The ultimate c-130 from hawk

Recommended Posts

Well here is a heads up about the work status.

Hawk is working a lot on this plane this days and works are very advanced by now, I am helping as much as I can and since both like high quality work, even if we extend the release some days the final add on will be a high quality one.

As I told you the works are very adavnced, basically all scripst are done, most of the modelling also and we are ending the avionics (flight instruments) to work the more real as possible.

Here are some pics for you to enjoy.  smile_o.gif

Some air refueling pics. The script works real nice.

And jumping.

GCS0042b.jpg

Due the forum limitation I am posting small images.

For a more detailled high quality pic of the C-130 add on click HERE

So far this are the features the plane have.

Realistically animated landing gear

High detail cockpit with a full flight deck

Mid air refuel for planes and helicopters

Extensible fuel hose

Stall warning with realistic sounds

Low altitude warning

3 animated doors plus operating cargo ramp

Flare automatic anti missile, with a sound warning alert.

Group parachute script (spacing each jumper so they do not chrash midair)

Cargo release (can carry jeeps, hummers, ammo crates...) The cargo is parachuted. This last 2 options have animated cargo ramp operation.

Plane will display XML logos

One of the latest additions is the possibility of Thrust Reverse (inverting propellers picht) this way the plane can land on short runways and stop in small spaces.

The add on will carry a couple of demo missions with scripts that show how to create triggers so a Leader on ground cann order the Hercules pilot to drop its cargo or troops on his command

Is very possible that a Winter and Desert cammo version are released too.

Unfortunately the gunship version (Spectre) is placed on hold due the OFP machine limitation that make a that planes can only fire  forward not through lateral gun mounts such helicopters can do.

Haw is working full time and I am trying to follow his path so expect more news soon

WOW, this looks to be one of the best addons I've seen.

Question: If you are the plane being refueled will the refueler fly straight and level?

PS

Fine then a person will accelerate due to g until F = ma is counterbalanced by the drag caused by your freefall. (this is termainal velocity)

Thus a parachute slows you down as the drag is greater and so the terminal velocity is lower. biggrin_o.gif

Wow This addon kicks ass please keep us updated with more stuff :P and that Refuel Probe works very smooth tryed it out with SEAL Team 8 with a HALO drop i am sure that will rule all the HALO missions biggrin_o.gif

Furia if you and Hawk pull this one off the OFP community will bow at your feet!! tounge_o.gif  tounge_o.gif

Are the refuelling booms retractable for when you want to land?

Can you equip your plane, an MC-130 for example, with the BLU-82B? Then it would be purrrrrfect!!

I hope Hawk decides on allowing a gray version.

me too, or i least, i guess each MODS could retexture it to their national paint schemes (OfrP to french colours, bw-mod to german's, etc... )

I believe i can flyyyyyyyyy... i believe i touch the skyyyyyyy

j/k

stop making fun of the french army

being a former frenchpara in the 1st regiment of hussard paratroopers i find it pretty fustrating having to read comments like these MILITARY IS NOT POLITICS you should know better than that biggrin_o.gif  biggrin_o.gif  biggrin_o.gif

Come on guys the french armed forces are some of the best trained and equipped in the world (just check out the operation frenchpoint addons!) i have two words to say "Foreign Legion!" Just cos you yanks may question french foreign policy that does not give you the right to insult their very capable armed forces!

Back to topic, if this herky bird is even half as good as the screenshots suggest then its going to be absoloutely incredible! keep up the good work Hawk! biggrin_o.gif

Well Nagual The BAS_Sealteam8 but you need to give them the swimming scrip because now i only can drop them above water from the plane but its cool to see the Pointman as a leader and with his Strobe light on and flashing in the night ejecting form the C130 and then the some snipers with those over powerd Sniperrifles ;) yep i know it and if you dont belive me i will show you some pictures of the seals and the C130 wink_o.gifbiggrin_o.gif

Well about that Jump light mabey you can use the Jumplight script of OFPR but make it better so like:

The Pilot/Chief of the plane haves the option to activate the Jumplight to Green Status Red Status but then if you press the Green for the first time then the Soldiers in the Cargo will go true a animation phase like Standing up and go in Standby postition and then if you press 1 more time the button to wanrn the cargo the cargo will jump out of the plane !!!But!!! if the doors are closed the soldiers cant jump then so they will say like: Negative and will stay in the plane till the doors are open and a new command is given.

I hope HAWK will implent that it gives more realisme to the plane right?

That whole light idea is perfect. The other idea about making a grey version is another perfect idea. Aren't these C-130's launched off of the decks of carriers? Oops. Anyhow, the grey version sounds like a good idea. Grey seems to be the normal color for non reflective high altitude aircraft unless you mean black for night operations. I support grey, black, and desert.

You will not be deceived  tounge_o.gif  I can assure you that

The plane it is taking its time, actually the plane it is already completed but we are adding it more stuff, animations, options and actions.

The waiting is worth to end up with a bugfree high quality add on.

No air force uses the C-130 in black. And also ; A desert one would be nice, but no major air force uses desert camo Hercs.Only a few North African and Middle Eastern countries.

I think that depends if you count the CIA as having an Air Force?

CIA C-130

Quote[/b] ]Aren't these C-130's launched off of the decks of carriers?

it can be done:

Quote[/b] ]The trials were conducted aboard USS Forrestal (CVA-59) in

October, 1963.  The aircraft involved was a USMC KC-130F.  

Modifications to the aircraft comprised the installation of an

improved antiskid braking system and the removal of the external

fuel tanks.  A sink rate of 9 feet per second was employed, with

the first landings made with a 40-knot wind over the flight deck.

The crew included a pilot, copilot, flight engineer and a Lockheed

flight test pilot.  Twenty-nine touch and goes and 21 full-stop

landings were made without the benefit of arresting gear.  The

propellers were reversed while the aircraft was still a few feet

above the flight deck.  These were followed by 21 unassisted

takeoffs at gross weights ranging from 85,000 to 121,000 pounds.

(To put that into perspective, the maximum takeoff weight for

the C-130E, on which the KC-130F is based, is 135,000 pounds,

with 155,000 pounds permitted in emergency wartime situations.)

At the lower weight, the airplane came to a stop in 270 feet, which

was just over twice its wingspan of 132 feet.  At the higher gross

weight, landings required 460 feet.  Takeoffs required 745 feet.

A special offset "centerline" was painted on the flight deck for

the trials.

Yeah I saw a documentary about that on Discovery Wings a while ago...It was a trial and the project was discontinued so that's the end of that smile_o.gif

Well more ideas:

About the fuel line(s) well i like to see a script that adds some eye candy to the Fuel line so like : if you are attached to the fuel line and the fuel is starting to pump it in to the tank and the herc steers left without notice it to the plane/choper thats refueling then you see the line is disconecting from the Plane/chopper and you see fuel coming out of the pipe so it looks more real ande mabey you can at some thing if the fuel is leakign to much it can go inflames so your plane/chopper will explode and mabey the Herc to?

nice idea? or not smile_o.gif ( i got more )

Well another idea:

Can you add a Crew Chief place to the cockpit so that person is controling the Red/Green light secense and mabey he can be the Commander of the plane and you can think many more on that i hope you will add that because it looks cool to have the full crew smile_o.gif and that is doing all his works.

Well here yuo can see some more info about the plane mabey it helps?
