FAQ FOR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Expand)

 

What does this mod do?
* As said in the info/description, it adds a Russian faction fit for the 2035 era.

But RHS already exists, what is the point of this mod? Isn't this mod just a cheap knock-off?
* RHS is a total conversion adding 3 high quality factions (including the modern day Russian Army) while we mostly just focus on putting the Russian Armed Forces in the 2035 era, so it could seamlessly stand right next to the vanilla BIS factions (NATO, AAF, CSAT).

As you can see, both mods focus on fundamentally different re-enditions of the Russian Army.
We also try to keep it as close to vanilla and optimized as possible to assure good performance (polygon count, texture size like BIS units etc.).

My weapons are missing optics/sights!
* I am gonna assume you are on Steam, have downloaded our mod via Workshop and are using CBA/ASDG? If that is the case, you have the use the special ASDG config which is included in the \Arma 3!Workshop\2035 RAF subfolder, and replace the one in the "Addons" folder with it.

Do you plan on adding XY?
* We mostly try to stick to our own plan (which means for example unique counter variants to BIS vehicles etc.) and have already plenty of requests and suggestions. It's more than likely that the request you've made has already been asked (and answered).

Will it be compatible with XY?
* Most likely no. Right now it is compatible with ASDG and ALiVE, which were added due to the popular demand in the early days of the mod.
We simply don't have enough time or manpower to provide compatibility with every mod out there.

But you are more than welcome writing your own compatibility patches. 🙂

How can I support you?
* Feedback and perhaps a positive rating (if you liked it) and a Favourite on Steam Workshop, spreading the word, using our mod for missions/videos etc. will always warm out heart and motivate us.

If you want to go further, you can also support us financially through Paypal (link on the furst page). The money goes 100% into mod-related things like acquiring better models etc.

===============
1. DESCRIPTION
===============

 

2035: Russian Armed Forces focuses on adding a fictional "future" version of the Russian Armed Forces to ArmA3.

 

Great effort has been put into an attempt to seamlessly integrate them into the 2035 era of the Armaverse, so that the faction could stand right next to the others in the base game (NATO, AAF, CSAT).

 

Featured are:

- Our own uniforms, vests, helmets and gear made completely from scratch (models and textures).

- New vehicles and armor, ranging from T-14 Armata, Pancir AA launcher to the Kamaz trucks, Tigr and more. Tanks DLC features fully compatible.

- Usable for any kind of enviroment. Various types of camo for both ground units (Flora, Partizan, Surpat, Desert, Winter... ) and vehicles/aircraft (Russian green, Desert, Nakikda, Winter, Arctic... ) and so on.

- Russian weapon pack featuring new guns such as the AK12 (and its variants), AEK, Pecheneg, PP2000 etc. Marksman DLC features fully compatible.

 

We plan on expanding the roster, gear and armament with further versions. Same goes for some of the ArmA3 assets/placeholders that will be replaced in the future

Mod is is currently compatible with Zeus, ASDG and ALiVE.

ALiVE users: Faction name is "min_rf" (without quotation marks).

===============
2. REQUIREMENTS
===============

- ArmA 3

========================
3. INSTALLATION/UNINSTALLATION
========================

 

Extract the folder @Min_RF into your ArmA3 game directory and enable the mod in the launcher. Also put the Mindas.bikey into the core Keys folder.

 

- If using CBA/ASDG, you *MUST* use the "min_rf_wp_c.pbo" and the bisign from the ASDG folder, replacing the one in Addons - otherwise you will have no scopes. You also must do it after every update.

 

For uninstallation, disable the mod in the launcher and delete the respective folder.

Ouuh yes !!!!!  

 

I feel i can put the sudden ones in pause ;)

 

Thank you very much for sharing !

[bars91 956]

WOW thats cool! Downloading ASAP!

