PS. Do not walk/run into the propeller when it is moving.

Yes! You didn't forget! :D

Thanks, downloading now, can't wait to play around with it!

Awesome (especially the propeller effect :eek:), thank you

edit: I also PM'd Foxhound about the release, so hopefully Armaholic mirror is coming soon.

beautiful work...i'm impressed by skin effects. Thanks!

Love the Maule, especially since I lived not far from where they are made. Brings back a little of home for me :). Thanks for this Rocket!

As always thanks for taking the time to inform us about your releases Rocket. Work kept me busy to add our mirror sooner.

Maule M7 (Ski Plane) v2.2

One thing Foxhound, it appears to be in the ArmA 1 download section, yet it's an ArmA 2 addon.

Yeah, my mistake. Fixed that :)

Thanks for this awesome addon Rocket! I'm downloading now. Great work.

what a quality! Love it!

Rocket:

if you're planning an update (probably to fix the glass?), could you also add the plane for the Civilians? It's pretty much just a little config edit, which I could do myself, but it would be nice to have it on the civilians side officially :)

As i love planes, ill sure check it out

Lovely plane, been looking forward to this since the 1st wip screens! :bounce3:

Nice video presentation also.:bounce3:

Nice plane and easy to fly. But no damage textures or model.

I had tried to do the damage textures - but I was getting "rvmat not found" errors. If someone can let me know what I did wrong (although I removed the rmvats and commented out the secion in config), then I'll fix it and release an update.

Very nice addon fella. I like it alot. There are a few problems though. Those glass bugs, Engine start-up smoke plays even when start from flying. Plane looks very basic from a distance, no textures and such. Other than the obvious no damage model thing its great!
