My first project -> c-130 hercules

[AXE 0]

Hi I'm Axe, I've been modding OFP for a while now but haven't

released anything. My first release will be my C-130. here are

some pics:

It has a few scripted features like parking brakes (i hate

how AI jumps in a plane and starts moving before the

engine even starts), engine startup and shutdown, emergency

brakes, and custom gear. I will be doing a few versions of

this plane (note the lack of any national markings)

but basically I will be doing a grey version (shown) a green

camo version and a desert version. I will also do a version

where you can create your own c-130, you can choose from

different nose probe configurations and can apply totally

new markings. This version will be good for multiplayer because

you can have your clan sign plus your own custom markings.

I will also leave the p3d file unbinerized so that anyone can

edit it to their liking.

Although I haven't really started work on this, I will be trying

to make an AC-130 gunship. I can easily make the model

but getting it to be usable in combat is another thing.

Any feedback would be great and please remember that the

model isn't finished!

Holy shit... it looks done in it's current state. It's awesome man! Keep up the good work. The textures aren't stretched or blurry either... which is another good thing. Please, get a better cockpit interior than the other C130 (no offense other mod team).

Please, some closer up shots to the front window...

Wow looks great AXE so is that a new model, an existing one or an edited one. The plane grey looks awsome. I'm presumming you'll be using the set object texture so you can add a countries roundells on it. but great work

[AXE 0]

Yes, it is a new model, and it doesn't use any textures

from any other mods. The textures are 512 x 512, so it

should look quite crisp on a good computer (the screenshots

were taken on a 650 mhz with a 32mb card and it gets 30 fps)

This is what the cockpit looks like right now, but I have done

a lot of research on the cockpit so I will start on that soon.

Any help with cockpit textures would be great

At the moment it is no particular model... it's more of a 'universal' C-130. You'll probably see a lot of combined features

Edit: To get a comment from Marrs, it's very rare

Looks really, really good. Add a paradrop script and we're in business! Also, even if you can't get the gunship version working, release it anyway as eyecandy. I'd download it just to use it in cutscenes etc... Great work man!
