Yeah but unfortunately its not that 'limited', but as i said before im still experimenting.

Sounds good guys, going to make use of this when she's released.

Should inspire lots of missions, well, I know it has with me.

[Bobcatt666 0]

somehow I doubt it will inspire lots of missions, most of its use will be seen as a replacement for the older ones and clan useage, Very few bother with supporting new addons other than new toy to play with in the editor. Realisticly could see a few missions made excusively for the plane. Bets place it under 5 and how the old versions of this plane were used. Not to mention the complex work that will be needed to be added to it to satisfy folks on the plane over the eye candy. scripts for cargo loading and what not that was later added to Hawks C130 so it could air drop small vehicles and supplies.

Should think more of a focus on making the basic plane and take the footmunch way, make it rondel compatable. And leave the mods to make skins for their contrys only after obtaining written permission. Otherwise you'll be stuck making every veriation ever made from the Model A to the JATO test bed with artic kit.

You guys do not have to do everything for this addon, enough folks in the community that will step up and continue updating the bird to keep it to spec. Maybe should contact footmunch and HAWk for insite or assistance, both of them are pretty helpful. And experianced in adons with heavy scripts and multy nataional use.

Ok I’ll give up developing all my projects now then.

Have you even read this thread?  What do you think we’ve been doing for the last few months?

Scripts for cargo loading and what not that was later added to Hawks C130 so it could air drop small vehicles and supplies.  

What makes you think we haven’t looked at any of these and learnt from them?  Maybe even improved on them…possibly significantly??

Why the hell would we want to do that?  We are making something to our own requirements that we intend to share with the rest of the community (with a few exceptions).  We are developing what we want to fulfil most of the roles that we (and most of the community) would like to use.  We’ve already stated which variants we’re making.  That won’t grow.  As for Skins and roundels, if you actually read  the thread you’ll see that we’ve already promised to make it roundel compatible and provide basic ‘standardised’ skins.

I have to ask, considering that the community has already updated the countless variants of C130 up there to all these ‘wonderful’ functions why would we release a basic plane when we can adapt all the innovations from the old addons into a new and more realistic model?

As for experience, there are people supporting both Jag and I that also have the experience at developing “heavy†scripts and a whole lot more.  From my own experience of you and other 'forum experts' I suggest you do us all a favour and actually read the thread before you post your ‘opinions’ again.

that would be a way to effect the lighting i believe

We're not talking about "skin" lighting - we're talking about actual lights. Interior spot lights and the like.

could always play around with class reflectors and create much smaller lights inside (although i cant remember off hand if you can alter the size of the light)

I have been and had some limited success. But it still does illuminate the exterior of the airframe in some unusual ways...to the point it actually 'glows'.

And Swift, thinking about it, i was a bit quick to reply to your suggestion. Thinking about the way the skin reacts to light you may just be right. I apologise, i'll have a look into that. Thanks!

[Messiah 2]

perhaps making the skin non relfective to the point that the weird outer glow wouldnt happen?

but that would possibly ruin the shimmer where it would have to... *clutches at straws* - im sure you've got everything in hand.

Thanks for the encourgement Bobcat...

I will not be making just a basic C-130 for mods to change. The addon we're creating will be as well finished as possible.

It is unlikely we'll be doing every skin for every version a country uses. I don't like the idea of creating an addon just for people to modify and pull apart, that's not how I would like to make addons. If someone wants a specific version done then they can request it, but there's no guarantee it will be made.

Caught this before it went of the board.

How is everything going. Been a long time now since we heard anything through the board. Hope your still slogging away at it.

[hellfish6 7]

There's very little on the internet that irritates me like people who dig up old topics for no reason whatsoever. While you may have slipped in on a technicality, Cobra, do not do it again. When DKM has news they will post it.

[eestikas88 0]

lol i started reading the posts on this page until i reached the bottom.

what features will this plane have?

[tankieboy 0]

I will be able to take off, fly and land!!!

[-HUNTER- 1]

OMG Can it land, that would be really awesome!  

Seriously bumping threads isnt nice, but maybee Jaguar or RKSL have some news? I know you guys will post it when you have any, but this kinda shows there are allot of ppl waiting for this excellent addon to be released! Including myself!

The bumping has allready been done, so might aswell post some new WIP shots!        

and I kinda like the fact that Jaguar and RKSL are making these planes up to full spec for the mods. Its like ordering a brand new Hercules from the factory, with stuff modded to spec.

This is going to be a great addon!

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

what features will this plane have?

I swear if anymore questions like this come up i'll delete the model and go and play CS:S.

OK 2 questions are banned from now on:

1- When will it be finished?

2- What features will it have?

If you actually read the thread you'll get all the answers you ever wanted.  And in the event you actually have a new and valid question (not just a poxy rephrased one) we'll answer it as best we can.

As for updates... honestly not much has been done because both Jag and myself are trying very hard to finish our existing commitments to other Mod teams before coming back to this project full time.  As soon as we have some news we’ll post it.

Now go read the thread properly… or the Hercules gets it!

WTF is wrong with CS:S

[hellfish6 7]

This is why I hate people digging up threads - it reintroduces an entirely new level of stupidity to things that are otherwise easy to figure out.

Rock or Jaguar - feel free to PM me when you guys have some news and I'll reopen the thread. Until then i'm gonna put the lid on this stucker and try to contain the stupidity before it infects every other thread.
