This are some sceenshots of the instalaza final model. Comments are welcome.
Enjoy.

[Tovarish]

Looks great, I look forwards to the mod.

[Aaron Kane]

That looks VERY good! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif Keep up the good work!

[Miles Teg]

Looks nice! Interesting how you have it as a rifle instead of a regular rocket...but from the pic it seems to work well. How many rounds will he carry? You might want to include a pistol of some sort (one of the ones already in Resistance) just as a backup weapon. You can add that in the script but it would be good if he had that secondary weapon.

Any idea when this addon will be available for download. It's kinda hard to comment more on it until we've played it and tested it out.

im65? I am not familiar with this weapon. Link?

[KDF]

looks exactly like the original US WW2 Bazooka but with a bipod..is it related?

[Jester983]

Wow looks nice. Keep up the good work. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Aculaud]

mmmmmmm, this looks very destructive http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Major Fubar]

Looks nice, but has anyone ever heard of this weapon?

I tried a web search and FAS, but no luck.

[dkraver]

Found this (http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Falklands/Argentineweapons.htm#90) on it look under 90mm Recoilles Rifle

[Vepr]

What thaa.. What kind of a weapon is that? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

[Major Fubar]

Recoilless rifles were predecessors to modern rocket launchers. The projectiles have no onboard fuel...in effect, it is a cannon to be used by 1 man. To reduce recoil they use 2 main types of systems: either displacing a solid mass of equal weight to the projectile out the back of the gun, or by venting gasses out the back.

Not many countries use them any more, mainly replaced by LAWs etc., but still in use in many guerilla units and thrid world armies.

[Major Fubar]

Oh BTW, the topic tilte says finished: where can we download it?

[Paratrooper]

I hope you release a version for the resistance side, it would suit them.

[B@ZOOkA]

when you carry it on the back will it be that small its on your pic?

[catkuba]

to Paratrooper:
The finished model has been made for Resistance

to B@<hidden>:
As we all know OFP works with solid models. I mean that the model cant be animated and as you say , in real life , the launcher is shorter when someone transport it, and its opened to fire. This cant be done in OFP

You`re right in your observation Major Fubar , this "old crap" uses the "gas ventilation" system. I must say i have been part of the Argentinian Army and a lot years ago actually i was able to fire it more than once. Also i should say that this rocket launcher was the standar weapon of the minimal unit in the army in 1982. Now , our country ( a 3rd world one ) has replaced these for new equipment , all provided by the USA

If it isn&#39;t third world it will be soon&#33;

What else do you have in the works? This looks quite promising, more weapons or units perhaps?

Well, unfortunatly you&#39;r wright, things looks like shit here.
You can chek the link at my signatures to see the proyect.

To all who asked: The model &#39;ll be released with the capmaig, hopefully 12/2002.

Unfortunatelly this country is experimenting some sort of decadence process and will be this way for a long time unless we its habitants awake and take control of the situation. But there`re persons (inluding myself) who still believe in this country and will do anything that`s necesary to revert the situation. Here`s a frase that will synthesize my thoughts
"When our fatherland is at risk , everything is allowed ...except , letting it perish"

Sounds kinda revolutionary

[Eviscerator]

just a quick question, in the gif in your sig is that a british frigate after being hit by an exocet? as if it is its in pretty bad taste

Why? Any worse than any other countries vehicle being hit? I don&#39;t get what you mean...

[moerty]

i think that frigate is the only one they managed to take down until the french gave in (surrendered http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif ) and told the british how to spoof their exocet.

gives you something to think about, most weapons systems in use today are made by europe, which kinda means we have the ability to take on a particularly high tech army and win. *wink wink, nudge*

sweet rocket launcher BTW, i can&#39;t wait to try it.

[Eviscerator]

well a lot of people died on the frigates that were hit, it wouldnt be very tasteful if i put a screenshot of a dead argentinian in my signature...

Evidently , you dont like argentinians , this is not the firts post in which you try to change the subject of conversation. Luckly i don t have the same feelings for british people although i indeed lost many friends in the Malvinas conflict.
But in other way, you may be right about my signature ... if im hurting anybody , i apologize for that , if that`s the case i wont have a problem in removing that particulary gif.
As i said in other post it would be better that those kind of replies ( which are off topic and incisive ) should be private msgs. I don`t have any problem , as said above to treat those subjects as a normal person.
And i&#39;m all ears if anybody wants to discust or talk about this weapon (model)or any other that is in our project.

Salute&#33;

[Eviscerator]

i have no problem with argentinians, i am english and seeing a ship burning with fellow country men inside is slightly disturbing, same thing for an american to see the twin towers collapsing in a gif im sure they would ask me to remove it, no hard feelings intended http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

well, i gess i was wrong...hehe

[EBass]

Isnt the Charlie G A recoiless rifle technically? I think they should put in Milans. And please yes I agree, I think that is slightly out of order imho. I have no problem with Argentinians
but that sort of stuff disturbs me, mostly Im okay with combat pictures even pretty grusome ones although I dont think they have any place here, this is a game and we dont want to begin relating to real war really. But being burnt alive trapped in a ship is probably my second worst way to die (before being sunk in a submarine) I hate the navy, as there is no escape, I hate tanks as there is no escape. Please, no pictures of burning ships, they make me feel like throwing up

[Major Fubar]

OK, just a few nitpicks in your addon:

The ammo for this weapon only uses 1 slot, it should be 2 like other launchers, otherwise a soldier can carry 9 rounds&#33;

There is no unit associated with the weapon, which means it has to be added manually.

It feels a bit weird using this type of weapon as a rifle instead of a launcher, and also means the soldier can&#39;t carry a rifle with it.

The textures need more detail, it just looks like a solid green tube on my screen.

http://www.imagewiz.net/images/testdrive/imagewiz54120.jpg

OK, after all that negativity, I would just like to say that it is otherwise a very nice addon, and I hope you release an updated version.  http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[CapMorganCD]

Thanx for the feedback Major Fubar. We are already working on the texture, the "rifle position" and the unit (as you can see in the readme), but we forgot the ammo slot, we&#39;ll fix it ASAP.
Again, thanx for the reply&#33;

[Major Fubar]

Hey no problem...like I said, it&#39;s a good addon&#33; http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Intruder]

Very nice, like the sights.

It&#39;s got the same bug as the motar has when reloading from the prone position, but I guess thats a bug in the game.

Also, is there supposed to be that nice picture you posted, in the weapons section of the note pad? Because I don&#39;t seem to get it.

One other thing, do you have a date for the release of your next version? Cos I would like to upload it to our addons section, if you don&#39;t mind http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[dkraver]

Another little thing that i liked to see fixed. In the sight you have a 100m and a 200m aim point. The 100m aim point works but when you target a target at 200 your shot goes high so that line should be moved a little up.

[CapMorganCD]

to Intruder: The problem of the reload can&#39;t be solved. maybe is a bug as you said.
Yes, it should be the same weapon... http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
Of course you can add the weapon and and other future addon to your spectacular site. You already have a mission from me there...hehe

We are also working on the ammo, the aim point and texture.
One thing that we don&#39;t know how to fix is the fire position. As we are using the weapon as a rifle so it can be fired from the prone position it can be also fired from the stand position. But we&#39;r trying hard to fix that.
The unit will be released whit the campaign, so you will have to put it manualy meanwhile. At this point, It will carrie a pistol to use as support weapon. We&#39;ll release an ammo carrier unit too (soldier).
We&#39;ll release a new improved version of the weapon in a week or two, because we are just a few guys working on the project and there is sooooooo much to do. Hope you understand. see you soon.
