Well, in a sense, Battletech is already in OFP, if you count the Macross as Battletech as well (Land-Air Mech anyone? :haha: )... - Then of course what would be missing is a Jetfire skin :rofl:

 

Other than that, I can't say that any Battletech-based mech design was in any way successful or convincing in OFP - the best were still the Wanzer series, with the odd other success also around...

It's not "ingame" from the get-go, it's an addon you have to download, then put the .pbo file in the "addons" folder of Operation Flashpoint, then you can go into the ingame editor, put in your unit (meaning the man unit that is YOU), then add the plane (preferably having selected an island with a runway, would help), and then select "preview", for a quick spin... other than that you can build complete missions with enemies flying around etc, can be done simply if you get to know the ingame editor, it's pretty user-friendly I think...

OFP is kind of a Sandbox game in which most of the "curious stuff" (like the Wyvern posted above) are singular addons and not total conversion "mods" (like the possibility of adding single aircraft to WOE as opposed to installing total conversion mods).

 

The best site for Operation Flashpoint Addons & Mods would be http://ofp.gamepark.cz also known as OFP.info.

 

Use the site's search function and mostly if it exists for OFP that site has it. Other than that head over to the official BIS Forum at http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikon...1/ikonboard.cgi and use that forum's search forum before asking, but if the search function doesn't turn up anything you could try posting a question about the existance of whatever you're searching.

 

The reason I like OFP so much, is exactly because like in WoE I can add little bits and pieces and mix it my way, instead of just dealing with complete mods that would have something I wouldn't like etc. There are even total conversions that alter the special effects of the game etc. I won't point you to some of the best mods because I don't know which they'd be, but --> HERE <-- is a good thread of the official forum which states the best ways to modify OFP to make it a much more pleasant game than vanilla OFP...

 

Edit: Just discovered this crazy video on youtube, just to show what is possible with extra modifications... :

WTF???

That looks like a twisted Flanker-Fulcrum.

And the other is like a Su-47...If you guys start doing fancy aircraft,it would be interesting if there was Star Wars "planes"...

Like the X-Wing,Y-Wing,A-Wing,B-Wing,V-Wing,Naboo Starfighter...

 

 

 

THIS ISN'T STAR WARS BOY!!!

A FRICKEN x-WING WOULD LOOK SO OUT OF PLACE IN WOE OR SFP1

AT LEAST THESE ANIME DESIGNS ARE MORE CLOSE TO EARTH THEN SOME GAY LUCASARTS

STUFF.

YOU WANT THAT STUFF PLAY X-WING OR BATTLE FRONT

THIS ISN'T SPACE WERE DEALING WITH

I think there are many people here would disagree with you on that, in fact almost all of the Rogue Squadron games have had missions in atmospheric environments. And please don't attack another person's opinions like that if you don't agree with them. If someone felt like creating a X-wing for the TK series, you don't have to install it if you don't like it. The best part of this game is that you can do almost whatever you want with it.

The TW engine is actually quite flexible.

 

And if you're looking to get IP banned, you're starting out quite nicely.

 

Your next post had better be an apology for your rude behavior.

 

Only warning.

You know Star Wars was what got me into sci-fi to begin with. From there I got into sci-fi anime with Macross/Robotech. The aircraft models are what drew me in so easily.

 

As for Yukikaze, the Sylph is still my favorite and the mave a close second. I just wish we could model the FM so you could fly backwards and shot down enemy missles while flying down a canyon. As with with any anime fan, I would like to see a valkrye in ais to air combat, maybe even somehing from macross plus. VF-19 or VF-21!

 

An X-wing can fly in atmossphere from it's thrust and profile lift alone. yes profile lift, lift attributed to the shape of the body. Only problem with a Star Wars mod would be TIE fighters they have no lifting surfaces at all.

 

Thought I'd share my two cents

Most starfighters in Star Wars got their lift capabilities in atmosphere from repulsorlifts, which are separate from the sub-light engines and hyperdrives.

Getting back on topic, would it even be possible to have something like the Banshee? I guess only as target, since in WoE at least one can fly through anything but the ground... Trees, ships, buildings... guess one couldn't land on a plane... :dntknw:
