What apache pack next?

[xnodunitx 0]

With the upcomming release of the texture fixed US Army AH-64's and the WAH-64D I cannot decide which one to go onto next so I set up a poll for it,please vote and as said,if you vote other please state your reason and idea,I know there are many more users of the AH-64's but currently I can't think of them all.

i gave a mark on Israeli, because IAF's AH-64s saw action more than any one else... and it would be great news for LOBO (Lost Brothers MOD)...

If their willin to accept the A version in black and D in the desert camo I'd give em to them. But those are whats planned,I honestly havent seen any black IAF D's,just A's. And thank you for posting (somethin people rarely do)

[xnodunitx 0]

Uh oh looks like its leanin more towards the black

edit: crap! thought I hit the edit button on the post above >.<

hmm...I bet I know somethin that might change the vote number for black

BLACK will be a Black US Army apache set.

I want a simple addon that just has an apache with normal colors and camo that holds 16 hellfires and no ffars. Just one helocopter.

Doesn't matter, as long as it hasen't been done before and it's nice

Have you two played with the one already released?

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....49;st=0

Pretty much both of what you asked is in there,a new apache model with all custom textures (believe it or not),it has the ability to load different weapons when near ammo trucks,you can load 76 rockets of MPSM,HE and flachete,each verying in strength and range,you also get to switch pylons so the rockts are inside and hellifires out,you can also load a fuel tank (will be actually useful in next release),16 hellfires as well as stingers,the pack also comes with 4 variants (2 for the most part) AH-64A early variant,A modern variant,D with radar and D without radar,please do not go bug hunting as we have already covered many graphical bugs and such,were also hoping to get a sound change but nothings garunteed in that.

If your used to all the other apache cockpits in the apache addons,you will no doubt feel different in this one.

[Guest The Cobra]

Uhmm... I don't think that comment can include me...

I was leaning to go outside the box and make an other chopper, not an AH-64...

Thats like making three Deagles for CS in different colours...

[xnodunitx 0]

Oookay...so you said you wanted somethin new in an apache thread yet you didnt mea AH-64......uh huh...

[Guest The Cobra]

Yahh... Did I ever mention anything here about making an AH-64?

Something new means something new. AH-64 or not, just that it's new.

See it like this, we are already drowning in M4's, so we don't need another (though wipman's are really great so we make an exception for them), and we also have many US units. Make something used by a foreign army. (Meaning another chopper, not an AH-64 from another country )

BTW; No need to be rude... Right?

[xnodunitx 0]

Oh trust me we got other helicopters but I'm trying to make everyone happy as pretty much ever apache released is only from the US Army.

A British WAH-64D would go down a treat with me.

[xnodunitx 0]

In next release which should be soon. (not the one being polled)

Get with the program trigger!

[xnodunitx 0]

Just doin a few things,mostly we need model changes now that I have updated the D to what I wanted (for the most part).

[tankieboy 0]

Its fantastic news on the WAH guys. I can just say that it is a long way down on P:UKF's list...

Looking forward to these supporting Warrior.

[xnodunitx 0]

I hope just hope its not the same old BIS apache for that mod,their welcome to use ours if they want,we could remove a few things and the dynamic arming to make it easier on em (that is if they use it,not gonna bother if their not going to)

[miles teg 1]

Oh...I just wanted to briefly mention not to waste time on an IDF Apache as our mod already has a bunch of them now in various configurations. But thanks for mentioning us. We appreciate it.

Mmk your loss but I'm doin one anyway.

Yeah, but we might as well go ahead and do one for our model. Doesn't hurt anything, does it?

[SPONGKLINGK 0]

can u syncronize the weapon optics to the movement of the chain gun

[xnodunitx 0]

The say huh? The optics in the dvo view (by pressing V) are already synchronized with it,if you mean the gun turning with the persons view thats a ofp normal thing,if you mean the TADS turning with the m230 then currently no thats not possible.

you guys did a great job on the ah-64 pack! those missions are hard as hell, though...

here're my thoughts:

-- do the black set (just curious: who uses black apaches?)

-- maybe update the textures for the green set? marfy's website has a tutorial showing how to add detail to a texture to make it look more realistic!

-- is it possible to disable the pilot/copilot's ability to eject?

-- use laser's AH64 pilots once they are released!

again, awesome work!!

[franze 196]

here're my thoughts:

-- do the black set (just curious: who uses black apaches?)

I can't say I'm a big fan of having a black set because at the very absolute most, it's a rare scheme to go on. However, since it's pretty much Nodunits job, it doesn't really concern me.

-- is it possible to disable the pilot/copilot's ability to eject?

At the cost of being able to rescue downed pilots, yes. I don't consider it a good price.

-- use laser's AH64 pilots once they are released!

As Nodunit has been upgrading our pilots, and Laser's pilots are for a different package entirely, we won't be using them. Of course if you want to use Laser's pilots in your missions, that's entirely up to you.

Black set was on my agenda alrady,-information deleted because mislead- (cept teh black apache's,those are in the go.)

I'll take a look at the marfy website and see what I can find,I'm not making any garuntee's though.

*gets on helmet and runs into bomb shelter before franze reads*

EDIT: ANOUNCEMENT VERY IMPORTANT,READ!!

Okay now that the caps are out of the way,textures on the apache may go back to their original which means the rivets will near be as blurred,most outside textures will be 1024x1024 instead of 512x512,this means the size WILL increase in space,HOWEVER the next pack will be binarized which should reduce the size,this is very important to know as I don't want to hear 15+ people bitchin that the size got larger even if its binarized,btw current binarized shows its around 40 megs and the pilots are in a seperate pbo so those textures will not effect the main apache pbo,this also gives me leeway to creat multiple pilots in the pbo.

three I'm not sure about,its not my field but I would guess that the whole eject option is OFP engine integrated.

Lasers pilots were made for Kyle Sarnik and Marco Polo's apache pack which has no place in our group,besides I'v been doing some texture work on the pilots and am starting to get the hang of clothing textures,I can't show you any official pics as the high definition pilot's are still....not really beta but more alpha,I can show you one small portion of it though http://img26.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vest6aw.jpg please NO bitching about the armored vest behind the...first vest as it is stil beta and probably not what you will see when its released.
