RKSL OFP to ArmA

[raedor 8]

What ever happened to hardrocks typhoon? that was looking sweet (so does yours) also what happened to ACES?

I think he cancelled it, or it is on hold at least. But I better let him speak here, before some rumours arise.

Not being funny but please answer that question in another thread.

Thanks.

Reason i was asking is because ACES would have been awesome for this as it included UK weapons IIRC.

I understand that and I wasnt trying to be rude but i dont want this thread turning into "Why Hardrock hasnt released his Typhoon".

I had the old RKSL thread closed because most of it was discussing non RKSL projects.

It was put on a hold until Armed Assault for several reasons (the main one being total lack of time). The next weekend may bring news about it though.

Ditto. Let's not get this offtopic.

I wonder if it can lift a Challenger 2. Anyone know?

Sadly I can sit for hours commanding air-lifts in OFP...

If it can fit an Abrams surely it can fit a Challenger?  i thought the M1A1 was wider?

If at all possible (and if UNN agrees) we should be able to make you very happy.  Some time ago we had a discussion about how to implement a semi-realisitc cargo drop system.  Calling in support drops etc.

I've been mulling over a few ideas and if ArmA engine helps us out a bit, they may get included in the Phase 2 plan for integrated scripts. But that is a long way off yet.

All of this sounds sodding amazing!! And as usual all the models look gorgeous.... Sorry if this has been asked allready... but will the jsf's use your harries vtol script?? or will it be something totally new??

Yeah, we should be able to provide plenty of variety when it comes to cargo and transport vehicles.

Jane's Tanks And Combat Recognition Vehicles Recognition Guide (2002) has the Challenger 2 at 3.52m in width, with the M1A1/2 at 3.657m. Combat weight for the Challenger 2 is 62.5 tons, while the M1A1/2 at 63 tons. Figure yah okay, they may not always be combat loaded but still the C-17 can handle one (and I tell you, that's the best plane I've ever flew on, first time I had all the space in the world, and still bothered nobody )

Yeah beats being packed like a sardine into a Hercules from the looks of it...

Thanks for the tank info. No more sitting on ships for days on end then (and getting a gong for playing volleyball).

RockofSL & UNN, looking forward to that "semi-realistic cargo drop system". How to make a sad old man happy eh... Let him play with RAF’s No 2 Group I tell yeh!

Depending on what ArmA's engine supports (IE if it hasn’t got VTOL hard-coded) then it will use a variation of the GR7 STOVL system.

It won’t be the same because the real world F-35B doesn't fly in the same way as the Harrier.  The flight control doesn’t allow for direct control of the nozzles in the same way.

It’s modal rather than manual.  The ability to hover is only available at low altitude and speed.  You can’t manually vector thrust at any point as the computer takes complete control of nozzle settings relative to the throttle position; whereas the harrier system relies on the Pilot to make the correct nozzles settings for each mode.

So the core scripts will likely be the same, the way they are used and the way you control them will be significantly different.  Long winded answer i know but i wanted to be clear

I cannot help myself for asking you again, any chance we will see some of those HAS's in ARMA?

Or have the all been canned? Because I thought you said some were saved when you had the SOH* situation...

It would be nice to have some, because there is only 1 out there right now, but its a huge shelter...

btw i dont want to be a nagging B...ch

"The Great Server Suicide"...i still have the scar.

No, the HAS havent been canned.  Just set aside for the moment.  I am going to release an update to the NATO 2 HAS and release the NATO 1 & 3 purely because im getting tired of you asking for them.  Dont ask me for time scales but they will come out very soon.

At some point in the not too distant future i was going to go through the recovered backups and release some of the older stuff that hasnt been developed further.  These models aren't complete, some are even a tad embarresing (really old and poor quality) but if anyone wants to use or develop them they are welcome to them.

Keep an eye on the "Addons Complete" section in the next few weeks.

Cheers

Thats great!!!!

I am building a RAF airbase, well still building one... Allmost like former RAF Laarbruch in Germany. (coinsidently a Harrier base ) And need some variation and well there arent any good ones. Those you were going to make were just perfect!

*grabs RAF Hunter out of the fridge!

2 up!

ps. any chance on door's on both sides? Would be great for those textures you made!

Hows Il-76 progress?

There is 1 type that has doors either end yes - but on the whole HAS dont usually have 2 sets of doors.

Hows Il-76 progress?

None since this thread was created.  If you check the first page you'll see a list of addons in priority order.   Apart from cleaning up some of the old/abandoned projects for release.  We're only working on the Harrier at the moment.

[-HUNTER- 1]

I was afraid to ask the question as I wanted to...

I wanted to ask you if your also making a Hangar with two doors!

Just noticed those planes a few pages back, they look kick-ass!

no 9K331-TOR M1

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

no 9K331-TOR M1  

I assume you'd like one made?

Well there inst one for OFP but you never knwo about ArmA... if we have time it might be something we'd look at.

Small bit of News:  Sea Skimming Missile Concept Video

As I think I’ve said in this thread in the past UNN and I have a number of concepts in development.  One of which is realistic Sea Skimming (SSM) and Stand Off Weapons (SOW).

 

The current system can easily be integrated into any addon in about 5-10 minutes. I does need some basic config alterations.  I should also point out that it will most likely not be ACES compatible.

Features include:

- Firing from up to 25km Range

- The ability to shoot down the missiles either with AA missiles or CIWS and SAM systems

- Terrain Following

Currently 4 missiles have been made and tested:

<ul>AGM-84 Harpoon

Sea Eagle

Exocet AM39

Penguin

Other versions of the scripts are still in the planning phase but will support most Cruise and stand off system.  Eventually we hope to add sub-launched systems to the existing Air and Ship units too.

Cruise and Stand Off Missiles

The current system is ideal for air launched cruise and standoff weapons.  We’ve already got several types and warheads in work.  

- Storm Shadow – BROACH Warhead

- Apache – Runway denial/Cluster munitions sytem

- AGM-154 – JSOW

- BGM-109 Tomahawk

How easy is it to use?

Very easy. Apart from a couple of cut and pasted commands in the init lines of the units and targets there is nothing else to do. Part of the requirement in this development was to make it as simple as possible to use.  There are no fancy dialogs or complex waypoint setups; they aren’t realistic if you are already in the mission playing on the front line.

I love the shot when the missle passes over the rigid raiders.

Top work

Very interesting
