I wonder if there is someway to make models for Flashpoint as it is for MSFlight simulator. The game is so good that the only thing it needs is new vehicles, and for us who like to model would be great fun aswell. Maybe bohemia could check the quality of the models and then and only then add them trough the website as a free vehicle addon. The only thing we would need is some kind of instructions and tips as number of polys, texture size and format. What kind of hierarchy for objects....Whatever they need.

It's an MK2 Blackdog, It's looking really good. I think it's really cool the open window. If you want, you could open the top and sit the comander ( gunner) The geometry is already there. You could also give the guy outside a binocular view and pose. Just sugestions...do what you think is good. You are doing a great job. but Could you keep a bit more in touch?... Cheers

Hi... I managed to put the Ferret in game but... The bloody turret doesn´t moves...I don´t understand why because the shadow of the turret does I would be grateful if some one would like to help me export the model because it´s probably something stupid I´m missing. Everything it´s suposed to be named and have it´s axis so... any way here are the screenshots... http://www.appc70.dsl.pipex.com/Ferret/ingame/1.jpg http://www.appc70.dsl.pipex.com/Ferret/ingame/2.jpg http://www.appc70.dsl.pipex.com/Ferret/ingame/3.jpg http://www.appc70.dsl.pipex.com/Ferret/ingame/4.jpg Cheers

BTW...what is the best final total size ( amount) for textures?... I have about 6 textures 4 of them are 1024 square as I have used them to work but I don't think that will be the best final size, so..... And that's for one cammo patern only....And there are 4 of them...

Well...the model is now in SWIFT88 hands. He is exporting it for me so...the hot potato is in his hands now...Bwahaha Well....should be out soon I guess.

Ok .....I'm sorry I'm not checking the forum as often as I used to.. I need someone to export the Ferret. you know trough O2 naming things and so. I have 2 more things to do with the gunner turret and that's it. If anyone who has exported some models wants the 3ds and the textures let me know and I'll send them to you in 2 days time.

Ok that´s it I´m back from holidays and I have gave me a release date. 2 weeks from today and the Ferret will be released. In Beta or Finished but released. ...probably finished Sorry for being so lazy

Sorry for being out of this forum and not updating the ferret.. I have fixed the turret, I have finished the interior model and i´m just with the textures... It will be released....i´m just a bit busy with other stuff... ...maybe for OPF2?....I´m only joking... I´ll find some screens of the interior and post them

Hi....I know I said is bad to do two Addons at the same time but I couldn't resist doing some work at home. ( I do the ferret in my brake time at my work place) So I have been modeling this nice almost harmless helicopter ( i still don't know if I will put him a door machine gun) I will have to unwrapp it before start texturing it...but i'm planing to make both a British Wessex and an American S-58 with it as both are almost the same....so you can use it either in Vietnam or in the Falklands. The S-58....I think should have a machine gun.

I think that what it makes Flashpoint the best Helo sim ever is not the physics of the choppers, it's the feeling of flying it in an almost real island. You have the feeling of being there, not playing a game...

Don't know how to animate the door...I just do models...

All I can show now is the mocap shadow textured model. before I add colours to it. It needs some cleaning in the edges though... around 3500 polys...

Hi... Sorry for not replying...I have been very busy....but...I haven´t stoped... The Ferret interior is coming good...The Wessex is Ready to be textured....I have made the mapping and I have a texture page with the wireframe so I can paint straight away... I have some texture space in that page for future extra details like the steps in the wheels, some aerials and whatever else

How should I config a wheeled turreted vehicle?... Is there any list of named parts? or so...I know nothing yet about naming pieces Cheers

What I think this means is: You start your game and load a Dinamic Campaing that you saved... The war is in a certain status, the front is somewhere and you could fancy being a infantry man today... You select infantry man... Then choose all possible misions that infantry platoons are asigned to...then you get into one of their members and do the mission. Maybe you just fancy be a pilot with no war related missions and you could select pilot and then transport missions... I don´t know.... I have hardly played the campaigns because Flashpoint is too open to play something small as a campaign in old style. Campaign right now means a Queu of Missions...this should change A Dinamic Campaign is what flashpoint is asking for. It also needs living people....When you load an island to make your mission in the editor you shouldn´t need to put people... You could place predefined bases...with number and kind of units.... I just can´t wait untill release...no matter what you do with it

I think that tiredness is perfect right now in the game. If you are breathing badly you can´t aim properly... If I´m playing a game and I have to run 10km I might get bored enough to also need to rest..... Leave it as it is.....

Hi. My wheels textures work fine but when in certain position it gets lighted...like auto iluminated.... When driving it happens when the wheels rotate 360 degrees...so always in the same position.... Any Idea why or how to solve this?

Hi. I'm here I keep working on it...but very slowly... I have to make some extra hours at work and is going slow.... The interior is getting quite well... It's alive...Haddock has kicked me to make me finish it. He will get sure I do ;P Sorry for make you wait.....

So you mean you'd support it if it was... "Project: Iraqi Slavery" ? <span id='postcolor'> I don´t buy it mate...the name of the game is OIL...

I dont support this MOD

Just for the record... I'm not in the Falklands MOD....anything I say it's my responsability... I'll just donate them my Westland Wessex when done...

well...I'm actually making the BRITISH Wessex "for the Falklands Mod"....but I understand that if the Malvinas MOD makes something it's because they want to do it.... Probably they don't care about what side people thinks Argentina should be...they put it were they think it should be. And for Argentina England is in the East and Argentina in the center of the World. Argentina in my humble opinion is a member of the west block of the world even when they have that war against england. The same happens now with germany. About the language...They probably do a MOD however they like it and as I said not because most of the people speaks english they have to do it in english too... Sorry to be so controversial but I think that MOD makers deserve more respect for whatever they do. Well if invading other country to save your own failing Goverment is done by bad guys...and bad guys are in the East block....that means that USA is in the East now and so England as USA allied ...so if UK is in the East....Argentina is in the West again.... Next controverse....
