[Sakowski 1]

Sorry for the late respond, Max, Is it that good enough to not be true it was made for a unit... Well then I will ask him if he can post here that he made it for 18th Pechotni Pluk and then given permission for PCDF.

EDIT: He said he will post here soon.

Thank you for taking the time to post here. Now we can all move on from this silly permissions debacle.

Indeed... Good luck with PCDF hope FN FNC will be a good asset to your mod.

[GD Mast 0]

That's great news! Looking forward to the FNC's.

They are the main rifle of the Western equipped troops and it looks reallllll nice :)

I'm not sure what you mean by silly or debacle.

However, if you disagree with my moderation, I would appreciate it if you would take the time to comment via PM or Skype.

Thank you for the time to comment. Like I said, there is quite a gulf between someone saying they made something on the internet and a verifiable truth. Also, like I said before, this information would be useful if there was a challenge made. Now I know who to contact if something happens further down the line.

I provided the username of the person who made it which is AtomicTim in my first post with the gun and I never said I MADE it but a member of 18thpp and even provided a screenshot of it being made in a 3d program which Tim provided to me, not sure how it can be that you can't trust people with that kind of stuff... Its normal that its not stolen because there is no FN FNC made in ArmA and if there would be one in the net it wouldn't be free to download but to buy and people that do their guns they mostly put their initials somewhere on the weapon...

Either way lets end up with this perhaps its all done?

Did you manage to get the name of the modeller and permission from him personally? Assuming that Sakowski does not have this man's power of attorney, permission must be provided by the artist in some form. Being a modeller and knowing other modellers, the usual thing is not for a modeller to give out his max file to non-modellers for them to open in max for some reason... of course a non modeller has 3ds max... and then to tell them to share it with whomever for use in whatever.

In the PM I got, it says "For credits you can simply add 18th Pechotni Pluk Tactical Realism Unit".

Sakowski, who exactly within your unit made this model?

AtomicTim, it was directly made for 18THPP all from a picture so no need to worry about the copyrighting can even get him to post here that he made if you so want Max Power

Hi...I made that model for the 18THPP and Sakowski has perms to use it...and now PCDF does too

Problem (which never existed actually) solved, the creator is known. No content stolen at all so we move on now okay?

Hi everyone,

The FN FNC looks impressive, contratulations atomictim!

Gossamer, is there any possibility to have the FNC with thermal sight?

AsierB

Second this, perhaps more FNCs in future update (Holo, rails, laser/flashlight, thermal scope, SD, NV scope, dual scope, sniper version without front sight and with bipod, plethora of versions with russian attachments)

I know you need models, and frankly, BIS assets from a2 are rather low qualtiy compared with others, but perhaps you could get permissions for these attachments, or maybe use

A2 OA assets as they are higher quality. (by assets i mean GLs, scopes, holo, etc.)

[gossamersolid 155]

I can't get OA or ArmA 2 assets as BIS hasn't released them. So I rely on A1 assets or assets to my friends in the community have provided me. I could always ask for more, but I already have enough on my plate right now.

I'm in the process of packing up to move back to my school town, so I'm a bit busy, but 1.07 is going to be uploaded and sent to the testers within 1-2 days. If there isn't anything major, then it'll be released.

[gossamersolid 155]

As promised, Version 1.07 of PCDF is now out. Downloads in the first post as per usual.

I'm shit at taking "posing" and "scenic" screenshots, so I won't bother :)

As requested by a few people, desert CDF troops are now available in both Eastern and Western equipped flavours. The desert CDF forces have only a handful of vehicles right now (BMP series and BRDM series, I believe).

The Russian Federation has been added to this version under Opfor. Keep in mind that they are not complete (Means some vehicles are missing, some are in the green paint scheme, some are in the BIS paint scheme still). These were included merely as a preview so you guys can fiddle around with them. Everything about the Russians can change in future versions as I haven't finalized anything.

