Hi All,
Just uploaded "Little Puff". Sorry for the lack of Marker Rockets. As soon as I put the files together I'll get that uploaded also. I wanted to get this out there first.
This is a complete aircraft and is the Alpha Oldies O-1F Bird Dog. All credits are in the readme's.
Thanks and Have Fun,
Bub

You get the smoke rockets uploaded, and I'll finish the M-60 BGL and add it to the DP/Payloads. Smiley

I've just about got the new M60 BGL and O-1F DP file ready to go. In beta testing now. Smiley

Now you can put a little hurt on Charlie while waiting for the Sandies to arrive. Smiley

1. I just uploaded the M60 machine gun add-on for the Bird Dog. It should be available by tomorrow. Cool

Cool

2. I've also uploaded a texture file that will add color to the Smoke Rockets for the Bird Dog. It was my error that caused this BMP to be omitted from the original Smoke Rocket download. Without this BMP your rockets will not appear in gray/red as shown in the above screenie. Embarrassed

There HAS to be a way to trick those marker rockets into actually generating smoke!

I've tried dozens of times, but the bottom line seems to be that since it is a rocket and is destroyed on impact, any effects attached to it terminate when it ceases to exist. For that reason even long-lasting smoke effects do not work. Cry

I hope someone can prove that I just overlooked a simple way to make it work. Cool

We actually ran into this when Bis was working on a nice nuke effect. The way he finally go the thing to work properly was to put the effect in the DP of the target, not the DP of the weapon. Wink

Hmmm, I wonder if something could be done with a 'marker rocket' as an aircraft?

Rockets aside, I'd love to have this guy on a strip in the back forty. How about changing the smoke effect to dustcloud.
If colored right it'll kinda look like smoke and should hang around for as long as you make it.
Looking forward to the M60...not for coyotes from the air but rather politicians... or are they one and the same???... Huh

Huh

Yes, I messed some with this one back when I did the LT6-G from Wozza's source files. I even made new marker rockets for the upload which, of course, didn't smoke.

A little AIR file tweak for the Bird Dog. Open the AIR file with AirEd or AirWrench and open Record 516. Change the Aileron Trim setting to -0.030000. That will cure a couple of ills in the flight characteristics, and give you decent aileron trim control. Smiley

Bub has finished the new Korean War skin (OD) for the O-1 Bird Dog and they will be posted in a couple of days....

Along with the new texture will be an appropriate DP and improved AIR file with the trim tweak. Wink
