V-22 Osprey Tilt Rotor

V-22 Osprey Tilt-Rotor

Beta 1 - June 2008

Beta 2 - October 2008

Using Sole/Wipmans OFP V-22 model as a base I invested many hours into finding a solution to the age old problem of getting it to work in a BIS game.

Used various config and animation tricks to get it flyable.

Constructive feedback and suggestions appreciated.

************************************

This primarily is a HELICOPTER in the way

it flys. While I have tweaked everything so

it *nearly* flys like a plane in level flight,

DONT DONT DO NOT expect it to fly perfect like

a fixed wing plane. (Wait for ArmA2 for that)

Dont dive in level flight and expect to climb

out of the dive. Deadly it can be.

The Q key (up pitch) is VERY important.

AI fly pretty good, but big mountains will

kill them.

amazing!! thanks gnat!

[nastros 0]

this is brilliant and flys very well great work gnat

[kuIoodporny 45]

Walking around interiors just became my new hobby

Could it be done so 2nd pilot place will be manned by default? (needs to be clarified as turret without weapons and its proxy name/number changed etc.)

[NoRailgunner 0]

Well nice aircraft and good work!

Some extra positions "co-pilot" and "crewchief/gunner" would be nice too.

[Vultar 0]

Awesome!

Can't wait to drive in with hummer

[kuIoodporny 45]

Awesome!

Can't wait to drive in with hummer

Rather with half of hummer M1030 is tight enough xD

[rundll.exe 12]

hummer doesnt fit :P

However the skoda's fit perfectly and its great fun to jump out of the back while hovering You have to keep moving the car while flying tho.

The aircraft itself flies great, and has quite a bit of plane "feeling" when moving at speed, albeit a bit unresponsive.

[roberthammer 582]

This is great! Well Done Gnat

BTW is possible make this osprey go to up 500 km/h?

[warpuppy 0]

Well done Gnat

Nice one mate Really Nice

Flys well

Just a few Questions

1. What is the syntax to have the AI open the ramp in flight ?

2. Does the internal have the red/green light for jumping?

On a final Note :

Gnat this would fit really well on that aircraft carrier that you have hidden away !! ( Just joking Gnat )

[layne_suhr 0]

Hey Gnat great V-22 i am loving it! One gripe though.... could you add a M2 or Mk19 to the side door with the hole it would be really cool. Also is this going to be USMC, USAf or Army V-22?

[mankyle 410]

First of all, Gnat thank you, thank you and once again thank you for releasing this addon.

Even for a beta release it shows a great potential. Now let's go to the constructive part

Suggestions:

- The RVMATs you have used for the fuselage are too reflective. Sometimes it looks is silver

- The glass is bullet proof

- The sound loop of the engines does a slightly noticeable hiccup.

- When the landing gear opens you don't hear any sound. Would it be possible to add one so when the landing gear opens a sound is played?

I haven't found anything else and I can only say

GOOD WORK!!!!  

PS: Could EddyD help with the textures?
