Can't someone contact guys from OFP where they already have a functioning model? I even saw that movie from multiplayer when they load the APC and take off :) and OFP is not much different to A1/A2 as you would think :)

I remember emailing him ages ago and seemed like he wasn't too bothered about bringing it out. Which is a shame but its not he first time someone will feel like that. For example, our lovely Gnat has loads of aircraft that he's not releasing, but just using for his own devices....

Have you got the link to the multiplayer one? I'd love to see that!

I don't think it was from Multiplayer. I think it was just a WiP taster for the old USCM Mod or Project Alien, one of the two.

Anywhere, here it is again.

Whenever this gets churned out someone needs to liase with Vilas to make sure his APC will fit inside!

WWHHHOOOOAAAAAA!!!!!!! Right I need to get some AAA batteries for my delorean and go back and tell him that his only purpose and to save the world will be to release this addon!! lol

Sometimes it not as easy as just releasing stuff, currently my HD I have 20 jets converted to Arma2 in various states and 60 for arma1 (same condition).

Now it doesn't for one second mean that I can release them, as

a) I have to get permissions for each one I want to release (mostly obtained)

In most cases the models I use are from OFP and the authors either do not reply (most of these were made like 5 years ago) or won't allow a release (rare but has happened).

b) the community expects a certain level of quality in the 'free' addons, hell if they weren't so fussy I could release 5 jets by the end of the week :)

The amount of work just converting from arma1 to arms2 is actually quite high hence why I haven't released anything other than the F1 Ferrari and Kiowa.

For example from memory the F35 or F15 I converted for arma1 both had in the region of 2500 lines of cfg coding each.

I do almost all this work alone except for the textures and some scripts.

You will see addons just not as quick as we all would like :)

Well, we already have a functioning model (More or less.), soo... :confused:

It still would be a lot quicker to get the working OFP addon and convert it.

[halleyelec 10]

Isn't it all just swings and roundabouts thought? I mean, starting a new addon for arma / arma II and having to change all the configs and LODS from the old one? They'd both probably take just as much time as each other.

I'm not too sure. I remember that there was a lot of scripting involved so wouldn't that need to all be rejigged to work with ArmA 2?

I have some OFP conversion still using to some degree the OFP scripts, they just need tweaking in most cases.

From experience, I can get a OFP addon jet working in Arma1 in about 10 mins, just the basics, to bring that upto release standard might take 15/20 hours.

Arma2 release standard would be higher and take more time.

For me personally an OFP converion would be easier.

Don't get me wrong Elbe mate, I understand what your saying. But getting our paws on the OFP one would be a challenge seen as they never released it, and the guys who were involved in the old project Alien mod went quiet a long time ago. :(

yeah thats true tho I did see one of them was still replying to threads on the youtube page.

Otherthan that ask Vilas very nicley and see what happens :)

[b00ce 160]

Or... we could just use this model, add animations and write up some code... :j:

I'm sure that SOMEBODY is up to the challenge, considering ArmA 2 code is "supposed to be easier that ArmA 1's" from what I hear. Granted, there is probably a lot of code involved regardless. I've also noticed that the parts of the model are nicely partitioned, I imagine that it would make adding animations easier.

[Rhodesy77 11]

well along you go, chop chop! cant expect some1 else to do everything mate, if u want it done then learn to script :), would be a good project for you....

[b00ce 160]

I would, if I had the faintest clue as to what to do. So far, tutorials haven't helped. I'm lost. I suppose I should leave it to the pros, and stick to mapping for Source. ;)

[halleyelec 10]

I know what you mean! Think I have all the tutorials and still can't get down and grasp it. Think it certainly helps to have a background in it. Besides I never have a minute to myself anymore :(

[goose4291 11]

Getting the APC to stick to the dropship should be a lot easier now, it could be done using the attachto command...

[b00ce 160]

Indeed. This is going to come together nicely, the attach-to command just seals the deal and adds some icing and a cherry to top it off.

Are there any news about the B2-Spirit?
