ok so I notice the H3 Hornet, ghosts and bipeds in the back. WHEN will this become a playable map?? just add a Chopper and it will be pretty much H3 on the PC. although some1 would have to work on the weapons...

Also @ WASP thing, looks good but I still don't get what the hell that bomb thing on the bottom is for. Is that an afterburner/engine or a bomb/rocket cuz in the old wasp you couldn't exactly use it...

also why havn't we made one of those in real life? looks feasible... not safe, yet possible

It is a model for a real life ref. My grandpa has worked in aviation and jets for years, building planes, he's gonna help with the project, it seems crazy, but he has REAL blueprints for it, they built one for the movie "The Island" it wasnt functional, but someone made real blueprints, and he has them.

It's called the Kancept, and I've sat on the real model before :)

thats pretty cool, sell that model to the millitary, and maybe someday in the future we will see microsoft wasp simulator.

lol... and it's not a "Wasp" it's name is the Kancept (can-sept)

Hurf Durf.

hes talking about the real life model, HURF DURF.
the real life one is called a kancept.

Be prepared to use a lot of thrusters, or directional vents, similar to those the Harrier (VTOL) uses. I see them fly over my house all the time. I suggest a multi-directional ventelation system, composed of 4 to 6 thrust directions, you can use a single mini-jet for this. You will not get it more than maybe 20 feet off the ground though. The bike will become too hot if you use inproper methods, and melt/burn itself till it either gets too hot for you to hold on to, or it will simply melt itself to the point where it shutsdown indefinately. An A-10 Thunderbolt II engine can roast a Ford F150 Crew-cab V8 aluminum engine block within 20 seconds at full throttle

Yea, it's planned to work in the ways as a ghost does. Like 5ft off the ground fast, replacing that extra 15ft up it could handle for extra speed

Being that low of altitude, you can cause a fire on grass, melt a driveway or road, not to mention how loud it is. It wont be legal to drive except around your own property. As for speed and handling, jets need speed to handle well, they won't handle very well without a good throttle control, so speed is a must, but consider the core temperature.

If you do not control that well enough, WHOOP! There is goes! There goes the lawn, and the house too..... =P

Now if you can get it to a REAL airport, or small-port (for casenas and leer jets, then your good to go, that ground cover is designed to be smooth, slick, durable, and heat-treated for jet engines and high friction from landings).

Dad used to work on jets as an engineer for the military, he also flew airplanes, I have about 8 hours of flight time in attack choppers and 12 hours of flight time in leer jets. casenas are easy, maybe 35 hours, will check tonight, my flight log is somewhere in my room =P.

lol go into the desert and do it xD i cant wait when u finish take a vid plox

take it ice fishing!!!! kill dem fishys!

I think any near future applications for this craft would be military only annyway, so I don't think runway is a problem.

I'm not building it, I just thought it be cool, a team of people who build jets are, so it won't be a prob I'm sure

If jetpacks are possible, I'm pretty sure that is too.
And for the record, jetpacks are possible.

Is that jet powered or is it just normal propellers? Youd want to keep ur arms in front of you the whole time... Ive seen rocket powered ones which look safer, but are more likely to explode and/or burn you to death

It uses propellers, and it is powered by an aircraft. engine.

k don't forget we're talking about the world that hosts telletubies with AK-47s, giant alien space-craft, supersonic hedgehogs, 6-legged plastic boxes with rods on top surviving a nuclear blast, and warthogs/jets hitting a wall at 200MPH and bouncing back 3 feet. welcome to the world of Halo CE :D

iHalo was discussing the merits of the Kancept IRL.

Its a Fan-ypack then =P

man all these vehicles are cool, anyone know of any maps that actually have them?

Ask around for beta maps. None of these vehicles are in finalized maps in the archives.

thanks. some mods on the mogoose would be cool. just throwing that out there

RE: H3_Hornet:

Last night I uploaded "Hornets Nest" - basic canyon map, with large sky. Give the hornet a fly ad and you see that the effects I edited make the entire hornet better (imo) than mangenko released ones - and the tags are organized into one folder (my re-tagging and re-release still had a bad reference to a flare). The sound is much much better, and I combined the engine light volumes with a light exhaust, plus a low speed flame (like a pilot light). The added effects I am sure will add, not detract from an awesome vehicle - great job mangenko/Martyn Lee Ball!

Also, using Bacon/Baturkins player animations, and edited mongoose from the other h3 sand trap, you can now have classic weapons heads up on the mongoose - with a little more tagging, I am sure you can place the weapon labels within the same animations and get it to work.

Maybe they may be of use to you?

i took my h3 warthog and reach textured it since the uvw's were the exact same. turned out pretty nice:

old.

New to me.

new to me :D wait a minute since when did the h3 hog have a middle seat?

is there a way to make the turret overheat like reach?

ftfy

was the mongoose thing directed against me?

Tires look great, but everything else, a bit fake.

needs a multi..

No, not against anyone, just an offering if it is of use to anyone. : ) since you said:

for you that is
dont speak for everybody

It's new to me too.
