AC-130U Spooky II Gunship - Armed Assault 2

[Diphtherietoxin]

Is there any Multiplayer Server, where you can use this Addon?

[Zam0rak41]

Lol, mine doesn't work at all xD

[thaihorsex]

I have the game but don't know how to use the AC130. i dont see it in the mission editor

[50cent329]

hey guyz ive downloaded the ac-130 addon, but in the game, the ac-130 dunt have its weapons, its just a plain c-130 although it says ac-130, can any1 helpp?

[jonnyfilmboy]

@50cent329 Read the README.TXT file. It should have all of the information you need on how to get the addon running.

[gtamodman122]

Man I knew ArmA 2 was a hell of a game but I didn't know you can have such good stuff there!!

[jonnyfilmboy]

@gtamodman122 There's a new AC-130 addon which blows this one away. It's much easier to implement on missions, the AI can control it, and the interface is much closer to the COD: Modern Warfare interface.

[WillKillForName]

@jonnyfilmboy What is it called? You have me very exited now!!! ;)

[jonnyfilmboy]

@WillKillForName Check out armaholic. They have the addon on there. Do a search for LDL and it will be the third thing that comes up.  It's made by LurchiDerLurch. It's really quite awesome.

[GoldenTagachi]

wow..all my years of playing arma and i never knew that ac130 had that option!

[GoodEvenings]

Afghani TORNADO!

[Gizziiusa]

What the ?  I look up spooky stuff about Halloween, and this pops up ? haha, jk.

[jonnyfilmboy]

@Gizziiusa haha :)

[IwAtChViDeOz44]

@jonnyfilmboy How do you get the A.I. pilots to circle the target area with a pylon turn. When I'm gunner they always have a straight on approach.

[jonnyfilmboy]

@IwAtChViDeOz44 The turn was scripted. But you should download the most recent AC-130 script from armaholic because it's a little more developed and usable than the script featured in this video.

[jonnyfilmboy]

@SpartanV15 Well, my only point in listing my computer specs is that even if this game was on the consoles, it probably wouldn't run that well. And really, the game is very immersive with the TrackIR and using a mouse, something that would be missing on a console in my opinion. But I completely know what you are saying. Either way, I've busted my butt working and saving for many years to build the computer I have. You can upgrade too once you've put in the time and effort to save up more. GL!

[jonnyfilmboy]

@SpartanV15 I just purchased a second Nvidia GTX480 to compliment my i7-960 with 6 gigs of fast ram, and the game STILL has low FPS at times. Unbelievable. It's going to take some kind of engine change for things to smooth out. Wish they would adopt the CryTek engine. It just seems better in every way.

[lwm762]

Does PS3 have anything like this? Where can I find this?

[jonnyfilmboy]

@lwm762 Not that I know of. PC-based mod.

[josediogomafra]

@lwm762 no, you have to get it for the pc, the only thing near is operation flashpoint dragon rising, but is hard as hell!

[MeisterQualle]

you can c the mapgrid

[jonnyfilmboy]

@MeisterQualle Yeah, this is an old problem with the game and lighting. Not crazy about this shortcoming, but it's forgivable overall.

[zheng1985]

no where to hide

[stewart113]

Guns on the wrong side = fail :0

[JoeLEE10]

@stewart113 LOL i just realized that too..... Uh-oh if any of those AC-130 guys see this they are going to have a fit.....

[jonnyfilmboy]

@stewart113 It's just a proof of concept, man.

[kurnellampdwarf]

Why isn't this added on ACE Mod! :(

[chillaxer1993]

haha i like the tracers coming from the ground.  they can't see who they're shooting at hahahahahahah

[airsoftjunkie2]

ive been in a real one of them :O :)

[yascumbag]

oh my god man theres tons more on this mod than the ones im used to? what version is this? is it stable>?

[iraqibikercbr600r]

how this works all the air mods works only this one,can you help me???

[jonnyfilmboy]

@iraqibikercbr600r. Maybe you can get an English speaker to retype your request. Sorry, I don't understand. If you are looking for this mod, it's on armaholic. Hope that helps. Take a look at the mission included with the download.

[iraqibikercbr600r]

@jonnyfilmboy sorry for my bad english,i meant to say this mod dosn`t work.

[commandosolo2009]

it shoots from the left, hence the left handed pylon turn..

[NotCaringJustRelaxin]

Hate to be a nag, but doesn't the AC-130 shoot out of the left side. In this video it looks like the guns are on the right hand side.

[ChocoboXii00]

@NotCaringJustRelaxin

The AC 130 shoots from the other side you're right, but maybe there are ac 130 shooting right or left, i think it depends on version of the plane, the ac 130 is pretty old. I'd prefer having canons on both side but it's a bit too much :)

[greganichols]

is it better for PC or 360?

[DeathsOneDesign]

LMAO.

[soldier167v]

i know you guys that use pc hate us xbox 360 users but ive been waiting and waiting for a a game this realistic based on a real war with real a story thats nice compared to GRAW or CODMW this place actually looks like afghanistan !!and no game for ps3 or xbox is this close to shooting talbans!

[jonnyfilmboy]

Arma 1 actually has a fantastic Afghanistan map based on Waziristan. It's not available for Arma2, but there's an expansion pack for Arma2 coming out that should have some Afghani-based maps.

FYI, the story isn't that great with Armed Assault games. Really, you buy it for the editor, the community mods and the multiplayer. The stories and gameplay are very diferent from COD games. But Arma is definitely unique.

