Yes i think alot of you keep forgetting these guys have no dedicated modeller. So they can only use whats been donated.

[wld427 1705]

Well we have severaly people with wonderfull talents in editing models but unfortunately we have no one that can build one fromt he ground up for us. We are forced to rely on people like Vilas, Afrografx, Footmunch and Obmar among others.

Heres a look at the pumas and the NH-90. Ive been promising pics for a while but now they are finally close to completion.

Gunship

if i tell you the truth i love the camo the chilean mod has done for his Puma helicopter , i have included it in my RACS army (making the apropiate config tweakings)

i like the NH-90 , it's a good addition too.

[manzilla 1]

Yup nice NH-90. I love those heli's.

I agree the Chilean mod did a great job. For our mod we chose to stick with matching what BIS already provided us in the game. Therefore we go with the all tan. I would love to cammo up the birds but it just doesnt fit.

Other News:

We are getting some really good progress on the ground front. M113s are almost done. FA Dalai Lamar is working on the RVMATs for the Tpz-1 Fuchs APC. Once he finishes that up we may dig into creating some more variants. For now though there will definately be at least the APC and Ambulance variants. Chinook RVMATs are done just need some mroe testing and its ready for release.

Also we have fixed the texture bug on the F-16 tank buster and that will be up for down load along with more big fixes on the Mirages, and Etendards.

If you want to see more or different variants of the planes let us know. for example if you want a MirageIII with iron bombs just say so... wouldnt be much to make it.

Please keep the feedback coming in and the big reports as well. This way we can get everything sorted out

Thanks

Well, I'd realy like to see a Mirage with iron bombs, but (and that might sound a bit strange) I'd even more like to see a cap version with only 2 or 4 AAMs but maybe an additional fueltank or something like that. I mean, it's your addon and you can arm them the way you like, maybe this '6 shooter' is a domestic modification or something like that, but I'm used to Mirages with the before mentioned armament. Another thing I wanted to ask regarding the F16 is: were you able to solve the 'one missileproxy per plane only' problem?

and my last question is about your infantry, will you have your own models or just reskins? anyway, could you give us a hint, what we can expect in terms of look and gear?

one more thing: thank you for all the time and work you guys are putting into this mod!

[william1 0]

maybe you could reskin the Alouette III as a light support chopper for the RACS

[straubinger82 3]

Great work.

When this stuff comes out I will jump through the room^^.

One, Question.

Is there a chance for a civil version of that Puma?

Just the third one shown on this page, without the "Royal Sahrani Navy"-blend would do a perfect job for that.

Just a try... don´t blame me, know this is usally ment for RACS.

Good luck with your very welcomed work.

[wld427 1705]

Alouette is in the bullpen.... just waiting for me to get to it

@FLv*VeNoM*... the CAP version we have now will stay. But what loadout for bombs would you like to see? what configurations?

the f-16 one missile proxy problem still stays. I would love to script the missiles... just need help in recruiting someone that can do that for us.

The infantry will be models donated by several others. They will eb changed up quite a bit. FA Dalai Lamar is really in charge of them so i will get him to post some WIP info in them for ya.

@Straubinger82... do you have an example of a paint job you have in mind? I can get Eddy D to wip one up rather quickly. Are yo looking for a general transport, police, or a medical helicopter?

[Falcon 1 0]

Should have used the South African version we used for a testbed to test the weapons platform for the Rooivalk (Red Hawk) Attack Hellicopter  

& The end result:

Good job on the fleet so far Mates, keep it up  

[oldbear 390]

Just some pics of civilians Pumas :

CHC Super Puma is operated in Angola on oil rig support work for BP

HeliSwiss Super Puma working as a flying crane, here in South of France

[straubinger82 3]

Oh, great!  

Nice to see an interest in that.

A one colored version of that amazing Puma or that impressive Huey (without weapons) would be very fine.

Perhaps a Mi-17 could easilly be morphed to a Mi-8?

