Im using PaNTool by Dschulle. Which is the one by Feer?

try this thread

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

Thx - i've already got it but the quality is just the same

Rock -

The other thing to try is make the texture bigger to

start with. The PAA/PAC is a 'compressed' file format, so it

can smudge some details. Just make the texture twice as

big (using resize in PSP/PS), and then make the mapping

twice as small, and you should get more detail.

I'm looking into an optics view for the U2 - the Global Hawk is a bit harder - i'd like to do something like the FDF UAV but not sure exactly how to do it...answers/suggestions on a postcard please  

[panzergrenadier3 39]

Will there be a destroyed/crashed version of the U2? Would be great for rescue missions...

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

this is something i had thought of but haven actually done anythign about yet....possibly...maybe...:)

[FerretFangs 0]

Indeed, it would. Even crashed UAV's would be great for TRAP missions.

cant wight how will the u2 fly i mean will it fly like it post 2 fly ,i mean will it kind of fly like c130 in-game? or something like that?

[djbluestar 0]

Is it me, or I heard of an A-340 addon? Would be cool to have more airliners in Ofp. By the way when is the hangar pack going to be released??

Well, from what I've read it's more like a C-130 with solid rocket boosters. It's got quite a heafty engine, which provides a lot of acceleration, straight up, at take off. You do realize the design is based loosely on the F-104 Starfighter? Apparently, the U-2 believes it's still a fighter plane.

Teh A340 is in progress.He's working on an ATR

and uh.......................

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

OK to answer a few questions...

Flight Model - It flies quite well, but the ofp engine makes it hard to incorporate everything that the U2 does in real life. High rate of climb and acceleration etc. I've capped the speed at 450 for the moment just for the sake of gameplay. Any faster and it'd cover most of the ingame islands in seconds.

It pitches up just like a heavier aircraft would, roll rate is also slightly slower than other aircraft due to the wing span. I can tell you it doesn't handle like any C-130 in OFP and the AI can fly and land it easily.

A340 Model - Its in the loop, also due to the similarity of scale and design i'll release an A330 at the same time. But please dont ask for release dates.

Hanger Pack - BETA release isnt too far away...i'm trying to sort out a texture lighting problem first.

Anyway I'm off to the pub with the lads

[Fart-Nark 0]

this is going to be brill, plane bit early for the pub lol      

(bit of topic but you no how you said its easy for ai to land the plane but i have never been able to get ai to land planes,how do you get the ai to land planes ? ),

[orson 0]

Give the pilot a "get out" order , either in the editor or in game .

If the AI flight path is mapped correctly they will land and get out.

*edit* p.s Avons FAQ or the search would probly have worked.

[somebloke 0]

Alternatively, if you place an AI plane over Everon airport, they will fly around then land without doing anything to them. Spooky.

an A340?, so thats what u wanted the sound for..

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

What Orson said...

Yup...did i ask for an ATR as well?  Dont remember...?

[somebloke 0]

no just a B2 and an A340 i think, hang on i'll go and check the thread.

edit: and a 707

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

Ok just a bit of an update...

If anyone has been to my site today you will have noticed its been down this is because someone tried to hack it. The nature of the attack was very crude and they seem to have been unable to do anything other than corrupt the site config by attacking a little know SQL exploit. They did however leave me a little note:

Quote[/b] ]You are site is shit you are shit you cant make addons and the rest of the community dont want you.

Obviously its someone in the community and i have a good suspicion as to who it is. My ISP has been very helpful in back tracking the culprit so i have a host name and Location. We've reported it to the scumbag's ISP so now we're just waiting to hear...not that i'm holding my breath.

Anyway a warning to anyone running a PHPNuke based site...you may want to upgrade and patch you sites. Nuke Resources are currently hosting fully patch versions of the Nuke code. Its worth a look.

Good Luck

[somebloke 0]

pfft, what an idiot that hacker was. Anyway, i'm sure the community would like you to stay.

[Placebo 29]

RockofSL glad to hear no harm was done

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

RockofSL glad to hear no harm was done

Well i wouldnt say "no harm" but there is no permanent dammage. Its taken about 6 hours to get the site back to something near its previous state. I had to completely reconstruct the site just to make sure there were no surprises.

I'm still rather p'd off but its been an excuse to do a revamp anyway

The majority of the content is back - forums will follow once i lock them down. if you guys spot anything wayward i'd appreciate someone letting me know.

Thanks for the words of support guys.

Rock

Sorry to hear about the hacking of your site.

Hope you will be able to get it secure and working.

I am really looking forward to flying your superb looking U2.

The OFP community really need all its addonmakers, especially such a talented one as yourself.

[adrenaline red 0]

That sucks, I hate these assholes who pull crap like that. We loose allot of good or potentially good addon makers that way.
