Isn't the Camel an essential addon? Almost like any patch? Because a number of addons borrow stuff from it... I just love its rumbling sound!

Hey Scud, if you're modifying the O-2 and O-1, at least for the O-2 I'd suggest you change the engine sounds (maybe for the BIS Camel's engine sound) - the normal BIS Cessna Engine sound is too silent for a twin-engined plane... Capt. Moore's Cessna Floatplane uses the Camel's engine sound and it sounds a lot better that way... just a suggestion...

I understand u perfectly Ok, Nogova it is, then! Will get to work on it as soon as possible!! (meaning tomorrow at the latest!)

A REALLY nice addon would be a Landing boat that would carry more than just infantry... otherwise I'll prefer to use T.O.W.'s AAV7 1.1 anytime (it has a Mk19 40mm grenade launcher and is useful ashore as well ). Wasn't anybody up to doing something that could ferry vehicles ashore? Maybe some functional LCAC that could carry maybe an Abrams or two along with a couple of Bradleys? Now THAT would rule... a true vehicle-carrying ship!!

Or, grab it at OFPBASE ... (won't make the mistake twice of not putting the URL... sorry Scud...)

Ok, lemme see what I can come up with... as for stuff to be used, guess it is best to use as much official units/vehicles/objects as possible... as for the setting, it's either Everon, Malden or Nogova... Kolguyev out of the question...

Nice sub btw!!! It's an Oscar class submarine!!! One which also has 650mm torpedo tubes from which the SS-N-21 ("SAMPSON") can be fired!!! VERY NICE INDEED!!! Way to go wizzywig!!!

Ok, here goes one mission probability... maybe even developable into campaign... U.S. forces are tasked with counter-insurgency mission against armed forces which have so far been able to elude satellite pinpointing; U.S. Naval task force stationed off-shore, U.S. invasion imminent (your choice on OPFOR & island setting, but maybe something Everonish...). Enemy exact location unknown, but civilian population is present on the island, so it's not a "shoot-everything-that-moves" situation... rather be wary of whom you can trust. Preliminary landing takes place by USMC elements, whilst SpecOp forces are tasked with finding main enemy infra-structure. Once found and Tomahawks deployed ashore, it's striking time!! (This is just a rough general outlining of the setting for a mission, though a single mission could include 1: The landing 2: Recon 3: Recon team extraction to launch vehicle 4: Missile setup and launch -> Enemy camp destruction equals mission won!). Hope this isn't too crappy...

Hmm, do you want mission ideas? Possible scenarios for deployment & use of the Tomahawk? I could try to think of something...

Whose email? ofpman1? CheyenneAH56@aol.com If you manage to mail him, make sure you ask him about his planes... most interesting are his S-3 Viking , his An-72 , his Beriev 200 and his Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane ...

I've also recently started with basic mission-making (MP-Coop-type), would you like to have them? What are your criteria for being a member of Joint-Command? What are your criteria for mission design?

Nice!!! eheheh... gotta make a nice video once I got all that stuff... with individual dedications to these great addon-makers!!!

Man, make sure you make its flight deck useable... and maybe you could ask CoC to develop an ASROC missile for it... since they made their great torpedos... I can already imagine it... the Nimitz protected by Arleigh Burkes, a couple of Kilo-class subs gathering for the kill, SH-60 Seahawks searching for them... all that's missing is S-3 Vikings... but Ofpman1 never released his, at least not that I know of... oh well...

My OFP modification experience is limited so far to mission-making (and I followed a tutorial on making an Island with WrpEdit but that stint doesn't count ). Anyway, I dunno about the coastal launchers for those soviet missiles, but the naval versions are submarine-launchable... maybe convince whoever made the Kilo-class submarine to make a sub that could fire some SS-N-21s... like the Sierra, Akula or Victor III class submarines... or maybe have a "retrofitted" Kilo-class sub (never heard of a diesel-powered submarine possessing cruise missiles as part of its armament, but what the hell, why not? )... just a thought...

Hmmm... I was just wondering... all this work that goes into doing a Tomahawk... could it also go into making the russian equivalent of it? Like the SSC-4 (NATO codename:"SLINGSHOT"), SS-N-21 (NATO codename:"SAMPSON") or it's successor, the SSC-5 / SS-N-24 (NATO codename:"SCORPION")? How about it?

Indeed!!! Finally a new contra-rotating-rotor helo that works correctly!!! (Vit made a Ka-27 but that one had two rotors but I think they weren't contra-rotating like they should )... Now all we need is Sebastian to do a Kaman Huskie helicopter, since he made the inter-meshing-rotors work for his excellent Kolibris!!! Back to topic, I hope this comes out well!! Would prefer to use this one to ferry troops around rather than any Kasatka!! It's already a great addon!!

Is that OFP??? Fully working???

There's already a float plane (Cessna made by Capt. Moore), so making some like He-115 wouldn't be much of a problem I guess (not me though, I'm not an addon-maker  )... Making a flying boat... hmmm... I wonder if it won't affect the plane's main body damage too much if ya land a bit roughly... thank god there aren't any waves in OFP!!!  Still, there are also modern flying boats: A-40 A-40/Be-42Data

Nice! Thx for the info, ag_smith!

Here's some constructive criticism: make sure you get the outside view positioning corrected... it's way off, it's neither of the "BIS-driver-POV" nor vehicle-center type... I prefer a vehicle-center-outside viewpositioning!

Hey Lee, which addon is that Mercedes-G on the left?

It's not an official GTA:VC car, cuz it's a more modern Mercedes than the one present in GTA:VC under the name "Admiral". Personally, I think the outside view positioning of the cars made by these authors is absolutely off... detestable!! They should at least have done a good job of outside positioning... the interiors look a bit "loose" (doors), but otherwise ok...

Hmm, the AT-AT would have to be built rock-solid, for I don't believe that forest is much of an obstacle for AT-ATs (at least it seems to be a fact from what I've read of Timothy Zahn's novels). If you do Endor, you surely use the thick-forest-patch a lot (for the sake of low lag), which by my experience is totally invulnerable and unwielding... (which would mean they'd be impassible for even rock-solid AT-ATs ). I don't think putting in lanes with "flexible" forest between large patches of static forest would be fair as means to limit the AT-ATs mobility in missions... Just a thought...

yeah, like, there were some parts where one couldn't go... although I haven't seen any aircraft carrier in OFP with armament... so far, for OFP, in terms of modern navies, the Nimitz model is the best one; it would be nice if they made an armed Kiev-class carrier as well...
