NoRailgunner 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Nice addon with good training campaign! Maybe some people are only suspicious about armaaddons aka bdfy aka.. because he want to sell addons without permission? And this addon could be mistunderstood as advertisement "candy" for armaaddons profit dreams....you know - people can be very suspicious Anyway an statement about this and further "armaaddons- business-man" behaviour would be appreciated.

Pathy 0 Posted March 31, 2008 I think the point here is that Bdfy has repeatedly cast doubt onto his own character, through trying to rip and sell addons. It is a fact that he's tried to sell addons, and that he's advertised with videos showing content that is from other games. This is not debatable, his website and youtube vids are infact still up, still offering his "services". Thus, why is it so wrong for people to doubt the source of this addon? They may or may not be right, but given the character of bdfy, it's reasonable to hold doubt over this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted March 31, 2008 Quote[/b] ]@Shadow NXThe aircraft looks great, very damn sexy and the campaign is great too, but the bird doesn't really leave a whole lot in the ways of game play. I understand its an old aircraft but in terms of ArmA basic, all aircraft have open-able doors of some sort and moving flaps, right now the craft only has a moving rudder, it seems sort of..static. You write it is static... for you. An standard ArmA Hummer is kind of static too: you can't not open any doors, soot through open windows or at least deploy different weapons on the hatch. But you play and like the game and have here about 1400 posts since 2004... An aircraft that is made for 1 person flying has all the functions that are needed for good play and looks photo realistic - don't download if you don't want to. I'm of the opinion that Volksturm did an extremely good job with the model and texture on this aircraft and should be very proud of it, but what exactly is wrong with Shadow NX pointing out where this addon could be improved? Yes the HMMWV lacks animations as do most of the ground vehicles, however all the planes made by BIS for ArmA have moving flaps, elevators and landing gear that retract correctly. This addon doesn't, and in that respect it's lacking when compared to a number of aircraft in the game. I understand that it may have been designed for 100% first person flight but by having no flaps it lacks an important core function for controlling ArmA aircraft. That said, the vanes that run along the surface of the wing in 3rd person aren't present in 1st person, so there are details missing for 1st person pilots too.

dead kennedy 124 Posted March 31, 2008 "I mean this... I doubt that..." The authors have done a mammoth job, put their work and personal time. However, the couple got people who, instead of "thank you" speak "it seems to me that the model stolen because... Aaah... Weeell... " It is simply lol. Do not b children and go something useful. Addonmaking, for example ))) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wipman 1 Posted March 31, 2008 Hi, i repeat... the man (bdfy) has been banned from this forum, so he can't defend himself; and in the readme.txt says very clear that he only made the plane's config and that Volksturm made the model and textures. So i don't know what's the problem here... that the man did a good job with the config and the few scripts that this plane must use?, that's the problem!?; and talking here instead in the armedassault.info forum (from where bdfy hasn't been banned) is just denie him the oportunity to defend himself or just to say whatever. If the problem is that bdfy wants or wanted to sell addons (which is illegal) then wait for the man to sell an addon ("break the law") and then do your job as good BIS lawer dog... and sue the man. Who knows... maybe BIS will hand you an ArmA-II copy for free... until then... give the man the chance to defend himself at the armedassault.info forums!! .

FriketMonkey 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Nice combination, Awesome plane and nice campaign. The mig fit perfectly in the ARMA SLA lowbudget setting. And it handles well. Great Job guys!

If the problem is that bdfy wants or wanted to sell addons (which is illegal) then wait for the man to sell an addon ("break the law") Actually considering that he has been banned under 4 different account names now, including the one he used in this thread, he had more than enough opportunity to defend himself, instead he stayed hidden and tried to pretend he was someone else not affiliated with Bdfy, that's pathetic behaviour IMO and there can be no justification for it, I don't care how good his scripting may be, his behaviour is deplorable and exhibits extremely poor character, both in what he tries to do (steal people's work and sell it to make money for himself) and the way he goes about doing it by embedding himself in this community under varias aliases. If the model wasn't by Volksturm this thread will be closed, if there are further attempts to defend Bdfy in this thread the thread will be closed, as far as I'm concerned his past actions are indefensible.

