Title: Small aircraft
Post by: Vulture on 02 Dec 2003, 18:57:19

hi
would it be possible to make a small aircraft, 2 engine with cargo hold for atleast 16 plus 2 pilot. It is to be used for a parachuting aircraft. Needs to be able to do tops 300 game speed. im not sure what aircraft fits this description. but i notice everyone wants bigger planes, i tried the C-130 but it is to damn big LOL.

it sounds possible just find a plane that fits the bill and a addon maker to make it

There is a twin engine plan in the Finnish Defense Force mod.  I don't think it holds 16 but otherwise it's what you want.  And the whole mod is only 100+ MB :)  But it is definately worth it.

If you don't like the C-130, don't try the AN-124! It can hold more than six squads of men, but it's a nightmare to fly, as it's rolling capability is fairly low. A civilian idea for the jet you need might be a leerjet, it could even be converted to look like a military aircraft, although this would be very Unrealistic

It's a retextured version of FDF's Piper.

I reckon we need more of the small aircraft (preferably STOL) and less of the gigantic ones like the An 124 and C-5. OFP isn't meant for these huge beasts that are unable to land on the short runways on the different island's.

An An-2 Cub would be perfect for the Ruskies and the Resistance.

yes there are to many huge aircraft, need smaller ones. what is the link to the piper?, it might suit my needs.

 I think we're going to make a small civilian plane before too long.. no plans yet on what it's going to be.. but I don't think that it will hold more than 3-4 and the pilot.  

 any suggestions on what planes to think about in that size range.. something like a government agency might use as a small jet to cruise a few people around in
