thank you Mr.Yoda, these are excellent helicopters.

on a side note, you may want to know that (at least pack1) gives missing addon message in MP games, maybe you could check the config?

edit: the demo missions are excellent, all addons should come in such a nice package

real nice pack this. Great job. I'm just wondering if there is a little problem with targeting as it appears to fire a little high . might just be me. Any how nice addon and good work

These Hinds are EXCELLENT! I love the way the doors automatically open and close when you get in and out. Very nice. Also I'm glad you updated the pack with the fixed cannon variants. The anti-missile and IR suppressors on the engine are also interesting however I didn't see any flares shoot out of the Hind.

Also on the KA-50 I hope in future updates you make the gear go up in a auto-animation like you have in the Hind.

However aside from those minor gripes, the biggest thing that I don't like is that you put the update as a seperate pack that requires the first pack. That's a bad idea as it just causes confusion for newbies who have to download the packs to play missions made with them.

If you update this pack again, I highly recommend that you release the update as one FULL pack that does not require the player to download any previous pack.

Trust me, this will save alot of headaches from people complaining that your helicopters don't work because they didn't install the packs in order or didn't realize they needed the first pack. It just makes things simpler and since the packs are relatively small, this shouldn't be a big deal keeping them as one pack.

Anyhoo... again these helicopters are fabulous! I hope you will continue to update this pack with perhaps one of the latest Mi-25 export variants with the ball mounted FLIR pods on the front.

Also new sounds on the 12.7mm gattling would be good also. The engine sound is fine however. BIS actually did a good job giving the Hind a realistic engine/rotor sound. A flare system with visible flares would also be good along with updating the Ka-50 landing gear that I mentioned earlier.

Some updated Mi-8/17's would be very cool as well.

Keep up the outstanding work! My Spetsnaz are happy deploying from these monsters!

Excellent work! Any chance for an Mi-24A?

When I was starting this pack I thought of releasing everything at once, but when I finished Mi-24D/V model I have released just the first part. It seemed like a waste to let it wait till Mi-24P is finished.

I know it would be better to place everything in one pack, but I thought this wouldn’t be a problem since link for pack one is in readme file.

Any future updates will come as a single pack.

I intentionally didn’t bond flare launching scripts with config.cpp file since other original planes and choppers don’t have it, although my Mi-24 versions with ir suppressors alone have similar script and incoming missile CAN (much smaller chance) lost its lock – but flares are not launched.

If you want to activate flare launching deflecting script place - this exec "\hrvmi24cpp\scripts\mi24_flare.sqs" into chopper’s INIT field.

You can notice that in all my demo missions this script is used – and is working properly.

All is in the readme file.

I didn’t do anything to Ka-50 model. I have made 80mm rocket launchers for Mi-24, and since Ka-50 actually has that type of launchers (not 57mm) I added that weapon to it.

Also, some people mentioned that they would like to have laser guided missiles used on Russian choppers– so I added AT-16 missiles to Ka-50.

While I was making those changes I added dust and smoke effects, and replaced ingame picture (replaced mi-24 picture for ka-50).

Regarding aim

It is offset intentionally. AI most of its ammo spends shooting few meters in front of its target, and 30mm cannon has only 750 rounds.

I believe human player can adjust easily – cannon fires just a little higher.

I don’t know about new types… I think of using newer model for this pack. It all takes a lot of time.

I’m glad all you like my addon, and hope you will make some missions using it!

Great Work Mr.Yoda, I agree with everything that Miles Teg said, the only thing i dislike is the Sound Of the original BIS Mi24, if you update to the CSLA Mi24 sound, id think it would be cooler......but thats my opinion, GJ!!!!
