Yes BAS dropped the USMC Choppers due to their huge work load, but don't be to sad about it. the USMC Mod team is working hard to fill the gap.

Shameless Plug

No. Â It's been tried before and never worked. Actually it is possible (sorry to steal your thunder). I don't know how to do it myself, but I am beta testing an addon that uses such a script for it's light.

yes it is english but some airlines use a mixer of english and the native language of their home country. Like Air Japan (Air Nippon) it's not in congie but it is spelled they way japanese people pronouce it.

Amen! All I do is fly in OFP...mostly helicopters, but with jets, I like the feeling of hauling ass over the enemy and dropping some cluster bombs or napam and heading back to base. When ever I get a chance in a game to fly helo's or planes I choose that over the ground warfare...I am a big supporter of good close airsupport and I couldn't half as good as I do with out my thrustmaster joystick. Makes it real easy to fly at 20 feet off the deck going 140 knots in a blackhawk for a troop insertion....... Wow went all Marine Corps on this post...sorry guys...love my job WAY to much..

The paint scheme in the picture is aggressor. That is the same paint scheme the USMC uses on their F-5's in Yuma AZ for their Weapons and Tactics Instruction School for our USMC Aircraft. They have a squadron of 12 f-5's out there...really sweet jet.

Coalescent sell their models to government gencies. As agencies consist of people, they too have access to the freely available stuff on the internet. Coalescent is probably unhappy about the idea of agencies not buying their model packs, but downloading want they need from the internet. Actually there is no freely available stuff on the net...VBS1 doesn't have a playerbase like OFP does. With OFP you have millions of players who are always looking for ways to improve the game and with VBS it's just those government agencies. Thats why the VBS1 system might not last long within the USMC simulator line up. It's just like any game...if you don't have good support it will never go anywhere....take WWII Online for example...great game but poor support so it did not grow like it should have.

Not to mention the AV-8B Harrier *sigh* I hate to burst your bubble bro but the VBS1 AV-8B sucks... Col. Klinks Harrier is 100% better. I've flown both and the sea Harrier by far beats the VBS1 Harrier hands down. No they are not compatible...I wish they were then it would be much easier to make missions for VBS1. VBS1 lacks a lot of weapons, vehicles, ect. to make it as realistic as possible for training purposes. My friend is the VBS1 director here on Marine Corps Base Hawaii and he is constantly asking me if I know how to adapt OFP files to VBS1, but I don't so it kinda sucks for me...If anyone out there does know then please let me know so I can help him out.

Well I know it can be done because the VBS1 CH53 has folding main rotor blades, but they use a static version only. Haven't seen a flyable helicopter that uses the folding main rotor blades.

Haven't posted in awhile so I decided to  drop off a few photos  http://www.dragon-horde.com/images/screenshots/pic003.jpg Oncew I come back from my two month deployment I'll have more Â

As far as I know the USMC is adopting the Urban Cammies. I saw some Recon Marines a few days ago wearing the MARPAT Urban Cammies during a training ex at our gas chamber here on base

Actually Major fubar there are plans for a campaign but also plans for an online mulitplayer campaign...I can't go into much more detail then this but I'm am confident the Hardcore OFP players will like it. It will hopefully bring out a more realistic form of gameplay to the OFP community. Right now I am getting ready to recruit mission designers to help create this massive project. If anyone is interested then please email me at [email protected] or if you have MSN, IM me at [email protected] (do not email me there I don't answer those emails.

Just a few updates.... The AAVP7 is close to being finished...the only thing holding it back is the Textures. Waffendennis is about 90% complete with our Mods Island of Oahu. Scorpio is still working on the CH53E, slowly but diligently. ================== The USMC Mod is looking for some more help. We are in need for scripters texturer's and 3D modelers. If you would like to help please email me at [email protected] ==================

Ok there really is no major difference except what type model that is made...the version the TOW made is the same model that the USMC Mod is makeing, just NZXShadows is adding armor plating and I believe that he will be able to do a more detailed job with it's design. This is why I didn't pull the project when the TOW came out with their's. TOW did an excellent job, but I think we can make ours better ( no offence if I'm bias LOL) Also here are some pics of the real deal. AAVP7A1 "Personnel Carrier" (What we are making) AAVR7A1 "Recovery Vehicle" AAVC7A1 "Command Vehicle" As you can see there are three models of the AAV. The USMC Mod is making the Personnel Carrier Model.

