After an hour long discussion with dynamo on ICQ, I am sad to say that he still thinks the OFP addon community is a joke. He wont be commenting here on the remarks he made in the fraghaus forums. I am sure you clearly understand why not. If you would like to keep up with this F14 addon you will have to watch the many threads at the frag haus forums for any update info. You might have to look at every thread that has anything to do with an addon though. The only updates he makes are when he flashes one of his 3 rendered pics of the F14 and starts trash talking someone elses hard work.... </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> [23:57] Hit_Sqd_Dynamo: i dont treat others like crap.. i just tell them what i think about their addons and how they should research what they r making befor they make some thing that looks like that harraier....... [001] Hit_Sqd_Dynamo: listen this is ridiculous... Â all i was trying to say is that you guys could have put a little more effort in the research you did on your models....if you can't handle constructive crticisms about things you post in public places such as forums than do yourself and everyone else a favour and just don't do it anymore...otherwise you should have a bunch of table salt near you always just incase you have pple tell you what they think...<span id='postcolor'> O by the way, in our ICQ conversation he kept referring to this trash talking as "constructive criticisms". And he thinks this "constructive criticisms" is best spoken behind the backs of those he sets out to help. So if your planning on making an addon in the future make sure you stop by frag haus so dynamo can give you his 14 year old expert advice on what he can read off some webpage. He is a endless fountain of knowledge on every aircaft ever produced. I personaly find it very sad that anyone could go and say, or even think such things about anyone that puts their time and effort into making an addon for the communitys benefit. Where exactly would we be without these guys? Stuck playing OFP with the same old toys. The addon makers deserve a little respect dynamo, not alot of your "constructive crticisms". I personally will have nothing to do with helping you one bit if you come here asking for help someday. And from the looks of things your gonna need alot of help. Â I wouldnt blame anyone else for feeling the same way.

The chaff system dosent allways work. Its about 80% effective and alot of the time when it does work you take splash damage. It actually works out to be a rather effictive but not overly effective addition to the plane. Only bad thing about it I see is that it dosent work for shots incoming from the sides or front of the plane.

This has nothing to do with MP server popularity. It has to do with Dynamo thinking he is so much better than the entire OFP community and talking trash about them. Sorry, I have alot of respect for the guys that make addons and when its brought to my attention that things are being said by people like dynamo and freakybird I do get real emotional. Dynamo and freakybird havent the slightest clue what is involved in making an addon yet they want say everyone that makes them suck? Whats with that? Yes I feel like bashing but unfortunatly your admins over there at frag wont authorize my posting rights. Hmm wonder why, we scared that people might stick up for themselves? And please let Dynamo and freakybird know about this thread. We want an update, or is this F14 allready dead?

scuse mi fer bein a rednek!

Wonder, dig deeper in those forums. It real funny how all those fraggies trash talk everyone, they think they are gods at everything . They feel they can do this because posting rights to those forums are handed out by admins, the trashtalk-ie never gets a chance to defend themselves (and if they do posts are edited). Thus they get big egos in there and forget that one day someone will notice  I really like how Dynamo trash talks the addon community though and thinks hes such hot stuff, funny reading. Nice model but a waste of time cause we all know that it wont make it into O2 like that more funny stuff...

All these morons in the OFP community don't give a shit about model quality. Everyone seems so excited that its a harrier, but you have to realize that part of it has to be accuracy of the model, accurate as hell, and these guys don't understand it. Its obvious they haven't spent a lot of time on it. Disgusting, thats all I can say. Also Dynamo, go suggest to the creators about the F-18. Give them your input, what you think about it. This is only the beta, so we will see what they do with it when the full version is released.<span id='postcolor'> Well freakybird, why cant you tell me these things? your obviuosly an expert on everything. If your to embaressed to reply here Im on ICQ/MSN/AOL/Yahoo almost all day long. email at hudson@radishville.com Ill be glad to discuss any suggestions you may have seeing as how you are better than the entire OFP community.

Dynamo your humble pie is coming, o2 flavored,  bitter stuff so get ready. Now I could go on and on with all the other stuff in their forums there at frag haus but I think my point has been made. These guys have been talking some serious crap and they know nothing about what they are talking about. I wonder if the other brainless monkeys there actually believe all that crap

I sure would like an update on this addon, I guess the maker is too busy trashing everyone elses work (Mr.Dynamo)... Here is dynamo trash talking the A6 Intruder ...And trash talking Col. Klinks Harrier... ...And trash talking alot of people including myself.... Now I just want to know dynamo, when is your addon going to be finished or for that matter even make it out of 3ds max and into O2? From the way you talk in the last post you obvoiusly havnt open o2 before....Need help setting it up? Just give us an update plz...

Thanks for the idea Tigershark, sounds good. Ill throw that on the list :-)

Thanks guys, and I didnt pay Hurricane (that much) to say that BlueFlight, Im actually searching for sounds right now ....

that will be done. Im also changing the grey textures to look like one of these... Except Im going to switch the planes logos on the tails and fuel tank with giant "clan" selections in O2, so in MP games your squad.xml info will be displayed instead of the planes logos

That is if you guys ever stop coming up with new additions for the plane

The chaff model is just 48 points and 24 faces, you could launch off a couple hundred (almost 4 planes worth) before it equaled as much lag as 1 of the hornets. Shouldnt be to bad system wise.

Wonder how does this look, heres what i have, in O2... and ingame...

And where exactly does the chaff come out? All I can find says its located on the lower surface. Wonder?

Hows this...

So the arrester hook swings from front to back? ok. Changing it.

Do we want the tailhook to be user controlled or on the gear event handler?

Sweet, thanks!

The origional download link was removed because everyone sucked up our bandwidth. I sent emails to opflashpoint.org and ofp.gamezone.cz to see if they could host it but no reply yet. Im not sure if anyone has it up for download right now or not

I am wondering why my drop tank is still the darker grey hmm....

The chaff idea is excellent. Ill work on it.

Wonder, I must have missed that. Sure I can use either a "getin" or "engine" eventhandler on the canopy script. And I will send an email to colorchanger about the flares
