The animated bowplane is for use in the water. We haven't noticed the flashing texture bug so it will be fixed in version 2. About the bowplane animation... this is a problem with lots of addons, but we will see what we can do. Before anyone starts asking about why we didn't add animated cargo door, new exterior textures... etc. etc. here is a list of version 2.0: - bugs found in version 1.1 will be fixed - animated cargo door and more - new exterior textures - both woodland and desert versions - Tags will be added Lots of people asked for the tags and our goal was to add them in this version. Renaming and retexturing the model is a lot of work, so we decided to release it now and not in a few weeks. Its not really important now since there are no other AAV7's out there, but it will be added in version 2.0. Let us know if someone found more bugs or if someone has suggestions for version 2.0. Thanks.

Hey people, We worked for months and months on it and now its ready for release. Check our website for more info. Tales of War It may contain a few small bugs, but most of you won't notice them. ( as I said, some really, really small bugs.. ) It should work perfect. Hope you are all happy with it. Â

We are still learning... everytime we think we have 1.1 done we find something new which we add then we find something again which we add etc. etc. Remember we only had experience with soldiers and weapons before ( although we also made some other addons ) so lots of this is new to us. I really think that when version 1.1 is released that its a great addon. Oh and something which I haven't putted on the website is that its getting new textures on some places aswell.

Update on the Tales of War website. 4 new pictures.. hope you like it.

lol... this looks like a copy of the ofp.info comments. Don't forget we were already working on Littlebirds long before any other mod. And now the time has come to release it soon.

Me 2.... no one asked me about that. So I have exclusive rights? As far as im concerned everyone can post it.

Yes, its a bit longer. We found a new bug in version 1.1, you can look through the interior to the outside near the commander position, so after that is fixed its ready for release.

A real AAV7 does not attack armor like tanks, so that is why they dont attack tanks ingame. Â They do attack jeeps, trucks and infantry. Anyway, I got some info on version 1.1. It will feature: - some small bugs fixed - armor value fixed - extended wheelbase - cargo holds 24 marines now As you can see version 1.1 has more changes then we were planning to do, but hey.. you guys asked for this. Â Only things left to do is binarizing, making a new readme and adding the demo mission. So with a bit of luck you can download it tonight on our site. Â

Hehe, no problem guys. We are working on "version 1.1" right now, so with a bit of luck it should be ready by tomorrow. Has anyone noticed any bugs that needs to be fixed? Our beta testers found a few small texture problems, but if some of you found some more then please let me know.

It will be a bit longer so more marines/soldiers will fit in its cargo. Anyway, version 1.1 will be release shortly. It will contain: - some small bug fixes - some .cpp changes ( like the armor value ) - Ofpec tag compatible - a AAV7 mission - and a few other things We hope to release it this week. ( Thursday or Friday )

Ok, good to see there are no major bugs. You guys got a point on the armor level. We will see what we can do about that. The next version of the AAV7 will contain this: 1.) Extended wheelbase. 2.) Able to hold 25 marines. 3.) More detailed interior. 4.) Animated cargo ramp, water jets, and front water deflector. 5.) Desert and woodland camo versions. 6.) Bugs left will be fixed No release date set yet, but it shouldn't take months like this version.

The next version will include open/close ramp option. As for the sound, it works fine for me and the others from TOW. Are you sure it only happens with the AAV7 and not with other addons?

Nice to hear the first reply's are positive. OFPEC tag compatible... will be done in version 2. Fortress OFP, isn't that from GFX707? Then it should be the same.

No sorry, the new marines are still under construction. Its gonna be a huge pack with both woodland marines and the new MARPAT marines. The woodland marines models are ready and are being textured now. The MARPAT marines still takes some time.

Don't worry, I know the AAV7 looks dark on the pictures, but its lighter ingame. Its Microsoft Photo Editor who makes it look so dark. Oh, and some info that is not on our website, there is also a new interior.

Dont think so, but ok... its not important. We know it are car-15's and TOW will continue to make them. We found the info on several sites including the US coastguard site, Black Hawk Down site and Novalogic site. That's enough information to believe they are true.

Well I took the picture from that Israelian site... don't know what they say about m16's... but take a look at this weapon: Its from the upcoming game from Novalogic, Delta Force: Black Hawk Down: Its the model 653... a.k.a. Car15. Or are you saying Novalogic is wrong here too. Hehe, just kidding.. but take a look at the Black Hawk Down movie... the delta's are using the 653 there.