Yes we are cooperating with Suchey and Earl. His Marines, when finished will be apart of the USMC Mod. Suchey was kind enough to let us use them once they are finished.

Just bumping the post up. The USMC Mod is in dire need of good texturers We are also in need of some scripters and 3D modelers. If you would like to help please email me at [email protected]

Why did you move this Hellfish. It's an addon with missions.

I'm not sure what waffendennis said (it was edited before I read it) but I apologize for the USMC Mod team if it has caused any trouble. I'm sure waffendennis meant no harm. I will talk to him about this. Again, Tigershark, thanks for the heads up with the AH1W and you will be proud of the work we will be doing with it. I am hoping to make this a cross Mod effort and have seen some great feedback from them on this. I assure everyone that the AH1W that the USMC Mod team is building, with the help of Quakergamer and possible TOW Mod will exceed everyones expectations.

Well with much gratitude I thank the BAS team and Tigershark for this great news. I recieved the files today and the USMC Mod team will be finishing the Super Cobra. Once BAS releases the UH1N we will make a go for that as well. As some of the community already knows we have been working with Rothy from the TOW Mod and their Project leader has offered to help with the USMC Mod, since we are working on a lot of the same things. I have also talked to Quakergamer and we may be working together on the AH1W as well for a joint effort for both of our Mods. We still have some more to talk about on this, but YES the BAS AH1W will be finished. Tigershark will be overlooking the betas before release to help us out and make sure we didn't miss anything as well. This Super Cobra will be just as good as everyone is hoping for.

sorry bro I was thinking of some quakers oatmeal when I wrote this and that came up for some reason...lol thats my A.D.D. kickin' in again

Hey bro check this thread out and you will have your answer USMC Mod / BAS AH1W Super Cobra I hope this answers any and all questions on the AH1W questions and possibly the UH1N.

Nope... http://home.comcast.net/~hudsontpf/junk/images/nope.jpg You guys should really track down the source before making assumptions like you are. It dosent look good for BAS when you start accusing them of this. Maybe you have had the virus for longer than you think, maybe you just learned of the virus and are assuming you had to have just been infected recently. I can assure you all the files I have downloaded off the BAS site are clean of the blaster worm. I just reinstalled my OS saturday after being hit rather hard by the worm, I have AV software and I didnt even know I had it till the newest DAT update and theres no telling how long it was there. I personally have been having RCP crashes and random restarts since last tuesday and thats alot longer than BAS has had these files up for download. Â On another note. I NEED MORE JAM MISSIONS!!!! The fire-fights are unbelievable, MORE! MORE! MORE! Sorry, I should have posted that in clearer language, I wasn't blaming the worm on OFPEC or BAS, but just providing SelectThis with more info on the timeline and circumstances for when I first noticed the worm. Â I didn't mean to imply that there was a definite connection, only that it might be a possibility worth looking into. Â Did anyone else have this worm announce its presence in the past day or so like Tankieboy and me? I'm right there with you bro...I got the same worm from a downloaded addon file...I'm not sure which one it was though because I found it to late. From now on I'm not downloading any addons unless I know of the addon makers history first.

NZXShadows has started on the LAV and is currently at 4%. Here is a nice screenshot. NZXShadows is also 10% on the AAV project as well. Great work so far. Scorpio is at 90% on the CH53E Super Stallion beta updates. He is just has some small texure fixes, I believe, and a demo mission to finish. Waffendennis is at 5% on the island of Oahu. Colonel Klink is around 50% done on the AV-8B. If the Sea Harrier that was done for the Falklands mod is any indication of what is to come then I can't wait for this to be released. Top Secret: Myself and Rothy are working on a top secret project. I've dubbed this project "Operation Forward Front" Just to wet your whistle here are a few details. Realistic MP battle system that is a war game. No respawn for players or vehicles. Nothing but real battle and the winner gets bragging rights! If you want to request the security clearence needed to help on this project email me at [email protected]

HE HE HE I was just going to say that
