Tigershark_BAS 0 Posted July 9, 2003 I was at MCAS Futenma in Okinawa this weekend and saw this baby in the flesh...and it is HUUUGE. Surprisingly the Chinook was nowhere near as big as OFP led me to believe. Took some awesome pics as well that will make it onto the BAS CH-53 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And on the regular version I didn't see anything hapen when I chose open windows other then the option changing to close windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donnervogel 0 Posted July 22, 2003 Hmm there are strange Bugs with the postion's (downwash, burning script not placed right), then I can run trough the chopper at some places. Then there is something messed up with the fire geo lod. hmm I'm a bit disappointed. But the handling is really much better now. At least that is positive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CuteQA 0 Posted July 23, 2003 i saw the mail call which introduced marine ch-53e last week, and i learned many infomation about this chopper from the program. Â Will scorpion be interesting to make a ch53e with a .30cal and add open/closeable "hellhole" in the cargo area in next version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
302_Dragon 0 Posted July 23, 2003 well as far as the gun..it's a 50 cal and yes...that is going to be added, from what Scorpio has told me. Now for the hellhole..I would love to see it added...right now we are in the early stages of beta testing this thing so much is to be added...not all of our secrets are coming out...if they did then there would be nothing to look forward to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acecube 0 Posted July 23, 2003 Now I tested it and there seems to be quite a problem with it! First I double checked if I got the new .pbo in my addons directory because the texes and the model look like pre alpha stage. The dust effect is there and the improved handling too, so it definately IS the correct version. Most prolly there must be something about the LODs as what I get to see looks like a 3.500 or 5.000 LOD. My OFP settings are set the way I can see any new high quality addon in full LOD (0.000 that is). What's wrong with the new superstallion? Anyone else experienced this? If somebody finaly told me how to post pictures INTO the board (below 100K) I would show you some screens. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
302_Dragon 0 Posted July 23, 2003 Remember this is a public Beta...hence the word Beta. The only reason we made it a public Beta is for you to see the progress and get a chance to give us CONSTRUCTIVE comments. The LOD problems are being worked on and have been improved from the previous version 10 fold. In the begining of this post it states that the textures are just temorery for now, Grimesy will be designing new ones with Scorpio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio 0 Posted July 23, 2003 Hmm...actually you may be encountering fuzzy textures and model either because you havn't put your OFP LOD settings to highest (No not in the Options, but in the OFP Preferances program)... or the textures maybe fuzzy because you ALT+TAB out of the game and then come back in encountering very blurry textures - and this aint just on my stallion, its on all addons - some of which you don't exactly notice.

Scorpio 0 Posted July 23, 2003 Ok well here's a few thing's I'd like to fix/add in the final version... - Fix all bugs and hopefully not make new ones - When the script position bug is fixed, I can make a cargo system for the chopper, and also fast roping, ect. - New sidedoor - .50cal in the sidedoor - Possibly new textures - New cockpit And umm.. I can't think of some more, but you guys can suggest if you want to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gollum1 0 Posted July 23, 2003 You can´t walk in cargo properly. I think the handling problems are still there, but now it´s flyable And I found one strange bug: If you stand in front of the chopper and shoot a bit to the right, under the rotor anyhow, your bullet connects in thin air and eats at the chopper´s armor. And maybe you could remove the "open window" command since it only fills up the action menu and doesn´t serve any useful purpose? Really looking forward to the REAL next version.

Scorpio 0 Posted July 23, 2003 Yeah, hehe... I'll take away the open window command. Oh and about shooting into the chopper armour - the Geometry and Fire Geometry models are both different, (they're supposed to be, since thats the way to do addons if you dont want a load on your CPU) So at some places the geometry will be bigger than the fire geo - I'll see what I can do anyway.. no big problem.
