Since the source code seems to be available now, where or how can I get it?


(In case anyones confused I renamed the thread since it changed topic)

It isnt availabe to the genral public yet. And its not the true source, it is only available in assembly code.

Interesting screenshot there... looks like he is dousing the animated flames iwth a water hose! Unique!

The green hose I drew in with photoshop and just pasted the flames around. But its a pic taken from the firefighting lib I started on before. The flames were vehicles that attacked structures- they would fire a weapon that I gave the running man shape, only retextured with the flame animation. By making them have weapons they could "burn" buildings and give the idea that the fire is spreading. You can tell which flames are the real missiles (not photoshopped) because they have the black smoke :wink:.

Eventually in the lib you would be able to fly a C-130 over the fire and drop fire retardent (retextured flak shape). But that much work for such a small lib wouldnt be worth it.

Still an interesting idea!

Yea, interesting indeed! :D
I for one whould sure have liked to have that lib available! Would have
been quite a new "dimension" for FA!
Eh, the C-130 as a firefighter plane is nice, but what about using one of
the Beriev with a new skin(?) to simulate a PBY-5A amphibious?
Or a CL-215 or CL-415?
Hum, being able to land on water and to "reload water"; is it possible?

Just my undervalued Canadian 2-cents.

I was planning to add these actually, I saw a show about them on them on Discovery Wings last year. And I would make the C-130 have a greater tendancy to have its "Wings ripped off" damage in FA, since C-130 water bombers have their wings fall off all the time :roll: . (Does anyone have the list that tells what each line in the .pt file edits in concern to unique damage :?: )

I suppose so with a retextured airbase....just make the airbase clear, and along the edges of the runway maybe paint or add a buoy from the small comm dish shape? Then add a "supply" next to the runway and I guess it would reload you. I might finish this lib after all :D

Well it is possilbe to land on water, but the reloading would be trickier to make.
All you need to do to land is to make the aircraft VSTOL and land close to land.

I have all that water landing stuff in the upcoming KAPSET3 along with the A-40 Albatross, but it's for Anti-Sub work not waterbombing, have the "water" landing area with colored buoys along the side.

You can land on water simply enough if you create an invisible runway with a zero visiblility range and an invisible texture. That way the runway never shows up but you can place it and it will give you ILS indicitations to where it is located so you can land on it.
