Madus_Maximus 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Hi all, I know you've all been waiting for this for a long time, so here it is. Also the new site is up! Take a look. (took me a while, but meh) This pack is, as in the name a beta, so does not reflect the quality of the final version. Some bits will be reworked and improved upon. Now for the details. This pack contains four versions of the Choctaw, which are as follows:  - US Army CH-34 Choctaw  - USMC CH-34 Choctaw  - CH-34 Choctaw No Markings  - CH-34 Choctaw SOG No Markings Two-Tone camo  You'll find these choppers under: West > Tales of War - Air. We hope to include rocket pods and .30 cal machine guns on outer pylons, as-well as M60's mounted on the doors in a later version. This will bring the pack up to a grand total of 16 variants! If you find any bugs, have any ideas and suggestions or just want to chat about it then please visit the forums. Well that's it for now, here's some screenshots and the download links! (we've included a .zip and .rar versions) We cooked up these new screenshots for you. I've used the SEB NAM Pack 2 units as I thought they fitted better than modern stuff. ENJOY! Download RAR Download ZIP The Pics! Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4 Pic 5 Pic 6 Known Bugs: Small script error at start, numbers/letters look jaggy. Will be fixed up!

Madus_Maximus 0 Posted July 7, 2004 We'll be doing a rework of the config and so on for the next release, and will have custom cargo anims, opening door, door gunners, downwash and some other goodies.

Madus_Maximus 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Looks pretty damn nice, shame you didn't ever get to finish it. Really? lol didn't know that, you learn something every day! I never really looked at the choppers in great detail in that film. Well, not seen it for a year or so and my memory isnt the best hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lee_h._oswald 0 Posted July 7, 2004 All I can say: I love it! Doors, windows and markings disappear when looking trough the spinning rotorblades, but I am sure you know about that. Thx for that great chopper! MfG Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andersgrim 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Now all I need are Viet pilots Maybe we'll add some of those old classics... Like Cowboy and the rest of the Kingbees (for the SOG version)..

Anyways, yours looks indeed good! basicly yes ;) it has some minor differences but you won't notice if you don't know where to look at. One bigger difference is that the ch-34 were equippeded with stronger wheel suspensions as the old ones were often breaking when landing with heavy cargo. though the UH's kept the old suspension for quite some while. at the end of the war some uh-34 with the stronger suspesion appeared.

andersgrim 0 Posted July 7, 2004 So the difference is more technical than visual?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkins 8 Posted July 7, 2004 Mirror up at HawkNam. http://www.tuote.org/~black-....808.rar Great work guys! One of the things I've been waiting for so long. I got an error from it though. Once I placed it on the editor there was an error about: "}; invalid number in expression" or sth like that once I hit preview. The mission started normally though. Haven't tested it more yet, but I most certainly will. Again, thanks for this great bird. Waiting for the next release with great enthusiasm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donnervogel 0 Posted July 7, 2004 So the difference is more technical than visual?! well at first both were the same choppers with some different equipment based on different role (like ch's often didn't have gunners and uh's had often one doorgunner and one window gunner on the other side). with the time the ch developed into a slightly longer and stronger variant with a better cargo transporting abillity (for cargo slung under the chopper for instance) while the uh-34 remained basicly the same. during the war (there were some modification like armor plating for the cockpit). but it's really nit-picking to stress those details ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madus_Maximus 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Hehe, thanks for the details, they'll come in handy for the next release. Oh and we'll add mirrors to the main site soon when we get a nice list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted July 7, 2004 Very nice I feel it is time to give Nam mod a upgrade on weapons and sound effects (JAM of example). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
