That UN colour scheme will be particularly useful

@ June 06 2005,22:33)]And one thing that I would notice is excelent work of Laser on pilots, there were 4 different types of pilots.

Laser making hard work on them now, so I would thank them a lot:)

That is very good news looking forward to them

so how's it coming?

[Shadow NX 1]

The pilots looks great except for one small thing i also noticed on RHS units, the feet , the feet look strange to say the least, i like the boots on your previous pilots better. Is it not possible to use the BIS civilian boots? Theres some great looking boots there, anyway i hope their feet wont look like that in final version, other than that Laser is doing great work with all his units, maybe even too much .

Will be exchanged in next RHS release thx to aimpoint.

Probably Laser will also add the new boots to these pilots.

Looks amazing, hope it handles as nicely as your other choppers.

Quote[/b] ]We disable possibility to walk inside cargoroom, because this make the Geometry bad, that cause bad flight model. I hope that BIS fix physics in next OFP;)

It must be possible to get round this problem?

From my experience with Roadways and fixed wing aircraft, a roadway only effects the vehicle sections, it's directly under. Could you animate it out of the way when the heli's moving? Or even create a seperate roadway object when it's stationary, and delete that, when it starts moving again?

[DPS -CCCP- 0]

Road way is only a half of problem - bigger problem is wacky wrong geometry LOD, that cause bad fly model.

I look forward for some news, i hope everything is progressing nicely, got a bunch of spetznas comandos looking forward to ride in style .

its already October and still no release, even no news neither  

wut happen'd?

i think these machines r exactly wut the OFP need!!!!!!!!!!

and if i remember correctly, our weapons said they would release this pack in the summer.

to me, I dont need really fancy scripts for these planes. If there is so many scripts for the helicopters it will probally cause lag for people anyway. All i wanted was something that flys well and has some good missles/rockets on it.

[belgerot 33]

Yeah but such scripts only enchance the addon. Their Mi-26 was an amazing helicopter, from what I remember there was quite a gap of time from the beta being released until the final stages of it. I just hope everything is going well with this because they do look like the best Mi-8/17s in OFP.

OMG...how many people are gonna ask the same question everytime a freakin addon is announced....ITS DONE WHEN ITS DONE..QUIT ASKING FOR A RELEASE DATE

You'd probably like to know yourself, but you probably don't want to have your face clawed off either. So what, he asked when it might be released, don't take it personally. Just doing my bit for world peace.

Things happen, priorities change; and some people may be too busy to regularly post updates, which in my book is perfectly fine.

And if you want a chopper without plenty of scripts, there are plenty of others to choose from.

Look on the bright side; OW models are so good they'll fit into ArmA straight away - makes it worth all the while waiting. Cut them some slack...

yep... we need some news from DPS
