I could be looking into it too much, but are the camouflage fatigues added in GREF as of late a hint of a Takistani/Middle East faction later on?

wouldn't be much of a hint if they told you, now would it?

Is there ever going to be more variants for the Humvee such as the TOW, Avenger, Medivac, MHQ, and Spec ops version? I think the Humvee would work way better then the all the different variants of the FMTV, y'all have in game atm. Now I know the FMTV doesn't have a combat role like the Humvee does. But that's the thing there more non-combat role vehicles then there is combat role vehicles, If you compare it to the Russian side. Anyhow keep up the good work!

I guess it would seem that way.

Forgive me, I forgot about the multitude of questions and requests you gentlemen receive. Keep up the good work!

no worries, but the reply will always be the same, for reasons that we have stated so many times before, so there is no reason to actually ask anyways.

I think acu is too shiny. It doesn't make too much difference on ucp but I retextured acus and shine is more obvious on  darker camouflage patterns. To solve that, I added rvmats to my mod(haven't released that version yet) and changed only specular maps.

Before and after:

Spoiler

Specular map that I used:

Now my questions are; will you change that smdi, and if you won't, can I update my mod with new rvmats?

Damn, really? I released first version of my mod months ago and I'm truly sorry for that. I thought RHS content was allowed to be retextured with proper credits. Taking it down now, I should've asked first

I'm pretty sure he just means the new version with the updated RVMAT, as it requires modifying the model. I don't want to speak for anyone on the team (And please correct me if I'm wrong), but I can't imagine a config that uses hidden selections to change the texture, and is dependent on the original .pbo, would be a problem.

certain authors can choose to allow or not re-texture of the original content they did. do remember that in accordance to our NoDeriv EULA, the "legal" stance is that we tolerate re-textures.

In any case, at the bottom of the said EULA page, you will find a list of content we choose to enforce the mentioned EULA for, as per the desire of their respective authors: http://www.rhsmods.org/page/EULA

 

we could indeed choose to disallow any sort of hidden selections, but that would make our own lives harder. Please don't force our hand here.

nope, read above

Well, technically, if he made a texture completely from scratch and substituted it using in-game functionality, it wouldn't be a derivative of any sort. That said, I've never seen anyone actually manage something like that unless the UV was extremely simple.

You'd still be using the model for your add-on in some way.

 

Anyway, RHS is providing so much high-quality assets for us and allowing retextures that we should gladly accept this one exception and honor their wishes.

I'm not sure of the exact mechanism involved, but as long as it's not redistributed with the addon, it'd essentially be a completely independent work that happens to use RHS as dependency (which is not prohibited even by an ARR license). Even if it is, if the model is not modified, it's simple redistribution. Again, that's all assuming the texture doesn't use anything from the original as a source, which is pretty unlikely unless the UVs are set up specifically to make that sort of thing doable.

Wow, brilliant. Wasn't expecting that so soon. :) Seriously though, it's great that fixes and improvements are being released so promptly.

also technically that is not possible.

as always, for some stuff we could choose to disable hiddenselections altogether, and then this would be a moot point... ;)

Thanks! These MERDC textures are excellent!

[RiverX_PL 33]

This GPS system is amazing. Could that be integrated in other aircraft? I am thinking for example integrate it into MFD and add rotating map, kinda like in DCS A10C

That's fair, I'm not about to question clima_x's wishes.

And congrats on the release, I'm looking forward to enjoying all your hard work. Thank you to everyone on the team.

@Singh Aram see the head tab in arsenal. they added deer headband.

[Strike_NOR 898]

Hey guys!

 

Congratulations on your release! That's a pretty meaty changelog there! Can't wait to try out those PhysX improvements, sounds and jet/heli map functionality!

 

Thanks for putting in so much hard work to make this high-quality total conversion mod for us :)

 

I guess all the hard work of people asking "when is next update?" finally paid off. (  ).

[FlyingVolvo 13]

Spectacular work like always. Congratulations on the release!
