WW2 Mod

Welcome to the WW2 thread. Here you can find out what's being prepared next for the WW2 Mod. If you'd like to post a comment please go ahead. If you have any suggestions or complaints I suggest you send me an email at [email protected]

**NEWS***
11 May 2004
-> The WW2 ship pack is no more! Hail to the WW2 Mod! That means we will no longer be releasing ship packs, but mods with new systems, weapons etc. Of course there will be a few beta versions of the mod released for you people to get a first glipse of the mod. Also we've now got some new members on the team!!


**INFO**
If anyone would like to help create WW2 planes and join Rayak and myself in our efforts then contact me. If you're a new modder then I'll help any way I can, but a basic understanding of how to make mods is required.

If you want to request a plane or any other ship then send me an email including 4 or more photos from different angles of the ship. Optionally you could also send the stats you'd like the ship to have. DON'T just send a ship name and expect me to go hunting for the info. That's not the way it works.

**MODS AVAILABLE**
The WW2 Ship Packs available are (newest to oldest):
WW2 Ship Pack 4
WW2 Ship Pack 3
WW2 Ship Pack 2
WW2 Ship Pack 1

Ok WW2 fans, the A6M5 Zero is almost ready. It should be posted either tommorow or the next day if all goes well. For the next plane I was thinking of making a german plane. I'll let you know which one I'm preparing when I begin making it. Also I'd like to pont out that the next WW2 ship pack will have a couple of changes as regards to prices. The X2000 will cost a few million without the weapons. With the weapons and stuff the price goes sky high. The official WW2 planes will be cheaper but not as powerful as the X2000. This way it's more fare. Eventually I'll replace the original FL ships, but not for a while yet. That's all for now. More news in a few days.

I've sent in the 3rd version of the WW2 ship pack which includes the A6M5. Rayak and I have desided that we will no longer release individual plane mods, as it's much easier and simpler if you all have the ship pack. Also, we're considering making a few custom weapons to include in the next ship pack, based on WW2 weapons (what else ). First I have to figure out how to make weapons though .

You guys dig the WW II era. I have a favor to ask.

Will one of you create a flyable version of the WW II Cruiser Indianapolis? Or even a Batttleship. I thing it would be very cool to see a 9 ,Class ten 16 inch guns pointing at the enemy.

Post Thu Mar 18, 2004 12:01 am

I'll tell Rayak about your idea for the cruiser. He's the WW2 expert, I only make the planes . Anyway, I don't know if we'll be making any battleships yet. For now we're only making planes. Once we've got enough planes we'll see.

Post Thu Mar 18, 2004 1:12 am

Hey necrolord, you make ships right?, well could you make me the DDG-78 USS Porter?!?

Post Fri Mar 19, 2004 2:17 am

First off I'd like to point out that I'm no psychic. I can't read minds and I don't know much about WW2 planes. Rayak chooses the planes I'm to make, he gathers all the data and sends it to me. If you'd like to have a plane made, gather a few photos of various angles and a short description and send it to me by mail. I'm way too busy to go searching the net for photos of a plane. Also it may take a while before it's ready as the plane models and the mod file are made all made by myself.

more to the point

I feel you should get compensated for your effort.

Frankly, If you create a ship from my pictures, thats a ton of effort considering that the real Indy was over 600 feet long. this is a cap ship. You should allow me to "donate" to you....

Sorry folks, but it seems there was a problem someplace and the WW2 ship pack 3 never got to bp's mail box. Anyway, I'll send it in again and hopefully he'll get it.
Be patient!

Finally, the 3rd version of the WW2 ship pack is out. Up next is the Messerschmitt Me-109E-4! Unfortunatelly (for you guys) easter hols start next week, so I'll be away from my pc for about 2 weeks. I hope I can get the Messerschmitt ready before I leave. Anyhow, enjoy the A6M5!!!

Post Sun Apr 18, 2004 3:03 am

Hi all. I'm back from my hols, and I've started work on the Me. It should be out some time this week. That's all for now.

Post Mon May 03, 2004 11:00 pm

The 4th ship pack is now out, go download it!!

Post Tue May 04, 2004 1:29 pm

Post Wed May 05, 2004 12:03 am

I plan on making a british plane next. I'll post here when I know what I'm making.

Post Sun May 09, 2004 7:37 pm
