V-22 Osprey Tilt Rotor

[[aps]gnat 28]

Last link doesnt work Manzilla.

Thx, I can see from the first link the guns on a wall mounted swing-out bar.

Thanks for the "flight" compliments, but half is design, half is luck.

I have flown in choppers etc many times, but you can "see" how it flys in many videos etc.

Just wished I could make it look a little more realistic.

Of course the height of the fuselage is not correct, its a little higher so you can walk in.

I'll look a little more at my options for ramps, swing-bars and positions ......

Try this one:

http://military.discovery.com/tv/osprey/osprey.html

It's the official website for the US TV station The Military Channel and their documentary "Flight of the Osprey". Look for Osprey Videos -> Watch Show Clips in the grey border on the left. If the videos don't work try to see what player is needed. I'm not sure by the looks of mine.

Ok you do know about the fuselage. I probably should've mentioned something but I wasn't sure what info you had. I have no clue what the dimensions are but from experience I know it's a bit bigger. It's gotta be difficult to get accurate info on the workings, true dimensions and probably info in general that I'd sound like an ass saying, "it's not accurate, but I can't back that up".

On a plane, heli, whatever, as unknown as this there is probably a point to leave good enough alone. Unless one has the time and effort of course. I figured it may be getting close to that point on the model so I wanted to cut you some slack.

If you have time to tweak that a little bit it may help with the gunner placement, visually at least. Regardless, I'm still not over how well you got the mechanics and general flight.

You know... "death box" or not those boys at Bell/Boeing Heli are geniuses. Let's not forget persistent as well. This thing really is a marvel. And it's a blast in ArmA.

Very nice!

Didn't someone send you some USMC textures? If so, I hope you use 'em. At any rate, looking good and I'm glad to see that tail gunner. That'll come in handy.

cool! Hope it gets a bit of scratch n wear n tear on it

Btw just saw that you had the marines version in CP thread! Nice with 'em extra textures and markings, looks more like a military vehicle with 'em extra stuff.

[[aps]gnat 28]

Yeh, wear&tear is hard

Markings are hard too because a no similar setups

See what I can do .....

EricM's re-tex. To be part of the next release

Very Nice, looking forward to using it on the Nimitz.

The gunner looks really awkward?? Are you going to make the ramp go horizontal

Really off-topic, but what map are you using there?

Great Mod by the way Gnat!

warden, quotin pics in this forum not allowed ....

The island is the very nice Sakakah Al Jawf

by Opteryx

Forgot to mention, interior has all been redone ..... ArmA textures, not OFP ones

[warden308 0]

Woops, thanks for that Gnat.

[ravenholme 50]

Looking good

[mankyle 405]

Nope, looking veeeeeeeeeery good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now there are only two things to do.

1st: add a copilot slot

2nd: Solve the proxies problems where you can shoot them with everything you've got and don't do a thing

[Commando84 0]

Gnat maybe you can look at choppers in generals and see where the wearn tear apears

But if you really can't do it i will still be happy for the new painted versions with marines and all.

I can take this thing down with a SAW just shooting one of the two engines. It doesn't blow up or anything, but it does start to put it into a slight spin and it starts to come down. Although with any other heaver weapons, it does get blow out of the sky alot easier and too quickly.

[Kristian 47]

whats the rear-gunner armed with? is that m2? even when its armed, will I be able to pull the ramp up if there is too big risk for the gunner to be shot? I just have to suffer until you relas those babys.. they just look so, how can I say? cool?

[vengeance1 50]

Gnat,

How about a progress report? We are all dying out here to include the Osprey in a Mission!

[[aps]gnat 28]

Its nearly finished enough for a beta 2 release, but I have another surprise to drop on the community in the next couple of weeks first

[bravo 6 0]

arf arf

i hate surprises

Good to know!

Hope its a better and improved texture

[slatts 1978]

i dont know if someone already pointed it out but when u are inside the heli and it takes of you fall out the back

also maybe its been noted but also if u tell the poilt to open the doors he takes off

[M.Andersson(SWE) 4]

Haaaa haaaa i know what it is

NOT...

But im guessing. And if im right...Droooling

[manzilla 1]

i dont know if someone already pointed it out but when u are inside the heli and it takes of you fall out the back

I've heard of this but I've never been able to replicate it? Do they fall out when seated near the back(when it's nearing capacity.) Or does it happen with just a few seated in the back?

The only reason I ask is cause I'm curious to see it in game. I've used this Osprey religiously since it was released and have never come across this bug. I'm wondering if one of the many AddOns and Mods I always use is negating this bug.

I think he means when he STANDING in the back.

Yes off course you can fall out .... the game engine doesnt actually allow you to stand in a moving vehicle !!!!

Its only luck that you can stand in the back of a moving V22 at all.

Beta 2 has a rear door GEO LOD, so now theres less chance in falling out ..... but hey, its all a lucky bonus anyway, don't complain.

Also, I changed the "disembark" point for both cargo and pilots to be INSIDE the cargo bay.

This nice feature means if the chopper is hovering and the back door is open, as Cargo you can "get out" and then run and jump off the ramp

.... and yes, before you point out that you would then fall to your death, theres a special "parachute" action item that means you can "get out" and then run and parachute off the ramp also.
