There is a *serious* chance, that one of the mods will prepare ZSU-57-2, so be patient and quiet :]

Oh my god... They are... Alive...

Well, what I do think is that before the release of the OFP 2 there must be made some... erm... organisation, team, site, whatever... which will be managing "must-have" addon lists.. That everyone should have. Only the best addons of course. :] So... there would be the list... the list, on which only top-quality addon would be put. The idea needs 2 more things to say... 1) Dividement into groups. SEB nam pack is not a must have for someone who loves WWII and another way. So it would be best to keep... erm.. categories like a) time range (or certain war), so that there would be a must-have list for vietnam fans b) nationality range 2) Who will decide if to put the addon on a list or not? I have some simple idea... We know some addonmaking team which produce great addons - BAS, Lavos (Afrika 1942 or whatever... guys keep changing name , and so on. So best would be to choose at the beggining 3-4 mods which would "approve" the addons... or "approve" other mods to help with approving :] That should be done with the help - and best if within - of some big ofp-news site, and has to be done globally, not locally as server's must-have lists... :] Maybe ofp.info, as the biggest and the greatest site would take care of it somehow by enabling some engine? :] That is some idea, I know that there are many probable obstacles in materialising it, but... the effect is worth the work :]

I hope this pack will be used same widely as Kegetys weapon pack, instead of being only "personal-use-toy", what happens to most addons Mission makers do not like to use good addons?

very nice work, damn... Beautifull!!! :] But.. one bug noticed :] In Greece, there rules orthodox church (greek-catolic), not roman-catolic. So... a) the churche's buildings should look different b) the crosses should be.. erm... something like that: -|- --|-- .|' | not like that: | --|-- | | :]

Allright... I know that there will be some counterpost to my post, but.. I know that there will also be some people who ill think same as I think... OFPman... What I think is that... you should put more on quality than quanity. I see that you have... great power in making addons.. but.... All of them are... underdone. The models are simple and textures are... low quality. I know that maybe I am not an addonmaker and I have no right to comment... but... If you would put 3-4x more time on each addon, and release 3-4 times less addons, you will be able to release GREAT addons faster than anybody... But now... you release... not more than beta's... Ie. your OH-1 Ninja... black windows, poor interior, low-quality textures, original and bright, but underworked muzzles Please, slow down and release less, but better addon... Look for Lavos/African Project - they release one addon per a lot of time - but they make all people extremely happy because of quality :] You have equal; - or even more potential as Martin (author of the upcoming Bell 206) - maybe try to share your experiences with him? I hope that you will understand that good intentions stand behind me :]

It kind of limits you if you want to play with these great British soldiers against Russians. This demo is a very nice suprise.<span id='postcolor'> This is not a suprise. Author of this mod is well known in current situation in the world, AND he sees that in Iraq, British soldiers have more cassaulties dealt to them by US troops than Iraqis. SO who knows if british guys will not want to shoot a little bit with "east" british soldiers to Americans? About issues... a) damn .exe.... naaaah... b) trenches... need flat ground... no good flat ground on the map :] c) why cannot I shoot with an MG mounted on this huge pipe? d) Blowpipe has fun up-and-down-and-up-and... trajectory :] which is + e) but unfortunately sometimes it hits the ground far before the target f) these new bushes... 1) a little bit too outstanding 2) the muzzle flash before it makes it transparent But apart from that... (have not played the missions, only editor) Great! :] And... Great bushes on the hills :]

Iha! :] Very nice, altough... In previous versions of the demo, there were some addons that are not avaible in this version (ie. truck, some soldiers)... Second thing... still nothing for the jugoslavians Third... damn exe... and moreover... damn exe does not allow to unpack where you want, it forces you to unpack EXACTLY where you want. Well... for me... my computer == I decide :] Apart from that... Still it is great to rock around the city :]

They managed to get it working on their russian field gun (I'm not sure if they ever released that version).<span id='postcolor'> take a group of 12 people, each crewman. then place 12 empty tanks. then via moveincommander move them in commander positions same complete the crew with the rest of crew (gunner, driver, cargo), these 3 should be grouped. Best would be if the leader will be gunner then you have a group of 12 tanks (because any player behaves in gunnerplace quite as a commander). It works :]

DAMNIT!!!!! Ekhm... Our general has at least 3 names... Two first names, one on website and one in game.......... Second name is common both on website and in game.... No nickname... BUT I've got polish game And polish language there And general's names are spelled IN POLISH!!!!! It is like a HUGE difference between them...... So... I've got: 1x first name1 that I can spell in english 1x first name2 that I cannot spell in english 1x second name (english) 1x surname (whatever) 0x friggin nickname (((((

Nothing helps so much as writing a post... I'VE FOUND IT :]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Now... The name - I know The nickname... I am afraid that it needs to get over the campaign

Damn it... no friggin briefcase man 1 am here.. and no briefcase... no briefcase... no briefcase... no briefcase... briefcase... briefcase... briefcase... briefcase... briefcase... brief.................. But I will sit here And fight... And I will find it Sometime...... Well.... Do you know why some japanese guys died in internet cafes this autumn and winter after spending there 30+ hours without eating etc?.... BECAUSE THERE WERE SEARCHING FOR THE DAMN BRIEFCASE!!! ....

This model - as far as Tysiek said, will have vertical takeoff script, it will be a good answer to your questions.. :]
