You want cas? you got cas

[bucket man 2]

OOOOH! A mig-17. I have been waiting for those since oxygen came out.

Quote[/b] ]since yall are talkin about the nam pack air module..a nam era fighter pilot would be nice the default pilot looks more like a russian mid 80's pilot than anything american pilots ever wore...

Yeh I also think that'd be great We could then begin to use a nice pilot in all our new plane addons, with an oxygen mask possibly? maybe it could be moveable (like BAS delta/ranger's goggles), so it could be either on normally or sort of hanging off (or maybe even use the setobjecttexure to change it to transparent textures and so have it completely off).

Theres some more pics here and more helmets here

ooh,ooh,ooh! skyraider pack! nam air pack! yay! it is a happy day. now, if only, i could fix my computer and get back to opflash playing (boohoohoo). at least ill have seven million great addons to download when i get back. first thing will be this lovely sandy pack. (footmunch, did i mention i love you? oh and i'm gonna build me a little shrine to you on my computer desk oh, and FW200 and DigitalCenturion, beautiful skins, cant wait to get them either. nam style CAS with a supersheep twist (ie crashing repeatedly) here I come!)

//PS.. I added a random letter script for the tail letters

It was a lot of work to make the letter files.. and it doesn't fit perfectly yet..

http://members.home.nl/famvreuls/newsky9.jpg

Now I need to make the numbers work  

Hmmm..The random number generator should be OK, but please not random tail code (letters) These aren't just random letters...They're the code of the base where the aicraft is based like 'SJ' for Seymour Johnson AFB, 'HO' for Holloman AFB,'AV' for Aviano AFB,etc...

Maybe you could get the list of all tail codes used by Sandies in the Vietnam War and make these be randomly placed instead of any old letter? Would be much better

News:

F-105 Thunderchief makes amazing comeback. Textures by

Digital Centurion - added cockpit and some sounds:

Thud Link

Sandy about to go off to FW200's paint shop (FW check your PM).

It wouldn't be Friday without a new plane, so:

Miggy, miggy, miggy,

Can't you see?

You keep putting

Holes in me.

MiG-17 (Fresco) - Alpha - please don't moan too much about

the textures.

Mig Link

Oh dear -

Hooray -

Note that the F105 and MiG17 are a 'pair' of addons in that

they have been optimised for dogfights between themselves -

the Thud is faster, but the Fresco turns better.

Also, did someone see a Bf-109 around here, cos a friend of

mine would like a quick word:

Note - pre-alpha - it's just a basic mesh for now.

BTW: Most beautiful plane, evar!!!!!11

LOL your 'basic meshes' are always a lot better than most of the finished addons planes out there Footmuch Keep up the good work mate Oh- do you reckon it'd look better if you stuck the WW1 camel pilot in there instead of the default flashpoint one maybe? I dont know- see how it looks

cant realy argue with that can we

[miles teg 1]

Wow!  These are fantastic!  Even the Mig-17 is very good for just being an Alpha.  I love the new engine sounds as well.  

The only beef I have with the Mig-17 is that it does not attack ANY ground targets.  Even though in the Vietnam War there weren't any incidents of Mig-17's doing ground attacks, it would be nice to make a fictional mission where they did that.   Perhaps a version with rockets would be nice as well.

However I did notice one thing VERY cool about the Mig-17.

On one of its cannons you cleverly used the rockets to simulate machine guns firing from each wing.  It looks AWESOME and very convincing I think.

I really like that and I hope you use that technique for some of your WWII aircraft that have machine guns/cannons mounted in the wings.  

Fantastic job!  I greatly look forward when the official SEB NAM Air pack is complete so that servers will start hosting missions where you can go up against other players in F-105/F-4 vs.  Mig-17/Mig-21 missions.   Also I hope you reskin your Mig-21 to make a North Vietnamese version as well.  

Keep up the awesome work!  

Oh but one last thing.....  

Don't forget about the Vulcan!!!!

