More Information and Feedback

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sky install is not recommended if you run OFP in Direct3D mode or if you use Win98 or 95. We apologize for this, but there is nothing we can do to make it work reliably on these platforms. If you experience any errors about missing P3D or paa/pac files and you have installed the sky, delete your WGL\DTA folder and it will be fixed.

We welcome your feedback. Really we do. So don't hesitate to let us know what you think of the addon and any suggestions you have and we will try to respond as quickly as possible.

Nice AngusHeaf ,D/l now

Here's a few screenshots for the news sites and people interested in the pack. Let me just say that these screenshots only represent a TINY aspect of the mod and that the WarGames Introduction Manual is a far better list of what exactly the mod includes.

Caption: A russian Mi-24V HIND encounters AAA fire from 2 Vulcans. The rounds fired airburst near the chopper bringing it quickly to the ground with sheer volume of fire.

Caption: White Phosphorus mortar lands on an enemy camp positioned near a farm house. The mortar was delivered by a M224 60-mm mortar at a range of 2600m. All personnel, cooked and dead. One BRDM, also destroyed.

Caption: BMP-3 launches a salvo of 6 smoke grenades before the onboard infantry disembarks. The shells can be seen in mid-flight.

Caption: American M2A1 launches smoke and 4 seconds later has a wall of protective smokey goodness between it and the enemy. Smoke also defeats IR locking missiles at low angles.

Caption: A-10 Thunderbolt drops a spaced ripple of 2 Mk82 dumb bombs onto a squad of BTR-80 vehicles. Battle damage: 2 destroyed BTRs, 1 disabled BTR, 20 dead personnel.

Caption: United States LRSD (Long Range Survailence Detachment) waits in a hastey ambush while on patrol.

Caption: Fresh from the gear locker... New high-resolution compasses offer pathfinders a superior tool for not getting lost, or at least knowing which way they're heading. Hehe.

This mod very nice. I personaly think the M60 is by far the best around and I always use it in my vietnam missions. Perfect!

[SASR Sabre 0]

thnx SASR

[MSpencer 0]

Awesome job WGL guys. I'm gonna be working on a full out CTI version using WGL and all the units/addons. This is just awesome, but a little limited in SP. You guys did a great job optimizing it for MP.

[bonko the sane 2]

Nice one, those Stingers are crazy

Bug Report: im getting a missing script error when i place a claymore, and RPG7 is missing image in gear.

[Gordy 0]

The same.

All mines get the error.

And your right. They are not nice, they practical.

Wow! Are those the actual effects?! They look killer, especially the dirt kicking up from the bombs, very impressive.

But now, I have a few questions. Are there any servers for playing this baby availible? I would love to try all this new stuff out in a nice coop, TDM, or just an adversarial mission scenario.

That said, it's all looking great guys. Downloading the pack right now and I'm really looking forward to bombarding some ruskies and some yanks.

EDIT: Wow, fast downloading server! Thank you WGL crew!

EDIT2: Question, is the high-res skies installer WinME and Win98 compatible? Or are you using the "old" unmodified Kegetys installer?

GIGA island is kind of pain in ass for me

lags quite offenly on my Computer due to the numbers of trees they have(forest wont eat that much CPU power)

other then that, the pack is really good, GJ wgl guys

[Acecombat 0]

What exactly is in this pack ?

Sorry i m a bit confused , does it contains any new addons or different ones from others reconfigured? Also effects are new so does this means its got its own config to run on , rendering ECP useless?

[LightBringer 0]

Hey,

looks really promising! On my way to dl... ;) BTW is there any chance to make the map - at the evenings only - looks like it is enlighted with a red lamp? Because if we play any MP or SP games at the evening, my eyes are burned out, when switching into mapview...

Plz. help...

CU!

Excellent! great work and thanks WGL team!

[McWolf 0]

I must say: it's really what I want in OFP.

This mod already touched the spirit of OFP, not those eye-candy addon models.

There are many beautiful addons, great, but after test for a while, I still feel require something...

Yes, the spirit of OFP, the mind of OFP.

Great job.

OK, just got back from testing this excellent pack. Fighting at night is now MUCH more easy, and more fun thanks to the modified NVG's and the excellent explosion effects. The tank burn effects are spectacular!

But, there are a few bugs/"issues" that I noticed whilst playing:

1; No NVG's on Russian tank crews, a realistic feature or a .cfg blooper?

2; Indirect fire on the Apache, AI compatible or MP only?

3; The WGL highresolution skies not(?) compatible with Win98/WinME. Should be an easy fix.

4; Missing .P3d errors when trying to use the A10, both original and WGL versions. Not tried without WGL yet though...

All in all a great, great, great pack! The small things such as grenades not exploding when fired to close and timed hand grenades are just amazing. Yet again, great job WGL team! And thank you!

[hellfish6 7]

Wow

I'm DLing ASAP

[Ironsight 1]

Looking good downloading and playing tomorrow morning after my exams, first got to study. Repeats in his head: Have to concentrate now, Wargames tomorrow.

Hi guys

Downloading the 4.0 pack to a separate directory call @WGL4. The download goes ok for most of the way but I get an error at a DOS level stating data.pbo not found. Does the install need to see this file. Is it trying to mod the data.pbo file. If so why? Thanks for the update.

[mr burns 131]

i´m all amazed about the phosphorus mortar, looking nice

downloading now

[Gollum1 0]

Just got back from testing it.

Pros with the new version:

- Really, really nice effects, somehow both stylish and contained and really spectacular.

- Planes are very maneuverable and not as sluggish as before.

- Smoke, AA, phosphorous.

- Renamed menu selections, like "engage pilot weapon control".

- New NVGs.

Cons, suggestions:

- NSV starts with no ammo but DShK works fine, bug?

- Rifle grenades are a tad too ineffective, they're almost useless except for obscuring the enemy in smoke. (!)

- There is almost no difference in sound range over silenced and non-silenced weapons. I know the sound reduction is very low in real life, but in WGL there seems to be no difference at all.

- At least the directional mine that the VDV use is giving me an error when I set it.

- The custom sky looks too dark and unrealistic, I think I'll reinstall without it.

- VDV are using the old, 1.0, ORCS model/textures instead of the new ones.

- More spacious editor and sharper fonts would be nice, like used by ECP and especially FDF.

Anyway, it's good pack overall, altough lots of weapons could be replaced by other ones of mods, like

Marine Assault Pack M249, M4, AKS-74U, maybe RPG-16 and Javelin.

TOW M60

I haven't played it that much, I'll have to get back to you...

[Colossus 2]

Nice pics, downloading now.

As I see it is a few bugs on this version, but I'll do fine

anyway.

PS: 24min(!) to download on on fast cable.
