-HUNTER- 1 Posted April 19, 2005 when are the hangars being released... because I get a error when I want to use them in a map im making... Great work on the airfield btw, cannot wait for the new ground textures with the diagonal taxiways! Also Im planning to make 3 shelter areas arround the base, and also some platforms and such and I will be using all the different hangars and shelters in woodland colour... so I cannot wait till the pack is released... good work. Edit.. Ohh didnt see I was last post in this topic, sry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-HUNTER- 1 Posted May 4, 2005 ooh I just found this picture and it would kinda indicate that the OFP hangar you made is a tad too big! Since the tornado just fits in this one... I had the same thing because Ive been in such an actual shelter on a base visit to RAF bruggen... behold http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/hangar/2001/bruggen/ZG750.jpg shit the picture is just to big for the rules... it looked so good on the page! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RKSL-Rock Posted May 4, 2005 when are the hangars being released... because I get a error when I want to use them in a map im making... Â What is the error you are getting? Are you trying to place them inthe Editor or in WRPTool? There is no release date....its just "When they are done" i'm afraid. Great work on the airfield btw, cannot wait for the new ground textures with the diagonal taxiways! Also Im planning to make 3 shelter areas arround the base, and also some platforms and such and I will be using all the different hangars and shelters in woodland colour... so I cannot wait till the pack is released... The current base layout has about 8 shelters (3 different types) and hangers...a few new buildings including an airport terminal. The island is taking alot longer than planned due to other work with the FLK mod but its slowly coming along. Â I will probably release a part finished BETA without some of the custom buildings but that will be some time away. ooh I just found this picture and it would kinda indicate that the OFP hangar you made is a tad too big! Actually its not too big. Â The pic you've shown theri is a WS Atkins Single aircraft shelter built in the mid '80s. The one i created was based on the Hiddenmeyer/WS Atkins Hangers that are nearly twice the size. Â The other HAS pack will include the smaller '60s and 70's style structures and thethe later type you seem to want. good work. Thank you, always nice to get compliments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RKSL-Rock Posted May 4, 2005 The IL-76 was started over a year ago...but only recently has re-surfaced its now become my current stress relief project.  I've recently invested in a decent research book on the Il-76 so hopefully there shouldnt be too many techie nitpickers The model is about 75% complete.  I just have some external detail and the interiors to complete and texture. The intent is to have several versions including the A-50 "Mainstay" AWACS. Features planned include (scripts permitting): Paradrop --Infantry --Cargo --Pallets Cargo scripts Thrust reversers for short field landing. Chaff and Flares etc Please dont ask about release dates as it gets a bit irritating...This addons isnt even available to my BETA testers yet will go to a Public BETA just as soon as i can finish some FLK stuff. For those that are interested in the Rapier FSC ...no its not forgotten but i'm trying to integrate some of the MCAR scripts to make the units Towable/deployable. So please sit tight and i'll keep updating the thread as i update stuff. Cheers Rock PS the website is coming back i promise  Just snowed under with modelling stuff.

-HUNTER- 1 Posted May 5, 2005 thanks good reply man 8 types of shelters and hangars that would be really good man! I cannot wait for my airbases to become more realistic with the new buildings! excellent stuff! Like the other packs btw good addons everytime! I like the IL the reverse trust flaps are nice touch! You were also working on a Tornado fighter werent you? Will it also have this option? And the black marks on the tail from that? And I remember the nose cockpit section of the F-3 didnt look right, not to be a Bitch or anything I cannot wait for soo many of the addons in this thread! Ooh and about the shelters beta yes I was trying to place them in wrptool In the editor they work fine, but there are many other objects that are placed ingame! The vehicles, aircraft, personel and other objects.. Its been some time ago due to me moving over to another house but I think it was something with it couldnt find the .p3d!

