I think we will use the black outer part, because it fits to INQ's NVGs (BI-goggles)

but we won't use this clear view !!! It isn't realistic and DXDLL won't work with it.

but everyone can get this clear view... some sky packs have them implemented... 5 textures calles night_sum1-5 or something.

benus

ever looked won a pair of binocs before? unless you have fairly wide eyes it looks like one circle, not two separate ones. I have never looked inside NVGs before, but I don't think it would look like that.

Quite right! It irritates me why many pc games try to show a bino view as two joined circles! Unless you have double vision or some other synchronisation problem with your eyesight then looking through a pair of binoculars will give you just ONE circle of vision!  

I have several pairs of binos and use them quite frequently, it's the same view you get when looking through a sniper sight only larger and in 3D of course! I know you can't implement the 3D but a single large circle would be much more accurate.  

However, I think TB has already done the bino views, unless of course he would like to make some further adjustments!

Hi,

The current NVG view we included uses the 'Mono' view system which in my judgement, looks quite realistic and fits very well with (Both systems [bI/Mono]) night vision goggles.

Quote[/b] ]One issue is that when you fire to some human player if you fire fast some bullets on him, on the fraction of time he is dying the screen message reports this guy killed 2 or 3 times by the same guy.

This sounds more to be a 'ping' problem than a classical bug.

Quote[/b] ]However I have had some troubles installing the new T-80 pack as well.

The incoming FFUR 2006 will be using the fixed version of RHS T-80UM (Thanks to Kenji), btw, get a look at the list below of model changes and additions. :-)

Quote[/b] ]Want to thank you for your excellent MOD . We are looking forward for FFUR 2006.

You are the welcome, just make sure you won't use the mp config for your dedicated server, just keep the use of the classical one that would be included by default.

The MP config (Replaces Only weapons, soldiers and some effects) that would be available is especially intended to players, and it can be used in any server as long as it's an Operation Flashpoint Resistance Server.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Btw, As usual, in the few days that precede an important release, here's a detailed list of the FFUR 2006 Features. (available in the FFUR 2006 'readme' too.)

[*]Tank Effects

· A Tank’s machine guns now use very realistic tracers which help to improve the gameplay through making missions more immersive. Each side has its own NATO colour.

· Anti-Air units such as the Shilka and Vulcan use very authentic tracers.

· Realistic smoke for machine guns after periods of prolonged fire.

[*]Vehicle Effects

· Fuel trucks have more realistic and impressive explosions than before. Huge flames, flying debris and other effects can be seen due to the large amount of ammunition and petrol onboard.

· Civilian/military cars and trucks have flames once exploded which can burn you if you go near them. In addition, they produce a which smoke from the shockwave due to the impact.

[*]Helicopter Effects

· Helicopters now have a very impressive rotor failure effect - it produces black smoke and huge flames while falling to the ground, simultaneously twisting uncontrollably in the air.

· Dust on the ground and water in the sea is affected when helicopters fly low. You can see waves and ripples formed while hovering.

· Helicopters produce shockwaves when they hit the ground or sea.

· Helicopters’ rockets produce smoke and sparks upon launch.

· Realistic cannon smoke.

[*]Plane effects

· Ejection sequence added for jet fighters, so when a plane is damaged the pilot is able to eject using their seat, with the parachute opening once clear of the aircraft.

· Planes create trails of white cloud behind them like Jet Liners.

· Upon explosion a plane will send more than 100 fragments of debris in any direction, and then burst into intense flames.

· You are given warning messages when coming under attack from enemy fire.

· Waves are created when jets fly very low over the sea.

· Jet planes can launch flares to evade enemy missile fire.

· Realistic cannon smoke.

[*]Soldier Effects

TB,

This list just causes me to DROOL!

And it sounds like you'll have this up and ready for downloading by the end of the week, so my "download" finger is finally starting to get itchy.

I have no doubts that this will be a very satisfactory playing experience. No doubts at all.

