Downed pilot

[Guest zerocinco]

I need a man on the ground. Maybe the door gunner from the OH6A or one of the troops in the infantry pack. Any pilot skin would be fine.

 

I will make him a Tank, put a .45 in Gundata, and get him to run from the VC. Not sure exactly how I will get him picked up yet...but one of us will figure that out. Then I have this terrific mission all staked out.

 

Since this is for one mission, I just cannot take the time to learn the software required to model or skin. Once I start doing that, this WOV obsession will get out of hand! : ) I just want to make games for people to play out of other people's toys. Sort of like being Dr. Frankenstein and needing a brain.

 

Got any ideas?

HS-2 flew Sea kings for combat SAR. I haven't seen a USN skin yet for the helo on Capuns site. :ph34r: CL

Doesn't the Sea King come with a USN skin?

Navy (HS-9), RAF, Indian, and a couple more. I can turn one of the existing skins green but not camo. Plus, it has been pointed out that the SH-3 and the HH-3 have some differences. But since Hell will freeze over before someone spends the time drawing a rescue helicopter from the past for one mission, I'm going to go with it. Skin it and call it Jolly Green Giant. Won't be an award winner but the player will be flying a fighter or a Spad anyway.

 

The bigger problem is getting it to DO something similar to a hover or a landing. I got an AI Huey to land last night but don't have a clue how I did it. I have a way to simulate a rescue but I can't get a little man to jump into a helicopter flying upside down with the blades stopped. Even Simulated men aren't THAT stupid.

 

Got any missions that need artillery? Got some. Looks surprisingly like AAA but it will behave like artillery. There's a sim D-1 for sale but why bother for two missions.

I don't know why (haven't compared the data lines) but Capun's SH-3 flies just fine. Since it is a wheeled helicopter and they DO rolling landings, I have a helicopter for a SAR mission. The only problem is I don't want to fly it. Guys that do that get killed!

 

But THAT's going to be a cool mission to put together and play. What did Navy rescue choppers look like? Look at the skin on the one available. Is that close? No clue yet how to move decals. Guess it's coordinate like everything else.
