Blake 0 Posted February 26, 2003 The pages are open and we are making great progress with various units. But voluntary workforce is still welcome since the aim is to make the FDF mod as complete as possible.

cam0flage 0 Posted February 27, 2003 The website that hosts the FDFMOD website is currently under maintenance. It will return online on 28th day, at noon GMT +2. Also, other news are that Una has finished texturing the Finnish MT-LBV! Maybe this would inspire him to post some screenies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unatomber 0 Posted February 28, 2003 Hmm, I already mentioned that I finished texturing the mtlbv in my post about hawk armament. For a screenshot, go to fdfmod page, its there on the news, just wish that maintenance break would be over already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.A.L.L 0 Posted February 28, 2003 How about TRG-42? I think Finnish army is using that too. I'm making one, but it's my first model and I don't know if i ever finish it. PS: Those pictures looked damn good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insomnia 0 Posted March 1, 2003 TRG-42, aka TA-2000, is just entering in service within certain units, so it would certainly be a nice addition, but it just means more work for the team (unless you do it, of course!. Excellent work on the website! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cam0flage 0 Posted March 1, 2003 What's the correct designation for TRG-42 in FDF use anyway? I've heard some versions like KIV-2000, TAK 2000, etc. Does anybody know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikkoFin 0 Posted March 2, 2003 OK, it would be great if you would remove discussion from here to our own forums. Thanks for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cam0flage 0 Posted March 2, 2003 I think it would be wise to keep posting news and such also here, because I'm sure that a larger audience can be reached through these forums. Don't get me wrong - I would love to see more discussion at the FDFMOD website forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 0 Posted March 4, 2003 Couple of random shots to keep thread up... Fur cap, grey: RK 62: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cam0flage 0 Posted March 4, 2003 Also worth noticing is the green beret of the FDF ground forces in the RK62 picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theavonlady 2 Posted March 5, 2003 These look really impressive. Do the rank patches on the arms really green backgrounds on actual Finn arctic unforms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted March 5, 2003 I wish BIS would give a green light to Kegetys to release his Winter Nogova Island to the public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Army can'ts spare for detachable winter sleeve badges Anyway they are worn normally on left sleeve and it will be changed as we finish more models. All is still beta there except maybe RK 62 rifle.

tykäri 0 Posted March 5, 2003 Nice touch with the sissipipo (guerilla cap for non-Finns ) and the fur cap, but shouldn't a Finnish soldier always wear the annoying-as-hell steel helmet while in combat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.o.R.S.u 0 Posted March 5, 2003 Looking good, are you going to make those rank patches so that they can be changed with SetObjTexture -command (just like Nam Pack 2 Huey nose art and BAS D&R pack unit patches)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaegers etc will wear white-camo kevlar helmets. Naturally in real life all frontline forces including officers would have helmets. Currently planned/implemented headgear... Winter units: Jaeger Officer - m91 green fur cap Jaegers - kevlar helmet MPs - kevlar helmet with and without plexiglass Reservists, Res Officer - grey fur caps Sissi Soldiers - sissipipo (black wool cap) Special Jaegers & Para Recon - Balaclava cap ('mikkihuppu' Summer units: Jaeger Officer - m91 camo cap and/or green berets Jaegers - kevlar helmets MPs - kevlar helmet with and without plexiglass Res Officer - old pattern camo cap Reservists - steel helmets Spec Jaegers & Paras - kevlar helmets and/or red berets Note that NCOs will wear same headgear as enlisted men. Norsus idea of adjustable rank badges sounds good. I think it would be great to implement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonder 0 Posted March 6, 2003 Will the RK62s have steel magazine textures or the plastic "waffle" textures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 0 Posted March 6, 2003 Steel. If RK62 m76 will come out in the future it might have plastic ones. RK 95 has plastic mags anyway and option to launch rifle grenades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
