Vilas' addons

[Blackbuck 9]

speaking of modern weapon anyone does Masada from Magpul Industries ?

btw. Vilas great work on that Bradley and rest

Been there done that :P I've got 3 varying resolution models on my old PC of it with a UV map and wireframe but it never amounted to anything decent looks wise so I kept it on my HD never to see the light of day

Vilas, very nice work with these soviet units, and particularly with KLMK and KZS texture which are very realistic.

Btw if i can make a suggestion about the camo of the chicom chest rig, it might be more clear or sand colour like this:

as seen during Afghanistan conflict.

Or maybe you can model a Lyftchica :

If you need more picture of this one tell me !

But once again very good work !

[Shadow NX 1]

Common colour for the "Chicoms" are green and sand so it wouldnt be wrong to use green.

However the use of the Chicom itself may be a no no in a conflict outside of Afghanistan as from what i read the Chicoms were kind of battle trophys taken from Mudjahedin.

Seems that late in that war the soviets finally issued their troops with own style LBVs and i guess one of the first was the Lyftchica.

Anyway, please send photos to me and i will see what we can make from it, personally im all for using that instead of the Chicoms.

Probably well keep a few of the Chicoms and a soem guys with panama hats for people that wanna do Afghanistan style missions.

Lyftchika? Wtf? Maybe you think Lifchik (bra in english ) It's not real name but usual nickname for harness-on-belts LVBs.

[vilas 477]

by the way NSX, you can tell them - do not suggest modern copies manufactured for Airsoft players as "ex-Soviet"

you can tell them about Berezka "autenticity" and other products like that

[NSX 8]

Well, so far noone suggested Berezka KLMK or Sumrak. About this LVB - let's see what Shadow thinks about this, as he asked for photos, so he'll had all reference pics.

[Shadow NX 1]

I wonder why anyone should suggest modern camos ( or kind of new cut and colour versions of old suits like Sumrak ).

THe only thing i would find neat is a BDU like cut uniform ( normal cut with pockets ) in KZS camo like border guards often had it.

Possibly a even better option than the KZS burlap suits but i doubt Vilas wants to make himself that much more work.

Textures wouldnt be a problem, yet we would need to edit the model again.

M1988 camo in brown would also be neat but the same prob as above.

[vilas 477]

we already have 27 different models of Soviet troops while BOTH US + FIA has half of it, making new Soviets will only turn Project'85 (NATO vs. Warsaw Pact) into USSR'85 addon

we have in future NVA to do, not only one country USSR

[NoRailgunner 0]

Nice work vilas!

You're making:

NVA = Nationale Volksarmee with "Einstrich-Keinstrich" camo and unique NVA helmets

or is it

NVA = North Vietnamese Army ??

[vilas 477]

in central europe ?

DDR of course

MPI-KMS 72 and MPI-AKS74N are pack since 2 weeks

[SorryImDrunk 0]

@NSX I don't want to see sumrak or any kind of modern bereska suit. In a 85 project it will be an heresy. And more your suits in the pictures are perfect

My bad about the LBV, I' m not Russian language specialist so i couldn't know that i was talking about "bra" !

By the way I'm gonna take some pictures for ShadowNX who seems to be interest by this LBV !

Cordially and continue your hard work !

[NSX 8]

A bit more teaser pics:

[IronTiger 0]

All credits for work go to Vilas and Shadow NX. I'm just their equipment advisor and a kind of PR manager for now.

The quality of all the work-in-progress units and weapons on this thread is top notch. I really like the FN-FAL screens. That last set from NSX look really good. I like that there is more pouches and gear, the standard vinallia Opfor look too bare.

[IronTiger 0]

Well then i need to say a big thanks to Shadow&Vilas for the hard work on this Great Units and of course to u to NSX

Your Guys!

Hey vilas, when was the last time you updated teh "vilas_MOD"? or are you not updating it until the the new release comes out.

[vilas 477]

VILAS_MOD was updated ... some months ago, date should be near link on 1-st topic

VILAS_MOD will be for trash when new weapons will come

VILAS_MOD has some weapons useless, new are in new quality and models as this new APS:

with real sight from this picture:

also new pack is with thought about other addons - I must do Galil too

and by the way as somene was asking about NVA of DDR :

WW2 pack is divided now, addons already made will be reequipped with new weapons

so VILAS_MOD will be history

CSLA will do their weapons , so my UK-59 is nonsense than

RHS made super Russian (modern) weapons, so also my VSS, AK-74M variants with different scopes has no sense,

before RHS released their Infantry my addon of Russians and Soviets had sense, now with new P85 Soviets and RHS Russians such thing as VILAS_RUS is sensless

if you are interested i can PM you full list of weapons that are made already and positions "to do"

new weapons pack will be : VILAS_WPN (international) VILAS_PWP (Poland weapons)

try (side) Empty -> OFP Vehicles (VIL)

[belgerot 33]

One thing is bothering me about the WWII pack, anyway to resize the German helmet? Allied, especially the U.S. and Soviet helmets look fine but the German one stands out too much Sorry for the hassle.

BTW- I've been noticing an improvement on texturing, such as on the MUTT and Bradley, very nice to see!

- VILAS_MOD has some weapons useless, new are in new quality and models as this new APS:

- RHS made super Russian (modern) weapons, so also my VSS, AK-74M variants with different scopes has no sense...

Those RHS Russian weapons are not exactly super,

but they will do, for now. And since that mod already has a

Stechkin "APC", why do u want to make a new one?

It's not in any way better than the one made by the OWP team, and adopted by RHS... The model is totally wrong, textures resemble BIS stuff... Is this like... err... addonmaking

for the sake of addonmaking?..

[vilas 477]

model totally wrong ?

model is made on blueprints set as background, it is tottally real, under modelk there is reference picture of sight

my models are very realistic

compare my models screens with real weapons photos before you tell stupid and not true words !

My APS is update and replacemnt of old APS from my pack, RHS APS is one of big pack, so including big pack in "mod" because of one weapon would be sensless

also my weapons have "trick" for AI to shoot worse, to improve gameplay and eliminate before 1.09 god-skilled AI

thats why my weapons are not compatible with RHS, my weapons have shorter range of fire and bigger accuracy for AI, designed for single player mission

also my APS will be used in my other addon - mafia/bandits pack

my model is not totally wrong ? - look at real APS :

http://www.euroarms.net/CV/Russia/AA240.htm

edit: almost all my models are made with texture of real gun as background in oxygen, so it cannot be wrong, if real gun phot is under, while i shape 3d mesh

Man, I love u!

I do agree that most of my words are stupid.

Totally stupid... but true

It's good that you have posted a link to those pics - I think it's clear now that your APC is not modelled correctly.

(as if it wasnt clear before)

In fact if u didnt write the name of that gun, I wouldn't be able to identify it - it must be one of those custom SLA handguns, right?

Compare your model and the one in da RHS-Skaven pack  

Even the most basic proportions are wrong...

[Shadow NX 1]

Hmm as you are the man for details may i ask why dont you make some addons?

I think that pack you make would totally rock because you really have the eye for detail.

Joking aside, the APS doesnt look bad but if im honest i still dont understand why we didnt use the RHS weapons in a modifed form for this project instead of using the bis body and adding other handguards and buttstocks.

But to late for that now and so i will live with what we have.
