Combat Chaplain 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Wow. Remember that old sim 'Hind'? I could never get to excited about reinstalling it since I figured OFP could do everything better. THIS will rock! A campaign like 'Hind' with OFP and this Hind would be awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soul_assassin 1745 Posted February 15, 2005 actually its at a very early stage and has many things that need fixin. The work and the attention to detail on the outside and the inside is totally amaizin I agree with everythin said here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinRaiden 0 Posted February 15, 2005 If I understood SCARS correctly, he was procrastinating dealing with configs and scripting until the modeling was done. It appears that he's done some significant remodeling since mid-January, and has had to revist some of the textures as a result. Secondly, a lot of the effects may involve some model tweaks like model components and memory points et al, so that could add some complications as well. SCARS made a request some time ago for scripting support advisors for effects systems. I don't know what's actually going on with the development, I just translate and post the blog entries here as I see them come up on my semi-infrequent checkup.

shinRaiden 0 Posted February 16, 2005 2005-02-15 Dustcover: Anyway stuck temporary textures on and will will make (final ones) as (I) have time. Side pic, very nice rocket pods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted February 16, 2005 For those who asked, yes the Hinds open their cargo doors, also the pilot and gunner doors open when you get out/in Also it has the usual things like gear that can be pulled inside and off course changeable loadout. With a bit luck also new pilots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Side pic, very nice rocket pods I assume the 'dustcovers' are the panels over the engine-exhaust?? These aren't just dustcovers. They are also meant to reduce the infra-red signature of the extremely large exhausts. These large exhausts is why the Hind is 'vulnerable' for heatseeking missiles like the stinger. This has been a problem since the hind was used in afghanistan. The choppers looks awesome , but we already knew that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinRaiden 0 Posted February 16, 2005 That's my assumption as well, as we haven't seen a side shot in quite some time. I just translate what's posted there with a minimal amount of commentary to make it readable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Doesn't matter. You're doing a great job in translating it all for us. It's indeed better to just translate it literaly. My comment was just meant as extra info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shinRaiden 0 Posted March 5, 2005 2005-02-27 Quote[/b] ]Backfire Tried making some smoke and stuff for when the rockets fire. But the black textures drop'd look unnatural. Not sure if I can make it more (colloquial accent ) realistic. Feedback comments from SCARS on the 2005-02-15 posting: Quote[/b] ]Am making models with and without the engine covers. Sorry about how much longer and longer this has taken. Should soon be going out, been about half a year. ... Sorry about being late with answer. Considering possibility of creating a map panel. However, don't think anything outside a MI-35 has one. (please excuse me if I am mistaken.) Making suspension is simple, but combining with (retractable, multi-direction animations -ed.) seems to be impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinRaiden 0 Posted March 6, 2005 (finished translating the comments updates) When viewing CJK encoded pages for translation, it often helps to enlarge the character size (ctrl + in Firefox, manual? in IE). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinRaiden 0 Posted March 8, 2005 Comments on 2005-02-27 posting: (note, only SCARS' comments in Japanese are translated.) Quote[/b] ]Thank you very much, Hind is full of accomplished animations. Still working on how to make black smoke out of rockets. Must rather reduce weight of backfire smoke. They fall off after exit. (bad wieght, velocity in drop command. -ed.) ... Thank you very much. Loading Chaff and Flares would be good (note: vague colloquial, could be "I know about..." or "It would be nice if..." -ed.). But don't know from where they eject... will have to study and see. ... Thank you very much (respectfully gracious - ed.) Rezin. Had thought about refueling port (probe? -ed.) up to that point. Flares are kinda light like a feather. Also blog link is OK. (Note, both SCARS and Rezin's sites are in Japanese, your milage may vary if you link a non-japanese site. -ed.) The AH-1 backblast and rockets are incredible like that. Am going to try and make the Hind rocket smoke bigger. 2005-03-07 http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/scars/imgs/6/1/61f7be1a.jpg Quote[/b] ]Flare Tried making them, but doesn't feel like a lot of added functionality... Was shot down after this (picture). The white is a test version, packing all the textures etc into a PBO takes quite a bit of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shinRaiden 0 Posted March 17, 2005 I would post the comments I made on another board relating to the quality and capability of online translators, but that would be violating all sorts of content rules of these boards. You're not helping yourself or anyone else running it through Babelfish, you have to pretty much already be operational in the language in order to properly preprocess data for the online translators. They can't do anything about colloquial euphimisms or misspellings, of which there is precedent in SCARS postings. I'll post a logical and accurate translation as soon as I get a chance to work it over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
