Will Ballistic Studio ever redo the Blackhawk (like was planned before), because the one BIS did was probably one of their first models and it doesn't look all that accurate.

Agreed.

LOL that's a good one...lmfao

Two discs? Never seen 'em. Do they only show up at night or something? Or at a specific time or date?

Redstorm and Fenna, make a new post if you want to recruit for an IL2 clan. Cant get much more offtopic than an IL2 recruitment post in an Operationflashpoint offtopic forum  <span id='postcolor'> Well, I thought there was enough room in this thread, and the talk about IL2 had already started, so I forgured I could just as well make this post here. Making a new one would first: Probably get closed, and second: Would just add another useless thread to the forum, making the forum load longer and making more sensible topics bump a seat backwards. And well, it is the offtopic forum, and we're not doing anyone harm with the post, are we? we just wanted to see if it was worth puttin up a squad like this and if there was any interest. The reason I posted it here and not on the official IL2 forums, is that I know all of you a lot better here and that I hardly post on the official IL2 forums. I'd rather have a few people a know pretty good in my squad than 12 people I've never heard of. To Tex: You don't have to be extremely good at dogfighting anyway. I rather suck at it too and we're planning on flying mainly Stuka's and He111 (Maybe a stray Blenheim or something ) and MSN is freeware, you don't have to pay for it and it's reasonably bug free and (IMHO) much easier to use than ICQ or mIRC. EDIT: I think we'll be the first known bomber squad in the IL2 world...maybe I can get Oleg Maddox to join our squad....I'll go and mail him

We can teach you how to do proper landings and takeoffs and all. But that's just for the "newbies". As long as you can properly fly in a formation it's ok. If not, it's not that hard to do anyway, it's easily taught Again, this is considering you have no skills at all. You may be way better than Fenna and me ofcourse PS. Hi Fenna

Our gallery Too bad it got closed, it had some nice shots in which we flew Pe8's and stuff .That was way back in version 1.00 of IL2 if I remember correct

Me and an (ex-) member of this forum (Fenna, maybe someone remembers him?) are (trying to) set up a new IL2 squad. It'll be a German bomber squad for the upcoming FB upgrade. We will be flying the Ju87B2 "Sturzkämpflugzeug" (Stuka) and the He111H6 medium bomber. We are deperately looking for new pilots (because now it's just Fenna and me.) So, if you're looking for a non-serious clan to just have a bit of ye goodde olde funne with, you can always join us. We'll need atleast one full He111 crew and two Ju87 crews. Oh, the name of our squad will be that of a Stuka squad that really exsisted back then. 4./St.G 2 (Sturzgeschwader 2). Just post here if you want to join. I know it's not the right forum, bu this talk about IL2 reminded me. Fenna and me only started planning about this new squad today, so its just in its "developing" stages. Anyway, let me know if you're interested. We desperately need someone who could make us a site too. Nothing fancy, just a few basic things in it, but we'll discuss that over MSN or something . EDIT: So we'll need at least 9 people. 5 for in the He111 and 2 for each Stuka. And you won't have to do anything special to be/remain in the squad, no mails or something you have to reply to or anything. Just as long as you keep posting in these forums (yes, these, flashpoint1985.com so we can see that your still alive and not got killed in some terrorist attack on your car )

Okay, OFP might not be 100% realistic, but I like my games as close to the real thing as possible, and you'll have to agree OFP comes a LOT closer than Bf1942. And to add to that, I saw they had a Normandy Beach landing map (I saw some highly unrealistic looking LCVP's anyway and beach defenses, it could be the Italy beach landing too, ofcourse). Any rightfully sane man (woman *cough*sorry Avon *cough*) would have to agree that the date that Europe was liberated was June 6th 1944, atleast, that's what I was always taught . And to add to that the planes you can dowload and fly are highly unrealistic. Since when does an American P39 (which are just called Spitfires by the "airplanes enthousiasts" on the official forums) only have two machine guns? If my memory serves me correct, the P39N1 had 6 7.62mm machine guns and one 36mm(?) nose-cannon, the P39Q1 two 12.6mm(?) machine guns, two 7.62mm's in the nose and a 36mm nose-cannon and the P39Q10 two 7.62's and one 36mm (Most info taken from IL2 Sturmovik). Same goes for the Bf109 (what looks like one of the "F" series). I've never seen one with only two light machine guns in the wings. And the tanks are a laugh too. A PanzerVI Tiger with exacly the same specs as an M10 Wolverine? A PanzerIV with exactly the same specs as an M4 Sherman? People killing you with a pistol from miles away? No, I'm sticking with OFP, thank you very much.

You guys have thought about this waaayyy more than BIS (and more than's good for you)

I enjoyed that mission though. Great intro and outro (albeit a bit melodramatic ) too.

What link?

There isn't any point in having a refueler. It's totally inpractical for helicopters and aeroplanes in the OFP world.

Or they could just mean, when you see the flash from a gun it's already too late

Well, I guess it has something to do with the point of no return or something, but I guess BIS was just looking for a nice title and thus named it Operation: Flashpoint. It could also be the name of the Malden Islands operation (eg. the original campaign).

hmm...I used "Nogova map" and "Res map" and even "pdf" but didn't find anythink. Thx denoir :}.

I know that there's been posts about this before, but I can't find a single topic with the search function if my life depended on it, so I'll ask again. Where can I get a full map of Nogova?

I like BIS...BIS rules!

Ok, so I'm making a new island addon (Omaha beach) but how do I make something as small as the raised shingle? I don't think it's possible to do in Wilbur(?). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Agreed.

Great! Thanks a lot for your help! *asked, answered, you can close this one mods!

I'm trying to make sort of a small wall (sand wall) where the soldiers could hide behind.

THe Xa-188 Patria? (or something )

Wow! That must've been the longest sentence I've ever seen! (referring to the original post)