[VineFynn]

@jonnyfilmboy Actually, Armed Assault is not the title of the series, it is the subtitle of ARMA 1. ARMA 2 has no subtitle. This is a common misinterpretation.

[ChocoboXii00]

@soldier167v Arma 2 occurs in a post soviet country wich doesn't exist but you could findplace just like that in romania or ukrain ...

It's not afghanistan.

[P3RF3CTD3ATH]

@soldier167v If Bohemia Interactive caters to console fags needs, then the game will be practically ruined. Thankfully, Bohemia only made that shoddy Operation Flashpoint game for consoles long ago and never made another one.

[sowatifimasurfer]

FLIR would be sick with this.. I think i remember joining a server one time and some stuff in game had flir, was that just a script?

[jonnyfilmboy]

Well, there's no "real" FLIR in game yet. There's just the version made by modders for Arma 1, and then the version made by BIS (which is on the UAV). But it's not real, it's basically just a crappy black and white filter, with screwed up values. The expansion pack coming out later this year is supposed to have the FLIR used in VBS. Should be awesome.

[Reyalp]

adjustable nightvision? *hard-oooon*

[jonnyfilmboy]

Adjustable NV is already available as an addon.  Available at armaholic.

[tjzil]

Now all we need is for Operation Arrowhead to come out and combine this with the new FLIR!

[KhorneFlake123]

the tracers look like shit because he is using night vision which means every source of light is exaggerated. also the tracers are red for the US troops and green for the Eastern forces because they use different igniting chemicals

[jonnyfilmboy]

I thought the complainers in this thread were complaining "in general" about the tracers. But yes, you are correct. In this video, the tracers are retreating into the distance and the combo of Depth of Field and night vision makes them out of focus (blobby) and larger than normal. Honestly, I think they look great.

[KhorneFlake123]

Yeah me too :D Especially when they ricochet!

[jonnyfilmboy]

Really, to avoid that, set the flyinheight to something around 700 or above. That way, the plane doesn't need to turn as hard, which prevents the wing from dipping into the turrets line of sight.

[jonnyfilmboy]

If you mean, is there a way to prevent the AI from shooting their own wing? No. Not the way it's configured now. Possibly by limiting the turning and tilting range on the turrets, but I don't know how to do that.

[ViperVenom16]

the tracers in arma 2 are totally fail

[bravocmdr]

Aren't they? red and green T_T really?

ArmA II dissapointed me with a lot of the stuff they should have fixed but didn't ._.

[ViperVenom16]

its the shape, they look like huge disgusting worms...

[bravocmdr]

That and there completely red and completely green and bigger then they should be... it's like im shooting freaking lasers ._.

[abkleo]

wats wrong with the shape?

u talkin about the huge calibres or the vulcan cannons?

[jonnyfilmboy]

I can't name one game that has good accurate tracers. Community altered tracers for Arma1 were good. They will be for Arma2 as well. Honestly, I think the tracers for Arma2 are pretty good right out of the box.

[Gurkmomma]

Project reality has very good tracers... its a mod for BF2 check it out if you want its really fun... and its realistic

[jonnyfilmboy]

Yeah, but then I'd have to play BF2 which is completely unrealistic. No offense, just not my cup of tea.

[Ome99]

then don't play BF2, i only bought the game to play the Project reality Mod, and thats what i did, serously, check the Mod out it won the Mod of the year award, and its nothing like the Original BF2, for example, usually when you play online and join a squad, if you dont have a mic to effectively communicate and co-ordinate with your squad, the squads would kick you out 90% of the time out of their squad.

[LILWALSHY66]

excuse me can u make a video on to get this mod working and how to install it, its the most confusing mod ive ever come across can u please help :)

[jonnyfilmboy]

You should write to the author of this mod, or read the readme. The readme is pretty complete.

[LILWALSHY66]

i did he does not respond and the readme is very sketchy no offense, but ty for feedback :) p.s i just wish somone would make a video on how to install it. :)

[jonnyfilmboy]

I advise that you wait longer. Also, there's an included mission. That should clear up any questions. If you are complaining that it isn't turnkey enough, I agree. It's not plug and play. But it's all we have at the moment.

[LILWALSHY66]

alright ill pray for somthing better to come ty

[qunniq]

youd be suprised

[theNemon]

Hehe, reminds me of COD4... only this time it's epic.

[bodunchar]

shoot first ask questions later (if there is anyone left alive).

gj

[dasrever]

dude all i can say is when is this going to be reddy for missons and attacks?

ps beutiful machine and hope the sound comes out good

[lylix123]

pls make a video how to get the plane ingame..

[jonnyfilmboy]

There's a demo mission now with the addon. Check for the newest version.

[ironroad18]

Neat, but the guns are firing from the wrong side.

[jonnyfilmboy]

I believe that this is because the script makes the plane fly clockwise, rather than counterclockwise. The script is a Beta, so there are a few things to work out like sounds, etc.

[ironroad18]

Fair enough, I'm just glad to see a decent script finally imported into the OFP/ARMA series, with an actual working plane and no cam-crated rounds and noises.

I know a lot of people started AC-130 projects as far back as OFP Resistance, but most of those got shelved and or were limited due to the game engine and computer flying abilities.

[jonnyfilmboy]

Yes, all flying and most of the shooting was done by AI. I took the shots in the first person view. But everything else was done by the AI. Long time coming.

[narren2002]

@ironroad18

must be the FRENCH model :D

Damn Nice all the Same.

[ad25014715]

Cool !