In other news, I've accidentally binarised all my source models (besides my PCDF_Troops). So if there any model related issues, I won't be able to fix them for a long time because I'll have to take the source model I was provided and re-do all my current changes (which I don't feel like doing at this very moment). Note to self: Use SVN/GIT for PCDF next time...

[bars91 956]

Downloaded and briefly tested. Simply amazing!

Some screenies.

And some feedback(on the mod as a whole, not 07 update in particular).

What I did like:

Green paint of RF armor(i'm a sucker for olive/military green stuff/gear);

Basically everything a mission maker needs in one pack;

Desert units for some desert action;

Both west and east gear;

Custom weapons to slay opponents with;

Quality and amount of work done;

What I didn't like:

Su-34, M1, LAV in CDF colors(I know I can just ignore them but I'm a realism whore so...:p)

What is wrong(errors, bugs, etc):

Cherno:

Mig-29 - rear aileron(that IRL points the plane up or down) is panning in the wrong direction;

Mig-21 - wing ailerons are panning in the same direction(should pan in opposit, one up while the other down and vice versa);

T-62A - hull is plain green(should be camo);

T-64B - suspension not working;

T-64BV - suspension not working;

C-130J - gives error about wound textures upon first launch in editor(next time launches without);

BMP-1 - AT3 rocket still on pylon after shot;

Desert Troop - camo too colorful, clean;

West soldier - PASGT vest/ALICE too new(clean like just from factory) for second-hand gear;

RU:

Soldier - obvious CDF PASGT helmet, old VSR camo on vest/helmet, WDL camo on LBV;

Mi-17 - needs to be renamed to Mi-8;

Would be cool to have:

D-30 in solid green

New aircraft(Su-34, Ka-52 etc) in new grey paint;

Hope this helps to improve this epic mod at least a tiny bit. =)

I'll write those down, but I can't guarantee it will get fixed/quickly

T-62A - hull is plain green(should be camo);

I left a half finished texture in there by accident haha, whoops.

T-64B - suspension not working;

T-64BV - suspension not working;

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that, could you please elaborate.

C-130J - gives error about wound textures upon first launch in editor(next time launches without);

I think it had to do with the west soldier. It looks like my wound rvmat wasn't copied in.

BMP-1 - AT3 rocket still on pylon after shot;

I'm working on a solution to that right now.

Desert Troop - camo too colorful, clean;

West soldier - PASGT vest/ALICE too new(clean like just from factory) for second-hand gear;

I'm not extremely skilled with texture design, so I have a harder time getting effects like this to be there. I'll try to work on it.

Soldier - obvious CDF PASGT helmet, old VSR camo on vest/helmet, WDL camo on LBV;

I'm restricted to what I can do by what models I have access to. I wasn't going for anything really realistic, just something a little more modern looking as opposed to the egg shaped helmets with vanilla soldiers.

Mi-17 - needs to be renamed to Mi-8;

Just the russian one?

D-30 in solid green

All russian vehicles will eventually have the green/olive colour, just didn't have time to get it all done yet.

New aircraft(Su-34, Ka-52 etc) in new grey paint;

Do you have picture(s) so I can see what it looks like?

Hope this helps to improve this epic mod at least a tiny bit. =)

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

[bars91 956]

Suspension(I guess my english has failed) not working = tracks and dampers not reacting to uneven ground/movement start/stop.

As for des. camo textures - just desaturate them(will create immediate "a bit washed out worn camo").

RF soldiers - that was merely pointing out stuff. You have previously stated that your not going for realism with these.

Mi-17 is the export name for Mi-8. Therefore RF versions should be 8 and all the other ones would be 17s.

As for grey paint. Will post when i'll dig 'em up from MPnet.

EDIT:

Ok! Here we go:

I just want to say thank you for the releases.

Keep up the good work.

Looking forward to the next series.

you know some good motivational stuff :)

[markb50k 1]

Awesome, thanks for the new stuff. Although I think you ought to leave in the 2S1 even without the Arty working right. It can still work properly with AI shooting it in spawn-shell mode

It should still be usable if you manually insert it with createVehicle or put the classname into the mission.sqm.
