This is looking great, are you planning on doing a rolled sleeves version?

 

I'm getting warm just looking at that....

hey mr. mikephoenix, on behalf of my unit. i would like to request if you, would look into the scrim again, please
apparently its too bowl like, and i am talking about 1.2 here. its seems to be that it was modelled around the old helmet.
its looks like the scrim is on a "shell" hovering over the actual helmet. if that makes any sense.

as i prefer to use scrim helmet, i would love to see these "fixed", soonish. so i dont have to suffer from useing non scrim for too long :P

that a side, the mod looks really good, looking forward to the next update.

come to realise that, it could get misunderstood

Just took a look at the new update. The face mask looks great, and I love the new scrim, it's pretty much perfect and not in need of change!

Really impressed with the effort to create a new UBACS. CUP has one that's very nice, but just a touch too wide for your Virtus and the 3cb Ospreys I want to use for missions. Can't wait for this to progress so I can start cranking out some BAF missions on the Queen's Altis hehe

I know this is asking alot, but would you be able to make the uniform with different makes of gloves (mechanix, Ockley)

Looking very good! I will be sure to get some more screenshots out with the new kit! 

 

Any plans to model the latest issue UBACS? It's called UBACS EP; the mesh centre is MTP, there isn't any padding in the sleeves, and the pockets are now velcro'd in a hollow square shape.

Anyways great work!!!

[domokun 515]

Now that this and the 3CB mods seem have matured nicely, has anyone ever created replacement config using these?

So that whenever default BAF appears in vanilla missions and/or community-made missions, the uniforms, arms and vehicles would be replaced with equivalent alternatives from MPX and/or 3CB.

What you refer to as 'patches' aren't worn on uniform. The Engineers one is actually the officers capbadge for their Berets the other two are Blazer Badges you put on civvie blazers.

 

The TRFs are almost correct, the R Signals one is actually 216 (Parachute) Signals Squadrons DZ flash, the actual Royal Signals one everyone else wears is alot smaller and similar shaped to the REME one.

 

Edited to add: Just for clarity, please don't put any of these 'Patches' anywhere near your addons uniforms if you want to retain real world accuracy. 

 

Mike asked for the TRFs to reference which corps I thought would be interesting to implement. The internet is a pretty accessible thing these days, if you want to correct it, feel free buddy.

 

They're just points of reference in case he needed anything more, it's his MOD. Frankly, I didn't see much on the combat fatigues (this is back when MTP was making an appearance and we moved away from the 95 kit) apart from a TRF and a specialty patch anyway.

It is his mod, which he wanted to be accurate - what you referenced isn't accurate hence the correction.

 

TRFs, trade/qualification badges and brigade flashes - what they are, where they are and how they are worn persisted throughout the transition from S95 through to PCS (MTP) both on the 'barrack' (read: old 95 design in MTP) and the blanking panels found on the lightweight jacket/smock/UBACS. This included when MTP was first rolled out in theatre when it was nothing more than MTP colours in S95 cut both shirt and trousers before transitioning to the newer first generation PCS cut of the clothing.

Few pictures to illustrate this, it's always been Corps/Regimental TRF/ISAF patch right shouder, Bde/Div flash/ISAF Patch and the Union Flag left shoulder.

 

DDPM CS95. OP TELIC

 

DDPM CS95 and MTP CS95, OP HERRICK. Lumo strip above ISAF patch on left Lt Col (same as found on cats eyes band, most likely worn on both shoulders)

 

MTP PCS, OP HERRICK. Lumo strips on both shoulders above the pockets

 

Idk what it is but finding and providing reference pictures seems to be quite enjoyable. In the name of Realism!

[GreyDog 1]

Lumo strips would be very good actually, good shout.

Coming in next update

 

 

[Redders 15]

Progressing nicely Mike; that ForeTrex is looking good!

[Flax 397]

Really nice work. Admin pouch looks great. Would love to see more variants with the single elastic mag pouches, the really tall, double stack ones just look a bit odd.

[wsxcgy 1960]

Would you be willing to add a wrist garmin in the NV or glasses slot?

[JonnyVCB 21]

Awesome work MP, keep it up mate!

[mikephoenix 1098]

coming soon also 

 

[Redders 15]

Looking good, Mike. Will you be doing the other two ECM sets as well?
