Finally.  

EDIT: Nice job Offtime...these are great!

[Airbourne Alchaholic 0]

It's good to see Offtime's soldier model used so broadly, this is a must have for those custom desert Islands.

Good work!

they arent the best, this addon was on hold for some time.

but at least it fills tiny hole in opfor list

not arabic, desert themed, good to shoot at ;-)

Major Fubar got busy (and lazy)...sorry I wasn't of more help with these units, but great to see they got released anyway.

Nice looking units! downloading now...

[Commando84 0]

done some testing with the new units!!!

Nice stuff , these suit any desert enviroment really well

The jeep is really nice to, like the m60 machinegun

Yeah i found out these where cool to combine with the bas tonahl opfor pack too these guys work with ecp mod i discovered to my happy suprise tooo

Keep up the nice work and all.

If i may ask whats your next project in the making?

[ShadowY 0]

Very nice addons thnx

Offtime is there not a chance that you guys retext. some of these older vehicles?

Would be great if you did, so it matches the units\jeep alot more.

If not well then I`ll see if I try something myself,

a truck can`t be to hard

*edit: Nevermind I saw your pic in OFP photography with addons used.

Nice pics honcho is that your Island? and where can I find these buildings?

[bonko the sane 2]

nuff said, excellent release, thank you very much.

these make for very good modern day desert ops mercenaries.

[akd 0]

Very nice. My only criticism would be the M60 on the jeep. Model is of mediocre quality, sound is not so hot, muzzle flash looks a bit too solid and smoke comes from behind muzzle. Also, the FIA carry no other U.S. weapons, so the use of the M60 is a bit strange. If you have access to changing the model, I'd put a PK or FN MAG on the jeep.

[ag_smith 0]

Thank you for your kind replies, guys. I'm very glad you like them.

Commando84, our next projects (at least most of them) will be more related to OFPL - Polish Army mod. Yes, they are ECP compatbilie, something that takes 5 minutes to implement, yet many forgot about it. Wonder why...

ShadowY, the island is a new version (unreleased yet) of DMA Libya. Buildings will be included with it.

akd, if you examine the unit list more carefully, you would find units equipped with M16A1 and M16A2. Also, nothing stops you from rearming machinegunners with any weapon of your choice. Personally, I do like such a mix of different weapons, makes them look more belivable as a cheap mercenary force. Perhaps Jeep was a "gift" from some US company? I also don't mind the M60 model, maybe it's not the best hi-poly shiznit that our spoiled community expects these, it just does what it's supposed to do.

Judging from what Offtime said, I doubt these units will be further worked on. You all know the drill: stop whinning and use them as they are or, if you don't like them, don't use them at all.

I made no comment on the machine gunners, so I don't know why you would bring up rearming them. They look great on my comp, since I'm using DMA Army Pack.

Regarding the unit list, it is just the JAM_Men list, as far as I can tell. I didn't read much into it. The Desert Opfor infantry squad does not carry any U.S. weapons, and I thought that was the "feel" intended for Desert FIA . Clearly I was wrong. I apologize.

However, while the quality of the M-60 is just my opinion, the smoke coming out of the middle of the barrel is an actual bug, so no, I won't be using a bugged model. Why would anyone?
