I'll actually fly in cockpit-view because it's so beautifull.

And you MUST fly from the first view, because 3-rd view is closed-off by helicopter tail:)

You can adjust the external camera position with:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

extCameraPosition[]={0,2,-20};

in the class in CfgVehicles. It's x,z,y from the center of the

vehicle, IIRC.

Looking _very_ good, btw

Would you want to fastrope from a hovering warehouse with downwash several times that of a blackhawk or Puma?

Its purely a logistics bird anyway,

It will be cool to eject 70 ppl from that chopper  

Hella paratroopers lets make mission "Battlefield 2"

HAHAHAHA ROFL.

That chinook looks like a tiny insect compared to the HUGE (!!) Mi-26. This chopper is the largest one in the world and has set quite a number of records. It has a cargo-bay as large as in a C-130 hercules (cargo-plane)

This new version will indeed rock.

@Lee_H._Oswald

Please can you tell where can I get the old version?

thx

[lee_h._oswald 0]

You can find an old version @ofp.info

But that is "only" one version.

There is another pack, with a second MI-26 (with doorgunner), but I don't know where to find.

Those pics are amazing Lee...

I've just forgotten how LARGE that beast is!

Can't wait for the new version

[sanctuary 19]

The only other Mi 26 i found, is not the same one (it has brown camo), it is from Hawk, and the latest version can be found here (OFP info has an older version of Hawk Mi 26)

(I like the fact in Hawk Mi26 when you select Get out, you are not ejected from the chopper like from any other helicopter, but must move out the chopper yourself opening doors then walk out on foot)

Until now, i have not found the older version of DPS [CCCP]

EDIT : i found it finally, search for the Mi 26 Halo from DPS beta

in that page

It is the one with machinegunner

Just out of a hunch, please send a fastrope demo mission with the addon.

The pictures are so good. How come the trees look so real? Is it taken in VBS?

Because he edited them to death and used Kegetys' thingamajig.

By the way this is not (afaik) the largest helicopter in the world. It is held by another Mil helicopter though.

Edit: Yup - the Mi-12 is larger. But only three were built but they could fly. The Mi-26 is the largest fleet helicopter.

Exact. There is only 3 mi-13 were built in whole history. One of those (on picture that Blackdog posted) stays in Monino museum, second crashed, third i don't know where:)

Maybe that 3rd one is still stuck up there somewhere.

The video was great, this is turning out to be quite an amazing addon. Mi-26 vs. Chinook

Lol ... mate you dont fast rope from a helo of this size , you land and get out or jump out with a chute on .

Q: How does the "editing to DEATH thingy" work?

A: In photoshop "select -> colour range" and pick the background (fog) colour. Make a new layer, edit the colour to nearly white and use some blurr on it. That's it.

It's not that I worked more than ~1minute on a picture, OFP is beauty enough to look good.
