Cpt. Frostbite....actually that's not strictly true.....SEAL's often use Pavehawks when they deploy from non Seabased platforms. Also witness the Marines who flew on Pavehawks into Liberia. It mostly depends on availability of aircraft in the theater of operations.

Pavehawks completed and released tomorrow. Here is the readme file. Please use this thread for constructive feedback and bug reporting.

Check BAS site for news

Let me be frank here. Hi I'm Frank....just kidding Let me be honest....we at BAS are well aware that our weapons models are no longer the best around. At the time when the De/Ra were first released they were in a class of their own however, with the release of Earl and Sucheys weapons that came with their Marines (i don't even want to talk about Counterstrike imported weapons) they have set the new std. in weapons and we are aware ours look pretty crappy next to theirs. Having said that....yes..we plan on upgrading all weapons for our units either with modified Earl and Suchey weapons or ones of equivalent quality. There have been improvements to the weapons in the De/Ra pack including the addition of some new types and in texture improvements to the Desert camo weapons. However, the models have not been touched in this release. Sorry if this dissapoints...but for the time being we just couldn't afford the time to modify Earls weapons with all the required bits and pieces needed for Special Operations weapons. (ACOGs, EOTechs, PEQ Units, etc.) It will happen...just not in this release....but then again. This is reason we have a separate BAS_Weap file. When we do get around to it...should be a painless replacement of this file.

Your bad English is the least thing I feel sorry about for you.

Jesus...please read 3 posts up. What does it take to get people TO READ what is posted. We do our best to deciminate information and still people ask about Seals, Land Rovers, MH-53s..... *bangs head on keyboard*

I hope so.....we are working on it. I owed DM some last minute desert weapon textures. Now he has to find some time to apply them. We are trying.

Yes...we will probably release a downloadable video next week demonstrating the new feature(s).

*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** 05 March 2004 Ballistic Addons Studio LITTLEBIRDS UPDATE DELAYED Ballistic Addons Studio (BAS) regrets to announce that the release of its updated LittleBirds addon has been unavoidably delayed until the second week of March. During "BAS Week" the team at BAS has been listening carefully to feedback from the community, and in particular to reports of minor issues with the RusOPFOR release. Although we make every effort to ensure releases are of the highest quality, we do appreciate that many players - particularly those on metered connections - will feel short-changed if an addon contains the sort of errors that we would reasonably expect to catch in testing. The team at BAS asks the community to know that it genuinely wanted to get a substantial number of addons out during "BAS week", and has been working furiously to meet that goal. However, since BAS believes quality is paramount, the team also hopes everyone will understand our decision to delay slightly the release of the updated LittleBirds until those last few errors have been ironed-out. As much as it is within our control, the team wants to spare players having to download an addon twice because it was only 95% ready the first time around! Contrary to other reports, the team would also like to remind players that BAS is an all-volunteer, non-commercial team of addon-makers working for the OFP community in our spare time. As always, we thank you all for your continued support.

Everyone...thanks for your 1) Support. 2) Contructive Feedback 3) Patience And thanks to those who have been trying to defend our work amongst the myriad of news sites and comments threads out there. Thankfully we all have much thicker skins and we actually read some of the idiotic comments with a great deal of amusement.

You won't get one.... Our promise to you was an addon every other day with missions in between. We are on track for releasing one today. Although not maybe "today" in your timezone. As someone said, you will still get 4 addons released this week by us....when they arrive is a little irrelevant. Patience my friend...they will come.

Thanks for the heads up. Never read this before.

there will be a release today folks....please be patient. We have honored our word so far haven't we? We have delivered what we said we would in the time frame we said we would. Please remember, that most of the team is now Western Europe based and we are working to time lines in those time zones. Wednesday for us might mean Thursday morning for you. We are placing ourselves under immense pressure to fulfill these promises we made (even as I type there are BAS folks working on testing and creating cool last minute touches we have thought of) so please people...a little understanding and patience will help us all enjoy BAS Week that much better.

Well said Poet!

It's like our own personal JAM for helos. The LB's and Pavehawk will share the weapons in this file. Eventually...if the BH's get updated..they will use this file as well in addition to any extra helos in the future.

I'll look into laulau....could you explain exactly what steps you are taking so I can replicate the problem?

Marine....we are leaving Marine units to the USMC mod....talk to MSpencer there who is a member of them. m21man....damn..just realised you weren't added to my intro list. Will send email now.

Maybe one day quicksand....like with most things...we have designs on the table...just not a lot of time for implementing.

We got some planned...but not started, Problem with all these units is making them unique enough to be different for gameplay purposes. But we have some ideas.

That's it. Only 4 addons.

Aaaah yes...easy to see it now...thanks Miles, Keg and Ran. The fact that is directing the exhaust up into the rotorwash is a dead giveaway as well. Nice call gents.
