MEDICUS 0 Posted June 3, 2004 That are definitly nice choppers! Finaly some good choppers for east! (together with DKMM's Mi28 of course  ) Pictures and Info (found on Gamezone.cz): Quote[/b] ]These birds have been originally made by Eviscerator, and Hawk filled them with modern OFP scripts and features: retractable gears, suspension, etc. He had also tweaked the config to make the values more realistic - as an example, check the gun rotation :]Hawk's Ka-50 have been also enhanced with a brilliant and innovative Custom Armament Setup Script. This script gives player an ability to freely configure the weapon loadout selecting from a variety of weapons: - GSh-32-2 32mm gunpods - 80mm unguided missile pods - AS-16 8x pods - AA-11 Archer missiles Beta version of pack contains 3 camo variants of the helicopter (black, jungle and desert), each without arnament. Once you set the chopper near an ammo truck, a menu appears. That menu ables you to select the exact loadout. For the final release, Hawk informs he will include more arnament to choose (like freefall bombs), better script interface and predesigned loadouts for the editor.    Mfg MEDICUS  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FW200 0 Posted June 3, 2004 This is great! Â Try out the sample missions.. you can choose your own loadout! I'm loving this addon.. Â You can now go on a mission and if you have picked the wrong weapons.. return to your Ural Ammo truck and load up another loadout which you need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Malcolm 0 Posted June 3, 2004 Just shame, they didn't  changed original BIS V-80 model. Ka-50 don't have this round camera on nose. It was only on V-80 prototype This is how V-80 looked: And here is Ka-50: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acidcrash 0 Posted June 3, 2004 anyway to pre-define what weapons they have? so AI can use it.. also, the AA-11's are somwhat useless, a stationary target, 2 reloads (8 AA-11s overall) only 2 hit and then the target was still able to fly (all the other just flew right past the target) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 3, 2004 how come that choper is so hard to turn in air???I dont like that even Hind turns faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acidcrash 0 Posted June 3, 2004 rudder is alot more effective on this than the normal helos, but it does have a tendency to start flying backwards if you flick it round too quickly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobcatt666 0 Posted June 8, 2004 Well after a few dozen sorties in these birds think they are cool. Wish they start off with a default combat load out so your not caught on the ground while arming by AH64Ds and eat a hellfire while on the ground chasing the ammotruck. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
343rdBadger 0 Posted June 8, 2004 I believe if you start a mission with the truck next to your helo,you have the option to do your loadout while in the cockpit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobcatt666 0 Posted June 8, 2004 Yeah but you know AI drivers, they gun the engine and move as your doing it, usually start the mission off and with a ammo truck parked between choppers without fuel and order the drivers to get out before they can shoot off. Usually keep a tweaked Mi24N guarding us. Incase the Apachees cross the map faster then the loadouts can be added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mad rabbit 0 Posted June 9, 2004 This KA-50 version is great! I do agree with 'hide' though that this choper is really hard to turn but it makes sense if you think about what 'Acidcrash' said in terms of the rudder use. However a potential problem with this, that I am finding whilst trying to make my CAS script, is that the AI don't use the rudder. In other words, AI will normally engage from a chopper in strafing lines across the target. When the AI fly this KA-50 version, the circle around the target as if their trying to do strafing-lines but never quite achieve it. I think this can be fixed ex-addon by limiting the chopper speed but it would be nice to see this KA-50 AI friendly. Excellent work thoug Hawk this KA-50 is very nice. I especially like the range of weapons, compatibility with Ural Reammo and the fold-up gear. But please make this AI friendly (i.e. fix the turning circle problem) as I realy want to use the KA-50 version to it's full deadly agile capability.
