Ugh. What a terrible car, but a great Idea!

Not a bad idea, you typically see these sorts still running over there. I remember in Black Hawk Down the Somali 'informant' was in a Mercedes cab similar to that model. Would be nice to see some Ford-like pickups as well..

Well we will be making some nice civi cars for the Iraqis and im sure one of them will be a merc. Just we not working on them right now. got a few nicer vehicles being made atm.

You do see all sorts of cars in the middle east tho as there are many imports mainly from Germany and other big countries.

Try searching next time. (Specifically this).

Perhaps he meant a specific (or older) model. Try this; http://www.atwar.net/download.php?view.3831

You have to register, but it doesn't look like you can download it (most links are down, I had a tough time finding the G500 pack as it is)

BTW does anybody know what was the song in the informant's radio in BHD movie? It's not on soundtrack cd and its not even credited!! Really odd.

Abdi you need to turn off your radio

too bad there isnt anything like a Navigator truck, or something different like those black trucks the private security operators like blackwater use...

The very same. damn I cant find it for years

FireFly, I have a bunch of tracks that were in the movie, but not on the original soundtrack.  One of them is the one from Abdi's car, I'm pretty sure.  Not sure where the music came from, as a friend gave me the CD.  Let me know if you're interested, and I'll see if I can find the file.

You mentioned you were looking for the types of trucks contractors in Iraq use. Well, Mechanic made many trucks that would fit this description.

Here are some: http://ofp.gamezone.cz/?oblast=addons&search=mehanic

Most notably, he made a Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, Chevy Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade. These were all made in 2001 and 2002 so they show their age a bit, but they are still really nice add-ons.

[Commando84 0]

wow, many many replies here

i was looking for a more ancient version , like from the 80's maybe? i dunno really , yeah i knew about that one , but i think its not so good textured and i wanted some more varied colors

@Commando84

This was in the works years ago, it was made by "Ultra," don't know what happened to it. Think he's long gone, unless someone knows him. Anyway, you can see it here: http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=1491

[belgerot 33]

Take a look at ofp.info right now! Not a Mercedes but it does fit a good deal of theaters

[Tomislav 0]

a version with mg would be cool

but that truck is really great

[belgerot 33]

Maybe in the future someone else could add an MG if Sigma doesn't have the time to, would be nice to see a PKM mounted on the roof (looking as if the gunner is standing there holding it), or in the bed similar to the Toyota addon. Agree with you on that

Right now this is perfect for Middle East, maybe even the Balkans.

humm yeah I once put that black Mercedes 600 into a Middle East themed mission.

but as soon as its 50 m away from you the black curs turn grey. addon makers please help each other.

yes I mentioned a really proper vehicle like with small antenna for coms and black windows, and not the super nice sport look but just normal! Nothing fancy on the outside...

now where did I see such a vehicle.... *thinks... ohhjee

the military photos website had a few movies send in by some dude all about Blackwater security they are like promo movies.. Also about driving techniques and such...

i dunno if placebo would kick meh arse again if I posted the link!

[Speed123 0]

Those videos are on ATWAR as well. If you're really in fear of Placebo's mighty boot.

try this link Mercedes 200D

I don't know if the download works anymore, but the team at cars.flashpointzone made a 1980s Mercedes that seems to suit your needs.

[lukemax 0]

Doesnt work, i was a bit keen to get this

[belgerot 33]

Found the .pbo for the Mercedes 200D finally, not sure if I should put it up for that 'you-send-it' download or just email it (since it is just the pbo, not the packed file released by authors). Let me know if you want it (PM)