No need of any police or rescue... just barely civil, or industrial.

A well used lighter blue, or a soft beige... something useable for civil operations would be so exciting.

Does anybody remember the movie "Clear and Present Danger"?

Jack T. Ryan is buying a used Huey down in south america with his CIA-cheques^^. Thats something in my mind...  

It would really be amazing seeing something like that..

but your lineup is porno anyway!

Thank you for audience.

EddyD hammered out a nice all white one with a blue stripe on it. This way it will satisfy both the civillian and police requests. i will get a photo up as soon as possible.

EDIT..... Add Photo

[PSYCHOSIM 0]

Looks good

[straubinger82 3]

Oh yeah!

That is exactly what I´m asking for.

Very, very nice and detailed texture.

Thanx EddyD for that work.

Seen and bought!  

(feel free to add some colorchanges )

[wld427 1705]

glad you are pleased.....

Still waiting to hear some feedback on what type of bomb loadout you guys would like to se eon the mirage......

Also, we would love to see you guys start posting in game pics in this thread or on the addon complete section. PLEASe help us promote the mod.

Pumas, M113s, and M60-2000 are getting really close....

[flv*venom* 83]

Hi there,

nice Helos. about the bomb loadout: maybe some napalm or cluster bombs, to aid the Entendards, or at least a pair of tripple mk82 launchers, like the ones on the Entendard.

Thanks for the Info about the Infantry, I'm looking forward to those screens.

[fritz160 wolf 0]

nice man nice.  About the armored forces. theres already the M60a3 & m1a1 reskined addons for the Racs out there. how you gona distigush your pattons from the rest of the pack " like are ya gona add era plates to the pattons or something?.

also anthor good tank for the Racs could be the centurion tank.  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion_tank

good news is the isreail war mod guys got a arma model.  it slap some blazer armor on bam  its ready to tango with t72s and possibly t90s

[oldbear 390]

I like the Etendard IV, even if it's an ugly airplane, with not enough load out, but as a little boy recollection.

So we need a better model with wheel turning round and a retractable hook (my Heller model has a complicated and fragile  nylon wire/pulleys system neverworking)

For the load out, remember there are only 4 under wing  pods so if you load the necessary 2 large fuel tanks, (I have always seen Etendards flying with those) there are only 2 pods available

- for the "long range air patrol" mission : 2 sidewinders.

- for the "long range bombing missions"  : 2 free fall or 2 laser guided bombs.

- for the "long range ground attack" : 2 AS 30 AG missiles.

But if your pilot is gambling on his ability of making very low use of fuel and is flying a nearby target :

- for the "close range bombing missions" : 6 free fall or laser guided bombs (2 bombs on the inside pod, 1 on the outside).

- for the "close range ground attack" : 2 AS 30 AG missile and 2 18-round unguided rocket pods (1 missiles on the inside pod and 1 unguided rocket pod on the outside).

You can also build a "non-realistic" Etendard IV PM equivalent, reconnaissance version without weapons but with camera in nose and camera pod underbelly without weapons but with ECM and flare using some scripts and object built for UAV planes.

there will be an upgaded model out soon with the wheels propperly turning and shadows. Etendard loadous were selected to by some very detailed information on the actual aircraft. Its very difficult to put alot of ordnacne on a plane that can carry only 4000lbs. I think betweent he naval and airforce versions there are plenty of options. Most of what you are looking for is already there.

bomber version of mirage will carry a pair of triple six bombs and rocket pods.

Also if anyone would like to see us finish the F-4 we need help with RVMATS. If you can do them and are interested please contact me.

@fritz160wolf.... we have the M60-2000 version. Vilas has also provided us his Leo1s anf Leo2. They are with EddyD now for is painting wizzardry.

here is a look at a couple of the M113s there will be about 9 for you to choose from.....

what you are seeing here is pretty much final.....just a couple small bugs and it will be released. I would knock them out today but my lil one made me promise to take her to the zoo.
