That AC-130 looks brilliant. Good work.

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - AC-130

Something just doesn't look right. Looks like a flying weiner and the fuselage seems too short. Maybe the scale is off just like the buildings were in the last DC screenshotfest.

Its looks prefect, you obviously have no idea what a C-130 looks like

sorry you fail, go take your crap else where.....

Real AC 130:


DCon flying weiner:




Look guys I know you're going for a Desert Combat look but you dont need to constrain yourselves with the same size/scale limitations they had to deal with using the 1942 engine.

P.S. Once again just to remind you, please fix the bland textures and horrible scaling of the buildings.

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - AC-130

*Sigh* All posts not pertaining to Dcon have now been removed, including my own. I guess this is what I get for trying to help out the mods and focus the attention on their update, as it should be.

Any posts from this point on not regarding this update will be deleted.

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - AC-130

looks fine to me, have you ever even been inside a real AC-130, its not as big as you think....

Dcon's AC-130 was built off real life specifications and is represented wondefully ingame....

edit: BTW that AC-130 in the pic looks like an AC-130J whice is infact longer then the one represented in Dcon...

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - AC-130

den·i·zen
n.

1. An inhabitant; a resident: denizens of Monte Carlo.
2. One that frequents a particular place: a bar and its denizens.

:laugh:

This isn't a criticism, it's just that the juxtaposition of that phrase with the rest of the paragraph struck me as funny. Don't worry, though, you don't need a crack writing team when you've managed to get an AC-130 into the game. Seriously, after all the talk I've heard about what a pain in the *** it'd be to get a working AC-130 in game, I think this would have sufficed:



Can't wait to fly it!

There is nothing wrong with using denizen of the sky... for example:

1. An inhabitant; a resident: denizens of the sky

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - AC-130

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - AC-130

The photo above is neither a J-model, nor an AC-130. It's a slick C-130. The AFRC doesn't fly gunships, there are no guns sticking out the side of it, and the props are wrong for the J.

The AC-130J is a neat concept, but doesn't exist in real life. The mod pix all look to be based on the AC-130H (and very excellent work). There is also an AC-130U out there, which is the same dimensions and looks pretty similar (minor differences in appearance & technology, but nothing that would change the gameplay any). The J is still approaching maturity, and while a fine airplane it hasn't been modded yet into very many special mission varients (hurricane hunting excepted, of course).

I should have been more specific. The sentence makes sense, it's the juxtaposition of that particular phrase that I found funny. Note that I simply found it funny, I'm not saying it makes no sense or was used incorrectly.

Here, look at the sentence before and after it.

Thats right folks..

The bane of every person on the ground..

"Denizen of the sky" is pretty mundane in contrast, and implies nothing special about the plane. Isn't any plane a denizen of the sky (while we're at it, what about birds?)? But the way it is used (calling it "the" denizen of the sky and surrounding it by the aforementioned statements) suggests that the word denizen means it is somehow better or more fearsome than other planes, even though "denizen," as shown in the definition, has no such implications.

Don't bother trying to find humor in it anymore. If I couldn't make it funny the first time, my explanation sure as hell isn't going to fix that. I guess it's something that not enough people think about to ever make funny.

Either way, like I was saying, I need to fly this beast!

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - AC-130

Thanks for the positive comments people. But I must say that this place amazes me. Why does a single sentence get so much attention? lol Also, why do so many people think that the devs are so retarded as to not notice things that the casual observer does in a screen shot? Do you guys actually think that a modeler that works on something for weeks/months and the coders that tweak it in the editor and in game haven't noticed things you guys pick out of screen-shots? I find it hilarious... :)

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - AC-130

wow! great model. That is something to be proud of. Can't wait to shoot the number 2 cannon and drop tanks in one shot :P

Yeah... About that... :cry: In retrospect, I know it looks like I was overanalyzing things, but in reality the whole idea occurred to me as soon as I read the sentence (if it had taken me as long to get the idea as it did to explain it then I wouldn't have found it funny). It really doesn't matter, though. Mod teams don't need to focus on writing when they produce the quality that you guys do (like I said in my first post). Keep it up!

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - AC-130

aw man, one of my favourite things about the DC gunship was that you could pack almost a dozen people in the back of that thing, all bouncing around until someone dropped the ramp and we all got sucked out.

At least tell me a mig tailing the gunship can still kill individual people inside? that was the best part about flying inside the gunship, frantically closing the ramp when u saw a mig open up with its gun to rake the inside.

Also fun...opening the ramp and trying to shoot sraw's and stingers at the chasing mig. more often than not u hit the gunship instead but that one time when u do hit the mig...glory hallelujah
