The longer models take, the better they get usually.

Looks bad-ass, wonder how much will be left when putting it into OFP.

A single MK 20 Rockeye affects an area of roughly 3300 square yards...OFP is for sure not the best software to simulate  these kinds of weapons, as the game is focusing on groundcombat in an pathetic small playing area (from a viewpoint of planes). With enough loadout on weapon pylons it would be almost possible to carpet bomb the whole island from top to bottom . Generally large area weapon systems (as clusterbombs) take out the best parts of OFP, making them obsolete, and replace those with quake style fragfests, ending games within seconds. The unguided rockets we have are already more than enough to wipe out a whole company at a snap, is that not sufficent?

Yepp, i have Zwadars addons already, they are really nice, hope releases some more objects. About the bed, would be cool if you could lay an soldier or civy on his back (no, not with a bullet).

Nice, seems soundeffects had also undergo certain changes, the AK sound is a different from the original. The village the bus is driving through at the beginning of the clip looks quite extensive. Sky and special effects (explosions) textures however seem unchanged, guess you can´t have everything... nevertheless looking really good. Hope they release some further clips or screenshots.

Can´t even download it, seems to be alot of traffic... going to try it later.

About the viewdistance option; how is it handled in multiplayer, i.e. will it be a Server or client side setting?

I don´t believe him, simply because of the reason of his statement on the site "i build them all from scratch" ..."i worked so hard"...yaddah yaddah. Where are the credits for their real  authors in this thread, on his site... they are nowhere mentioned, he tried to make everyone believe that he did them completely by himself. If noone would have gotten suspicious about the models, he for sure wouldn´t have said anything. Also what did he change, i see no difference to the originals.

Hehe, yeah. Very nice work Eviscerator, you are getting better and better, keep it up!

If someone uses premade models of other people, i see no problems as long as there is permission of the original author to use these models and credits are given for those people that did the models. Landwarrior did not only "steal" other peoples work boasting it would be his to feed his ego or whatever, he tried to use it in an attempt to fool BIS into delivering Oxygen to him. Now i do not see the logic in this action; what would someone, that has no 3D modelling experience nor talent or potential do with Oxygen, of what use would that be to people like Landwarrior? The only thing that comes in mind is he could be warez´ing it. We should really do a "Hall of shame" for people like Landwarrior, people that take others hard work declaring it for their own.

just had a closer look at your site: http://www.operationflashpointcommand.com/ How come the rather strange diversity and quality difference in "your" models, looks rather like they have been assembled from many sources, models by different authors. I could be wrong, but personally i think you showcase and credit yourself with other peoples work in an sleazy attempt to receive oxygen.

Did you actually do these planes by yourself, or are they taken from another source, like from the FS community. Almost all models look very familiar to me, as i have them all in my FS2002 A/C folder. The Airwolf is also available for FS2000/FS2002, i´m really looking forward to how your model looks like in comparison, if you do everything by yourself.

I´d like to see a lean left/right option too in OFP, and requested it a couple of times in the past, but my guess is that it won´t be implemented. What gives, i´ll wait for Raven Shield, it not only has a lean right/left command- in addition you can alter the speed at which a peek is conducted, and vary the height at which it is done..making it more realistic, and unpredictable for your foes in which position you will show up next...nice .

Yepp, Gunship! was good in this regard.

I have my CH-F16 Combatstick a couple of years now, and it still works like on the first day i plugged it into my comp. Looks and feels like an actual Fighterstick, no fictional Space invaders design. Throttle wheel, 6 buttons, 2 coolie hats. The best joystick around is the Cougar from Thrustmasters currently.

According to the GOARMY site, U.S. soldiers have standard individual soldier intercoms (nowadays that is, not 1985), with limited range of up to 700m. This is meant for intra-squad communication, and basically it´s a good thing, as it has a greater range than shouting and enables one to transmit information more detailed than it would be possible via handsignals, if stealth is required, also the line of sight that is needed for handsignals doesn´t play a role anymore. Everyone that wandered through a thick and dark forest can imagine how difficult it is to always have visual contact to your groupmembers, especially if searching for cover/consealment, crouching or lying prone in dangerous situations, at night it´s almost impossible to use handsignals. But as said this transmitter receiver headset is only for com within a squad, if you need longer range to transmit i.e. recon reports etc, you need an VHF/Satcom/HF specialist that carries an according radio (no walkie-talkie ) within your group.

Options>Difficulty>Rifle Bullet Tracers = disable. A while ago i tried to change the tracer texture, making them more look like actual tracers, not a chance. The tracer texture seems to be 8x8 pixel in size with alpha channel and gets it´s color via the config.cpp (mono, can only be single color i guess). Additionally the tracer texture is used for map gridlines, lines in the Flashpoint gaming gui like the welcome screen and so on. Means if you intend to mod the tracer you will also unintentionally change the appearance of the map and gaming gui, bad, especially as i don´t know how custom tracers should work as an addon, i.e. if it´s possible at all. Resource effective programming is not a bad thing, but hell, you can always exaggerate with it . How about giving us a dedicated tracer texture, that is not shared and connected with a dozen other flashpoint functions. Instead of giving the tracer a single color throughout via the config.bin, a real colored texture of greater size would also be most appreciated.

Some constant background ATC/FAC Radio chatter in Helicopters or planes would be nice, as proper startup- shutdown sounds would be i.e. turning keys starting sequences of turbines, engines.

Trance/House/Ambient/Electro like Chicane, Paul van Dyk, Spiller, King O, Paul Oakenfold, John 00 Flemming, RMB, Oceanlab, Tiesto, ATB, Martin Eyerer, Massive Attack, Chemical Brothers....... Alternative/pop/Rock/indie like Alien Ant Farm, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Die Ärzte, Big Country, U2, Sportfreunde Stiller, The Smiths, Heather Nova, Rammstein, Foo Fighters, Rollins band, Queen, Led Zeppelin....

Think of it this way: Kegetys spends several hours at his machine, piecing together a beautiful Merkava tank. Time and effort is put into making it a great model. [RandomName] spends 2 minutes e-mailing this site, getting a Merkava in his mailbox. Then he puts it trough O2 in 10 minutes, and voilá, he's got a Merkava ready to go. He will get an equal amount of respect from the OFP community, with not nearly the same amount of time and effort that Kegetys put's into his model...<span id='postcolor'> I stand by my original statement...<span id='postcolor'> Yes, everyone appreciates homegrown work, i´m sure of that-especially if the modeller is skilled and has a sense for authenticy and detail. But on the other hand i´m not installing addons out of sympathy for their Authors, actually i would leave "homemade" work aside, if an already existing model that has been "recycled" looks and plays better, although as you said, "it´s not fair", but thats how natural selection goes. People just received oxygen, and i´m pretty sure the majority of people that got it have little or just plain basics in modelling experience. As you said it will take time and effort to complete a model if you do it all by yourself from ground up, according slow the mod releases will be.  I see no problems as long as sources and credits are included when using premade 3D objects for a new OFP addon, of course permission of the original model author is required.
