and whens that tea mod coming out

[Mr_Shady]

Tea? We don't need no stinking tea! We need cheap, lukewarm cans of Red Stripe lager. Apparently the smoke dischargers on a Scorpion are the perfect size to be beer can holders  ;D

And the 30mm Ammo ready rack is good for bottles...

Just think how many bottles of cheap cider you could get in a Warrior... Piccie for reference.

How about a Warrior to follow up the Landy DLM?

[Mr_Shady]

I'd much rather see the Scorpion family (Scimitar, Striker, Sabre, Sultan, Samaritan, Samson, Spartan, Shielder, Stormer etc.) than the Warrior, even though the Warrior is a nice bit of IFV.

Could see a use for Schimitar (Recce), Striker (AT), Samaritan (Ambulance). Open season on Woofer - please correct me if I'm wrong.

The reason I push for a Warrior is 30mm Cannon with 7.62mm Coax (As per Schimitar), no AT capacity but you can lever 7 good friends in the boot...

FV432's and saxon's are still around, but they aren't as sexy...

I'd much rather see the Stolly before anything else

Arrgghhh so many question, I'll get round to answering them all later when I've got 5mins spare, but first off I managed to stay off the net and away from the Nam pack over the weekend (but not away from the pub) so on Sunday with a mf of a hangover I did some more on the landy, I've sorted out the rear texture where it was showing white and reworked the geometry and fire geometry LODs although I still can't shoot the guys inside through the open window  :-\, it'd be much appreciated if someone could suggest a solution this.
I've reworked the steering wheel texture but Texview won't open it, I just get an empty box and I can't remember what I did last time to solve it
The file can be found at:

P.S. the config is unchanged and I've got a funny feeling that the mass applied in the geometry LOD is the same as a Jeep (not 3050kg as it should be) cos I think I forgot to change it

Gonna try it now lilty.

Here we are, organising your next two years worth of free time...

You're all MAD  

One serving of spam with a side of on topic...

Is there a possibility of getting some kind of time frame for the Landy? And exactly which versions are you doing, maybe the 6x6 version   ?

I would be cool when you start on a opne version of the landy with a machinegun on top
And make it Desert colors

Me mad? Haircut sir? Haircut sir? How about you Cleopatra? Who let them walnuts in here? And they're walking! They're walking walnuts! I can smell radiators!
Time scales  :-\ at the moment I can only work on it at the weekends and then in between doing other things, like getting drunk   so I can't really give an estimate, other than to say I'm off work for 2wks over christmas so I should be able to get a fair bit done then.
As for versions, I'm planning on doing 110 Soft Top (one I'm doing now), Hard Top, Open, 110 Pinkie (SAS one), 90 Soft Top, Hard Top, Open and a 130 Ambulance, 90 & 110 Wolf (TUL & TUM?) as for a 6x6 version (I think their Aussie only, known as Perenties?) I reckon I could do the model for you if you can dig up some reference pics, you'll have to do the textures though, not my forté I'm afraid, but since you'll be retexturing the normal landies into that wonderful Aussie camo pattern it shouldn't be a problem - it'd be nice to have some Aussie units running around alongside some Brit units and a Les Hiddings unit   (it may look like shit, but it's good tucker ;D)
As for the open Landie with MG is this what you mean?
http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/vehicles/landrover/landrover3.html - The Rapid Deployment Vehicle, in which case then yes I'll be doing it, gotta work out how to add weapons first though.
I'm also hoping to be able to do different  paint schemes too, plain green, green and black camo, desert and UN.

As for what's next, I got a hankering for a Stolly but I suppose it all depends on how long it takes to finish the Landies, although I would have though/hope the remodelling for the different versions wouldn't take too long cos most of it should stay the same, frontend, dash seats, etc.
My fingers are knackered now after so much typing and my brain hurts from thinkins so much.

[DeLiltMon]

Posted more for my reference really, but why should I hog all the land rover pics!
http://www.neatstuffmodels.com/landrover.html - they're models but there's a nice top down shot of the Gulf War pinkie.
http://www.landroverclub.net//Club/HTML/Perentie.htm - bit on Perenties

BTW what do you reckon on the side lights on the updated beta?

[woofer]

The sidelights are in the right place and the model is still cool...

[DeadMeatXM2]

Sweet work lilty - spot on m8

the windows have to be defined in the config somehow... not sure tho...

[DeLiltMon]

Thanks guys, I used the demo jeep for reference  for the geometry and fire geometry lods and that just seems to have empty spaces in the fire geometry where the windows are, I'll just have have a look at a different model and see how that's done.
Did you have any joy in finding out how you change the rate of accelleration in the config after?

[Messiah]

whatever this is - i reckon its really needed for any kinda Kabul Patrol Missions as the para's used it a hell of alot.

[DeLiltMon]

Hmm :-\ not sure, it could be a Mercedes Unimog, the rear light clusters look like standard Mercedes comercial units. Have you got any more pics?
