Myself and another Invasion1944 member are concentrating on making british models for this Operation Flashpoint mod, check out his churchill MKVII here:

What kind of file formats does OFP use? I ,ight like to join in to make the planes if it's needed. Having someone that makes planes all the time would look better then just haven't someone that makes gun models try to do a plane.since you know the team I figured I would let you know of a few problems on the site. First off the transport you guys want to use is the C47 not the DC2. DC3 was the civilian version, the C47 was the military version used in combat. Now you have the stuka for the germans as a dive bomber but you have a b26 for the US plane and it's a med. bomber that can carry a lot more bombs then the stuka and these planes wont give you a balance in game play. You'll get a ton of guys flying b-26s and bombing the crap out of the german forces and they wont be able to man a counter attack. you need to get a us fighter/bomber in the place of the B-26 or remove the stuka and add the Ju-88. The 109 and P51 are a good choice for the fighters but bombers are going to be important and you need to balance it out. you could add the P-39 since it was mostly a ground attack plane and that would give you a balance since the stuka have tank busting cannons and the 39 had a cannon also.

Razer, I think that would be a great idea. Do you have a link with examples of your models, I'd like to show them when I mention it. As for the site, yeah, there are ALOT of inaccuracies there, they were supposed to be changed long ago, but nothing happened yet. Thats why me and the other guy decided to start making British models, at least then when the tools are released, we can make our project as accurate as possible. Personally, I dont think invasion 1944 needs anything more than ground attack aircraft. In my mind, that would mean Typhoon, P47 and 109? Maybe a spitfire, mustang and 190 too. I see no need for medium bombers, the game isn't that scale. As you say, the medium bombers would rule the battlefield. I think OP Flashpoint is 99% an infantry simulation, I love the idea of aircraft and tanks for infantry support rather than actually flying,driving them, as dedicated sims do it better IP: Logged |

what I envisage is a operation Flashpoint version of Close Combat 3, Commonwealth Summer, "Invasion1944: Sword, Juno, Gold" IP: Logged |

I have a ton of pics of planes I've done for SDOE but my site is currently toast and I can't post the links. I'm looking for an interview I did for a website about my modeling and it has pics on it though they aren't very large. I'll post the url when I find it.IP: Logged |

sorry for the small pics but this is all I currently have floating around the web.
http://www.3dactionplanet.com/flightsims/razer1.htm I did all the planes and schemes. (P38 and P-51B schemes were done by Yardstick and Cas) I also have the P-38F and L, B-26, A-20 and I've helped out with many many other planes in SDOE. IP: Logged |

Razer, the mod leaders ICQ no. is 121836879,
your welcome to build if you want to,it could do with some of your expertise I'm almost thinking of making the British mod more of a partner to this mod, I dont want it to be a few historically incorrect maps with a spitfire and churchill stuck in. I'd like to go the whole hog. i want to have accurate mods, units, squad sizes, maps etc covering the whole commonwealth campaign, using close combat III : commonwealth Summer as a structure. You can build a typhoon and spitfire if you like (hint hint )Being from Alabama you may prefer to build US units, but its worth a try IP: Logged |
