no help then?

[Woolie Wool]

Ahh..but as you say yourself, this is what they THOUGHT it would be...I can see fro mthe REf Bible that some things were changed, or dropped.

the intro description mentiones a bomber - that doesn't mean that when work on the into ani actualyl started that it was still a bomber. Maby no one really cared. Maby that just put the model of the most detailed terran craft they had (Apollo)...

Or maby they did plan a bomber version...Strange that it wasn't in the game

The Apollo was going to be a bomber, but it was changed to a fighter. If you notice the selection screen in FS1, the render of the Apollo shows the guns and missiles switched around.

[TrashMan]

Don't see how that is proof of anything...I mean, switching them makes no sense!

How was that supposed to work? Having a plasma cannon for a secondary and fury for primareis?

[Cobra]

He meant the hardpoints were switched.

[Woolie Wool]

And really, when you think about it, the locations of the secondaries on an Apollo are ass-backwards because there's no room for missiles. However there is room for guns on those pods beneath the engine.

It's fed via magazine?

[Colonol Dekker]

That makes sense, Saying that, where are the rounds kept in an AH-64's mounted nose pod? I've been playing too much quake, no one person should be able to carry ludicrous amounts of guns and ammo.......



Except maybe a Royal Marine

[Col. Fishguts]

The primary/secondary hardpoints on the Apollo were switched because it was too hard to hit anything with the guns that far apart, IIRC.

[TrashMan]

The Apollo looks like it can handle a few more hardpoints

[Woolie Wool]

Whether you can really hit anything isn't all that relevant in a bomber, so the change likely came during the switch to being a fighter.

Yeah, well, dont remember me the Osiris primary...

[IceyJones]

hello together....are these maps somewhere available?! i really would need them for the cutscene as the apollo maps i have are not really sufficient for a high quality render....

thanks!

Should be at this location:

[Pnakotus]

The high-poly Apollo never made it into the Mediavps as it's for the port and not from FS2 Retail.

Project politics for the fail.

[Snail]

Well what's the point in including it if it's not going to be used?

[Turambar]

aww. i liked that texture :-(

thanks.....unfortunately the mapping of this one is not without errors i cant use them.....

[aRaven]

don't care about the engine glows... i'm using the Babylon 5 TC ones with some custom settings...they have much better quality and rock!

So why not put it in FSPort?
