franze 196 Posted July 31, 2005 UPDATE 02/22: Links updated to 1.33 Franze & NodUnit present AH-64A/D Apache Longbow PR 1.3 This represents a completely new and redefined AH-64 package in almost 6 months. With the help of NodUnit, tons of research and constant trial and error, we've finally decided it's time to announce this release and give it to the community. It includes the following: - AH-64D Apache Longbow - AH-64D Apache DWO/NR (AH-64D WithOut radar/No Radar) - AH-64A, 1985 (Early production representation for Cold War Crisis scenarios) - AH-64A, Modern (Present production representation for modern scenarios) So, without further delay, the download! UPDATE! See 1.33 download links below! (Please note, you need JAM2 to use this addon.) In making this addon, we've used a lot of resources, and admittedly a lot of scripts were based off of other scripts from these sources - we credit them for their effort: BAS DKMM Vektorboson Col. Klink The fine guys and contributors at OFPEC BIS Forum Search ORCS (for the pilot hand models) Testers Hellfire (also contributed a number of testers and a lot of input) King Homer (many thanks to him as he seemed to be the only one interested ) For all of you who want to see more, there is a online manual availible for your pleasure here.

xnodunitx 0 Posted July 31, 2005 I would like to make it clear to everyone that this is not the final final,I am currently doing more work on the pilots to bring them more up to date so those of you who are dissapointed with them don't be,they should be done soon as I am working around the clock to upgrade them,however due to size of the textures and amount as the apache already has enough space taken up,the high definition pilots will be released as a seperate pack. I would also like to point out for those that may be angry that the US Army apache is the only released that this is how it is for now,currently I am grabbing some pics online as I lost many good pictures due to the hard drive crash. Apache's will be released for different countries in the future with new textures that will NOT I repeat NOT taken from anyone else as well as have model chages,this means the WAH-64 will have the modified rocket pods and nose sensors and Israel will have the nose "boxes" and spheres,they will be all custom made,even though this pack is released we are still working on it I am far from done as many textures I wanted to make and finish were not due to the crash. So currently a few textures such as the A efabs and bottom of the A efabs are being reworked to be more correct,the D left side will also be textured as well,I apologize for this but I will correct it in the near future. And if anyone has any suggestions or questions please feel free to ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Cobra Posted July 31, 2005 Nice work... Maybe a little lighter textures? Or maybe not... Anyways, great looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honchoblack 2 Posted July 31, 2005 thanks alot for your work on the addon, will download and test it today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xnodunitx 0 Posted July 31, 2005 I'll wait for the WAH-64. Currently I am searching for as many differences between the WAH-64 that I can find,doesnt appear to be much besides nose sensors and the rocket pods and of course different engine variants,unfortunatly we can't find out if they sound the same or different,I'm also still trying to pin the exact color on it,many things are still in the works and we hope you all enjoy them as much as we do. Mmm lighter textures....hmm...I suppose the battle worn versions such as the sandy types in Afghanistan and Iraq will have lighter textures of course worn from the sand. And thank you for the mirror Raptor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr reality 0 Posted July 31, 2005 High quality addon with some excellent features. I found that as the Co pilot/gunner it was a bit of a bumpy flight and hard to track the enemy targets but i know thats an OFP limitation. The only thing i hate about OFP helos is that as a gunner you have to hope the pilot swings around for you to get on target as he does'nt automatically adjust to your aquired target. It's even better news knowing your still improving this addon which tells me you are a perfectionist. Two thumbs up from me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two thumbs up from me  Much as we'd like to really help the AI out with their flying skills, I don't think much is possible to save them. A human pilot at the controls usually helps out a lot more than a AI pilot. Quote[/b] ]tankieboyI'll wait for the WAH-64. Looking forward to Starstreaks, eh?

olemissrebel 0 Posted August 1, 2005 it's like 87 MB, just for a few variants of a chopper. they are indeed nice, however, the sound of the new stinger missile is awful, if you ask me. i'm sure it will be improved upon. overall GREAT addon, it's just almost 90 MB unzipped?

franze 196 Posted August 1, 2005 The huge size is because it's uncompressed. The few variants are a lot easier to go through than having each and every armament pre-made in the editor. In case you missed the online manual or the readme, you can change loadouts at a BIS ammo truck, or M925 5t Ammo Trucks by MP. So there's no real need for more than 4 variants (at the moment anyways ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xnodunitx 0 Posted August 1, 2005 The large size is mostly due to my fault,because of the textures,I am going back and resizing a few more that I couldnt because I didnt have the psd formats of them,also I wasn't going to settle for 3 parts per 1 texture with lower quality its just not happening,I believe it was time for a higher quality apache to be made in terms of well......everything. Ya griping about size yet your plannin on gettin AA Yes I admit its rather large and as I said I am working on fixing some things on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olemissrebel 0 Posted August 1, 2005 i'm sorry about griping, it just seemed a bit large, my apologies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xnodunitx 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Oh no need for apologies,I agree its large,I too am worried but as I stated it is mostly my fault because my texture folder is so large,some thingssuch as buttons can definatly be resized without loosing much to little quality. Also I would like if anyone is going to edit the textures to email me at dreed4@msn.com I am curious what artisticness you guys can put on it and if anyone has some high quality pics of Apache's from other countries or knows of a website they would be helpful,as I am trying to find texture differences aside from symbols as well. Oh yes and before I forget,I will in the future be making a "unrealistic" pack as well,this is for those that want something different,I for one want an apache with woodland as well as urban camo,so those will be included with the pack,if you people have anything you would like to see in that pack in the future just email me your suggestions and idea's.

MeltedAd 0 Posted August 1, 2005 A very nice addon. Â I was shot down by AA fire and crashed after the smoke cleared and to my surpise, I was still alive sitting in my expensive wreck. First-class addon mates. I look forward to your future releases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
