About the bus

[bangcraher 0]

I read there was bus who is making his tours as in real life (yes, everybody knows that now), but would it apply to all, would you have real life, people who live in villages and towns, go to work every day of the week, little boys playing with the ball (there was one in the original game (I mean the ball), no?) on the central place of the village and so on. If they haven't already planned it yet, I would ask them if they could do this. It would be even more fantastic if you could program it in the editor (such as: set density of people, set buses halts, lesser or more buses and it looks crazy, but why not be able to set the average age of the population (having a population who are growing as in real time, doing it by the computer, so you have only to set one time a face and the computer will modify this when growing old) and so on).

It would be also cool if they add real time seasons (Autumn - Winter - Spring - Summer).

Why do they not also include a real time grade. Trough campaign missions, related to the scoring, you will have a higher grade (or become a simple soldier again). To make it not necessarly decided by the editor (but again you would be able to lock the grade as for the real time life who must have the option to be desactivated.

Ah, and a least request: would there be as for a civilian bus, a civilian airplane and\or helicopter?

Even if they don't include anything of this above, I find it a excellent addon and as many others I can't wait until it will be released ( but it don't bother me if they release it a bit later due to the including of this suggestions).

Theyre is already a Cessna in game that is a civil airplane. For the changing faces, it would take too much time for them to do that. For the grade, almost impossible because in the campaign, in each mission it would need that everyone know that you have change grade...anyway, would be too much complicated. I think...

One could probably do it, but it would be to hard on the computer... Its better just to script the specifics for a mission one is working on, like cars driving around or people talking on a square or walking around... Then you only get the ones you want, when you want them.

The first thing I thinked of when I opened the editor... It'd be cool if you got winter when choosing december as month for example.

I didn't mean a personal plane, but something like a boeing 737, but I think something smaller would be more appropriate to ofp.

Yeah, I really enjoyed playing "Virtual Stuck In Traffic"

I wonder how many people the bus will hold, 24, 30, more, less, i think the Chinook holds 24+pilot, so will the bus be more or less?

I'm sorry but I just can't wait to launch LAWs at a bus load of civs.

Imagine it.

(It's dark)

LAWSoldier-Sir I hear an engine

Officer-Get ready sounds like armour to me

(Glare of headlights)

Officer-Fire dammit!

(Boom)

Officer-Inspect the wreckage, lets see what we've got here.

LAWSoldier-Um sir?

Officer-Arse! Not again that's the third bus tonight.

(I'm not exactly a literary genius)

i can just imagine it now. blowing up a bus with a LAW. hopefully it won't fly to the moon like the UAZ

[Shabadu 0]

Mind you one of the first things I'll try is sending the bus into orbit. Mmmm mines.

[LordZach 0]

i doubt the bus would be heavy enough to trigger the mines

[Major Fubar 0]

I wonder how many troops..errrm passengers....it will carry?

[LordZach 0]

my guess would be probably 36 so you can cram a good 3 full squads in there

or they could always try the school system way and cram 3 people into what was made for 2, this increasing to what...48? i suck at math

[N.o.R.S.u 0]

Hmm I wonder will it be big old bus 30+ passangers or a smaller minibus >15 passangers.

[LordZach 0]

well if it's a minibus i'm sure people will go wild making short yellow bus mods to put all the "retarded russian soldiers" in

Being 6 foot 6 inches tall, the last time I rode a bus that was meant for 8 year olds, I couldn't sit in the seat cause there wasn't enough leg room, so I had to sit with my legs in the middle.  Then I remember bashing my head on the ceiling when I stood up.  So I have a deep down hatereed for school buses... i better get my satchels ready and check the sights on my laws.

I'd like a mission with the bus to recreate the movie Speed

[LT.Schaffer 0]

hey all,

Maybe we'll be able to shoot from the bus so that we can re-create the chase scene in

{Where Eagles Dare}

What do you all think?

LT.Schaffer

[LordZach 0]

no, it's not possible to shoot from vehicles (other than the normal weapons) because the game doesn't support it.

[Antichrist 0]

It actually might in Resistance!

Obscure reference inbound...."Don't make a fuss, just get on the bus."

[WKK Gimbal 0]

I fantasise about shooting out a front tyre with my SVD, right as the bus makes a narrow turn on a cliffside road. Oh, behold! The horror! 200 Mph down a 80 degrees cliff!!

how far would a bus go if it got hit by a m60 patton tank?
