New Zealand Defence Force Mod

[NZDF CRASH]

Hey guys NZDF Mod is back for arma2 and bringing in classic and current equipment with the purpose of representing our real counterparts in the New Zealand Defence Force.
Just an idea of a few things we are currently working on to bring to the arma community.
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/h290master/2-7.jpg
The Uh-1H Iroquois which is still very much a work in progress (70% Completed)
The Nh-90 TTH (Armed and Un-armed, armed version with 3 mag58s) (65% completed)
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/h290master/arma22009-08-0312-44-06-92-1.jpg
The Kaman Sh-2g Seasprite (90% completed)
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/h290master/arma22009-08-0312-43-35-99-1.jpg
The P-3K Orion with working FLIR and cams (80%)
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/h290master/arma22009-08-0312-42-48-51-1.jpg
The C-130H Hercules (w glass cockpit and interactive cargo system) (70%)
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/h290master/arma22009-08-0312-41-30-20-1.jpg
The NZLAVIII.
1NZSAS Units (50%)
NZDF Troops (40%)

Screenshots will come soon of the troop units

We are also working on the NZLOV (Light Operational Vehicle) in:
-Armoured and Un-armoured Variation
-Command and Control Variation
-Special Operations variation
-Ambulance variation

A couple of us are remaking the Unimogs for increased performance and better model accuracy.

+ The NZ Landrovers and M113s (Now Retired)

New Aircraft being created in NZDF Mod for arma2 are as listed:
-A-109LUH (NZ)
-MB-339 Aermacchi
-Boeing 757-200
-A-4K and TA-4K Skyhawks (now retired)
-BAC Canberra
-BAC Strikemasters
-BAC Vampires

and of course the Kahu UAV programme

New and Improved ships being created are:
-New Anzac Class (HMNZS TeKaha and TeMana)
-Inshore Patrol Vehicles (Brand New in the RNZN)
-Multirole Vehicle (HMNZS Canterbury)
-Offshore Patrol Vehicles (in development)

Only ships i will have moving are the Inshore Patrol Vehicles (IPV) and the other ships will be stationary to reduce possible sideffects of having large ships moving.

It is also quite possible that we will be creating some NZ units for a Malaya and Vietnam campaign.

Credits for equipment and vehicles go firstly to Rocket for his C-130H Herucles as a base, Cheyyenne Ah56 for the Sh2 and P3k and Modemmaik,Rico and Afro for the improved nh90 as a base.
Special thanks to the NZ Army Simulations center for their level of co-operation.

at www.nzarma.co.nz/forums we will have extra screenshots and content.

[Trauma.au]

Sweet, this with the Project Aus mod will make for some nice ANZAC gaming :D

[=Spetsnaz=]

Good Progress so far Crash! Keep up the good work!

[Yokhanan]

Looking great--especially aroused by that nice lookin' NZLAVIII. :D ;)

[Howard]

Ah, the TA-4K Skyhawk will be bloody sweet! I'm in desperate need of a two-seater training aircraft.

[Wire]

Heya, the NZDF is looking amazing, Im a kiwi myself.

one question, will the soldiers i.e. NZ Soldiers and 1NZSAS both be modelled units? or reskins of default BI models? and will there be a desert DPM and woodland standard DPM option?

[NZDF CRASH]

1NZSAS is a repaint of force recon units as its pretty stock standard for special forces in both nzdpm and desert dpm. NZ soldiers will be custom modelled units in both dpm options as well as CTTAG if i get around to doing them

[Azimuth]

All looking awesome, especially the LAV. Any idea if there is a group working on some decent steyr models?

[mankyle]

Rocket from USEC

[NZDF CRASH]

[NZDF CRASH]

does canada use any uavs of this size abs?

[Abs]

Nah, we have a different UAZ. ;) Thanks for asking.

Abs

(PS: You guys need any UV mapping done? I have some free time, and can help out on something small-ish.)

[NZDF CRASH]

im having issues with my computer and 3ds max atm so i may take you up on that offer, the kahu is the size of a rc plane so its quite small in reality

[Abs]

Catch me on MSN in order to send me the file. I'm currently doing the LCAC right now, but ought to be able to finish this off for you over the weekend, if the model is done, that is.

Abs

[NZDF CRASH]

[[XDF]Kanga]

[AASE]

[NZDF CRASH]

Just a few screenshots of our m113s which the NZ Army used from the 60's till late 2003 when the NZLAVIII suceeded them.

I still have to give it a weathered look and do a few model changes. Am somewhat keen to do a version as shown in the picture below.

[Black²]

[R0adki11]

nice looking M113, will you do any other versions?

[NZDF CRASH]

i'll do a few varients of the m113 like ambulance and also one covered up in bushes

[Snoutmaster]

When I first saw those M113 I thought they were a Photo of the real thing then I looked more closely at the surroundings and realised it was in Arma 2 engine. Very nice indeed I love it.

[NZDF CRASH]

A few wip shots of the NZDF Pinz general service varient in maya that hoax is working on for us.
-obvious things need to be done would be texture mapping and optimisation of the models before I get them into arma2

[Azimuth]

I got the addon base and the 0.3 patch from the nzarma website, but they ask for a password when I try to extract?

[NZDF CRASH]

[r3volution]

[NZDF CRASH]

not exactly NZDF but a small side project for our neighbours across the ditch that will someday when the f-35 is actually finished will acquire 100 F-35C to replace their F18a/b and F-18F.