 

just wish you would have:

  -the gen3 AK-12 not gen1

  -grey air force paint instead of black

 

But anyway - keep up the great effort! RHS is all good and stuff, but this is "canon" 2035ish stuff and is more then welcome!  ^_^

[bullsh 22]

Normally I'm not a fan of futuristic factions but this looks very believable and I love the new custom gear! Great job

[DreamRebel 73]

Nice, it looks good! Great job. :)

[drebin052 323]

Got a few bugs to report:

• The Carrier Lite and Tactical Vest (except the Carrier Rig; that fits perfectly) have some clipping issues with some vanilla uniforms, like the NATO combat fatigues and the coveralls:

 

• The display names for the uniforms should follow the same convention as the vanilla ones or at least have a unique suffix at the end of each one like this; Fatigues (Digital flora/Rolled-up) for the one with rolled-up sleeves, or Fatigues (Digital flora/Gloves) for the uniform with gloves. It's a bit difficult to differentiate uniforms from each other in the arsenal or when picking them up from a crate since they all share the same name and picture so you won't know what you're wearing until you actually equip the uniform.

 

• Naming convention issue also extends to the SVD12's suppressor, although this one can sort of slide since it has a unique icon. 

 

• Your weapons don't seem to support optics from the Marksmen DLC, so you can't mount any variants of the AMS or Khalia scopes even with CBA's Joint Rails enabled.

 

• The AK-12's GP-30 can load the 3GL's 3Rnd grenade rounds.

 

• Lack of a fire geo LOD on all of your weapons so dirt will spray when a bullet ricochets off them:

 

 

But otherwise this is excellent stuff. Always great to see more mods using the same context as the vanilla settings.  :D

[General Kong 148]

These look awesome!, are they compatible with zeus?, and are you planning to release these on steam workshop?

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

Awesome work! Definitely checking these out. :)

[Krieger26 15]

what a great looking mod! Nice and simple, but great quality. Will it eventually be zeus-compatible in the next update?

[Plinskin 23]

Great MOD. thank you for your work.

[Guest]

Thank you very much for sending the release our way :)

Fictional 2035 Russian Armed Forces v0.9

Marksmen

[corporal_lib[br] 396]

I´ve tested those  Ak-12s on virtual arsenal, and all 3 variants have misaligned iron sights... is it just me, or nobody played with those guns without an optic? (I´ve noticed cus the DMS upper red dot sight was misaligned too...)

 

A compactibility with ASDG JR would be nice too ;D

 

Besides this and those issues reported drebin052, it´s a fine idea of a complimentary unit for the 2035 storyline =) Many kudos, Deathstruck

 

cheers!

[nikiforos 450]

So I guess there is no reason to download since I don't own Marksmen DLC.. right?

[Deathstruck 375]

Thank you guys for the report and suggestions! We'll immediately look into them. ZEUS and Joint Rails compatibility will definitely come. :)

 

So I guess there is no reason to download since I don't own Marksmen DLC.. right?

 

You know, come to think of it, the addon doesn't really use any of Marksmen guns or optics apart from features. But I was told it was required anyway and have no idea how to disable the DLC so couldn't test it myself.

 

Try to download them and tell me if they work without them. I'll fix the (misleading) description if they do. :)

[DmitryJDM 1]

upload to Steam Workshop?

[Guest HellGhost]

Hi,

 

Thanks, finally a mod to increase the presence of Russian Forces (out of the really good RHS : AFRF of course).

 

But just a thing, like you just write it :

 

Vilas - AK12 model and MLOD

 

I think that can be better by using the Toadie AK-12 models and textures instead.

Better rendering in all terms.

Just my opinion of course.

 

Nice mod, and thanks for your work !

[nikiforos 450]

Seems to work even without Marksman DLC , I will do some more testing later tonight!

Can you be a bit more specific about the iron sights? Maybe even post pictures? I have just tried all 3 weapons ingame again and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the iron sights, at least on my end. :)

 

Also just figuring out how to properly set it up on Steam Workshop. :P

[Deathstruck 375]

Added a Steam Workshop link to the first post and updated the description.

[alred 12]

Hi!

Very nice mod! One thing I wanted to ask is whether it is possible to make backpack empty. Because when I go to the arsenal, I get it filled with things like magazines, smokes and granades, might be usefull, but many people I play with and myself, like to fill in backpack with own load out.

[haleks 8212]

...it doesn't take much time to empty a backpack in the arsenal before exporting though...

[pulstar 55]

Just a quick Q, has anyone made a 3rd gen AK12 for Arma 3?

[altis 12]

I have to ask... can they please be configured to work with Alive, how about a CSAT replacement option :D

 

Great work, thanks!!
