da12thMonkey 1943 Posted May 1, 2007 Mega! Are those "snow-shoes" on the skids? Also, does the AH.9 have FOD & IR kit too? (I'm assuming that's refering to the stuff around the exhausts and under the root of the tail-boom). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted May 1, 2007 appears so - guess they double up well in the sand pit if if the sand is a little too soft. although I reckon that its pre hidden selection stuff, so that you can add them for snowy islands (if they ever appear) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
low light 0 Posted May 1, 2007 Fantastic news and great W.I.P shots. Is the LYNX in real life more agile than the LITTLE BIRD? I know that it's a pretty agile piece of kit but I never would have imagined that it was as agile as the LITTLE BIRD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RKSL-Rock Posted May 1, 2007 although I reckon that its pre hidden selection stuff, so that you can add them for snowy islands (if they ever appear) Nope its not a hidden selection. Mega! Are those "snow-shoes" on the skids? Also, does the AH.9 have FOD & IR kit too? (I'm assuming that's refering to the stuff around the exhausts and under the root of the tail-boom). The "snow shoes" are used to disperse the weight of the aircraft on soft surfaces.  They are used on snow but their primary use is in Iraq on the sand The AH9s that I’ve been using for reference material all have the FOD (Foreign Object Debris) Filters on the Intakes and the IR Exhaust diffusers (Similar system to the AH-64 exhast filters). The AN/ALQ-144 ECM beacon is the "thing" under the tail boom.  It works the same as DIRCM (Directed Infra Red Countermeasures) systems used on the Merlin and is versions are used Seaking and Chinook. Is the LYNX in real life more agile than the LITTLE BIRD? I know that it's a pretty agile piece of kit but I never would have imagined that it was as agile as the LITTLE BIRD. It is at speed. It is also one of the few helicopters in the world that can "back flip" from 0 speed and a few other things helicopters "aren't supposed to do". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers mate. I kind of knew what all the stuff was and what it was for, I just wanted to know if what you were refering too in the descriptions, and what I saw in the pics was what I thought it was. I asked about the AH9s since you didn't specify the filter/exhaust kit being there like for the AH7s. Do you know what the IRCM kit under the AH9's tail is btw? I've noticed that the 'beacons' are different to those of the usual AN/ALQ-144 beacons I've seen on AH7s, and US Blackhawks, Apaches etc. They look more similar to the DIRCM used on the special models of C-130 in the US and UK (AN/AAQ-24 NEMESIS?) but I haven't read anywhere what the exact CM kit used on AH9s is.

Yeah sorry I was a bit vague there. I asked about the AH9s since you didn't specify the filter/exhaust kit being there like for the AH7s. The reason I didn’t specify anything for the AH9s is that since all the pics of AH9s I’ve got show all the "extra" kit permanently bolted on.  So I’m only going to make 1 version.

I’ve seen it fitted with 2 different systems so far the AN/ALQ-144 and something else I can’t identify.  I’ve put a request into some guys I know in Iraq for some detailed pics or at least some more info so if I find out I’ll let you know.

-HUNTER- 1 Posted May 2, 2007 Looking very good on the first public screenshot! This will be another great addon from you guys! You were mentioning highly agile, and has good top speed... I was wondering how powerfull it was in terms of lift? Because when I fly the cobra to the edge in corners for instance, I loose allot of altitude real fast.

Guest RKSL-Rock Posted May 16, 2007 CANT WAIT TO SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT OF THE C130. Â WILL WE BE ABLE TO USE THEM FOR AIRBORNE OPS? Â LARGE SCALE PARACHUTE INSERTIONS? All upper case writing is considered shouting, and not very polite on these forums. I dont know any other reasons for having a C130 in game. We're only interested in making things that we can actually use. There is no point making addons with no real purpose and lets face it a C130 without the ability to do para drops is pretty useless!

-ZG-BUZZARD 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Hey RockofSL, nice Cessna you got in the works there! Although, for the nostalgia to reach 100%, it wouldn't be the same if it didn't have OFP's Cessna's white-and-orange-stripes paintjob... But I guess that could come later... Nice work!

Farles 0 Posted May 16, 2007 Rock isnt working on the Cessna actually... more on the C130 and Lynx right now... I'll take the compliment then For the Cessna colour scheme, I wasnt playing OFP at that time, so I just used a scheme I saw on a reference pic... sorry for breaking the nostalgia... You'll be able to make reskin requests to me later on (if it's that necessary :P). Thanks for all the comments so far, and I want to thanks Rock for guiding me in my ArmA adaptation process, now I'll be helping him with the addons RKSL ftw!

Sorry Farles, didn't know you were the author of that Cessna, looks darn good! I dare say RKSL Studios are going to be the BAS and DKMM of ArmA! I do hope that you've already experienced OFP though, it's very well worth the time spent, even now... And I'll be looking forward to your work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