USSRsniper 0 Posted March 31, 2008 I wonder if he actually made that thing at all...been quite much trouble with that guy.. aka astanid aka aka try to sell his addons lol... You think it is another import from FSX? Â I have doubts that bdfy would do that. And yes he can reply for himself...in a way...not directly... Ofcourse he didn't make it, Volksturm stole his own model http://www.render.ru/gallery....al_add= bdfy just made the config, and helped him, getting the model into the game.

xnodunitx 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Show me a better/ or at least equal aircraft made by community. There is a good chance there will be no addon of better quality and campaign; till the game gets forgotten with ArmA II.This is exactly the art of attitude of criticism that nobody can like here. Another addon-makers who done much more less get their support, but here talented addon makers get really discriminated for what they said/ wrote in the past. Do you really believe that a guy who said a wrong/ incorrect sentence or has / had different point of view (and was banned for it) can't do good work?! There is at least good support from talented teams and members on the Russian forums. You write it is static... for you. An standard ArmA Hummer is kind of static too: you can't not open any doors, soot through open windows or at least deploy different weapons on the hatch. But you play and like the game and have here about 1400 posts since 2004... An aircraft that is made for 1 person flying has all the functions that are needed for good play and looks photo realistic - don't download if you don't want to. That all depends on how you view quality, as I said, in terms of graphics its quality is unpresidented and the best I'v seen on air addon as far as texturing goes, I think Volkstrum did a terrific job on it, in terms of gameplay it lacks a bit but that is not Volkstrums fault. I said Arma aircraft not Arma humvee's. The reason I call it static is because as I said, the rudder is the only thing that moves, it doesn't have moving ailerons which is what makes the least sense to me since aircraft from even WWI have had them, otherwise how do you change the aircrafts pitch? You're missing my point, I'm not accusing this of being stolen (considering it was made by Volksturm and not bdfy, why is it you seem to read this in opposite?). I'm simply pointing out a few things that should probably be fixed since they are a standard for aircraft to function. And one more thing...exactly what does my post count have to with anything?

NSX 8 Posted March 31, 2008 2 placebo His past actions might be not good, but THAT doesn't give anyone right to say, that he stolen THIS addon. He did great job with config and scripting, making this plane much better than BIS ones in terms of playbility. I think as experienced scripter of very popular Liberation mod he has enough skills to do this. As for "Volksturm did it or not" - I'll translate one post, written by Volksturm himself in comments on the page, on that USSRSniper gave his link (unfortunately these MBs don't support cyrillic letters). If someone can't read russian - it means:"In comments I already wrote, that I'm going to put this plane into Armed Assault". I guess it's enough for crititcs to shut up? Even if you hate bdfy so much, you should at least respect volksturm and his work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1052 Posted March 31, 2008 Reading readme's seems to be a general problem in this community. Otherwise people would have noticed that, as pointed out several times, Volksturm made the model and not bdfy/armaaddons/Astanid/Astabalt/whatever comes next. Until someone can come up with an incontrovertible proof that the model has been stolen this discussion comes to an end now. Any further unproven accusations will result in a PR and/or WL. As for bdfy/armaaddons/Astanid/Astabalt: Like Placebo already said, he had his chance to defend himself and wasted it. There will be no other chance. It's a fact that he's trying to sell copyrighted models from other people/games. I have the proof right here on my HD. There's everything said on this issue too, now we concentrate solely on the (really good) addon itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you hate bdfy so much, you should at least respect volksturm and his work. What, I think placebo is referring to when he says BDFY stole people's work is the videos he’s put on YouTube. The CH-46 from COD4, the BAS(?) OH-58 etc. Given BDFY's recent history of trying to sell addons which is against the EULA, ripping other people's work and using it to advertise his "business plans" I think most people would be very suspicious. As for the model and textures, I think they are excellent. The shape, form and mapping is fantastic. But like xnodunitx I would have liked to have seen proper working flying surfaces and airbrakes. Certainly to have the weapons line up on the HUD properly would be a good thing. Or is that just due to Track IR use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LFO 0 Posted March 31, 2008 the weapon line-up issue is due to trackIR/ freelook use. i thought so too at first, but if you don't look around the weapons are perfeclty lined up. i'm in mission 5 of the campaign now, and didn't have such a blast playing ArmA for a long time. outstanding, simply!!

Daniel 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Am I the only one that sees moving ailerons, rudder, flame out the back and spinning wheels? Doesn't seem very static to me. Combined with 6th Sense tracers and NIM weather, makes for a very fun game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparks50 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Is there any way to use NIM weather without editing the mission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LastNinja9 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Now, if "they" only could fix the ailerons so that they move the right way, and add animated flaps and such, this would be perfect. That is, if the great modeler, texturer and scripter is on the same team. It's sad that this addon probably won't be improved now, since 'he' is banned and all, and people apparently are full of rage. I do agree selling other peoples work is a no go. Maybe this talented "BDFY" is playing by the book now ? I F****** LOVE THIS ADDON Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
