The M2 is not finished i guess? Look inside the barrel of the weapon (the orange part).

I pretty excited for whats coming in the future!

Edit:

I think the iron sights maybe need a fix -> look at the picture (C8 using a carry handle, it looks the same for the c7)

The sights of the underbarrel grenade launchers also cant be used at the moment.

I don't get these Ironsight, like you have them on your pictures...

I don't have a carrying handle if I remove my ELCAN - am I doing something wrong?

And concerning the GL ironsights, its the same for me.

znooptokkie · December 31, 2012

Theres an ammo box for the carry handles and the ELCAN sight in the editor. So you can remove the ELCAN and put an carry handle on your weapon.

Look for Empty -> Ammo -> CAF Optics Crate

Edited March 30, 2013 by Znooptokkie

Revoluzer · April 14, 2011

ok, thx for the quick answer

Is the carry handle not issued with gun/ part of standard equipment?

ohally · March 14, 2010

Both the carry handle and elcan are rail sights. The C7, C8, C9 are all issued standard with a C79A2 ELCAN. Carry Handles are not issued by the CF but I put on in as most of the guys I know have purchased one.

Reference Carl G:

That's the loaded round, fire it, then have a look.

66mm rocket should be an easy fix, its a hidden ammo type as the M72A6 is a 1 time sue weapon.

The skeleton errors I believe are coming from the helmet. The chin strap is still configured for ARMA 2, there are many new model selections for ARMA 3 which I still must implement.

GL sights are known already, I'm still tinkering with them.

I see your using the DEV build. I am not so I may not be able to replicate some of the errors. I'll see what i can do.

Cheers,

Yeah, i noticed the barrel is emtpy after a shot, just thought the orange color might be a texture failure or something. But the units itself works nice i dont get any error messages ingame and im having my fun with the mod.

:ok:

Kozure · March 18, 2013

Has anyone developed any scenarios which use this mod? I'm working on one myself but I'm such a newbie I'd be embarrassed to have people play it - it would just be bare bones. It's my first Arma3 scenario.

A section of Canadian forces are en route from one fire-base to another in Hunters (rough RG-31 Nyala-substitutes) when they are caught in an ambush. The beleaguered Canucks must fight their way out of/through the ambush and either return to the base they began from or to their destination base.

It's a very basic design, very few triggers or links and scripting. I'm a big believer in learning to walk before trying to run.

You start in the middle of the firefight, fight your way through, and head home. You have the option of trying to pursue the ambushers if they flee.

I've added Canadian forces from the CAF mod and made custom load-outs for the OPFOR so that they are dressed in civilian clothing and are poorly equipped, with a bare minimum of ammunition and add-ons for their weapons.

I'm also trying my hand at using the Base population module to populate the two CF bases, as well as adding a mortar artillery module and a close air support module.

I'd love to see a scenario done by an experienced scenario designer.

[edit]

I've finished the very simple mission described using the CF equipment. It was my first Arma 3 mission build, so not very polished, but fun to play with CF gear. I ended up abandoning the civilian garb for the AAF-proxies - none of the various civilian outfits looked suitably "Afghan" - and just went with a mix of various older-looking military uniforms.

Can anyone who served recently in the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan shed any light on what would be carried in the cargo area of the APV (RG-31 Nyala) in terms of equipment and ammunition? I'm going to clear out the default cargo of the Hunters I'm using in the mission and put in equipment more suitable for Canadian operations.

I'd like to create a more in-depth patrol mission in future, so I want to get a relatively accurate equipment and ammunition load-out for the APVs.

Would you be willing to send me the mission files? I believe you have my email. :P

Cpl_Acosta · February 27, 2013

I served in the US Marines for four years and I wanted to say that this mod is amazing, I love the recoil of the weapons its not overpowered like base ARMA3 weapons. Its great that Canadian Forces are in Arma 3 already, and amazing work it is great to play as other superpowers other than just the US!!!

Kozure · March 18, 2013

Heh, sure thing, Onchas. As mentioned, it's pretty bare-bones, no actual objectives other than surviving the ambush and heading back to base, and more intended for MP co-op, but I'd be happy to send it to you. I'll just polish it up tonight after work and send it over.

I simply forgot them....

In other news, Thanks to Alwarren and his FHQ M4 Source Files I've been able to get he M203 sights working and properly zeroed. The reload and hand animations on all rifles are now working smoothly and look proper and the machine guns have been sorted with hand positions (reloads still need work)

my next major move is to examine the prospect of 2 fire modes for the C9 and C6 machine guns, Bi pod folded and deployed producing less prone recoil with the bi pod down.

