I have the same problem as Messiah

First of all I'd like to say that it won't be my first priority. Making a TRIAD defence system (Patriot, HAWK, Stinger) in the Dutch versions is what I wanted to do at first. You should understand that I do not mod for the community, I do it for myself and the community can either take or leave my addons that's up to them. I'd just like to share our work with you guys. Secondy, I don't think you'll have to worry about it. Although it's not only up to me as I'm (gladly) not the only one who's working on this addon pack, I'm fairly sure there will be versions for more nationalities. Besides that, Lowlands warrior released a set of non-nationalized soldier models before.. so I don't see why we couldn't do the same with our addon. To repeat myself a bit.. it's not all up to me but I think it's possible.

well, I'm not sure if we'll do that because I really want to release this one under the lowlandswarrior name and besides that, the models themselves are already country specific.

the airdefence pack will be an addon on it's own. probably released under the lowlandswarrior name. I know the operating procedures of the stinger. But besides the fact that BIS used a training model for reference, the stinger is a highly accurate weapon. Something I can't find back in OFP. The system works a bit like the real sidewinder missile. a tone will be heard. The closer the target gets, the higher the pitch of the tone. When close enough it's pretty much fire and forget.. there's such a small chance the missile misses as it's for close range only (not more than 6km). It would also require a new animation as the missile is usualy shot from the shoulder of a standing soldier. no kneeling. I know it involves more but the rest isn't something the OFP engine could handle.

Thanks to colonel Klink, we'll soon have a HAWK system to add to our airdefence pack. The model is curently being retextured and edited by DaSquade. I'd really like to have a realistic stinger for the pack too. I don't think making the model is very hard, however, the real stinger is not a point and fire weapon like in OFP. it has quite an advanced system. Any ideas?

old model: new model:

I'd love to but in this case the older version is just the version dasquade and I were working on before we decided to replace the model. so the older version is like 3 weeks old and is un-finished.

the old version was never released.

*First of all I want to make clear the addon is not made by EEC* I got the old patriot model ingame myself so there must be someone else working on one too. I'd also like to say that we're working on a HAWK missile platform too, to accompany the patriot and watch his back. This was the old patriot model: This will become the new one soon: Both systems will need radar units in order to work. As it looks like right now the scripting is in the good hands of Matthijs of the lowlands warrior team and CoC. oh and yeah I'd like to keep it under the dutch flag for now as it was the main idea back when I was working on the old model. I've had enough of the fact that only the big nations are represented in OFP. In real life multiple nations fight a war together. That's what NATO is for anyways. when it comes to airpower and airdefence, NATO often calls upon The Netherlands.

sorry, off topic... but Tigershark, DeadMeat, do you guys actually check your PM's or not? I've sent one to both of you. Also an E-mail to tigershark... no reply. I think I can help you guys with your bandwidth problem.

quite the opposite but that doesn't matter. I got way to busy with work and all, kind of forgot all about the patriot till I read this post again. I also have to admit that when it comes to O2 I can get objects into OFP like static objects but I never really looked into OFP weapon systems and coding. I'm more of a maya guy  If there are any skilled peeps out there who would like to help out on it.. mail me on Daan AT hollowpointgames DOT com

if that's the one then it's mine ;) My patriot

I think you should read it all again buddy. all versions in use by the RNLMC includes the C7/C7FT.

Triad, tripple air defence. Â a unit of guided weapon systems often consisting out of a patriot unit, two HAWK units and a stinger unit. The patriot (unlike what many people think) can not just turn around and cover 360 degrees of airspace. Â it will be aimed in a pre-planned position. it has 4 missiles, one for every type of target, aircraft, missiles, and so on and has a range of 60 kilometers. the HAWK system can turn around 360 degrees, covering the patriot system's back if needed. and ofcourse, the stingers are there for close range incoming aircraft. HAWK: NIKE:

Hey leone... that looks like a NIKE (could be wrong..) but hey, with that missile system, our patriot and the BIS stinger, you could set up a pretty nice TRIAD defence system :P Now, who's going to make a HAWK system? ;)
