Title: Making an Amphib?
Post by: Sandman on 26 Jul 2003, 14:59:21

G-day

I am making a DUKW amphibious truck and need a little help with the config file.

I need to know how to tell OFP that it is an amphib?

Thanks

I'm not sure if cars can float, but use the line canFloat=1 and it should work.

Thanks for the help.

I have worked out that little problem but now i have to do the fiddley bits on the model. Ie: Winch on the back, rope coils, prop, Mirrors. To name a few.

If anyone wants to help?

Also, the model rides way too high in the water. Any ideas?

Yeah sure..

work on Geometry LOD and try :

+ or - Mass ; until the height is OK

or / and

work with Land contact LOD

+ or - height ; until the height is OK

A car can float. The BRDM can float. And the Humvee can kinda float (for some reason) it doesnt sink.  ::) ???
