My Soviet AirPad

[wthigon]

I've been working on this for a day now. The buildup is about 40% complete. The following picture is a quick mock-up of what the final product will look like. What do you think about it?

EDIT: I had to align it correctly cause it wasnt in-game. Heres the closest it is to almost final look. How do I fix that part that looks broken below the yellow drums?

EDIT2: Fixed the broken part. Was a ZFudge thing.

that's nicely done, i've been dabbing around with art work nothing big. Im making a 8 plan air i's far from done though. this is just a section of the build up anim, im going to have to move the tower to the center and all that jazz.http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/Dracaveli/untitledc-1.jpg

Very Awesome:cool:

[hogo98]

will that airport be public and do you have any Copy and paste shp bits you could post so i can use some more bits for my copy and paste

[wthigon]

Which airport are you talking about?

[hogo98]

soviet one

[wthigon]

Yeah it'll be public. All I need is to fix the build-up anime a bit. And add snow to the building. Oh and a Cameo.

I don't like the pads. For some reason, they just don't look right.

[Wetdawg29]

ya there kinda a weird lookin but i still say its really nice:color3:

[hogo98]

Yup its nice work indeed when will it be public because i relly like it hehe

[wthigon]

holy crap, i forgot about this... I'll post it later on :p

[starscream007]

Nice job. Although I miss the runway look from RA

[hogo98]

Well there is a soviet Airpad like that

[Fenring]

There's several with the runway style.

[Spider786]

this is just out of curiosity,

but would it be possible to have some sort of A2A dogfights? E.g arm the planes with modified IFV rockets, make them slighty more faster and more damaging. Also limit them to 5 per plane (untill plane reloads), fired in sets of 2 as normall ifv rockets.

[Wetdawg29]

SPider that is totalyy possible, im gonna try making that:p

[Fenring]

It's not possible in stock RA2/YR. You need RP 1.08 SE for that to be possible.

[Spider786]

it would be cool tho :), if anyone manages to implement that into their mod i would love to play it/helpw ith testing pm me if you work it out.. :p


EDIT: lol, there seem to be people actually trying my idea, just another suggestion, you might want to increase the range of the planes/ifv rockets, so that planes have a reaslitc range not a very short one as well as allowing the rockets to chase the planes accross the map (by increasing the timer on the ifv rockets which makes them explode after a while of not hitting the target).

[wthigon]

Works great with 1.08SE...Here's a screen of me doing it...

ZOMG! Red dots on Refinery! :p

[wthigon]

[hogo98]

Lol we all got that problem lol thats exactley what speeder said to you beo Red dots :P and way the planes seem good

[Can Not]

The airpad looks great. Will there be a seperate 2x2 pad from the tower itself?

[Dracaveli]

Gawd, I didnt know this thread was that old, but anyways, im still working on my airpad, I started over since my image making skills (as far as shp's goes) really improved

I decided to make it a 12 plane pad for both allied and sov's, ( want the skies darken by over head flights ) Allied one is about 45% done, Sov's 0%....... both would have been completed by now,(at least for sure the allied one) but I rarely have time, (and interest) for more then 1 to 2 frames a day, since im doing it basically at times pixel by pixel

If anybody is waiting Dont hold your breath they wont be completerd any time soon, but it will be completed

I really want to hold back on making the Soviet one, because I remember VK saying it would be easy to bring back the runway effect, but I guess he hasnt even thought about it since then though

be a cool look with the Allies have the vertical harrier base lift and landing while the sov's retain the basic runway landing.....but only a dream

[nuker7735]

About the dogfights idea... u should take a WWI lookin plane and arm it with machine guns... that would really be a dogfight. I found a cool WWI lookin plane at yr argentina called spitfire. U should check it out, even has a spinning propeller.

What is that RP 1.08 SE Thingy u guys were talkin about? That looked pretty cool.

Actually, it's RPCE now. (http://rtb.strategy-x.com)

[hogo98]

But I thought that a lot of mods did not work with the newer versions of RP. Due to some important tags being changed?
