My first project -> c-130 hercules

[Tigershark_BAS 0]

Looks excellent Axe....how many polys are you running in 1st LOD?

[AXE 0]

Capt. Moore's C-130 = 2595 polys, 2907 points

Hawk's C-130          = 5767 polys, 5388 points

My C-130               = 3347 polys, 3765 points

I will add some kind of paradrop script, but I haven't

started working on that yet. Does anyone have suggestions

about what my paradrop script should do or how it would

work?

Good grief!!!!!!!!!!!...........IT LOOKS AWESOME!!!!

but please pretty please make it flyable. It would be better to make a simple plane that flys decently than something that comes with all bells and whistle coupled with far-fetched scripts but cant fly for be used for anything but a photo-shoot.

Get it to basics done first before rushing into special features, then everyone will get to see the natural evolution of the craft as u upgrade. (hehe..unless u are like

Bratty who created the excellent and amazing Cosair, but i figured he took a few months of testing and experimenting before its release)

All the best.

Of course, the flight model is going to be probably the most

important thing. I've done tons of experimenting with the

flight model and I think that it has a balance of realism and

gameplay ability. It doesn't take the whole map to turn

around, but you can't fly it like a fighter. It is manuverable

enough to fly through narrow valleys and it rarely feels like

it is sluggish. But the most important thing is 'how is the AI

going to handle it'. Right now it can take off and land alright,

but it still needs some adjustments. I also changed the

taxiing abilities so it can follow the taxi path instead of

wondering off to the side of the runway.

Oh just a quick question I was wondering on do you think an AC-130 can bank left better then it can back right because of its weaponary ;)

*stands with mouth open for a few minutes*

If i had a digi cam i know a few herc pilots that could get some pics of the cockpit, i dunno what is classified or whether i know someone with a digi cam (we don't have any money ) but i'll ask. Keep up the good work.

AC130: Would to work to essentially script guns on the side?

Createvehicle a bunch of bullets when a fire order is given?

This really doesnt sound to good

[soul_assassin 1750]

AXE just dissapeared around that time, noone new where he went.

[raedor 8]

wasn't he member of RSS? Red Star Studios?

Hawk's Hercules looks maybe even better and it IS released.

[Rommel 2]

But you see - AXEs had no markings (US etc) and looked much better regarding textures.

Damn You AXE.... Unless your working away silently...

I doubt he has been working silently for 2 years .

[DKM Jaguar 0]

I doubt that. (damn you Hooahman, you stole my thoughts!)

Seems quite a lot of people have just gone missing from the community. Wonder what happened to some of them.

The sad part of it is people move on.. Or get swallowed up by mods.

Or they get swallowed up by me .

Unfortunately quite a few people have gone missing due to the Tsunami. Sometimes people can just bored and start playing something else, but I dont see how if he was so intent on making the C-130 he would just leave without tellin anyone unless something serious might've happened .

Well Moderators unless this thread comes back alive by Axe returning I suggest you close it or lock it.

Real shame..........................

Rommel, do not dig up threads over 2 years old. If it's not obvious enough already, this project is good and dead. Forget about it.
