I didn't mean to hit on the OH-6. It's just that things like that are particular eye-catching when the rest of the module is so polished.

No worries, you are absolutely right. If anything I'm surprised more people haven't pointed it out.

A cockpit overhaul (doors, pedals, frame, seats, etc) is planned for later (not soon).

In the meantime, just like @Jarhead0331 said, leave those ugly front doors at the FARP

Have yourselves a few beers .

Thanks a lot Slippa

Regarding the PBRs, they're only available as part of the Sea Float barge. TeTeT's Vietnam War Vessels pack should have one if I'm not mistaken.

The only question I have left has anyone got the AI door gunner to work in a MP server, we can not get them to work at all

I think it's the first time someone is reporting that issue. Was it on a dedi server or local host?

~~If on a dedi, did you also install the "Scripts" folder on it?~~ [EDIT: that's not necessary]
Any other mods running?

Any plans to create European theater liveries for these vehicles? Either The tri-color camouflage or a green?

Yup, NATO woodland is on the to-do list

Has the rotation of the rotors been fixed ? Last version I was using had the trailing edge of the blade as the leading edge, if that makes sense ?

No, it's the exact same mod that was released a while back. I've just included into the main mod the extra liveries CrazyEddie and Neo47 made after the original release.

You guys must have had a layered texture file when you made your skins for this? @crazyeddie @Gunslinger22 @Neo47

@Neo47 has kindly made his template available: Seaking Template

As far as a static. It wasn't in structures, but helicopters on mine.

You were right, I've edited the first post.

Damnit.

Thanks Neo.

re-re-uploaded with the missing muzzle flashes textures. 3rd time the charm...

The uparmored version isn't ready yet, I forgot to remove it from the shapes folder.

April 9

oops, made a mistake while renaming one of the texture folder.

it should be "hmmwv_prop" and not "hmmvw_prop"

I've updated the download link with the fix

April 9

I've updated the first post with a download link.

The pack isn't as complete/polished as I originally planned but I don't know when I'll have the time to work on it.

So I might as well share what I got so far.

There are 4 variants: M2, Mk19, TOW and Cargo.

Any significant updates on the project guys?

Tobi is polishing the last few items on the OH-6 while I'm finishing the assets. Nothing really worth showing at the moment but we're almost there

Got to ask any plans for updated westland sea kings as per my post in the other forum ?

Nope, sorry, I'm not planning any update.

Hi Eightball & Crazyeddie, could you guys kindly share your liveries for the Sea King? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,

Timex 3

I've created a new thread for the Seaking:

That version of the mod contains all the additional liveries made by Neo47 and Crazyeddie.

April 7

2 AI variants of the Seaking (Sikorksy SH-3H and Westland Mk48) as well as 2 static ones with folded rotor and tail to place on a carrier deck

In the mission editor, the AI Seaking can be found under the helicopter tab (it should appear at the very bottom of the list)

The static object variant can be found under Static Object -> Helicopter -> "Static - Seaking"

are we getting the C-123 as an AI asset as well?

On 2/22/2024 at 5:26 AM, Stackup said:

The C-123 and those buildings especially

Yes, they'll all be released alongside the OH-6. The C-123 might just be a static object in the initial release, though.

Could I ask, the main rotor animation - is that temporary or that's how it's gonna be

It's temporary, still working on it. Pretty like everything else

Yup, it's on the list.

Out of curiosity what would help you with making this mod and the asset packs? Is there anything you are looking for specifically we could assist with locating for you guys? I would think more intel is better than less when making creating these mods.

At this point we pretty much have all the documentation we need. What's left to do either doesn't require docs (LODs, collision models, destroyed models, etc) or a quick google image search is enough.

Ahem...the video will come later this week

Outstanding news! I got a few new books in on US Vietnam LARRPs and SF guys during that period if you are interested in making any US assets. I do not recall seeing if you had done any or not with this. Also have a book coming in on the patrol boats

Thanks but we're not planning any infantry units at the moment. Out of curiosity, are these books novel/autobiography or more technical stuff?

We do have a few US vehicles planned, though.