Guest RKSL-Rock Posted May 5, 2005 I like the IL the reverse trust flaps are nice touch! You were also working on a Tornado fighter werent you? Will it also have this option? And the black marks on the tail from that?  Yup the Tornado will have thrust reversers...and yes the black marks were form that. And I remember the nose cockpit section of the F-3 didnt look right, not to be a Bitch or anything It is actually right, pictures not withstanding.  The model is scalled off the maintence manual and actual photos of F3's. Ooh and about the shelters beta yes I was trying to place them in wrptool  In the editor they work fine, but there are many other objects that are placed ingame! The vehicles, aircraft, personel and other objects.. Have you unpbo's them your buldozer directory before placing? If you still having problems try downloading the beta again from OFP.info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted May 5, 2005 I've always wondered - why do they have the glass nose on the IL-76? It's something you'd normally only see on old bombers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RKSL-Rock Posted May 5, 2005 I've always wondered - why do they have the glass nose on the IL-76? It's something you'd normally only see on old bombers. Â Its actually the Navigator's position ...and maybe the Bombardier's position... I never knew it until i got the book im using for research, but the IL-76 has 4 hard points on the wings intended for small bombs and "external stores"!! Â Apparently they were standard fit on all the military transports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted May 5, 2005 I saw an IL-76M maybe 10 years ago at an airshow in Illinois, with 2 MiG-29s. My dad pointed out the missile racks on the ends of the wings and the tail gunner position, even though the plane had "Aeroflot" markings. I remember reading later than the IL-76 would carry AA-2 or AA-8 missiles in combat zones for self defense. This is slightly off-topic, but maybe somebody would know - I've heard that the TU-22/26M Backfire can be configured to carry a huge air-to-air loadout. Something like 30-40 AA-10s or AA-11s. Is there any truth to this? I know they don't have fighter radars, but could they slave their missiles to escorting fighters, so the SU-27s designate and provide illumination to the missiles from the Backfires?

I remember reading later than the IL-76 would carry AA-2 or AA-8 missiles in combat zones for self defense. I recently saw an Indian Airforce IL-76MD in Goa carrying training missile proxies.  What they were I dont know but looked just like the proxies used on for training on Tornados From what I’ve been reading, its not only AA-8s but 250lbs bombs.  (Afghan era) The cold war scenario also had radar decoys mounted...considering the intended cargo role it seems like a pretty offensive load out This is slightly off-topic, but maybe somebody would know - I've heard that the TU-22/26M Backfire can be configured to carry a huge air-to-air lead-out. Something like 30-40 AA-10s or AA-11s. Is there any truth to this? I know they don't have fighter radars, but could they slave their missiles to escorting fighters, so the SU-27s designate and provide illumination to the missiles from the Backfires? I’ve read something like this, it was an experiment with a soviet version of JTIDS using the A-50 AEW&C version as the target designator.  Essentially the TU-22 would be used as a missile platform with the A-50 designating and guiding the missiles.  The theory was that the two aircraft would be able to provide a defensive screen against bomber or fighter incursion.  But I don’t think it was particularly flexible so it was scrapped as a tactic.

-HUNTER- 1 Posted May 5, 2005 still the idea of a larger aircraft that would be stealthy/fast  that could actually engage large amounts of enemy fighters by itself isnt such a bad idea. If you could like engage 50+ targets which a single plane bvr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RKSL-Rock Posted May 14, 2005 Some more WIP for the Rapier, Blindfire and Dagger... There is a UKF Land Rover in there somewhere for scale The Rapier itself in complete bar a few tweaks. The Blindfire Firecontrol radar is missing is textures and some scripts The Dagger is just missing scripts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cobra@pulse 0 Posted May 15, 2005 totally awsome man. Those look sooooo cool. Not for this release, but possibly if you ever go back and upgrade them, would it be good to make them towable by the UKF land rover or something like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not for this release, but possibly if you ever go back and upgrade them, would it be good to make them towable by the UKF land rover or something like that? Well part of the scripting issues are whether to make them towable. So far the plan is to release the statics as a sort of beta. Just to get feed back on the missile performance etc. Then to release a version with towing and hopefully uprated functionality and maybe MCAR scripting...
