bomb proxies are not showing properly now, I will fix and update when I can, sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted May 1, 2003 The biggest problem I see so far is that the aircraft do not attack ground targets except for the night-fighter version which sometimes fires a few rockets... but even then they are very inaccurate. Then of coarse the bomber with the tail gunner... he's floating above the airplane when it's flying around and the pilot can't fire the weapons manually. But I know that its a real early beta so it's not a big deal. I personally would like to see the AI be very aggressive in attacking ground targets. I haven't tested the zeroes against ground targets but at least they go after the corsairs very ferociously. The handling on all the aircraft by the way is very good! I really enjoyed flying them! The textures also look good (although I haven't taken a close look at the zeroes yet). Keep up the great work! You might consider using the BIS made camel pilots as pilots for your aircraft by the way. Customized pilots would be cool as well especially some kamikaze pilots. Kamikaze missions would be easy to script because a trigger could be made remove the fuel. With a little experimenting with waypoints and trigger position I think it could be very cool. Anyhoo... thanks again for the awesome addons. I can't wait until the mods finished and we have some good pacific troops, units, and islands to stage massive battles with!!!

Guest BratZ Posted May 1, 2003 They attack the ground targets quite a bit when I try them? especially tanks, I did have to slow down the use of the rockets as they were firing too many and may have resulted in less ground attacks from that.The Night Fighter, Navy and Early War have bombs.(Just that the proxies arent showing and you dont see bombs on any) The Zeros only have MGuns Try the mission a few times, you may see that they are hitting the tank quite a bit, but the rockets are not very powerful and it takes a few direct hits. If there is planes in the air the Blacksheep will attack those first, while Night Fighter will attacks ground targets first unless they are getting shot at by planes, which keeps them busy with the planes first as the Zeros do engage well. The Helldiver through the months has had many changes and is usually the test plane of my projects,I had everthing lined up well at one time.But last release I removed the tailgunner completely.Whether it still works ,i am not sure.Its only in there for visuals right now.I have recently done a few things to the Helldiver and am getting back on the tailgunner,so that will all be worked out. Thanks for the comments, they really help and I will look into the ground attack thing again,things are getting busy around here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted May 1, 2003 Hmmm.... ok. I'll try it a few more times and with different units to see if I can get them to attack. I was using the Nogova map and the Landser WWII units as well some WWIIEC German tanks... oh... and GFX-707's AA flack cannon that fires slow single shots (It's called Flak 34 or something like that). Anyhoo.... keep up the great work and I'll get back to you on the ground attack problem I was having after I've tested the planes out on other maps and with other East units.

Guest Posted May 1, 2003 Another thing... what is the "use gun" function for the helldiver tailgunner for? BTW... this beta is a blast... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BratZ Posted May 2, 2003 Ahh if the Helldiver tailgunner is there he may not be bombing either. The Kamikazee is a good idea, I do plan on doing a Kamazazee with 500lb unlaunchable bomb (they really did this) Its too bad I do a little work and mess things up , the Helldiver was bombing and the bomb proxies were showing,I will get to that soon The Helldiver has a "use gun" option available when the canopy is open which is the way the tailgun will work I have a older pic: and a link to a newer pic showing the 3 Corsairsand Helldiver from the demo: Watch the popups and notice some of the Corsairs have a 3 prop blade finally pic from my homepage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoshiro 0 Posted August 7, 2003 You do realize this is an old beta, and he posted an update in his corsair thread. But he has not released and probly will not release a new beta to the public for awhile (he has to get some stuff done first) and his primary beta tester is Too Tall I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BraTTy 0 Posted August 7, 2003 The Pacific Demo can be found at OFPbase still: http://www.ofpbase.com/index.php Its under WW2 Addons and listed as "Pacific Planes Mod Demo" But as stated few messages a newer Corsair has been released and supercedes the Corsairs in the demo. The SB2C Helldiver has been updated also. All my addons (except the Red Baron Fokker) can be found at the wonderful OFPBASE newsite ,I have some addons near release and I am seeking a host Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueFlight 0 Posted August 31, 2003 has anyone a new download link for the demo? cause there isn´t a mirror on ofp-base (they changed url too). i need that zero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BraTTy 0 Posted August 31, 2003 Yes sorry , appears OFPbase has switched sites and haven't transferred all files.Many thanks to them for the almost 700 dl's the Pacific Demo recieved. I am still seeking a host, I've had an offer from the great OFP.CZ aka OFP.INFO and hope to get setup with them soon. Or else I may have to buy some webspace.I have some projects nearing completion and all these planes will be done among some others also planned. WW2EC has switched servers and there is a possibility of eventually getting all the files there. Appears the Pacific Demo is gone , I am sorry for that , ~too~tall has included the latest Helldiver and the Zero within his mission pack for the Corsairs and are available from him here: ~Too~Tall Corsair Mission Pack A newer Pacific Demo will be coming and will include more vehicles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
