Trying to do a bulldozer, get model ingame, driver gets INSIDE the model, think it's related to it being tank class in the config, anyone know a way around that? (besides defining it as a car class, driver works then but tracks don't)

exactly, Instead of sitting on the dozer's seat like he's supposed to, (and does in bulldozer view) once the model is ingame the driver gets into the body of the dozer. P.S. I have the view LOD defined, since it's an open vehicle I just copy the 0.000 LOD to make it

Sorry if I ruffled yer feathers Supah, (I have read the M16's are standins, comprende jus' fine, was jus' throwing ideas at random, <hint CETME>) modders are too touchy nowadays, too many folks whining at 'em I guess.

M151's are hard to find? 1200 M151's are still held in depot storage at Lexington Blue Grass Army Depot, probably more are held elsewhere, Just becuase they don't dump them in job lots on the open market doesn't make them scarce. On the NAF, yes I'd say they would be a little less western, maybe give them some more common open market weapons? <CETME,FNC,MiMINI, that sorta thing>

Somebody better start making the offshore oil rigs to support this oversized "island" military

That Mas is a postwar <'46-'49> version (I own 2) Try to find a MAS 36 with open tri-bladed front sight <try the Curio and Relic firearms forums>

Blackdog and his entire site are gone AFAIK, so I can't see him finishing anything. anybody still have the P3D?

Umm required addons, kinda hard to use when finding them is a problem <note, ADF doesn't have them on their site, and they made them>

Ugh frk, wish all the best for ya man. Yeah the Hind wasn't very good at NOE, <rigid rotor systems suck> but it still doesn't fly very high <take a top speed under 300 MPH, pair it against SAMS with a speed of Mach 2, would you want to get any further into their engagement envelope then you had to?>

If you want to control the battlefield, and preserve your men, nothing comes close to a MBT, All this talk about LOSAT and phasing out tanks sounds novel and dangerous, If I hadn't already heard it all before <when the Sagger came out>

<snort> Hell, I've thrown down on my PC over email

Or, <wait for it, crazy idea time> Maybe the guys doing 80% of the work can just release addons that people can enjoy? The large mods have their place, however, there would not be a fanbase waiting for the latest BAS/RHS release or hanging on for more teaser shots from I44 without the constant release of small addons to keep the community interested. If a mod can set itself up like BAS <which to all intent is a professional production/development team minus the paychecks> then they might survive groups of modders working loosely in a "mod" framework is generally more hassle than collaberation.

First off, from the ground without a line of sight, the noise from rotors tends to confuse, rather than help you spot them. Second, in combat choppers operate at NOE <Nap Of the Earth> altitudes, believe me, camo works when you fly BELOW the tree tops

Hehe, infinite ability to bash code together until something works can be a plus too, <guess which category I fit in?>

Don't worry about the American goverment hating you, hell, they hate US! <100% american heah, disabled vet> Beeyootiful work, the Puma is especially cool, BAS quality that. I must confess ignorance of many modern French vehicle types, <I didn't know what any of these things were> But waiting for the armor pack <I hope you put AMX30's in it too, not just the Leclerc>

hmm your FMC looks a little squashed, did ya drop it? Nice stuff, do try to get these out <too many modders are quitting nowadays in this all too hostile environment>

The 8 in SP Howitzer <currently the only nuclear capable artillery in the US Army> is open topped, which makes it, ermm, "undesirable" to remain on the gun while firing, think they now use a timer released trigger activated through the TACFIRE computer. As for the #1 winner in the "well it seemed like a good idea at the time" The Davy Crockett manportable nuclear delivery system never really had a chance of becoming a real weapon, The Airforce and Navy didn't like the Army getting anymore nuclear systems, the Army would rather have had a new main battle tank <the ill-fated MBT70> and the troops absolutely HATED the idea. Wonder why?

"D" Hogs are smaller, with an older engine the Hotels were the last incarnation of the UH-1 in regular army service, larger airframe,better avionics,more powerful engine. <----- "H" hog crewchief '80-'81

Course, yes some rather sick folks would abuse it, BFD, they do that now. On the subject of arming the kids, History, help me out Ah, 9 yr old being awarded the Iron Cross for destroying a tank, Berlin '45 16 yr old girl manning a mg42 East Prussia '45 8 yr old Squad "leader" Iran-Iraq war '80's <later promoted to platoon leader and killed leading an attack, at the age of 9> And a plethora of sad little Vietnamese children of various ages,wired <and not for sound>

Well guess you're just too cool for us, I give up, let's try something completely new......... I got it, how's about we just don't DO mods, since they obviously won't meet with the approval of a self-appointed minority. I quit, make your own damn toys.

Well, you've already decided what YOU don't need. Good for you, now take the next step and just NOT DOWNLOAD it. Christ, you people are such control freaks, "make it this way, texture it this way, don't make another one of those 'cuz I like the one I have." This is why I stopped working on addons for the public, I make what I want to play with, Selfish? probably, but there's a lot of that around, ain't there?

If you would rather have planes of BAS quality, wait for BAS to make them <see ya in about 10 years> If you would rather have planes in a rather nice quality, AND copius amounts, Let FM work. I personally need an F4-E that flies, not one that I can count rivets on, if I want to get that F'ing involved in the plane, I'll go to an airshow.

What? you mean like your team's less than cordial treatment of people trying to make addons based on yours? Before casting stones, put on a helmet, while you guys do excellent work, I think you need a community relations specialist to handle that aspect. <and of course some foks complain about your addons, it's the internet, you were expecting flowers?>

In a word, BEEYOOT

FYI El tigre, Tigersharks are also found on the Eastern seaboard of the US. <caught a 10 footer Monday> Situation? what situation? the guys depending on God to fight the battle, gimme a break :P
