dm 9 Posted September 6, 2003 Oh, I meant to ask, how are the armed HMMWVs and trucks coming along? Quite nicely thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alakaluf 0 Posted September 6, 2003 I think the code you need is: removeWeapon"M9"; (or whatever the original pistol name was) and then: Â this addWeapon"otwM1911A1";Oh, I meant to ask, how are the armed HMMWVs and trucks coming along? No that won't work either... you have to put this into the init-line: Quote[/b] ]removeallweapons this; this addmagazine "otwm1911a1mag"; this addmagazine "otwm1911a1mag"; this addmagazine "otwm1911a1mag"; this addmagazine "otwm1911a1mag"; this addweapon "otwm1911a1mag"; If this doesn't work try "otwm1911a1" as magazine-name...

Sweet_pup 0 Posted September 6, 2003 Thanks for all the replies dudes, that is awesome. I really appreaciate the help. On the other hand, look what you put us through BAS. Shame on you, I demand an apology. I would also accept a role as a Beta Tester. Â (I was just kidding with that last line, Don't send Evis after me with a garrotte) Thanks again for all the help guys, I do appreaciate it.

Sweet_pup 0 Posted September 6, 2003 BAS- I got one more question, it may have already been answered, but here it goes. Are we gonna see this in any updates? (US Navy SEALs Fast rope onto target boat in exercise from an MH-6 Little Bird) Sweet_pup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted September 6, 2003 Have you even read the thread and the news on the BAS site They WILL make SEALS silly_pup. Actually the progress bar says they're 75% done. or did you mean the fast rope from the LBS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted September 6, 2003 i´ll choose answer 2 and i dont want to choose the audience joker. for sure he meant the fast roping from the LBs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted September 6, 2003 hmm. If I remember correctly they said on the OFPEC forum that they won't implement fast roping on the LBS's because it's rarely done. I'll try and find that post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted September 6, 2003 yeah you´re right, i remeber that too but i still like the suggestion to let the LBs carry KLRs thou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try and find that post Shit. I seem to remeber that too. One thing to consider: Just because it is rarely reported, doesn't mean it is rarely done. The 160th SOAR is a special forces unit, and alot of their missions are still unknown of. Not only that, but they are constantly training, and doing OCONUS (Outside the Continental U.S.) training missions with other nations. So just because we haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. All I'm saying is- No matter what you heard. Ballistic Addons Studios, is NOT the definative source on the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. But once again, no one, except a member of that unit, can truely know just what happens in the 160th. Long story short. I still think that the Option to Fast Rope from LBs would kick ass, but if thats not included, No biggie. Sweet_pup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted September 6, 2003 hmmm i dont know if fast roping is the quickest way for specops to insert... especially from a LB: *you first got the get the bird to a hover *then wait until everyone has unboarded/ roped. while doing so you are a sitting duck. i made the experience, that flare landings are a saver and quicker way to insert your cargo -surely not in tight alleys, but for sure on buildings. fast roping in mp games: pilot approaches target at 80-120kmh and starts decending while constantly lowering speed as soon as the LB is < 30kmh and <10meters the cargo can "eject" from the LB btw: is the US ofp version metric too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet_pup 0 Posted September 6, 2003 Yeah, US is metric, and I don't know the system. It's a sumbitch.  Sure, fast roping does leave one vunerable, but so does sitting on a metal bench mounted to a helicopter  . As far as Fast Roping from little birds is concerned, as far as I know, they use it mainly to get troops into an area where they can't land. Such as the boat in the pic, or, as you said, a narrow ally. They are by no means the primary way to insert troops, because, once again, as you said, they leave your cargo vunerable. These are just some ideas for BAS. Whatever they do, it will kick ass  Sweet_pup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted September 6, 2003 The "rarely done" reason was only part of the argument. We also want to keep some differences between the helicopters, as otherwise many would often be left unused, or others would be over-used. Also, the littlebird is so small and nimble, we feel that it is better used for fast insertions, which not only looks cool (if done properly) but takes some skill to get right, and thats what playing the game is all about right? skill.

Sweet_pup 0 Posted September 6, 2003 Damn you Deadmeat...Using my previous mention of Skill against me Ah well, I just got done getting my ass toasted in a Little Bird. I agree, it does take more skill to put one of those little bastards down quick and safe, then to hit auto hover and do a fast rope. It just looks so damn cool. So, might we see some of the features from the Hawks on the new LBs. - More realistic fuel consumption - Quicker loss of fuel when damaged to a certain point - Audio warning of missile locks (That would be real nice  ) - More high tech "glass" Cockpits (Although I'm not sure about this one. I think that the LB's still have normal flight Consoles. But I do know that their NAV equipment isn't as complex as that of the MH-60s or MH-47s) - Wrecked/ Trainer versions. (I've been using the TOW wrecked MH-6, I like the smoke  . And I know that the 160th uses H-6s for training/assessing anyone that comes into the unit. Cheaper) Once again, not nagging, just ideas. If it's from BAS = I know it will fuckin rock! Sweet_pup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eviscerator 0 Posted September 6, 2003 Im not sure there is a need for a trainer in a combat simulation. It certainly doesnt warrant the extra mb to add it in. Theres no reason the normal MH-6 cant be used for 'training' missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoonieRat 0 Posted September 7, 2003 They are very easy to flare/land yourself. Just use the keypad button that makes them bank to left or right (not turn!), hold it down until you've done a 180deg turn and all your forward speed should of been bled off hit the auto hover (if you need to) and put her down .There is a technique but it's not too hard to master... Some helos stall/nose~dive like this if going to fast (Kiowa's are bitches for it!), try and keep the nose up just above 45Deg... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pang 0 Posted September 7, 2003 sweet_pup, you forgot the foxy shell casing effects for the miniguns, the smoke when firing rockets and the engine exhausts. in general, all the very nice h60s eye candy effects in a LB version ruff, you ever tried flying ofp helos with a joystick? it´s so much fun (and challenge) and you really get a different feel for the ofp aircraft. especially when using a joystick with throttle control and rudder axis: you can "easily" (after some practice) flare land them by yourself , beginning at a >80kmh speed and even fast- insert them at the rooftop of the petrovice towers. for the ai flare landings in your missions: use snypir´s fast landing script, found on OFPEC´s editors section. it´s a really powerfull script. hmmm... well how about adding an action to ai LBs like "quick insert" when you are cargo? it´d "simply" check for a LZ and activate a modified version of snypirs script.

pang 0 Posted September 7, 2003 hmm hard to tell, if flying with joysticks is easier. its different... just give it a try if you already have a joystick. if you get a feeling for the handling, you´ll see the difference in the result of flying a helo. here´s the script click Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Espen 0 Posted September 7, 2003 yeah i found the script and omg having to use speed as page up and down on joystick sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
