munger 25 Posted January 29, 2004 Was randomly looking on Hawk's site and discovered he's actually posted a new version of his nice C-130 with changed flight model (it's finally flyable!) and a few other improvements. Best of all though is the addition of a USAF grey version, which looks ace. The only bug I noticed was that the instrumentation in the cockpit seems to be missing textures, so it looks like the dials are invisible and you can see through them to the cockpit texture behind, which looks rather strange. But still, now that the handling has improved this is probably the best Herc around.

Heatseeker 0 Posted January 29, 2004 Is this the same one that ppl were mentioning slow fps and performance because of jpeg's being used . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topchris175 0 Posted January 29, 2004 If it is the same version, this plane had serious problems when slowing down and turning while taxiing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stag 0 Posted January 29, 2004 Hm. I missed this update. thanks for the heads up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted January 29, 2004 Well i havent noticed bad performance and i was running 3 of these magnificent looking planes at Tonal airfield, only lag i experienced wasnt related to this Herc. I liked the handling and i think it is a great pleasure to fly this plane, its a bit hard to turn but otherwise it is very stable and feels powerfull, landing was a bit dificult because it is hard to align it with the runway but it landed smooth without damage. Felt very realistic and thats what i like to have in OPF. Taking off was a whole diferent deal, it didnt! I tried it many times pressing E and Q at diferent speeds and the thing just wouldnt take off, i also tried with mouse to no efect. at 200 (kms?) it would just jump a bit and crash. Ahh... memory of plane fuel smell when we go up that ramp, amazing looking plane . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried it many times pressing E and Q at diferent speeds and the thing just wouldnt take off, i also tried with mouse to no efect. at 200 (kms?) it would just jump a bit and crash. Try putting flaps all the way down. I managed to take off from the main Nogova airstrip by doing that and then applying full acceleration. The plane lifted off without any upward movement of the mouse, although it was just before the end of the runway so shorter ones may not be so easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't the c-130 designend to take off from short runwways in real life? All i hope is that the parachute scripts that were in last version (or maybe version before) now work in MP.

Soo it looks fantastic, it sounds great, has good number of features, doesnt cause me bad fps and is a good compromise between realism and gameplay, perfect . I too noticed missing instruments on the green version and when i seated has co-pilot seating position is a bit wrong but theres no point in posting the obvious, the plane rox .

Landwarrior87 0 Posted January 30, 2004 yehs.. somebody please confirm if this is an updated version or not.. i got very unplayable performance from the bird in the first version.. the bird use to flicker its textures and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r1c0cH3T 0 Posted January 30, 2004 There is no "physical" changes that I have noticed actually. I haven't tested out any of the "cargo" stuff yet. I think that it's basically the leaked version being publically released. I'm not 100% sure. I only tested out the Gray version, but I doubt the woodland would be any different (could be a retexture or something, I haven't checked)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pong2cs 0 Posted January 30, 2004 This version flies a "little" better than the 1.15 did. It tilts faster, and not only that, but it's the first plane where Flaps really are useful. It has working flares, comes in 2 schemes... Not much different than the 1.15 one, but definitely worth it. Though I can't remember correctly, I seem to recall it being an older version...

Landwarrior87 0 Posted January 30, 2004 definetly cool built in scripts.. love the paradrop script. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pong2cs 0 Posted January 30, 2004 Great script in my opionion too, but is the vehicle supposed to appear 5 feet above the ground no matter how high in the air you are? I tried doing one of them low drops where the cargo gets pulled out the back of the C-130 by parachutes, ended up with me blowing up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted February 2, 2004 From what ive heard about the probs in other versions im sure this is a new updated version, flys like a charm, lands and take off very nicely, doesnt cause any lag and bots can fly and land it very well, they just cant take off cause they dont put the flaps down. The cargo scripts dont seem to work so well but i dont care about those anyway, very impressive to see green light for para jump. Amazing addon . This one would really deserve a decent amount of missions . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
