Teased by thirtyg's pics, I've finally decided to make a simple update to Littlebirds myself. For private use only, of course.

I really didnt want to get involved in this side of the convo, but its priced like that for a reason: Average joe gamer isnt MEANT to have it. No one forced anyone to buy it, no ones forcing you to buy it. Its priced like that so that government agencies will take it more seriously. How come for example MS Exchange 2003 Enterprise Server can be priced over $1300 for a commercial license and as low as $4 for an educational one? This is not a single case, I could give you hundreds of examples of similar pricing policies. Think about it. Now, can anybody give me a reasonable explanation why this is not the case for VBS?

Be careful, because depending on your CPU, it can be shorter than that. I've seen a movie showing what happens to CPU after radiator is removed. Enough to say, temperature skyrocketed to 300F in around one minute. That was one of those old Athlons that had very high power demands... it's not that bad ever since CPUs are built in 0.13um and less process.

@Nilz, I'm very glad to see people use this addon. Many hours spent on polishing up the planes kinda pay off.

Great news. That would be uber-cool!

That would be great.

Ad2. Uhmmm, ok, whatever...

http://img15.echo.cx/img15/8597/lsrdelta23tt.jpg This pic has the best atmosphere of all posted in last weeks. Great pic, Ace.

I'd go for car class & MCAR if you ask me...

What's the point of this post?

Goon, over at opflash.org forums is working on a very promising map of Old City of Najaf (link), but he needs a skilled modeler/addonmaker to modify a few of CAT's and Tonal objects to make them look more Iraqi-like. Nothing big, just some simple modifications and a few simple new objects need to be done. Any help would be appreciated. Pic courtesy of Acecombat

This topic should be pinned or something and updated from time to time as new stuff is released. People've been recently asking this question again and again.

Hmmm.... we should make a pinned topic about it, explaining everything. This question recently keeps coming again and again...

Yeah, something like that is happening to me, exactly...

Great pack, superb modeling, excellent textures. Good job, Laser and whoever helped. Little nitpick, seeing like you go after maximal realism, I tought I'll let you know that AFAIK, Rangers are not allowed to customize their weapons, which implies that desert Rangers should not be armed with camo-painted weapons. One other thing... why, oh why have you armed all of them with handguns? Everytime it comes to a CQB situation, the Artificial Imbeciles (my AI squadmates) switch to handguns and get slaughtered in a secong by any enemy armed with AK47. So for now I end up removing their handguns everytime I start the new mission. But these are just 2 little inconveniences, as I said before, overall it's an outstanding addon.

I've just tried it out and it flies nicely. Good textures, but the mapping on the top and no the bottom of the fuselage is horrible. Also, the tail rotor looks like it's mounted in mid-air. Some other misc problems like HUD not showing up for pilot... can't remember anything else... hope it's all gonna be fixed for the final release. Some rotorwash dust script would be nice, too.

SOV Afghanistan Nope thats not it , no afghan mosque had 2 minarets , this seems to be a editted version of cats mosque if indeed it is so. That's what it is and it's NOT edited CAT mosque. Sorry for offtopic, Vit.

Looking at Pathy's pictures, I want to go to Ecuador now... Anyway, any Canon Powershot Pro 1 users here? I'm thinking about upgrading from my good old Powershot A70 and I've found Walmart has Pro1 at $650. Sounds not that expensive for a 8MP 7x zoom camera, but I wanted to hear what you guys think about it. If not this one, what else would you recommend at similar price (note: has to use Compact Flash or SD cards, so no Olympus)? Thanks.

Yeah, exactly what raedor said... as long as you stick to most popular addons such as AGS, mapfact, BAS, CBT, RHS, ORCS, E&S, HYK, Laser, DKM, you'll be fine.

Little bit more of nitpicking...: Screen The helicopter is USMC, but the inscription on Hellfires says "US Army".

It's back online now. Sorry for incovenience.

We're experiencing some server problems ATM. If it's not up again soon, I'll post a mirror today in the evening.

Having learnt a few different languages, I can say that English is the easiest of them all and my native language (Polish) is the most difficult (no joke!). German.... hmmm.... it's the second most difficult language I've ever had a chance to learn. In fact I've learnt German for like 8 years and my skills at Deutsche sprache are uncomparable to English that I started to learn from computer games.

I think I remember Suma (or another OFP guru ) saying that preprocessFile doesn't compile the code, I could be wrong, though. I agree with you that intoducing functions was a move in the right direction. BTW. I checked out the Suggestions forum and to my surprise, I've found that all my and many more suggestions are already there.

Hey philcommando, great to see more addons from you. I see you've got the ship geometry topic well covered. Any chances that you could update these ships with working Geo and Roadway LODs? Thx.