Well, there are a couple of errors if you look closely - I want

to imrove the wing filets (ie fueslage + wing joints); I think

the scale is a little bit wrong; the wheels should fold towards

the trailing edge rather than the leading edge ...

Also, the plane is a bit heavy on the poly's, but you can't

scrimp and save on the shape, it's just too pretty.

The MiG-17 model doesn't have ground radar (ie

irScanGround = 0), thus the AI treats it as a _pure_ A2A

interceptor, so the 'no-strafing' is by design. I can change

that with a small edit, but it's a matter of whether we want

to:

A) Have the NVA (what was the name of the North

Vietnamese air force BTW?) MiG's appear on the front line.

B) Simulate Rolling Thunder by having Thud's in enemy

territory being attacked by Colonel Tomb and the boys.

The rocket/cannon thing is used in the Sturmo already - code

re-use, doncha know? There's another method being done by

AiA (IIRC) on their 'Stang that's a little bit prettier, but a little

more script-intensive.

A MiG-21 reskin? Great minds think alike

Why not use the WW2 RAF pilot that came with Bratty's F4u Corsair pack?

Nice Spitfire btw, but I always prefered Hurricanes to be honest, [pimpage]here's one I made for a modeling competition, it's kinda rough:[/pimpage]

I was just wondering- are you going to put any nuclear weapons on the vulcan- I'd love it if there was one that used the nuclear explosion effect from CoC's Torpedos (that had a nice, relatively small area of effect as well- just right for flashpoint). Just a suggestion anyway

Can we have a FIA MiG 17? The FIA really needs new aircraft.

Here's a little reskin i did.. What do you think of the coloursheme? It seems that it was pretty usual in the NVPA (North Vietnamese Peoples Airforce) along with the "unpainted" silvery sheme. The pic is a bit dark, sorry. About 1,5secs after the screenshot was taken the plane was blown away by an attacking A-4.. i'm having alot of fun with my Vietnam air war battles...

Update on the Sandy's?

And the Mig17 is superb! Id love to see it finished soon.

Could you plz improve its turningcircle? I think its a little

too big right now.

Keep up the good work!

Uhm did you think of making the saber?...the perfect enemy of the mig 17 ?!?!?!

well just a question

That would be the MiG 15, the two engaged in some serious dogfights in the Korean War.

Before we all go over the top asking for brand new planes, let's all pester Footmunch and FW200 and DigitalCenturion and the other guy who made the dirtier re-textured Sandy (I'm sorry, I forgot your name, will you ever forgive me?) to get their acts together and release the Ultimate Sandy Pack! I'm gonna send them e-mails and PM's every seven seconds until this brilliant pack is released Give it to me now!!!!!

Oh seeing as it's demand new stuff off of Footmunch day, I wana Skywarrior ana Su-34 Platypus ana Tu-22 Backfire an some sweets ana teddy bear an..an..ana surprise ana BIG castle ana swored! I love your planes Footmunch, you're the best, will you marry me?

Oops. Sorry, got a bit carried away.

MiG-17 (Fresco) - Alpha - please don't moan too much about

the textures.

Mig Link

Mmmmh, Footmunch, I have downloaded the mig, and the archive I got seems not to work properly. WinZip gratifies me with an "unexpected end of archive".

Am I drunk, or is your archive incomplete ?

[Footmunch 0]

Quick post:

The Sandy's are currently in FW200's paint shop.

DC - Nice skin. Are you in contact with/ sending the skin to

FW200?

Malick - Try grabbing the file again. The .org site has been a

bit flaky the last few days. The zip should be about 587 kB.

Mox - Sharper turns? Do you want more roll, or more elevator

authority? Are you using a joystick?

FIA MiG-17 should be possible (and quick). Any particular skin

wanted? Bare metal with 'FIA' in green spray-canned on?

Sxep - Sabre vs. MiG-15? Is anyone doing a Korean War

MOD?
