halkrath 1 Posted December 2, 2006 I pray that you never have to go to war. Idiot. "Honouring" with a computer game. FFS. I'm sorry, I don't seem to understand the 'Idiocy' implied by you in the statment I made. Of course what I said is left to your own interpretation. But I was simply implying that it would be fitting to place something on the island that would show a mark of respect for the actual conflict and seeing that it is the 25th anniversary next year and this mod is trying to recreat the conflict virtually, we should be reminded that even though it is a game, REAL people lost their lives. BAS achieved this in their Addons, namely the PAVEHAWK and the inscription inside one of their bird's dedicating it to the memory of fallen Parajumpers. Since the mod is based on a real confict, surely it's only right that the mod pays a mark of respect to those who did die in the conflict and those that are suffering as a result of it. I was trying to be respectful, I guess that concept is simply lost in these forums sometimes. I understand your point. My guess is, their respect being paid is by re-creating the conflict as it was, it is honor alone, for those who fought in that conflict. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadron 0 Posted December 8, 2006 As an ex-soldier who has lost mates (very few thankfully) during conflict, I think Tankieboy's point is that this is a computer game...... Not really a way of paying tribute to the dead. And maybe a tad insulting to say it is, just a humble ex-serviceman's point of view so take it as you wish. OFP or ArmA I'll be chuffed when FLK pops their kit out, been perving over there screenshots for such a long time! Keep up the good work lads! (<<<<quite a smug smiley) lol And corky.... there's no honour in war. Sorry to disapoint you mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halkrath 1 Posted December 8, 2006 I understand your opinion Squadron. And you are correct, There is no honor in war, But there is honor in remembering those who have fought and/or lost their life, for their country. That is what I had ment. Sorry I worded it wrong. P.S. I have also been perving over the FLK screenies since the mod started. Can't wait for the release either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfasi 4 Posted December 8, 2006 Little update.. Ok these pictures dont exactly show anything new but hey do show that on a relatively old machine that flk terrains arent too bad... They do however give a slight hint to the nature of the terrain that was predominantly fought over by foot! These pics also give an idea what work is still to be done at the main settlement with a number of temporay (pink or yellow) buildings. Even the partially built Moody brook is visable. Our biggest problem is people to finish the terrains off which include making and re-texturing a number of buildings. Machine is a AMD 1800 running at 1500mhz, with a geforce 6600 and 1 gb Ram, terrain set to normal and vis distance to 5000m Most these files are just over 100k each so most just links... http://www.cbfasi.co.uk/picsfalk/OFP3218.jpg http://www.cbfasi.co.uk/picsfalk/OFP3219.jpg http://www.cbfasi.co.uk/picsfalk/OFP3220.jpg http://www.cbfasi.co.uk/picsfalk/OFP3221.jpg http://www.cbfasi.co.uk/picsfalk/OFP3222.jpg http://www.cbfasi.co.uk/picsfalk/OFP3223.jpg http://www.cbfasi.co.uk/picsfalk/OFP3224.jpg http://www.cbfasi.co.uk/picsfalk/OFP3225.jpg http://www.cbfasi.co.uk/picsfalk/OFP3226.jpg And yes we are still planning an OFP release!!

cbfasi 4 Posted December 10, 2006 Just a few bits of maths.... The 6 Falklands Maps occupy an total area of around 2000 sq km With around 1100 sq km of land between them. AND most of this was crossed by foot.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halkrath 1 Posted December 10, 2006 Damn... That sir is alot of walking. Plus some of the marchin up hills and across land was under fire. Alot of brave souls were there.

crassus 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Great shots of the island(s). Have you any of Pebble, esp. the airfield? Any shots of SAS troopers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AfrographX 0 Posted December 12, 2006 I think the SAS troopers haven'tt changed that much since the last screens from 2004, (ofp.info news link). Still looking pretty good though. Really looking forward to an OFP release of FLK too (especially since I cant play ArmA on my Sys ) Btw nice weathering work on the Chinook Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wittmann 0 Posted December 14, 2006 I have ArmA and still looking forward to countless hours with this mod Now all we need is a vulcan bomber to bomb the airfield... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duke 0 Posted December 14, 2006 Once this mod is released I don't think I'll have an interest with ArmA. I have been watching the progress of this mod since it's birth. I have been on and off the forums, (due to work sometimes and College). I am excited for the release. I have wanted 1980's era British Addons since OFP came out, finally my dream will be true, but not just with addons, a whole new campaign in OFP. Finally something that perfectly fits my taste in this Game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