Awesome Ohally! Is there any chance you can get the iron sight to sight straight? It is a bit off to the right (?) at the moment.

We love this mod!

do you have 0.2 installed and running?

Can you provide a screen shot?

xxghostxx132 · March 11, 2013

when you open the config browser, scroll down the list on the left look for cfgWeapons, double click and it will expand a list of every weapon in the game and all addons
just in case:

Weapons:

C6GPMG

C9A2

C7A2

C8A3

C7A2_M203

C8A3_M203

M72A6

Ammo

220Rnd_762x51_belt (C6)

200Rnd_556x45_Belt (C9)

30Rnd_556x45_NATO (C7/C8 Red instead of Green Tracers)

30Rnd_556x45_T_Stanag

The M72A6 is self contained and shouldn't require any ammo in a crate.

Uniforms:

"CAF_TW_Uniform_CADPAT" - Temperate Woodland (Full)

"CAF_TW_Uniform_CADPAT_tshirt" - Temperate Woodland (T-Shirt)

"CAF_TW_Uniform_CADPAT_roll" - Temperate Woodland (Rolled)

"CAF_AR_Uniform_CADPAT" - Arid Region (Full)

"CAF_AR_Uniform_CADPAT_tshirt" - Arid Region (T-Shirt)

"CAF_AR_Uniform_CADPAT_roll" - Arid Region (Rolled)

Helmet:

"CG634" - Arid

"CG634_TW" - Temperate

Optics:

optic_elcan - C79A2

optic_carryhandle - iron sights

I was going crazy looking for the Ammo (Trying make generic autoriflemen for US and UK troops and i fell in love with the C9A2 as a SAW ). Thank you so much.

I'm hoping to push an update this week with the fixed Grenade Launcher sights and hand positions. Watch and shoot on that though, it's pending real life allowing the time.

I'm also planning on putting out a re-skin of the ka 60 to be similar to the CH-146 Griffon for use with the CAF units. For those about to have a realism shit on this thread, I have two things to say:

1. It's a place holder

2. Canada rented Heavy lift choppers (Mi 17) for the mission in Afghanistan, sooo it's not that far fetched.

Nice mod. I'm having problems with compatibility with another mod. When I turn your mod on, it disables my ability to equip a NV or TWS from the mod pack by Uncertain for any rifle. Any ideas on fixes?

to the best of my knowledge this is a common issue with the way A3 does sights. The weapon needs to list all it's compatible sights in the config. because the Canadian weapons do not list the NV and TWS from the pack you are usuing as compatible, they do not work.

At this time I wont be making them compatible, however it is likely certain packs will work with CAF.

I think he means this. The sights are not lined up.

I see... This may have been fixed already with the hand placement. I will look into it again.

Im using the FHQ M4 pack, which works with the Uncertain NV TWS pack regularly. But when I turn on CAF, it no longer it equipable. So your mod is actually modifying another mod somehow.

same answer...

to expand, the C79A2 ELCAN and Iron Sights each classify the over compatibility of themselves for all weapons. this is so they can be used with the A3 weapons as well. Without essentially teaching you how to mod the game, because the sight pack your using does the same thing for it's own sights, CAF is over writing that. It's an issue that is not solvable without re-writing the CAF pack, or the sights pack your using to incorporate all sights, by all addons makers.

As I said before, I wont, at this time, be building CAF around other packs. so this error will be unfixed for some time.

If you want to do your own workaround.

Create a new config.cpp

with this:

class SlotInfo;	// External class reference
class CowsSlot: SlotInfo
{
linkProxy = "\A3\data_f\proxies\weapon_slots\TOP";
displayName = "$STR_A3_CowsSlot0";
compatibleItems[] = {"optic_Arco","optic_aco","optic_ACO_grn","optic_hamr","optic_Holosight","optic_carryhandle","optic_elcan","add new sight","add new sight","add new sight"};
};

make that into it's own .pbo file and ensure you launch it after all other mods.

under the compatible items list add any other sight class names you wish to use.

Good luck.

Colehogs · April 10, 2013

I'm not sure if its my current mod setup or if anyone has noticed that CAF 0.2 some how turns the tracers for all the MX alpha standard weapons to green when there supposed to be red.

Its not a big problem, the rounds still chew up Opfor like they should, just wanted to pointed it out if anyone else has noticed it.

That said this is an awesome mod and I'm loving 0.2. Five stars :)
