C 17 Globemaster

Hey guys.

You know how @ Al Basrah we have that odd looking civilian cargo plane from Special Forces randomly parked @ the USMC Base?

Well, I think for a future release that it should be replaced with a static of 2 or 3 of these guys.

Having them parked side by side on the side of the runway will give the base a real authentic look, me thinks.

I figured it would sort of look like this

It would be a static, so it just has to be modeled+textured

Nice idea mate but things like that can wait....(in my opinion) i think all the other gear should be sorted out and polished before people start moddling things that have no real purpose apart from look good.

Nice idea just have to wait a little

Yeah, once they've cleared the backlog (rearming the factions, finishing off the brits, etc) they may start adding things that dont affect gameplay, but increase the reality of the atmosphere.

I'd happily let the Yanks have Basrah so we can be pulled out.

Yeah well if they did pull out all the troops from Basrah they would get sent to the nice holiday destination of the Helman Province. I'm sure they'd prefer Basrah

Back to the Subject i think Guys

*On Subject* The Plane on Al Basra and from SF is a Antonov-125, Little Brother of the Antonov-225 and is in Capacity terms the same of a C-17 but are more Numerous being that they are Civilian craft too and as such have no Side but on the Devs are busy no not busy Extremly busy trying to get us 0.5 out and other things so if they do decide to do something like this expect it past 1.0

Thanks for bringing the forum back on topic.

I'm not saying it should be done right away. I said a "future release" for a reason. Something the devs can keep in mind to add to the mod.

IIRC the plane on the Airport in Basrah is there as the plane to move the Iraqi Security Minister when he is extracted
