CSJ Pilatus Porter PC-6

[Capitaine Haddock 0]

Not sure if you guys have seen this one, but this Pilatus Porter is a must try.

Flies like a dream and comes in different verisons, including a rocket-armed one. The transport version is simply brilliant for paradrops (nice scripting). Highly recomended if you are into prop planes.

@ Pappy

Correct me if I am wrong - I am sure you will  

AA had two PP birds and a different model.

They look simular but I think the AA were earlier model.

So that's why I did not go with AA colours (colors).

Also I believe the Aussie PC-6s did some work for the AA.

*Will check

[Pappy Boyington 0]

actualy.. i dont know if i cant correct you. see being as it was a CIA op air transport service... finding data is rather difficult. hell it took me an hour just to come up with those 2 sites right there  

besides. as you said "they are simaler" so close enough  

edit: i lied i found it

It will mean a new p3d, lots and lots of hard work.

I may include it in update - may not definite

AA stuff is fairly easy to get re Nam era, its not all direct of a web site. Sometimes you just have to read between the lines.

[Pappy Boyington 0]

ok well if your gonna do an update...

one favor.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get rid of that damn auto-door script. the one that makes them open and close without warning. leave the opening and the closing to user actions

re: doors I thought most ppl liked auto doors ?

i like them, cause i hate it when such stuff spams up my action menu, but as you see there are also ppl that would like to do it manualy, maybe offer two downloads

[Fragster 0]

they should open when the engines off - and close when the engine is turned on... Not when the plane comes to a halt. Otherwise, great work CSJ!!!

[csj 0]

@Fragster

Since AI can not board a plane while the engine is running as they can with choppers I would say that is a fair comment.

[[aps]gnat 28]

Maybe just put a 1 to 3 second delay on both opening and closing, reduces the door banging while taxing ............. either way they are still bloody nice.

[miles teg 1]

The auto doors don't bother me at all. I'd rather just have that and not have the menu stuff on the action menu (as it does clutter up that menu). I think these planes will go great with Extraction's CIA dudes. I wonder if this plane is still used by the CIA? I know they use an armed version of the Turbo Thrush crop duster in Colombia and use Mi-8/17's in Afghanistan, but I have no idea what else they use. This plane would certainly seem like a very good plane to use in Iraq and Afghanistan to land in small dirt airstrips or to drop supplies for front line operations in a more cost effective manner then using a helicopter.

Oh...one bug on this plane. The rockets fire from the center of the plane instead of from the rocket pods.

But other then that I really like it.

I just have to add my praise.

This is a really nice addon, love to have theese older smaller planes that is able to land at small grass fields. They fit very well for small unit insertions both via landing and parachute. The civil ones fits nice in a drugrunner scenario or as a mercenary transport.

Are you going to make more Vietnam era aircrafts?

Maybe a C-119 or C-123?

A C-119G Shadow or C-119K Stinger would be really nice, the guns and such would have to be scripted but anyway...

Another nice one would be the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly.

Whatever you choose to do I am sure it will be good.

re: doors I thought most ppl liked auto doors ?

well i guess then ill just delete that script when i download it.

the biggest problem with that, really isnt as much that the doors randomly open and close and open and close...

its that they open. which means u put these on an airport parking pad as ambaince, or as a key role in the mission.. and the doors are all open.

heres how to avoid the "clutter"

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class UserActions

{

class  Openpilotdoor

{

displayName="Open pilot door";

position="pos driver";

radius=3;

condition="(abs(speed this)<2) && this animationPhase ""CSJpilotdoor"" < 0.5 and (getpos this select 2)<=3";

statement="this animate [""CSJpilotdoor"", 1];this say ""door""";

using that new condition line u will only be able to activate the door open/close when the plane is stoped

i know im not one to preach reaisum.. but in terms of planes i really hate auto doors script. hawks C130 too.. becuz it looks unrealisticly stupid when the plane stops and every single animated thing on it twist turns pops shoots flashs and opens. and its like "wtf". i like landing the plane and going "ok time to get out" and open the pilot door, get out, and either choose to leave it open if i plan on coming back real quick, or shuting it for the evening.  or better yet when i put an empty one in the editor and walk out to the runway and see all the doors closed. where as now u walk out to the runway and it looks like someone broke into the plane and ransacked it.

thats just a personal preferance, but like i said if im the only one that feels this way, then ill just delete the script. hell thats why i got into modding.. cuz of little things like this piss me off and i like being able to fix it  

edit: almost forgot if u see my orginal post with the air america pics.. you will see that was one of the 2 sites i was able to find via search engine.. after a few hours of searching. most of it was either movie related (which was fine) or some stupid radio show that up until i did that search.. didnt even know exsisted.

[miles teg 1]

Another oldie but goodie, the Vietnam era OV-1 Mohawk.

Heavily used over Vietnam as well as later during the Cold War.  Was also used by several countries.

Great info at this site:

http://www.vectorsite.net/avbtsv1.html

But anyways, back to this addon, I agree that some kind of US military/CIA version would be very nice.

this thing is really nice, it flies nice but maybee a little bit underpowered in real life they seem to have more power for climbing out of ravine's like they have in switserland...

But that doesnt matter it flies nice..

I saw that picture just now the C-123 would be really cool to have.. Wasnt this plane also fitted with mini jet engines?

[Pappy Boyington 0]

you mean JATO? Jet Assisted Take Off

yea the C130 and C123 were often fited with these for taking off shorter runways

I had a magazine that had an article all about Air America, featuring some nice pictures, it was when i first learned about the awesomeness of the Porter

Another beautiful addon Scud, thanks so much!
