r1c0cH3T 0 Posted February 18, 2004 I dunno why no one posts stuff by VIT here. Well, heres some stuff that everyone said they wanted, but is right here in your face (that is if anyone cares enough to visit his page ). VISIT HIS PAGE AT http://www.ofp.info/vit Here are some BETAs that he released some time ago. ISRAELI MIRAGE III KFIR DOWNLOAD Israeli F-16 DOWNLOAD The F-16 might not be anything special, but all news is worth posting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted February 18, 2004 Don't forget his IAF C130 which I believe is based on Hawk's C130. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hjaldar 0 Posted February 18, 2004 Nice. His planes usually just need some polish, but I like them anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianTerror 0 Posted February 18, 2004 I'd be more interested if he polished up/made new versions of all those ground addons he made way back. I'm sorry but jet after jet after jet being released maybe interesting to a point but they arent all that fun to use IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevevcb 3 Posted February 18, 2004 No jets have really interested me since I got Hudson & Pennywise's F/A-18C's. I don't actually like the Hornet, but the amount of cool features (gear getting damaged beyond operation when you take hits, a realistic ejector seat, the ability to set detonation altitude and therefore spread of cluster bombs, proximity-fused AA missiles) and the overall polish of the pack has kind of killed my interest in other jets. It's a bit depressing when someone pushes the bar up so high and very few people pay attention, let alone attempt to reach that level of quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BraTTy 0 Posted February 18, 2004 I was going to fix up some of his stuff when I first got into addonmaking.But it got to who's is what and apparantly it wasn't even his Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted February 19, 2004 Just give me a no frills plane that flies nicely with a mouse and keyboard and that the Ai can land and take off in and that the AI attacks well with and I'm a happy camper. That's why sometimes I prefer Footmunch's no-frills planes like his old Bucaneer fighter bomber which flys like a dream. Anyhoo... Vit's F-16 I think actually flys better then Footmunch's F16 although Footmunch has the better model and has a more realistic layout. Anyhoo...I'm gonna download them and test 'em out right now.

Acro 0 Posted February 19, 2004 I think that the models are decent but Vit should get good texture artist to help him. The textures aren't so beautiful now IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted February 19, 2004 I just tested out his Israeli Kfir, and actually it doesn't look terrible, but it's either an early model or it's incorrectly modeled because the Kfir has a different shaped nose and has some kind of air inlet in front of the vertical stabilizer that isn't there on Vit's model. Since he doesn't read the forums much I'll probably need to email him. Also the bombs are invisible cuz of a incorrect .cpp path that cause an error when you first try to use the Kfir. The good news though is that from the .cpp info it looks like he plans on making many different Kfirs with different weapons configurations. Also fixing the .cpp is easy. It's just a matter of changing it to the proper file path... at least I think it is...I'm going to try it later today or tomorrow to see if I can fix that stuff. The other problem is that it's very wobbly. It just is extremely hard to control and even with the AI pilots it wobbles all over the place which looks wierd when you see them flying over you wobbling. One thing that Vit did VERY well however is incorporating some of the best sounds that I've ever heard. His Mig-21 for example has a hellaciously loud and ferocious sounding jet engine sound that kicks total ass and scares the crap out of you when you hear them screaming overhead. On his IAF F-16 and Kfir, they have the same engine sound and what's cool is that the AI often use the afterburner during normal flight so it's cool hearing the huge roar of their afterburner right over you head. Anyone who's ever been to an airshow (featuring military jet fighters) knows what that sounds like. His C130 based on Hawks C130 is cool, but it doesn't turn real well (not as well as Adammo's who I think nailed it). It also has some error that pops up on the engine sound and the flares are big blocks that look funny. Aside from that it works fairly well although I haven't seen if he kept Hawk's parachute script or not. Anyhoo... overall Vit's work isn't too bad. But he tries his best. I just wish he accepted more help. If him and some of the other OFP airplane addon makers got together to help each other out, they could make some amazing aircraft. For example, if Vit made the basic model and .ccp file, someone else could fine tune the model and weapon layout to make it more realistic, while another person made some good textures.

r1c0cH3T 0 Posted February 19, 2004 Try posting in VIT's Forum. If I remembered correctly, he was looking for help. Maybe you can post something about the model, since this is still a beta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted February 20, 2004 Oh cool, I didn't notice that he had a forum on his website. Yeah I'll do that tomorrow or when I have time. Thanks for the tip! Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
