The way one would use THIS ADDON (from OFP.info) REALLY made me laugh... Haven't seen anything like it as well...

I think there was a BAS Littlebird which had one of the crew (maybe even the pilot?) being able to fire an MP5 out of the chopper... Though personally I don't think that a submachinegun would be the best choice for such an undertaking...

Wasn't money the big issue there? Too expensive? From what I've heard and read, the whole project went way over budget...

I'm no addonmaker but from all I've seen and read on these forums the fact that multi-turrets work in OFP boats and ships is because they're on a constantly flat surface, and the multi-turret scripts work only because of that. I've once even seen a video of a tank with multiple guns - see this on OFP.info - but all seems to be related to the fact that the surface is flat. As soon as there is an elevation, any secondary turret gets awfully "displaced" I think. But you better ask the experts about it... But that's the reason why there are many boats and ships in OFP that use multiple turrets, but no land-based vehicles...

Well, I don't have ArmA but I also remember that the default OFP motorcycle had a suspension from hell that would make you go bonkers very easily... Thankfully such great addons like STT's KLR 250 exist to correct it... And the Troublemaker's hog bikes are the true kings of the road!

Well, from what I've seen, at least you can do wheelies in ArmA, something I have never seen in OFP...

Join In Progress Knowing is half the battle...

Actually Darth Vader would need a new unit model since he's over 2 meters tall!

So, who or what's next?

Well, deanosbeano is working on the concept of more specific destruction in ArmA, but not only buildings but also planes and vehicles... So don't give up yet...

Happy Easter! Long live all "bunnies" ^^

Well, I haven't bought it myself yet... I was thinking the other day, does anybody remember the oldie but goldie called "Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri"? With regards to missions, these units could perhaps go along with what Terra Nova had to offer, I must say it was a pretty cool game, although I've unfortunately only played the demo... It wasn't around here when it came out... Ah, those were the days... Â

Glad to be of service, guys! I must admit I'm a real fan of Mecha stuff and I'm only happy that these addons exist for OFP, because with the possible exception of Front Mission: Online, it would be impossible to play with these mechs on the PC. There's also a Patlabor mech available on OFP.info, but I consider it a bit under-armed, compared to the competition but it is also done in great quality, you can find the AL 97 S "Hannibal" on OFP.info here - that one also made by talented addonmaker Ocrambass. God, can't wait for this kind of stuff to be converted to ArmA...

  what is it? The High-MACS (1), whose official designation is TRIAX Industries X-8000 Gun Griffon, is a high-mobility mech from the Gun Griffon universe, of which several games exist for consoles (none for PC that I know of). Luckily for us, talented addonmaker Rezin has brought them to OFP. You can download it from his site by going to the High-MACS section, which also contains some pictures of it ingame. IMHO, it's on an equal footing, with regards to quality, of the Wanzer mechs available for OFP so far.

Thanks for the quick replies, guys! redpride, I recognized that terr2.pbo by its name, it is part of an old addon pack released by Capt.Moore, which I still like alot Thanks for the uploads! Mr Duck, your addons are a gift from heaven! I'm writing a story to get them into a series which I'm going to shoot still in OFP along with most of the best Mecha addons made for OFP (the Wanzer addons by Battle of Hokkaido mod and Ocrambass, the High-MACS, and some others too)... About the Gunship: redpride is right about it having to have Cobra in its name, because it looks like a Cobra snake - wide body right after the head, like the snake when it is in threatening/attack mode... awesome!

redpride, the only ones I have installed are those from the .rar file you posted for download... Then again, the readme only refers to the existance of the normal terran troopers, it doesn't make any reference to any SpecOp variants... maybe it's a feature Mr.Duck was developing but hasn't finished yet?

Porting the Amazon packs to ArmA would be enough - they've got Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider outfits and all...

Thanks, redpride, that did it! The only strange is that there are some SpecOp Terrans there which if I try to put them in the editor, I get a "no .ModelSpecial found" error... But besides that everything seems to be ok!

I have a better idea. Make the contest, and give the winners the pro tools - the full monty Oxygen and Visitor (or whatever the tool is named they use to do the islands in ArmA) - none of that "light" crap. BIS wouldn't spend money, and the community would benefit greatly. Â

It's a conversion from the best Hind that was made for OFP, a work from Scars and the RHS team, find more info about it in this thread, first release and in this thread, update v1.01 released

Can I say: "SPLASH 1 Harrier!"? RockofSL, maybe try pitting a Harrier vs a Skyhawk (Falklands War scenario) - the Skyhawks are slower so they shouldn't pose any problems? Edit: Footmunch, are F-16 cockpits really that yellow? I've seen many picks where it doesn't look that way... Well, this one is just to demonstrate that the F-16 is always cheerful!

OMG, those VTOL experiments from the early years of the Cold War... Was that the thing that was supposed to replace the Jeep?

Erm, sorry for digging this up but the latest version doesn't seem to be available anymore... Could anybody post it somewhere for download, plz?

Hmmmm, hard to judge but I think OFP made me skip "quality time" ^^ with my GF at least once... Edit: Haven't gotten ArmA yet...

EricM, you could always do an MI-35M version of it, shouldn't require too much change me thinks, and it's something not done previously for OFP - or at least not in a correct manner, and my guess is that the one OFP MI-35M is not going to be ported to ArmA by anyone for that reason, so since your stuff seems to look so good, maybe you could make that variant for ArmA...
