The vehicles themselves seem to roll around just fine and don't bounce too much in my opinion. However it would be nice if you could figure out how to fix the TOW missle to make it guided or get someone to help you fix. There's not way to use the guided missile off the BMP-1 for example and use it on the hummer's TOW missile launcher? That would be very nice...even better if you used the scope view from the BMP-1 as well. As for the MLRS, I can understand why you'd make it a laser guided system. But can you at least do volley fire? Like can you fire a whole bunch of missles rapidly? That would be very cool if you could do that. A supporting vehicle with reloads would be nice as well. That way the reload vehicle could travel with the MLRS with extra rockets when ammo runs out on the MLRS. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

The inside textures should also resemble those of BIS which are taken from the real Humvee. I used to ride in Humvee's all the time and the interior of the BIS humvee is very accurately done. Also look at the slant of the hood on their. Yours is flat while there's is angled a bit. Also the window frames on the BIS humvees look more like the ones on the armored doors of the real thing which have thick bullet-proof glass. I'm not saying you have to make yours exactly like theirs, but BIS did a damn good job with theirs (they even included the radio mount and window wipers) so some comparisons are going to be made. Anyhoo...those are just minor quibbles. Overall I think you did a damn good job. Thanks for letting us play around with the beta.

It sucks to! just look at the pics! SUCKS!<span id='postcolor'> Pics? I only see one pic and you need to learn how to post links correctly...you left a space between "/" and "Huey" in your URL. If that picture is Martin's UH-1 reverting back to it's blackhawk LOD, then what you are experiencing is some issues with your graphics settings. On mine, it does not revert to it's blackhawk form until the UH-1 is like 200 meters away. At that distance it's just barely noticeable most of the time. I believe Martin actually has some tips on adjusting your graphics settings that will help with that problem you are experiencing. But if your computer can't handle any better graphics then there's not much you can do about it except wait until a good Oxygen made UH-1 comes out. But don't fault Martin for any LOD problems with his UH-1. The model is incredible when you take into acount that it is a modified blackhawk and NO vertices were added or subtracted from the model. But I take it that you dont' fully understand the difference between Oxygen produced addons and non-oxygen models. There is simply no way Martin can fix his UH1 without Oxygen. That is probably the best anyone could have done without Oxygen so please don't trash his hard work. Take it for what it is. If you're not willing to adjust your graphics settings a little, then just be patient like the rest of us and wait for the next UH-1 addon. There are several excellent ones on the way.

Martin's UH-1's are so far the best I've seen even though they were made without oxygen. Their main draw backs are that at a distance the LOD's change to that of a blackhawk. But other then that their rotor sounds are amazing, and he's got several great versions including some open on both sides, with a door gun, and a medivac and gunship version (although with only a single minigun). This was an amazing feat of modeling on Martin's part considering that he did them by modifying a blackhawk without adding or deleting any vertices in the model. The BW one also isn't that bad. It needs a door gun and the textures with the big orange markings are a little odd. It also needs a little more work perhaps on the interior texturing but it was just a beta anyways and the final version is supposed to be much better looking.

That would allow choppers flying in one direction to cover both flanks. Has anyone here used GFX707's mortar? *grin* *bigger grin* It's best when used in a VC camp with a .50 (12.7mm =) ) and a mortar, and a few gusy with RPK's. Also, I have to ask the "RPG Guys Shooting at Hueys" question, if I didn't already. Any way to make an RPG that can target air units but is not manuverable? So ground units can shoot at air with rockets and smoke trails, but rarely hit them unless they are mostly static? Those hueys are awfully vulnerable on a standard landing (without setpossing it down or using limited speed/flyinheight waypoints). And seeing smoke trails buzzing around choppers would just be damn cool. Also, as far as I know an RPG doesn't usually take out the chopper in one hit...? =)<span id='postcolor'> The OFP engine only allows for one machine gun or cannon to fire simultaneously. Take for example Cpt. Moore's Little Bird addon. It has two miniguns and while it shows two muzzle flashes when you fire, if you look at the tracers only one gun is firing. That's just a limitation of the game engine. As for getting an RPG guy to fire at a Huey I'm not sure about that, except that on landing all the RPG guys love firing at helicopters on the ground. Also in real life, a single RPG can easily take out a helicopter. Much depends on where it's it, but usually the hole it makes in a helicopter and the resulting shrapnel flying about all over the place is enough to bring it down which is why in Somalia two of the three helicopters hit with a single RPG round were shot down. In Afghanistan a Chinook was hit by an RPG round and had to make an emergency landing (and had a Navy Seal knocked out of the aircraft who was then killed on the ground) but was able to take off again and return to base. Obviously a Chinook is a much larger aircraft with a lot more cargo area where a RPG round hitting it may not damage critical flight controls, oil lines, or fuel lines and fuel cells. But something like a Huey would likely go down fast if hit by an RPG. However I agree, seeing RPG rounds streaking past might be cool. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

Also the AT-4 replaces the LAW rocket so there really isn't a need for the LAW unless it's for the reloadable rockets which of coarse isn't realistic as the real LAW, like the AT-4 is a one shot, non-reloadable rocket, but in OFP that's often very valuable if going up against alot of armor. A SMAW rocket would be nice also. That's similar to the Carl Gustav but is used by the USMC. The SMAW is capable of penetrating the turret armor of a T-72. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

I agree 100%! It really pissed me off that these other sound packs for Resistance that claimed to use Satchel's sounds, didn't include some of the best sounds. For example the sound of the M60 tank in Satchel's pack is the absolute BEST diesel engine tank sound that I've EVER heard for any tank in OFP. Also the sound of the tank shell's making that screaming sound as they fly over your head is just superbly realistic sounding as are all of the explosions and stuff. Only the sounds in the WWII addon packs and the BW MOD come close. I really wish Satchel (or someone else) would convert the whole thing to Resistance. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>
