ag_smith 0 Posted January 23, 2004 I've been just browsing Hawk's ftp folder and I've found beta version of USS Nimitz that he actually relased 2 weeks ago! Basicaly, model has been made by DaSquade and finished by Hawk. I think some credits go to makers of LSD48 Ashland (TOW) as Hawk used some of theirs textures. It still have some glitches but overall it's the most finished A/C ever seen in OFP. Here is download link: (copy the WHOLE line below & paste to browsers address line) <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> http://landhell.fpp.pl/of/index.php?PAGE=down&FILE=hwk_uss_nimitz-beta.zip&DIR=ADD%20PL/HAWK (2.7MB). EDIT: PLEASE DO NOT MIRROR THIS FILE! I don't know what's the status on this addon since the filename says "beta" and there's no readme coming with the addon itself. Moreover there has been no official anouncement from Hawk, so I decided not to post this in A&M: Complete (as it seems not to be finished). Edit: fixed download link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Gripe 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Its probably a private release for beta testing, but i'll still get my grubby little mitts on it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted January 23, 2004 It's pretty awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonko the sane 2 Posted January 23, 2004 this is by far the best carrier in OFP, it really works ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted January 23, 2004 It has a lot of awesome scripts. Unfortunately, the landing scripts require you to have a clear line of sight to the carrier and aren't much good from 5km out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted January 23, 2004 @Hellfish, could you explain how the landing scripts work because I see the options in action menu, and I don't know what to do after selecting them. Also, does anybody know if there's any catapult script included? Edit:typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironsight 1 Posted January 23, 2004 Is it a whole carrier or just some parts again (remember I downloaded a USS Nimitz a couple of months ago and it only contained a half carrier without control tower) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted January 23, 2004 It's the whole, complete carrier. Just go to Units->West->HWK Vehicles and place USS Nimitz, and that's all, it's ready and waiting for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ozanzac 0 Posted January 23, 2004 That looks brilliant. Cheers for the heads up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonko the sane 2 Posted January 23, 2004 to land: get in line with deck (not the take off deck) try going as slow as u can without stalling at 25-40 height ? with flaps full down and gear down...when u get near the carrier select option "land with line break" and touch down, it usualy works for me , the only bug i noticed is that most planes will retract their gear after landing and start jumping about which is quite anoying, ive been trying with all sorts of planes to do this and my favorite right now is the brilliant Skyrayder by Footmunch, Digital Centurion and DeadMeat...very nice indeed. Now...can anyone find out how to take off? Â EDIT: Never mind that!!!! the catapults are fully functional! with the full animations on the backblast protection on the deck...wow, im speechless.

da_ofp_man 0 Posted January 23, 2004 WOW really cool aircraftcarrier for ofp with lot of good scripts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted January 23, 2004 (...)EDIT: Never mind that!!!! the catapults are fully functional! with the full animations on the backblast protection on the deck...wow, im speechless. What do I have to do to get them working? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironsight 1 Posted January 23, 2004 The best addon of an aircraft carrier with a lot of nice scripts. Only one little detail, all modern US ships have the phalanx weapon system like the one on the picture instead of the Vulcan  . Maybe an improvement for the later versions. Still a nice addon  >porn picture removed. My excususes for the wrong picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonko the sane 2 Posted January 23, 2004 (...)EDIT: Never mind that!!!! the catapults are fully functional! with the full animations on the backblast protection on the deck...wow, im speechless. What do I have to do to get them working? Roll your plane to the catapult, action will appear, but u need to be perfectly aligned or else u get a message, then when u choose catapult a countdown starts with animation...take off with neutral flaps...and up up and away Edit: anyone solve the gear up on landing issue or got the defensive weapons in the carrier to engage enemy units?

havocsquad 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Hey, why wasn't I informed about this earlier eh? Â Â Talking about a fully functional Nimitz class Carrier for OFP that is available for download and not telling me, I swear I oughtta make you scum sandblast that entire deck and recoat it just for me when I go on final approach for a 3rd wire trap to try it out. Â Then the first thing I'd do out of my cockpit would be me reading a itemized list of flavorful insults and profanity at you all while you polish my F/A-18E Super Hornet. Â Next time, ya better PM me or something when something develops like this. Â One day old is just too late of a notice when it's a good Carrier addon...

ag_smith 0 Posted January 23, 2004 @ExtracTioN: I'm very glad to hear that. I'm looking forward to play with them. @havocsquad: Calm down nobody knew about it (except for Hawk, maybe ), until I found it by coincidence in his public ftp folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
