RHS Escalation (AFRF and USAF)

[war_lord 934]

What does "wrong" mean when it comes to shades of tan? Do they only come in one specific shade of tan? I am not too familiar with them.

Well, there's shades of Tan, and there's also Flat Dark earth. In photographs the Elcan is roughly the same color as the Block II rails, RHS's version is quite a bit lighter. The WMX Insight is a bronze color in reality, but is very yellowy in the mod. Now color is a subjective this, and if the team thinks they have it right, I'm not going to argue the matter. But I figured I'd bring it up.  

(Oh Ineptaphid, check your emails)

[CannonSong 688]

 

I like it  :) Good story. What is the uniform you are wearing in the picture?

 

•  

 

Haha, thanks! I believe that's the Woodland M93 from GREF, one of the pro-tec helmets and ALICE bags from CUP, and the body armor's just from the base game. Was going for an early-90's delta feel.

I'm a sucker for the Blackhawk Down look, what can I say? :D

true enough-but as these scopes are to fit with the newer SOF style stuff, and those guys just seem to love customising and painting weapons and helmets and anything else, they could have been painted. But anyway-it doesn't really matter because they are awesome scopes and I am finding it hard to use anything else :)

Don't forget the endless amounts of books they seem to churn out as well  ;)

[b00ce 160]

I'm loving the HK 416 with the classic sights, I just have a couple critiques to make them even better.

 

• The front sight blade is a hair too wide. They're pretty close to a standard M4/M16 front sight post.
• The shroud going around the front sight blade is too short, it should continue up and around probably a quarter inch.
• If possible, something more similar to the sight picture seen in the first image below where the shroud just meets the inside of the peep would be awesome.

 

Thanks for all the hard work.

Yeah, it's too light in my opinion too.

[frostie12345 48]

Hey Guys,

 

is there anywhere a site where i can find all Classnames of RHS ?

[i3r4ndon 16]

Yeah, it's too light in my opinion too.

 

Agreed as well, the coloration on both the flashlight and Tan Spectre seem off. Flashlight seems to orange. As for the Tan spectre I can't quite explain it, but it looks similar to the olive one so maybe its to green? :huh:

[infrareddimming 195]

Most of the SOPMOD block II accessories are in flat dark earth (FDE) I think, with minor differences in tone. That said, I think WMX does produce a bronze-ish model of the 200 flashlight. Ingame it does look a little bit too orange though. I do hope to see lighter (FDE) textures for the Peq 15 though. Right now it's too dark.

Please make sure that the photos you show us as reference for colors have a proper White Balance and no color filters applied. Thank you :)

Dont worry, apart from the insight 200 one they mostly have neutral-ish levels  ;) The picture of the raider might has have a slight warm tint to it, but I mainly used it to illustrate the FDE color and the minor differences between tone levels.

[arkhir 135]

Figured I'd drop it here, for missonmakers use.

Thank you guys for granting us this possibility: I was very happy to see how many amunition types you've got in your configs. It is possible to achieve so many awesome and historically accurate combinations with little scripting. It's also worth noting that with RHS armour system tank battles can get much more interesting than in vanilla A3; especially with ammo-adjusted tank loadouts, so not every hit will penetrate.

 

I also recommend using the possibilities offered by RHS to achieve authenticity during missions; most tanks placed down from the editor have modern Russian loadouts with modern Russian shells that can and will penetrate Abramses no problem. If you want to sealclub those Iraqi T-72s with your Abrams like they did at the Battle of 73 Easting, better put some ZBM-9s or 15s in their ammo racks.

 

ps can't wait for T-55 release with next version of GREF ;)

 

Customizable RHS AFRF Vehicle loadouts:

 

Aerial variants (Includes S8 and relevant pods, S5 and pods, Kedges, gunpods, etc.)

Keep in mind to add these in certain order to achieve good look on the wings (e.g. no heavy load on outter pylons, etc.) - I recommend experimenting in real-time using Zeus code exec, as it is not yet clear for me what is the order in which the pylons are being filled with added magazine classes.

Actually, no, because I'm working in Zeus most of the time :(

I feel left behind in the developement, BIS pls update.

[bad benson 1733]

any chance those rails used on the SVDM and some of the AKs could be hidden, when there is no scope on the rifle?

 

otherwise it totally ruins the iron sights which is a real shame. pretty certain there should be an animation source to handle that. i defo did that for a rifle in the past.

I don't think so, since rail itself is compatible with ironsights. Also, you can always press ctrl+c (next CM mode) key to dismount whole NPZ rail

RHS Team, Well done. That looks just bad ass, I never knew that you guys made an animation for binos when your turned out in the M1A1. 

[infrareddimming 195]

guys, are these normal RHS sounds, or is this a bug on my end?

Those are the new sound shaders BIS created which makes firefights sound a billion times more awesome. But BIS had multiple people working on implementing this new feature, whereas RHS only has Laxemann I think. I'm sure the weapons will be updated in time (I think some of the pistols already have the new shaders implemented). We just have to be patient.
