Operation enduring freedom

@ mr. parvus:

- in the future we will use our own classes (derived from bas- and hyk-soldiers) with the desired weapon-loadout. mainly we will use weapons from usmc (c8x+such), bas, hep, and inq.

- the dust-scripts are from vectorbosson, but adapted and enhanched for our requirements.

I'm enlisting in the F Troop, 4th U.S. Cavalry.

We should have different Battalions for people to register in, that would make it seem more realistic.

Just a thought.

Hello Mr. Wilco  

very good idea (thx for the video) - unfortunally the *sign* for the 10th mountain f.e doesnt work on the BAS Deltas;

if they does - it will be very easy to create different battalions, but we'll find a solution: Description of to unit and the exactly task in the briefing

(i hope  Mr. Softegg can give us a example of our mission briefing ... i dont like the standard *book* @ the beginning of a new mission )

So i want now to describe our *Realismus* degree ...

- in the most missions we want to play with ~12 gamers:

9 Rangers for the main-attack and 3 Deltas (not shown) with special tasks and functions

The Ranger Rifle-Squad with this constellation:

of course we know the real ranger company

or a light infantry squad

[Parvus 0]

- for special missions in the campaign, where mechanized are necessary, we use this constellation => 1st Squad with BFV-2

the tank company:

- and for the really hard stuff, that makes the use of M1A1 necessary, they will fight this way:

in movement like this

our military advisor Mr. nyles told us, that if we use M1A1, we have to know that only 2/4 and so one are possible;

that means you'll never see a tank platoon consist of 3/5/7 or what ever tanks ...

we are on it; with the help of Hawkeye, i hope to get a demo mission running ...

P.S. many many Thanks to Mr. nyles!

OPEF-AH64-D ready to go

Mr. Softegg plz give us details: it's a BlackAH64 from *Helofreak* with BOH AH64 modifications or what ....  

(P.S. do we have to update first page with this one?)

That's very nice. I was just admiring the same pic on the combat photo thread.

Yes, you should update post #1 on this thread. That's where I started looking.

Any chance of releasing this Longbow sepatarely? Can you give us details how it differs from BOH's? Newly skinned? Interior? Equipment? Features? Weapons?

[Softegg 0]

sorry if i have to lower your expectations, but this chopper if most likely the one from boh-mod.

in our config/mod, we have added the following things:

- chopper-dust

- engine-smoke

- bullet-cases

- explosions

- chaff/flare

all "smaller" addons will be included in our opef-zip-files which will be released together with the completed campaign.

I PM'd this to someone who asked the same question.

You need helifreaks black retextured apache from HERE.

And download THIS from Pappy's site. All you need from this pack is apac.pbo

This will however overwrite the BIS apache.

edit: also requires BAS SOAR Pilots

Cap.

Thx Mr. Captain

=> we are on a Demo-Mission called Airfield Accident*.

In place of making a video - showing OPEF in Acton - we decided to make a Demo-Mission

1024x768

pic title: *MH-60 down*

... hope getting started very soon; also an Addons update will be necessary ...

This mission looks stunning but i think u need a monster PC to render all this.

[Parvus 0]

Yes, sure with a PIII 600 MHz, like uptodate in 2001 when OFP was released, you have to play with *low* textures ...

But we count with minimum ~1400 MHz and 64MB grafik; thats the new *standard* in 2004 ... imo.

What do you have for an equipment Mr. 7th Cav.? I'm sure we find a solution by fixing some settings.

Looks nice but noticed the M2s spewing the casings from the 25 mm which is kinda incorrect, most weapons larger that 50 cal often eject downward from the bottom of the weapons reciever, Kinda stopped that after many people commonly were injured by heavy brass casing that were sent flying from the AAA guns like the 40 mm Bofors. Even the 25 mm is capable of causing a fairly nasty injury. The M2 from CTB has expended shell cartriage ejectiing from the propor loaction should be aviable in the next relase..

[Parvus 0]

Thx for your comment.

imo we dont use wrong weapons (our military advisor can show you the source for our informations)

- Mr. Softegg can tell you details about the place for *spewing the casings*.

@ mr. parvus:

our weapons are right.

our case-thingies maybe not.

but they look cool.

Well, I am broke at the moment. (The army don't pay much ;))

My current system is Duron 800 (yes, I know, its very old, but hey far cry works ), I have 640 megs of SDram and a radeon 9000 Pro 128 ddr. The settings are default for flashpoint.(I haven't changed anything, I just lowered resolution to 800*600*32. I get around 1700-2000 on benchmark test.

Hmm is this released yet?

Very nice! This explosions look realy great!  

But what about the performance-aspect  Will it be possible to play with this detailed explosions on MP-Server or are they "only" playable in a LAN?

MfG MEDICUS  

like we wrote in first post: our main attention applies to dedicated-server.

most of mathematics for the effects are executed on client-side and we have removed/disabled client effects/scripts from the dedicated-server. with this solution, we want to save enough power on the server.

we are working on a first demo-mission, if its ready to play we will also make stress-tests.

stay tuned!

I'm curious if there will be any roles for the op-for, namely the Taliban and foreign fighters?

Sorry if this has been addressed earlier, I haven't yet read all the posts.
