Excelent work! Would love to see those Green Berets in this ACU

EDIT: You should make version with the BDU and Desert camo gear replaced with ACU ones

I don't like the coloring of the ACU here. IMO it should be more like FFUR's ACU.

well, that's what it looks like in real life, so i don't have a problem with it. the ranger scrolls are worn on both arms, not that random crest. if you want some pictures of it, let me know.

Well, AFAIK, that would be the earlier generation ACUs. The later generations are more tan-ish, not blue-shaded (check DLEMs I think). Although both are used and the design does change it's shade a bit in different lightnings. Although I might be wrong as I haven't actually tested these. Yet.

considering i have twelve pair of them in my closet, his are decently accurate, apart from the fact that rangers have ACU everything. not a hodge-podge of tan & woodland IBAs, etc.  everything is basically ACU, and you don't see too many M4's painted desert color.  you're right though, they are more tan IRL.  Edit, i took a few pictures of various things that could help you... also, those are 75th regiment scrolls you see, i'm not a ranger, they were purchased to use as a reference awhile back, and arent even velcro wink_o.gif. i'm an infantryman in the 20th SF group, alabama national guard.

Boots I wore over there...

Considering FFUR's is off color also, I don't think it would make much of a difference.

Actually, it's 101 degrees here today in Alabama, and noon, so I'll take a picture of the ACU's outside so you can see how they look.

here's half in the shade, half in the light, obviously:

as you can see, it really doesn't look that different. his ACU rangers look a lot more realistic than those of FFUR, or any others released so far, so great job!

I'm probably in the minoroty here! But what the hell here goes,this is ace! However why is everyone getting swept away with this new face thing?It would have been better without the "face " thing. I think the new face's make these unit's look like somthing out of a cheap arcade type game. I also hope the fad for these new face's die's out soon.

dude, i'm not going to question if you are really in 20th SFG, but you got a patch on that uniform that is incorrect. the rangers do not wear an airborne tab above their unit patch (the ranger scroll).

they only have the ranger tab, special forces tab (if ever awarded the special forces tab from previous service as a SF operator), sapper tab (if graduate of the sapper course), and the president's hundred tab (placing in the top 100 in a certain shooting competition).

just pointing out some incorrect info wink_o.gif

i know, i was going after a generalization (sp)  i'm not SF, i'm just a cadet at the university of alabama, and an e-4 in the alabama national guard, 20th SF group.  i won't be able to go to selection or anything until after college.  it's just my unit.

good luck with becoming an army officer and i will give you a "de oppresso liber" salute, but be sure to show proper uniform standards when posting on these sites.

these guys can possibly use your pics for reference for a future addon and it would be nice if the info is correct. by the way, even though you may not be a "tab wearer", you are still a special operations soldier and never forget that.

the "team guys" got their part of the mission to do and we got ours (some of it includes going out with them), but we are all special operations troops and we have the same mission to complete.

Am I the only the that thinks the coloring of the ACU's on these rangers are a bit off?

FFUR ACU

acu9ab.jpg

Real Life ACU

acu-pic03.jpg

Laser's Ranger's in ACU

Another Real Life ACU

acu-pic01.jpg

Now look and tell me which one looks more like the real thing. I'll be surprised if you tell me Laser's Rangers in ACU are.

Man...Simulating ACU is like reproducing the sound a bullet being fired makes. It's just damn difficult because it changes shade and tan and appears different in practically every lighting condition, just like a bullet being fired changes sound in whatever environment it is fired, so people can sit here and argue until the cows come home about whether he has the right degree of Grey #09BH36 and all the rest... One addon is never gonna be spot on, when it comes to ACU

hey,

I tried to simulate the acu as good as I can...

but it seems you never get it 100%.

Maybe you try to change dxdll settings abit or sth like that.

Or maybe it's because of the paa compression which makes the textures look blueish. Like when you compress gunparts from tga to paa there is some strange violet color then.

I try to improve the acu textures as soon as possible and as good as possible.

Let's cu
