Wonder

The download site says i don't have the rights for downloading stuff

A reservist-2ndLt who served in the armoured brigade in Parola told me that the Leo:s would be fitted with a coaxial PKT and a cupola-mounted NSV ...the G3 would be a bit optimistic anti-aircraft weapon.

I don't think the E-versions were used in Vietnam

I'll be damned if this thing will be better than DKM's newly-released Comanche

I have been wondering if it would be possible to attach a vertical speed indicator to the artificial horizon. This way a HUD with a working velocity vector would be possible. A huge help when landing

Oh btw... i remember there was a thread about making clusterbomb effects (bomb explodes at certain altitude raining smaller explosions underneath) somewhere in the O2-config editing -section i think.

I like the textures on the weapon addons. However the ITKK sight should be changed tho.

Kalashnikovs have burst fire modes? Since when? The AK's selector switch has 3 positions: up=safe, middle=full auto, down=semi. Which position is burst then? Have you seen a burst-fire Kalashnikov? I have fired an AK-47 and RK-62(which houses the exact same mechanism, as the ak's), neither of which has burst modes. Where did you get the idea that all AK's have burst fires?!

General Vasili Guba? A relative to general Aleksei Guba we know from the campaigns?

But then again BIS apaches carry 500 rounds instead of 1200 Oh hell, just have ammo trucks waiting in an airbase. The JDAMs is a GPS guided bomb, and it needs no laser illumination. It looks just like a normal MK-whatever "Slick" bomb. The reason i came up with JDAMs is that you could drop precision bombs independently without the help of an illumination element. Fuel-air? No thanks! Too much of an overkill with a blast radius of up to 1km! It's just unethical. Might as well have nukes. Rockeyes actually are CBUs ...CBU-20s as i recall, and when i said Rockeyes i meant any types of cluster bombs I wouldn't mind having the flares come from the center of the plane. The countermeasure dispensers actually are quite much in the center of the plane.

AFAIK a multi-barrel 20mm cannon knocks out a T55, disables a T72 and scraches a T80

He has introduced a new hostile foreign policy demanding all NATO forces to withdraw from the Baltic States, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. His demands regarding Finland is as follows: -Naval bases from the finnish coast of Gulf Of Finland and Ĺland to ensure oil transportations from Koivisto(Primorsk) -Abandon talks about joining any western military organization and abandon membership of the EU and guarantee denial of entrance to finnish territory by any western armed forces -Re-introduce Paris peace-treaty limitations to the Finnish Defence Forces Finnish Government has no intention of folliwing any of these demands and a general mobilization has been undertaken. Talks about forming a Nordic defence alliance with Sweden and Norway have now intensified. Purchases of new military equipment has been signed with some leased from EU countries for training. Finnish Air Force, along with Norwegian and Swedish air forces, are now at the highest state of alert. Interception of Russian aircrafts violating finnish airspace occur daily. One Border Patrol's Agusta-Bell Choppers has been reported shot down by a SU-27B Flanker, while observing russian movement along the border. The crew and the passengers were killed in the crash. President Grikov has stated that "the Finnish capitalist govenment has lost all will to cooperate with its eastern neighbour, that it regards Russia as the enemy, while continuing to deal with the real enemy: NATO and EU".<span id='postcolor'> This was a story i made up for my finnish Flight Commander campaign (an old strategy game from Avalon Hill)

It's JAMMER, not scanner!

I came across this reply by AXE somewhere in these forums: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">After doing many expirements with proxies, this is what I have found: 1. You can only have one proxied weapon. 2. If there is a proxy on your model, all guided weapons will fire from it. 3. If you don't have proxies, you must define points "L strela" and "P strela". All guided missiles will fire from these two points unless there is a proxy on the model. 4. Unguided rockets will fire from proxies or the points "L raketa" and "P raketa". That seems to be the rules as far as i can tell. If you find something to the contrary PLEASE POST IT!!! It almost drove me insane trying to get two guided missile systems on a plane, but eventally I gave up. <span id='postcolor'> L raketa and P raketa Are taken up by the Flares/Chaff. That leaves us with detachable weapons and L strela & P strela to play with. I suggest the following loadouts: All versions will include 2 sidewinders on wingtips(L strela & P strela, won't disappear after firing),Countermeasures and of course 578 20mm rounds. Strike , 8 detachable rockeye bombs 2 on each underwing station (or even 2 more on centerline, if you don't mind getting rid of the fuel tank), FLIR and a targeting pod on the nacelle stations (part of the aircraft model, no function. Of course it could also be left empty ). Air Defence 2 amraams on each underwing station plus 2 more on nacelle stations. Total: 10 amraams 2 sidewinders. Centerline fuel tank. I was also hoping to get one armed with JDAMs and one with Mavericks. Also on my wish list there was a working HUD with pich ladders and all, but since there are only a handful of people who can make HUDs, we prolly won't be seeng it. Perhaps in the future version updates then

