V-22 Osprey+UI concept for it

[knotty mulch]

It’s a tilt rotor so it can fly like a plane or a helicopter. The concept I made has a button to switch from mode to mode. It would be a fun addition that could maybe pave the way for some more planes that are kinda special. Hope yall like it!

Concept art⬇️

VTOL Mode

Regular Mode

The V22 has a gun underneath it

And I know it doesn’t have rockets but they would be fun

@umbral schooner could you take a look on the concept ui buttons and tell me if i should change anything

[quaint sequoia]

Daamn

Yeah This looks fun

[knotty mulch]

Thanks bro

[umbral schooner]

I would move the vtol-regular mode to the left

there's too much stuff on the in my opinion

and instead of the rockets I would put a button to choose which machine guns should engage the enemy

bottom - bottom turret
side - side door gunners
rear - the rear gunner

just to give more options to the Osprey gmeplay @knotty mulch

[knotty mulch]

Better?

[umbral schooner]

better, but what about this?

[umbral schooner]

cause like this, the frontal camera obstructs the button

[knotty mulch]

Wayyyyy better

[umbral schooner]

let me do a quick test

@knotty mulch

[knotty mulch]

Looks awesome!

[umbral schooner]

yep, can't wait to have it in game

[knotty mulch]

Could you maybe ask Doolwind because you have direct contact with him

[umbral schooner]

if I have the occasion to talk with him in i will

[knotty mulch]

Thanks

[atomic obsidian]

If I remember correctly is doesn’t currently but their was a plan to add hellfires on it at one point.

[knotty mulch]

Yeah they were going to do that with hydra rockets and glide bombs but they decided to upgrade the underbelly gun instead

[quaint sequoia]

How yall do that?

[knotty mulch]

I just screenshotted the game and put it into Goodnotes where I cropped and copied the buttons

I don’t know how doc did it but I would guess it’s on a pc

[quaint sequoia]

Nono the V22

[umbral schooner]

I screenshotted the game as @knotty mulch did, then I looked for a picture of the osprey but I couldn't find one without the background, so I downloaded one with the background and then I removed with the AI

[quaint sequoia]

How u put a osprey with the shadows and everything

Master photosher

[umbral schooner]

I doubled the osprey picture and then i edited it in Photoshop

to make it look like a shadow

[umbral schooner]

5 years studying Photoshop and Illustrator at school

[knotty mulch]

@dusk spear How hard would it be to implement the mode switching?

[dusk spear]

Great suggestion

[dusk spear]

Love these photoshops!

[dusk spear]

It's already in game!?

[knotty mulch]

lol

[dusk spear]

So I am thinking I automatically change mode

Make it like VTOL jets

and when you slow down to certain mode it transitions to hover

does this sound good? this way it can be 50:50

[knotty mulch]

Sounds good👍

[umbral schooner]

yes

i hacked jet attack move server and added the V22 when y'all was sleeping 😴

[umbral schooner]

this might be an option, so players can choose

[dusk spear]

haha thank you, this will make my life easier

[umbral schooner]

hahaha lol

[steel dove]

I was thinking something more like this

just the bottom gun

nothing fancy, sort of like the Seahawk safety but just a better gunner.

[umbral schooner]

idk

[knotty mulch]

Yeah but with the lack of missiles or rockets it’s kinda bland except for the vtol to regular

[umbral schooner]

we should have all the possible gunners that the osprey has

[steel dove]

I didn't argue against that

[umbral schooner]

it's literally a gunship

[steel dove]

I just think the only weapon it should have is gunners

[umbral schooner]

yes of course

bottom turret, ramp gunner and side door gunners

[steel dove]

The v22 can't carry AGM, Guided Bombs, armament of that category

The rotor blades would be in the way

[knotty mulch]

I know

I was just saying that the ability to switch from gun to gun would give it a fun ability and some more firepower to make up for the fact that it doesn’t have other stuff

[umbral schooner]

agreed

[umbral schooner]

that's why I put a button to change the gunner

at least you have some gameplay

[knotty mulch]

And btw they did test agms, guided bombs and rockets but they decided to develop the guns more

[steel dove]

I was thinking maneuvering the missiles was gameplay enough

[umbral schooner]

I don't think so, it's the same as sam survival

and it's kinda boring

just my personal idea tho

[steel dove]

I think the helicopter ground attack is already a bit boring with rockets because of the maneuvering of a hell

heli*

but the v22 having the vtol capabilities makes it a bit more fun

[umbral schooner]

true

but having more gunners is not a bad thing

[knotty mulch]

Yeah because all other jets/Helios have more than one way off attack

And only having one gun would kinda feel underwhelming

[steel dove]

it's not, I don't think having more is bad

it is a 360 attack area with a v22

[umbral schooner]

exactly

[umbral schooner]

also the V22 has a gun in the front of the osprey

the pilot or the co-pilot uses it

[knotty mulch]

