Gallery / Pointe Du Hoc v1

« on: August 26, 2012, 10:50:02 AM »

Built by Pepsimann (ID: 17576)

June 6th, 1944      D-day      Pointe Du Hoc

Allied Objective: Several 105mm batteries that are in position on a cliff, to fire upon the landings at Omaha and Utah beaches to the west and east. The US Army 2nd Ranger Battalion is in charge of landing on the beach code named: Pointe Du Hoc, at 07:00 hours to scale the 100ft cliff and use their explosives to disarm the Wehrmacht of these guns.








Spoiler alert!: The Guns never were installed into the position making the ranger’s mission in vain.

Off Topic / Apollo 11 Moon Landing Anniversary Passed! July 20th! 43 Years!

« on: July 22, 2012, 06:37:11 PM »

People have pretty much forgot about this! It is the 43rd anniversary of the first moon landing! 3 men were propelled into space from Earth to the Moon by the Saturn Five Rocket. It had a computer on board that didn't have the computing power of a calculator! I'll give more info if you all want it. Isn't it amazing how just about no one even remembered/ cared?(NOT EVERYONE, but many). but Poor Buzz, Neil, And Michael :/

This was a monumental success. And any of you people that say the moon landings were fake, all of us believers would love to challenge all your points!

"Track the mission:" here!

^When it was the 40th anniversary I tracked a lot of that live. Remember, I will post mission info if anyone really wants to know more about it.

I have to host my old Rocket Server now...

Suggestions & Requests / Item Idea: "Supply-Drop"

« on: July 18, 2012, 05:38:26 PM »

I got this idea from a combination of things, and from Pepsimann. What if there was an item that could only be used in vehicles (A one time use only item, or an item that has a looong respawn time) that was basically a large box (Size of a 4x4x4 baseplate with a large version of the parachute). What it would do is fall to the ground slowly with a parachute on it, and when it lands, the parachute dissapears. Then, to open it, you just shoot it with an item (Or it opens when it hits the ground. There could be different types for this). And what is in this is an ammo pile, medicaequipment with say a + on the model, things like default guns, or a certain amount of items of the host's/admins' choosing through server preferences (This would look like the menu for adding weapons for teams in a TDM). There can even be a smoke emmitting box, or a vehicle drop box. Basically anything, it would be toggle-able.

Another way you can do this (But I dont think it would work that well) is to make it client sided, so that it drops when you hit a certain button.

This would be open to possibilies, like different models (Boxes that could break apart on landing, or a "Tube/canister/whatever you call it" type of object that opens up, like used in WWII) and the things I listed above. I would prefer the traditional wooden crate type of thing.

Another idea for a prop would be a box with a differently colored parachute that, when it hit the ground, would bust pen and a bunch of letters (Fake kill bricks) pop out of it. This would basically be the emitter from the explosion.

An example of one of those "Tube things" I was talking about with an example of items in it-


An example of one of those crate type things (Small)-

This could be used for rescue RPs, TDMS, seiges, and anything else you can dream of! Thanks for reading long post!

Suggestions & Requests / Request: Aircraft variants

« on: June 22, 2012, 07:25:44 PM »

I do not know if you need the permission from Kaje or Strato, but here is my request:

Biplane Variants:
Trainer: A 2 seater biplane, with the pilot sitting in the back seat and the passenger in the front seat. Meh we can deal with out
Fighter/ one seater: A one seater biplane with slightly increased speed (Possible mounted MG) OR a pilot and a back gunner.
Wing Walker: A two seater biplane: Pilot and wing walker, sitting on top of the wing.
(No name): Two seater, no wing seats.

Twin Mustang
Twin Mustang. a 2 pilot plane. Person on one side controls the plane, and controls half the MG's. The other pilot controls the other half or bombs (IDK)


Thank you for reading this! If you can do this, or help with this, PLEASE PM me!

Suggestions & Requests / Aircraft Speedometer.

« on: June 21, 2012, 12:20:17 PM »

The title basically says this, a speedometer for aircraft, or just any vehicle in general. If possible, could this measure Bricks Per Second? And I would like it to resemble Stratofortress's P-51 or A-10, when it says the speed in letters numbers in the corner. Thank you for reading!

Suggestions & Requests / Airspeed Indicator, Attitude Indicator and Altimeter

« on: June 18, 2012, 07:10:27 PM »

Many of you have seen the compass mod, it is the little circle that tells you which way you are going. What if there were two other instruments to aid us in flying, especially formation flying, Raping, and overall realism! It would also make it possible to fly off of instruments in Blockland.

The Airspeed indicator would indicate how fast you are going (Blocks Per Second). The Attitude indicator would show the aircraft's position in relation to the map's horizon. The Altitude indicator would indicate how high up above sea level the plane is (In BL's case, how high above the altitude of SLATE in blocks)

An Airspeed Indicator:

Altimeter:

Attitude Indicator:

What I propose is that there is a toggle-able circle (Like the compass mod, and about the same size as the compass) for each of these instruments (They don't have to look exactly like the ones in the pictures, just close enough to know what it is). Thank you all for reading!