I think that the textures in OFP are just fine. I would however like BIS to correct some inaccuracies though: -change Mi24 30mm cannon to 12.7mm rapid-fire machine gun with 1400 rounds, higher ROF, new sounds -increace Vulcan ROF... i can't believe BIS actually made it slower than Shilka's!, new sounds -change AH1 30mm cannon to M179 20mm cannon with 750 rounds, higher ROF, new sounds -change A10 30mm cannon to GAU-8 with 1100 rounds, higher ROF. WAAAY more damage, new sounds -change SU25 30mm cannon to GSh-30-2 two-barrel cannon with 250 rounds, new sounds -a russian 12.7mm machine gun to replace the "east m2", new sounds -reduce M2HB ammo from 500 to 100, but add several mags -make a proper BMP-2 model. This one is just a BMB-1 model with a new cannon and missile launcher -Replace the OT-65 posing as a BRDM-2 with a proper BRDM-2 model with 14.5mm and 7.62mm machine gun armaments ...possibly a "Sagger" ATGM version too. -make a proper T-72 model, although one has been made by sigma -make a proper T-80 model and have it fire ATGMs altho also been made by sigma -include a "Return Fire" -command in the command interface. -Change pilot's equipment to merely a pistol, mags, flares smokes and NV -Remove grenades from crews -let grenadiers carry more 40mm grenades. -30mm russian grenades shouldn't fit in a nato 40mm grenade launcher! -remove "Burst" from all Kalashnikov rifles -make the 12.7mm machine gun useful on the Mi-17 chin -make AT-soldiers carry more AT-rounds and LAW soldiers less LAWs -have Apaches carry Stingers and if possible, have the rocket pods tilt up/down. Increace Hellfire damage -no U.S. choppers are fitted with door-mounted M2HB's... should be either M60's or miniguns

Sweet!

AWE-FUCKING-SOME!!!! Is this the best chopper addon ever or what!!!! Haven't tried it out yet, cause i've had a HD failure, but as soon as i get a new one i can test this baby... I just wonder why DKM didn't make a multi-role loadout with stingers and hellfires/ffars.

Blah! Looks like i'll have to do an island of my own if i want those airstrips The problem is, i've neved made anything using the WRPedit

Hey! Those aren't stingers... they look like Sidewinders to me. Judging from that picture the poor thing doesn't know Stingers are tube-launched weapons which look more like this As I remember there is a A-10 REAL addon that has sidewinders in addition to mavericks, therefore 2 guided weapon types. However only the mavericks are visible. The broblem you have is that you have stingers as detachable weapons. And i'm happy to announce you that Stingers are actually tube-launched weapons just like TOWs or FFARs, and they don't need a detaching weapon model. You need to change the model for stingers to a launch tube (which is actually a part of the aircraft model), should be a piece of cake. A stinger launch tubew should look something like this

I think there is some kind of a engineOn=true line existing, maybe it could be used?

I was under the impression that you could only have one type of detachable weapons, like Hellfires. Now if you have tube-launched stingers as guided weapons(not detachable), you'd have to forget about the hellfires being guided, right? If so, game limitations truly suck like never before! (Bye-bye dreams of having an apache with wingtip-mounted stingers!!

could it be possible by making 2 seperate classes using the same model? For example one helicopter using a harrier model and one plane with the same model. You'd take off like a normal helicopter, pick up some speed, and selecting "Nozzles up" from the command menu would execute a script somewhat like this: camdestroy harrierheli; camcreate harrierplane; player moveindriver harrierplane. You'd also need to use setpos/setspeed aswell. I don't have any experience in making scripts, but could it be done?

I suppose it would be possible to destroy(or block) projectiles with other projectiles (for example G8's flares), but I don't think you'd be able to target let alone lock onto a projectile, and therefore AI wouldn't target it.