And I just wanted to add that Benus' ironsights are real works of art. Very professional looking, to say the least.

Yours,

Kyle

Sounds very good

Could you elaborate what the difference between standard and MP versions are please?

[echo1 0]

Just a quick question - are the resistance units the same ones as the last packs or are they the new Wiliec 'Euro' units?

[Thunderbird 0]

Thanks for the encouragements and the kind words. :-)

Quote[/b] ]Could you elaborate what the difference between standard and MP versions are please?

There are several differences between both in order to avoid experiencing problems during online play.

[*]The MP config includes the following effects only:

· Tanks and APC explosions.

· Some flashes and tanks muzzle flashes.

· Firearms smoke.

· Cars and trucks explosions.

[*]A few replacements only:

· US soldiers /Russian soldiers/ Resistance men.

· Weapons sounds.

· Some firearms and some rocket launchers as well.

-> [M16/ M4/ M24/ M249/ Law/ Ak47/ Ak74/ Ak74su/ Sa58/ SVD/ Pk/ RPG]

And the FFUR 2006 Default config (or Single config) will be using all the features reported in the previous post above.

Oh... No...

So the MP config will not replace vehicles?

This is terrible news for my squad and I

[Journeyman 0]

That's an impressive list TB! - Sounds like you've been incredibly busy!  

I think you're gonna need some of this -    !!

When that FFUR 2006 is released, I believe it will surpass Armed Assault even before its own release.

right .....    

I have to disagree there.

no disrespect intended TB.  

I love ur mod, but I cant see how it is any better than Armed Assault. Lets just say ... it have similar quality to AA.  

[CameronMcDonald 146]

IMHO, between themselves, the ECP team and the FFUR team combine to make (no, not Captain Planet) something quite close to AA quality. Especially when you consider what Flashpoint looked like in the beginning, and what it looks like now... whew! Someone should make a video of it.

Anyway, if the release is in a coupla days, I imagine the only thing left for the FFUR team to do is upload it. Can't wait!

[redliner47 0]

Can't wait for the release guys!

Take a break or something after the release, you have earned it!

It's not Thunderbird saying this stuff. Its you guys.

Nothing better to do?

You do not have to worry Shashman, Thunderbird already clarified this issue.

for our dedicated server we use the clasic FFUR 2006 configuration that includes all the effects and vehicles

So we will use the clasical config on SWAF server.

The way I understood is that the MP config is to allow you to play in servers with that FFUR file even if you do not have FFUR installed or vice versa that is allow gameplay btw FFUR and non FFUR players.

SWAF will go for full FFUR 2006

Hi,

The current NVG view we included uses the 'Mono' view system which in my judgement, looks quite realistic and fits very well with (Both systems [bI/Mono]) night vision goggles.

Quote[/b] ]One issue is that when you fire to some human player if you fire fast some bullets on him, on the fraction of time he is dying the screen message reports this guy killed 2 or 3 times by the same guy.

This sounds more to be a 'ping' problem than a classical bug.

About the been killed 2-3 times, it ins't a ping issue everyone had this bug in FFUR2005. When your health bar is nearly empty you are reported killed in the chat dialog but then agian you stay alive for a couple more sec for the enemy to hit you.

Yup, weird...

We didn't have high pings (rarely over 50ms) so it's not a ping-related issue

[mattxr 9]

myabe its been fixed somehow i cant wait it all sounds soo exciting, never been so excited since erm ECP release

btw, bergy what have you done to your aviter

[Thunderbird 0]

Hi,

Quote[/b] ]When your health bar is nearly empty you are reported killed in the chat dialog but then agian you stay alive for a couple more sec for the enemy to hit you.

I think we can live with it as long as it doesn't cause very serious problems, this is maybe due to 1 specifical script, I tend to the 'blood' one, though.

Hopefully, it won't keep happening with the FFUR 2006.

Btw, here's a first shot of the incoming pack.

Thanks to Parvus.

More shots will be available very soon