Yes, thats also a car-15. The Vietnam version ( the one you showed ) has a 10 inch barrel... since that one had a few problems, Colt introduced in the 1970's a new car-15.. ( model 653 ) with a 14.5 inch barrel and several other changes.

Over at our site we have released the Rangers pack. Have fun! Tales of War website

We know the M4 sopmod textures are cheap. We know there are texture bugs. We know a lot. but this wont be sorted for some time yet.. Maybe sort the m4 sopmod by releasing a new one but the other things will not be done anything with yet. The only texture bug ive found is that when you shoot some of the men there are no blood textures. But as i said: this one is on the shelf for some time... If you want *better* ones   download BAS' lolipop-looking rangers wich will be released soon... No offence, bas, but from the screens ive seen they look like their taken out of some candybox.. looks completely like sweetpops or something  Jahve out<span id='postcolor'> I dont know if you guys are blind or what but to me that looks like a direct attack on BAS' work BEFORE anyone from that team even posted here.  As far as I can tell Evis was just defending BAS' work, although he might have gone a little overboard doing it. But anyways this whole discussion is stupid so in an effort to get it back on topic: your Rangers are a very promising beta, but they need some work.  I would also have to say that they look a little too similar to your very excellent Marines.<span id='postcolor'> I agree... Jahve should have posted an apology because like you I noticed that the thread was humming along nicely until Jahve made that inflammatory remark.  I respect both the TOW and BAS mods so I'm pretty neautral.  The other members of the BAS team on this thread have gone out of their way to post apologies and all that but it's a shame that Jahve didn't post an apology of some sort as well.  In fact nobody on the TOW team posted any type of apology.  Instead another TOW team member jumped in dragging other past quarrels with BAS "individuals" to defend Jahve's behavior.  I wish Frandsen would jump in and make an apology on behalf of TOW as I don't think he would be too happy if he saw that thread where some of his teams members are disgracing their team's hard work by attacking other mods and on a thread about their own addons no less.  I'm just glad that at least most of the BAS members are acting as mature adults... I hope to see TOW eventually do that as well.  But until then, I hope they keep working on these addons as they look good but still need a bit more work.  Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD><span id='postcolor'> I agree with most of that... Jahve shouldn't have called the BAS Rangers/Delta's lollipops. I can't "control" the entire TOW crew, so what he said was personal.. not as a TOW member. With "another member jumped in" your probably talking about me. I haven't defended Jahve for saying that lollipop thing. As far as I see it i haven't said anything wrong.. Im just defending the weeks of work we spent on the Rangers, which doesnt seems to be appreciated by some persons. Thats ok, but then dont insult TOW or me. ( on this forums, opflash forums and on IRC ) Thats the way I see it. For the persons that insulted each other ( from both TOW and BAS ), apologizing would be a good option here. This topic started as some feedback on our work... thats ok... but it ended in a insulting flame war.

You can try to install our marines pack aswell... there is a good chance it will work then.

As i said earlier, the flaming neednt have happened, none of the bas members were posting on this thread until jahves comment, and the TOW members went onto a BAS news thread and took an innocent (true) comment and started flame baiting, i shouldnt have replied and started arguing, but i was angry at them for degrading our addons and posting pointless comments.<span id='postcolor'> Hehe.. it seems Evis cant stop talking about this.

Thats said nice Skaven. Sure you guys make good addons too... i've used the littlebirds in several missions that I made. I have never ever said any bad things about your addons, but Evis does about our addons. So I guess your right and Evis personally hates me and TOW or BAS has nothing to do with it. So Evis... if you "hate me" then contact me with email or on IRC, you know where to find me, and explain why your so pissed off.

Hate campaign? Ehh... has anyone heard me saying anything bad about BAS? Ahh, im not gonna reply to this anymore... you obviously hate us and want to say bad things about our addons. Well fine... if thats the new way how mod teams work in the dying OFP community. Then the community will only die faster. And thanks for insulting me... it shows again that you have no respect for others at all. Most people like our work ( thanks for all the emails ) so the problem is you.... not our addons. It seems we cant settle this normal. Fine... but very sad. Then stop with insulting me or TOW, but mind with your own business. Book closed.
