jerryhopper 286 Posted September 3, 2010 Thanks mate! This came in very handy for some video recording i had to do. its a great set of scripts! Here's my current list of favorite tools, which i use for video recording: Gcam Director multitool RTE Lost key Mando missile proving ground With some modifications ( i made addon out of some scripts ) i use these to record live battles and other video snippets. Proving ground has been very usefull for some airplaine bombrun shots. i got loads of usable material in minimal time, thanks to the reload/respawn of the targets.

Moggy 0 Posted September 10, 2010 Hi conKORD, thanks for this great training mission. Is it possible to add a couple more rifles to the next version of the mission? In particular, I'm looking for the L85s with the SUSAT sights. Here are the versions in question: L85A2 SUSAT BAF_L85A2_RIS_SUSAT L85A2 SUSAT GL BAF_L85A2_UGL_SUSAT I would try to add them myself but wouldn't have a clue where to start! Thanks again.

conKORD 10 Posted September 17, 2010 Hi. Weapon creator parses CfgWeapons and automatically adds to list every existing weapon. L85A2 SUSAT and L85A2 SUSAT GL is in "scoped rifles" section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moggy 0 Posted September 17, 2010 D'oh!!! So it is, I never thought of looking in the scoped weapons section...tis the realm of snipers you know where us mere mortals fear to tread. ;) Thanks conKORD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
