L85A2 Release

Yeah I think he allowed anyone to use them as he gave out the files and said people are free to modify as they wish, just give credit.

Problem with that is we may end up with several different versions. I would prefer one version which is used throughout different British addons, otherwise it would be like OFP when we had 100s of versions of the M4 rifle.

I was using that as a reply to the previous guy saying if he can use it in his mod, so I think he is just using them stock.

[farside 6]

Not true. The flash hiders are a bit of a bugger to remove but they are removable.

I happily stand corrected, clearly didnt teach me everything in my weapons course, just out of curiosity would you say its easy to be done in the field?

[TymC 10]

Hi Kiory, been a long time :)

Just wanted to say this is a massive improvement over the old one, looks brilliant.

One adjustment if you could find the time to do it, this weapon has a dust cover on which when you fire it pushes open the dust cover, on your model the dust cover is closed. Just if you were going for perfection :)

This is how it should be when the weapon is fired, I don't think you could animated it (well it'd be abit pointless) so it being down all the time would make sense.

[Kaxii 11]

Yeah I noticed that too! Its probably best to model down as you are basically always going to fire your gun in arma 3 so we can assume that they have just left the cover down after cocking the bolt.

Is there anyone available who could help me write up a list of current British military vehicles and weapons in use?

PM me if you're interested.

Please tell us you're doing a full British forces mod! :D

Awesome if so!!

Also jdog made a Queen Elizabeth carrier for A2 I thought would be a great addition.

:)

[kiory 404]

I basically want to write up a list of weapons and vehicles that are frequently used on the field, preferably someone in the forces would be able to help me out immensely with this.

Reason I need help is that I don't have time researching for this sort of thing, and it would be easier from someone in the know who could guide me.

If your going to do vehicles or are considering it the viking bvs10 has been used out in afghan and i think would be awesome in arma

If Kiory teams up with STALKERGB for a proper BAF addon, they´re serious competitors for Make Arma not War ;)

That'll do nicely, cheers lads.

[tupolov 520]

Kiory,

Are you familiar with the RKSL site? There's a bunch of guys doing BAF modding there. http://www.rkslstudios.info/projects/seperator/uk-armed-forces-collection and here

Not sure if that interests you, but the guys there are well connected and get very very detailed information and research done. Plus they are a good bunch who are modding/config/scripting etc. Most are current/ex-forces too.

Join up!

[kiory 404]

I shall do just that Tupolov, thanks for the info, I'll see you there!

[Kaxii 11]

That link pretty much tells you them all, also here links to some of the stuff in use in more of a list form: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_equipment_of_the_British_Army

You'll have to find someone in a logistics department to know all the stuff used.

[NordKindchen 12]

A really beautiful wepaon that you released here!

However I found some issues:

The thermal texture creates artifacts when the weapon was shot.

The bolts on the upper gun have no textures of the iron sight

Also the model of the scope is really really nice work.

However the enterior of the scope doesnt reach that quality. First the reflection in the scope is more misleading than looking nice=( It would be better if it would move a bit (like a skybox).

Also I believe the standard scopes use some different approach for the interior. Because they actually achieve to have a round interior and some sharp markers.

The model looks superb in any regards but the interior of the scope needs a bit of work to be on par.

Just constructive feedback. Keep up the good work!

Best regards!

Ps: The sound for the unsupressed weapon is really good! But the supressed variant lacks a bit in detail. It sounds a bit...cant say how but it doenst fit well=/ Still better than vanilla supressor sounds^^

[kiory 404]

Thanks for pointing those issues out, I hadn't worked on them due to the variants I plan to work on in the future.

As for the scope environment map not moving, that's odd, because I made damn sure that it does...

Oh and the suppression sounds weren't intended for this addon, those are stock A3 sounds and I haven't worked on them at all, come to think of it, I didn't even add a suppression proxy, so I have no idea why it even works for you. XD

Yeah suppressors worked for me too, but IIRC they're 6.5mm suppressors and limit the gun to only fire in single and burst modes.

[Kaxii 11]

Sooooo any idea what variant won the next variant of L85 question contest thing?

[NordKindchen 12]

Thats funny because the supressor sounds different than the standart supressor...mh=)

Thanks for the answer!

Btw: Seeing the superb quality of your rifle I would be interested if you are planning on working on a machine gun? Because theres not yet a high quality mg avaiblable. Same as sniper rifles. All available addons are medium quality (still big respect for the time and work in it).

This is no "plsplspls make it" rather than a heads up on whats currently missing in Arma 3s modding apartment=)

Just interested in future plans!

Best regards!

I think RH is making a LMG pack which should be of good qaulity.

[serjames 357]

Question: Could you make a second Susat that was 2D ?

With my Track IR and I know a few of us use them in my brigade it's really hard to use 3d scopes, they actually make me feel slightly nauseous... Head wobbles all over the place.

So if you got a chance, could you create a "Susat - 2D" ?

Cheers