Maybe one of the guns could be a slower firing gun with high damage and the others could be fast firing low damage to make up for the fact that it doesn’t have alternate weaponry

Like a grenade launcher and an m240

[steel dove]

The turret guns already have been nerfed

Both ground and air targets

[umbral schooner]

maybe the minigun should have explosive rounds

[knotty mulch]

And a gau 17 on the bottom

[umbral schooner]

the one on the bottom

[steel dove]

Then the Apache should have explosive rounds

[umbral schooner]

oh yeah the Mk19 grenade launcher, good idea

[umbral schooner]

not really

I mean, it depends

it can have both non explosive and explosive rounds

[steel dove]

Idk I think we shouldn't do any complications of guns or missiles quite yet, while I do know about the list I doubt the implementation wouldn't be for a while

[knotty mulch]

I was thinking it could be a gernade launcher on the ramp or side like a mk18

[steel dove]

yeah but explosive is way cooler

[umbral schooner]

mk18?

[umbral schooner]

but less effective against armored targets

and has worse ballistic

in real life the Apache uses both rounds at the same moment

[knotty mulch]

Mk19

[umbral schooner]

for example it fires a burst of non explosive rides and a burst of explosive rounds

[umbral schooner]

oh yeah sorry

[umbral schooner]

yes exactly this one

[knotty mulch]

I remember seeing it mounted to a chinook or some helicopter when I was at Oshkosh

[umbral schooner]

how many russians I k*lled in Broken Arrow with that thing

[knotty mulch]

It was in the mission where you had to get the dictator in cod 4 if you played it

[umbral schooner]

yeah I remember that as well

[knotty mulch]

It would be fun as the door gunner because it’s explosive and accurate to real life

And then the bottom could be the gau17 that it uses

And the back could be a mounted m240

[knotty mulch]

@dusk spear any word on this?

[dusk spear]

Looking for model now

[knotty mulch]

Where do you get all of your models?

[dusk spear]

Mostly https://www.cgtrader.com/

The best Osprey's are all editorial licenses though so I can't use them

[knotty mulch]

Dang

[knotty mulch]

Do you usually have to pay for them

[dusk spear]

Yes all of them

[knotty mulch]

Is this one under license

https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/aircraft/helicopter/mv-22-osprey-0b47d7a8-a723-4983-a7a8-08ebfed7c1f0

I don’t know if it is able to be put in code

Cuz I dont really understand that stuff

[dusk spear]

Yes this is one of two that I'm deciding between

My only cocern is the description: MV-22 is an attack helicopter developed by the People's Republic of China

Thought it was US developed...

[knotty mulch]

It is

[dusk spear]

This one is probably better - https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/aircraft/military-aircraft/v22-osprey-e7c1b1b7-cd77-42fa-96e0-8f118d2dae4e

I relaly wish I could use this but it's editorial - https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/aircraft/military-aircraft/v-22-osprey-us-marines

[knotty mulch]

Most of the Chinese stuff is American and other countries stuff but stolen

[dusk spear]

I might reach out to the artist

[knotty mulch]

Did you reach out to him yet

I don’t think the description is a problem because it’s an osprey and there is no evidence of China copying it yet

[dusk spear]

Yes I did, did not hear back. I will just use it

I think it's just mislablled

[knotty mulch]

Yay

Thanks Doolwind

@knotty mulch Osprey looking pretty good

The model is not great close up, but fine from view in the game. Super wish I could use #1198356322517782558 message

But is ok, can always find a better model for now, but it's pretty sweet

So I will get your feedback on v1, but I've managed to get it working without a transtition button. This keeps it super simple and I think it works really well, but you can tell me what you think when you play it

Needs some more tweaks then I'll release soon

Do you have any objections to it taking off from same spot as the seahawk does?

Also, I have the tilt going full 90 degrees when moving forward, let me know if this is good

[umbral schooner]

yeahhh boy we are getting the V22, what about a little sneak peak 👀

[knotty mulch]

No problem

[dusk spear]

Out on PC and Android. Will be out on iOS tomorrow as soon as they accept

[tall plank]

Cool

[tall plank]

🤩

[umbral schooner]

love It

[knotty mulch]

Maybe the mission creator can set where you want it to take off from

Like VTOL or STOL mode

Same can be used for F35 and Harrier

[umbral schooner]

does it have turrets?

[knotty mulch]

@dusk spear

I think the bottom gunner would be better

Because it has a side door but the bottom gunner is cooler

Maybe it could shoot at what ever is in front of it

Like this

[dusk spear]

hmm ok, I'll wokr out best way to handle this

coudl be a good reason to fly up higher

to give it more range/angle
