It will help to identify the ground units, too. Legend: = NATO Insignia = NATO Subdued Patch = CSAT Insignia = CSAT Subdued Patch = AAF Insignia = AAF Subdued Patch Plan:Retexture of : NATO – UnitsCSAT – UnitsAAF – Units Standard:Woodland camoDesert camoMulticam Planned features:Urban camosSpecial Forces camos The main goal of mine is to beware a more classical look, less futuristic. Timeline:Quality will take time - Because I want to do my best.But I guess it will be finished and released at the end of 2015. Infos:I will keep you informed about the progress all time, with pictures or/and videos. Epilog:I'll try to realize suggestions and ideas.But keep in mind - too many requests can also interfere with my work.If you have questions, or something is missing let me know. I'll support you as best I can. Thanks for your attention that´s all for now. GreetingsMcLupo _______________________________________________________________________ Work Progress: NATO: MultiCam finished Woodland finished Desert finished CSAT: Woodland finished Desert finished Multicam finished AAF: Woodland finished Desert finished To do before release: Millions of small things, tweaks, corrections, rework, etc.....and testing, testing, testing...to be continued! ;) _______________________________________________________________________ Edited October 18, 2015 by McLupo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McLupo 118 Posted September 21, 2015 Hi folks, a promise is a promise, and promises are to be kept. :) I said I want to keep you up to date, so here is some new info about the ongoing progress. For everyone who likes the Woodland BDU, like me,it is almost finished...for NATO.Some pictures: What to do next:CSAT config. is nearly done, retexture pending. A nice side effect will arises from the overall work, because I do not know any mod which brings together all factions, if I am not wrong.Every beginner can learn from it, because he has a package of all factions and all content he needs. ;) Have fun and stay curious!

McLupo 118 Posted October 4, 2015 Hi folks, today I am happy to present the headway of my work in progress. The NATO troops are almost ready, except for detailed work. NATO-Camo:Woodland camo (classical BDU)Multicam (modern Pattern)Desert camo (Tricolor) Samples: Woodland: Desert: The config and the first troops for CSAT Units with woodland camo are ready. I choosed a nice combination in modern "Digital Flora Camo" and the classical "VSR. camo".The digital Flora are used for the combat suit and the VSR for the equipment. It took a lot of time for searching and finding the needed paa´s for texturing.Despite of all the difficulties, because the equipment lacked in order to reach the look like of the NATO troops, I finished the woodland units and I tried my best to close the visual gap - hopefully?! Samples: Digital Flora and VSR: A note to the BI-Devs: Please improve the whole equipment (seperate harnesses, bandoliers, improved vests, holster, etc.) of the CSAT it will worth all the time you spent to it. :) But anyway, have fun and stay tuned for the next heads- up.

McLupo 118 Posted October 6, 2015 Hi alex, thanks for the feedback. It's always nice to have such comments as a confirmation that the work I am doing goes in the right direction and you like the stuff. :) Greetings McLupo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex150201 894 Posted October 7, 2015 New stuff is always nice to have and because I know how to do retextures I can understand that sometimes can be a little demanding and irritating. So I do want to thank you. I really don't like when others think stuff is simple to be made but they don't know how to do it themselves. Good luck and keep it going, if you need any help tell me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McLupo 118 Posted October 11, 2015 Hi! Just a side note: Everyone who deals with an addon is familiar with the procedures - you test over and over again, to provide a faultless work. Here I noticed once more how effective are the camouflage pattern. The camouflage patterns are not just a gimmick, but have an effect. The picture shows this impressively.The texturing is fun, but with a serious background and gives the player the option to select his troops depending on the terrain, too. Have a look Especially from a distance you can see the effect. I wanted to say that... :D Have fun! Greetings McLupo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McLupo 118 Posted October 11, 2015 Hello all! Hello to my most loyal supporters, I want to reward you ... :) Seriously, I thank you for your true interest and would like to give you the opportunity to choose a camouflage pattern for the AAF.I am unsure which one would be the best outfit for this faction, but it should be a flecktarn. Now it´s up to you...Which one would you prefer? Woodland: German Flecktarn Danish Flecktarn Desert: German Wüstentarn Danish Desertcamo Thank you for your continued support. Have fun!

kendar 65 Posted October 12, 2015 As we are talking of fictionnal units, i think you should keep doing the way you like it... but If i vote, i choose the german one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McLupo 118 Posted October 15, 2015 I really like the AAF uniform above all in game Hi Alex, thanks alot. :) Will you make seperate replacement configs like one for nato one for AAF and so on? Hi yevgeni89, thanks for you inquiry. I am often asked for a replacement pack and I will do it later on. At first I will finish the whole mod and after the release I will work on a replacement pack, because at the moment, there is still a lack of knowledge to do it, but I will do it definitely. Please pardon the inconvenience. :) Greetings McLupo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