Suggestions & Requests / "Smoke Canister"

« on: June 18, 2012, 04:00:16 PM »

If you have ever been to an airshow, you know that performers have smoke canisters on their aircraft that make lines across the sky. I thought it would be really cool to have one of those in Blockland. Im guessing it would probably work like stratofortress's planes when they have White smoke from light damage, only the trail would be longer and stay around for a tad bit longer.

Some examples:


(Just look up Geico Skytypers, Sean Tucker, John Clatt, Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, or any other airshow performer).

Some of the ways this would be useful is for
A)Entertainment
B)Rps (If you wanted to)
C) To see someones maneuvers and learn from them
D) Formation flying, and to make adjustments and corrections
E) Just about anything else you can imagine!!

Note: This would be an ITEM, a "Click and spray" item

Gallery / B-17 F Flying Fortress (Pictures of new stuff coming soon)

« on: February 21, 2012, 11:20:11 AM »

B-17F Flying Fortress
Built by SailorMan, with helpful critique from his clan BNFB

You may remember the topic I started in September, when I just started the plane, but now I finished it. I put a few months work into this build, although I didn't do any work at all on it in November-December.
I am aware it needs better nose art. It had some, but I had to change it. Also, constructive criticism is allowed. However, please do not say that the bomber is too cramped. It is made be like real life.
There are many events in this, and I tried my best to showcase them for you all.

Exterior:

Note: The engines are off, the gear is down, and the bombay doors are open.
Note: The engines are on, the gear is up, and the bombay doors are closed.
Bomber with contrails.

A shot of the tail, with the markings of the 8th Airforce
This is what the engine looks like with the engine cowl removed. (Bad angle, sorry)

Crew Positions/ Interior.

The Nose: The table is the Navigator's table, and the thing in the front is the Norton bombsight.
roosterpit: Pilot, CoPilot, Engineer/roosterpit turret position. (Every one of those buttons does something FYI, and turret is behind me in the picture above)


Bombay, with the catwalk and an example of a bomb.
Radio Room: Radio man's position (I am aware that a real B-17 doesn't have a "basket for the gunner." Its just so that you can crawl up there and shoot.

Ball turret: Ball turret gunner's position (It opens up).

The Waste: Waste gunner's position.(Red ramp is the switch to open the windows)
The tail is self explanatory.

Also, the plane  can drop bombs >:D Thanks for checking this out!

Suggestions & Requests / 1981 DeLorean (DMC-12) Car MODELER NEEDED

« on: January 30, 2012, 06:45:25 PM »

Well, it has been asked time and time again: Can anyone make a DMC-12 DeLorean? Nothing special, not even the time machine. Maybe one that has working doors. (Would it be possible to take the script from Strato's landing gear and apply it towards doors? So that the doors open when you hit the light key or something?).
Once again, I'm NOT asking for the time machine, or time travel, or any stuff that happens after you hit 88 MPH. (Maybe a license plate that says Outta time)

Here are some pictures-

Clan Discussion / BNFB: An AVIATION and Building Clan. Thank you all!

« on: January 07, 2012, 09:17:42 PM »

Thank you Pepsimann for the logo!

History

During World War Two, there was an American fighter squadron called The Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodni . The squadron was made up of P-51 Mustangs. One of the battles that they proved their worth in the battle of Y-29. They were truly a great, talented group of pilots.

This clan is an aviation clan. We focus on honing your skills of flight, and proving our worth, just like the Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodni did, only with Dogfight servers, TDM servers, aircraft builds, etc. In this clan, I hope to gain a reputation of having many plane builds and great dogfights.

Gallery / 2 B-17 Flying Fortress Builds (Slow progress >:/ )

« on: September 25, 2011, 06:19:57 PM »

Hello, this is my first vehicle build ever. I made it a little under a year ago, but never felt like posting pics until now. I am aware that the plane is square, I didnt really think too much about that when I build it. . .
PS I try to make planes as historically accurate as possible. If it isnt, please let me know.

Off Topic / Earthquake hits Eastern Coast!

« on: August 23, 2011, 03:23:25 PM »

I live on the Eastern coast, and there was an earth quake today. If you live on the Earth Coast or know someone that felt the earth quake, please share your experience/ how you felt. BTW it was a magnitude 5.9 Earthquake

Ill start.
I was kayaking today on LI and I was in the marina. Next thing I knew, the poles that the boats were tided to were shaking back and forth. I wasnt scared, but rather curious and excited. My grandfather was with me and he figured right away that it was from shaking in the Earth itself, hense we thought it was an Earthquake right away. It was very cool

Suggestions & Requests / German Aircraft

« on: June 18, 2011, 02:22:48 PM »

I know that there are a lot of aircraft requests, but I have one too.
Can someone make a German plane from WWII? It would be great for dogfighting Stratofortress's Spitfire.

Some German fighters from WWII-
ME-109
ME-262
Focke Wulf- 190
Komet

Thank you!

P.S. Can it smoke and go BOOM on impact?
