OK wait, thats not an email from the guy thats the readme from the alpha (from about two months ago), it doesnt look like the maker has given permission for his alpha to be released, one of the alpha testers (The_Captain) has released it...please respect the makers wishes and email the maker before hosting it on your site to make sure...

One of the beta testers had released it a couple of days ago too, there was a thread made, just telling too tall hc wolf is the right guy...

See now thats the author...

This time ill have to go with AirwolfPL, the model is very ugly compared to the real thing, and the textures are just the nam pack UH-1D textures stretched over it... From looking at the F-4 OFPMan can do better, i hope he gives it another try...

BAM:)<span id='postcolor'> http://www.friserverplads.dk/crunchyfrog/config190.cpp if you want to change the AK47 model, replace the p3d name called "AK_47_proxy" -- class AK47: Riffle { scopeWeapon=2; scopeMagazine=2; valueWeapon=0; valueMagazine=1; model="AK_47_proxy"; modelOptics="optika_ak47"; Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â .... -- Its all in the config.cpp if you want to change the models.<span id='postcolor'> thats the way to do it if he doesnt want to play mp, if he does then depbo the data3d.pbo and rename the ak47cs p3d to "AK_47_proxy" and then overwrite the bis model, make sure you keep the ak47cs addon in the addon folder though, so it still has textures

Also the "burst" mode should be removed. As for the model, the magazines on the BIS AK-74s are a bit too crooked.<span id='postcolor'> Also the wood color is a bit off on them. I think the most realistic wood on an AK74 in games/mods was in the Firearms mod for HL. BTW, Shrike (the creator of the original AK47 this port is on) released a new AK47 with a different wood color. http://csnation.counter-strike.net/content/sotd.php?id=2132 Looks terrific to say the least, I'm porting this and the Firearms AK74 and Dragunov as well to OFP. Â <span id='postcolor'> Erm, the wood colour is dependant on the type of wood used, and seeing as the AK-47 is mass produced from various different places different colour woods end up getting used, have a quick look on google and you'll find very many different shades of wood used on AK-47's...

Does this mean that everyone that can make addons is free to bitch at everything thats released?

Thats gonna be a tough question to answer hahaa! <span id='postcolor'> I think they are equally important, although the nam pack already has masses of units/vehicles and an island to play on, so its time to bring the modern era up to that level, the next nam pack update wont actually contain a whole lot of new work from us (SEB), it will most likely add various vehicles from various authors that fit in the with the vietnam theme, so we can concentrate on bugfixing and the few aircraft not being made. But saying that, the main player in making the nam pack complete, cpp'ing it and bringing all the files together (STT), is crazy busy with RL work, and of course that has to come before ofp addon making, he also has a GF, so this guy should be given some kind of medal for being able to do any ofp modding work at all, let alone all the work hes done. And yes Hellfish, that was something i mentioned adding in the last stages before release, but it got a bit hectic, i was also hoping that a pre-armed squad of the soldiers with definable arm patches would be added, and replacing the M21 model in the M14 Aimpoint with the M14 model from the nam pack, there are various different things we want to add, and now we dont have the pressure of the first release im sure we will add them.

edit: aww crap, sorry, i forgot to check those ones, i had made sure the actual screenshots i posted were under the limit, i completely forgot to check the other two... And once or twice in 16 months isnt bad!

They are much more precise than artillery and bombs so they can be used to take out snipers and support infantry during assaults. But back to your original question. Unfortunately you can't make moving turret with missiles that are visible. Missiles that come from tubes like in Tunguska can be made. So making for example Gainful is quite impossible, unless someone makes a script...<span id='postcolor'> Actually, while that was true prior to all the new scripting fan-dangled-ness that was added in 1.85+, you can now simulate the proxy by changing its texture with a script which turns it invisible, so it works just like the proxies for say the hellfires/mavericks atm, it also means we can have multiple missile/bomb type weapons on vehicles, and even the AT-3 back on the BMP-1 turret!

Also as far as i know the stocks and foregrips are interchangable, as you can see from these photos: Foregrip ive modelled with a solid stock. http://www.concept-5.com/ballist....38.JPG A different style foregrip, but still skeleton stock. Also the style it is atm suits the UK Forces and also the ADF mod (if they chose to use it). This wont be the primary model as that will be the M249 SPW which i will retexture shortly. At the minute im busy making an M82A1. Read the forum rules.

indeed thats pretty old, doesnt even have the new engines/rotors/tail rotor
