Looking great mate - that NZ Lav looks especially tough!

There was a great doco on TV about the Kiwis in WW1 recently, and how history has (unfairly) marginalised the New Zealand Army - respect to you guys!

Nice, cant wait it

[Elite SEAL 0]

Some very impressive looking stuff there, especially liking the NZLAV.

Are those completely new UH-1s or have you sourced them somewhere else?

[mr.g-c 6]

Those models are looking really AWESOME!

Wow... thats definitely a mod im looking forward too.... keep up the good work!

[nzdfcrash 33]

Ritter made them (the UH1 that is)

[sabre 244]

LAVIII's are looking good mate, will be good to see em with some paint.

[a6-intruder 0]

Are those completely new UH-1s or have you sourced them somewhere else?

Yeah Ritter made the UH-1, I think he originally tried to port a Flight Sim model but it got too hard so ended up making it from scratch. We know the HW hueys are probably a little better but these are a close second and we don't have any issues putting these in the mod.

On the Seasprite, there was a problem with the rotors spinning the wrong way?  It's been a long time since I checked the Seasprite out but I do remember something wasn't right with either the tail rotor or the main rotor and/or both.  You might want to check this out.  Glad you changed the sound too, it was a bit loud.

[nzdfcrash 33]

lol yea you could hear it from the otherside of the map as if it was right beside you

[rocket 9]

Looking great Crash. Only think I could think of, is maybe up the contrast on the DPM fabric a bit? Looks a little washed out, but otherwise looks fantastic. Hopefully will have UV's unwrapped for John shortly... been a tough few weeks in the industry

Keep up the great work!

[nzdfcrash 33]

Heres some new WIP shots of the NZLAVIII

Interior of the LAVIII

Hopefully we will have some new screenshots of progress soon

[Stewy 1]

Looks great mate - please keep it up!

Wow that is identical to the cdn version.  I can help code etc.  PM me for my msn if you want I have some help.  I am qual with this veh.

Need help with a shovel, sledge etc for the tool bin  Very nice work.  Very impressed with your modelling.

You including thermal, cmdr's override and ii?  

The cmdr should not come out of the turret very far if possible.  I just bring my head above the sights.

The storage bin should likely be off for combat.

Is it possible to open the back hatches and allow air sentries?

[nzdfcrash 33]

AfrographX's nh90 reskinned in RNZAF colours.

Back in 2005 the NZ govt decided to replace the rnzaf's ageing fleet of UH1H choppers selecting the NH90 TTH to succeed the hueys.

Am currently working on getting the gear and cargo animations operational.

[AASE 0]

Love the LAV III guys about time to see one ingame to much US stuff lol

[Stewy 1]

...and that NH-90 looks 'sweet as, bro'

Thanks NZDF Crash, good luck with it mate

NZLAV ALPHA DOWNLOAD

Quoting John who released this beta in the NZDF mod Forums:

Quote[/b] ]at least I fixed the scope to match the ballistic, in order to find correct range reading, when in gunner seat, press and hold "space" bar, place the range marker on targets, then refer to the number show on the scope, line the gun to targets. "MG" is for coaxial MG, "HE" is for HEI-T, "FS" is for APFSDS-T.

There're still some errors need to be fixe, such as animations on cmdr's hatch and speed indicators. Also the MG mounted on top of turret isn't operational yet etc.. I haven't finished the resolution LODs, so the vehicle will disappear in far distance.

The main purpose of this release is to see the performance impact on different systems, if there is huge performance drop, plz let me know that. Also I want to see if it works with multiplayer on servers.

enjoy! C&C are welcome!
