Messiah 2 Posted June 6, 2005 they look a little small to be much use, but i guess thats just because the C130 is so large... would be easy to implement... similiar to STOL on other aircraft - just clever use of setvelocity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hehe put a few on your car and you'll be doing 200 mph in 4 secs! No I think its still in use with squadrons who operate in enviroments or situations where they need to take off on short runway... It would be really cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Funny you should say that, there was a guy that strapped one of those to his pickup and set it off. They found him half way through a cliff quite a few miles down the road. Turns out you kind turn the car at jet assisted speeds  Anyway, dunno what he thought was gonna happen. Oh well.  * * * I've heard of C130s using JATO on short runways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-HUNTER- 1 Posted June 6, 2005 bahaahahahahaahahahahahah to think somebody actually that stupid! edit Couldnt this be made like the Jetfighters have afterburner... Only JATO rockets fire 1 time only I believe? Also put 4 on both sides of fuselage and make nice smoke behind and fire offcourse! Also I was just thinking about units which use this thing, and then I remember seeing a picture of a artic unit using JATO and also SKI's under the C-130!

Daniel 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Yep, I think they're just one burst and then they're through. I'll do a bit of reading on it maybe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pong2cs 0 Posted June 6, 2005 JATO isn't a one-time use only, RATO (Rocket), on the other hand, is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted June 6, 2005 You're the expert  RATO in action  Apparently it was used for especially heavily laden planes on very short strips like in Vietnam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NL_Nemesis 0 Posted June 9, 2005 actually i saw it on mythbusters some time ago...(about the dude with the jato car) they make a show about myths and recreate them to see if they are true or not...they actually tried to get jato's from the us airforce but they didn't supply them so they took a 60 sumthing chevy with hydraulic suspension and lowered the front..built in a radio controlled steering mechanism...then they strapped 3 of the most powerfull hobby rocket engines on top of the car...you should have seen that car blast away i think it did something like 400 km an hour or so...the chopper they where in couldn't keep up!don't know if the myth was confirmed or busted though... it is on discoverychannel here in the netherlands ps nice planes!!!

@cero 0 Posted June 9, 2005 I supose this feature in the Hercules would be handy. If we could clear areas of BIS woods it would be very nice to get one of this taking off a improvised air strip. "Mith busters", in "Discovery channel", I was pissing my self watching them shooting a chicken against a plane windscreen. they also proved that ice bulets are impossible. Very interesting, but they get in my nerves. Regards. @CERO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-HUNTER- 1 Posted June 13, 2005 on a different note, I just found some pictures of the Dutch AF C-130H30 on a army show two weeks ago... http://img248.echo.cx/img248/3737/img06683wz.jpg http://img248.echo.cx/img248/3269/img06697pp.jpg http://img248.echo.cx/img248/9057/img06705xb.jpg I thought they also may come in handy!

Lt_Phoenix 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Grey Norwegian Air Force C-130 with JATO BTW. will a RNoAF C-130 be making an appearance in this pack? Here are a couple more: Grey/green camo RNoAF C-130 Grey/green camo RNoAF C-130 - different angle Another RNoAF C-130 with UN markings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havocsquad 0 Posted June 13, 2005 It's great to see a good focus on the C-130's here in OFP, the backbone behind the main NATO airlift squadrons. BTW, you guys at DKM should back your MLOD's and texture work up 5 times so it will be available for using in OFP 2. That's just too good of a potential addon to let something hit the fan.

DKM Jaguar 0 Posted June 14, 2005 Just to reiterate, JATO is not on my current list of to-do's. It may follow, if anyone who's suggesting it here thinks they could do it, then contact me and we'll see. I personally don't have the scripting knowledge to complete that effectively.
