Project RACS

[VXR 9]

It does not really matter if its too modern or too expensive for RACS, the missionmaker is the one that decides if he puts it into his mission right?

such small country cannot have all vehicels of the world

and also in such small army newest Leopards are nonsense too ;]

Well this is a fantasy mod, so it's all open and they can stick anything they want in there, so what the hell.

If one would look at all the things that have been added into the mod you'd just scream: logistical nightmare!

WLD427,

no reason to overreact here, mate.

Basically no one tries to compete with your stuff. It´s just the opposite - William and myself offered you some reskins. If you want to include them or not in your project is your own decision.

Actually i liked it when some members of the forum are motivated by your project and try to make their own reskins. It´s nothing more and nothing less.

As you can see by the number of posts maked in this thread there are a lot of people very interested in your and Dalai Lamars stuff. It would be wrong now to stop because of some members which are only trying to be helpful for your mod.

Please think about it again.

the point ive been trying to make from the get go is instead of making your own stuff why not join up with us and help out! From the start its been myself and FA Dalai Lamar doing the majority of the work.

@vilas...... thats why we never went for Bionics Leo2A6 and why your Leo2 works perfectly as our modern main battle tank. the M60-2000 is for the Kings Division.

I will have your hatches done today. It was hard working with them without a complete addon.

Actually i did write you a PM regarding this if you are interested in me joining the team, unfortunately i didn´t get an answer!

[vilas 477]

hatches made already :P

whole weekend spent on it

i returned your PM with a question of if you had any more examples of your work. I never got a response back so i assumed you were not interested anymore. If this is not the case please contact me. we need more people to help out for sure but we also need to make sure we all have the same goals.

I think at this stage, the Team is producing a very broad and interesting range of kit.

I for one would be very happy to see their current to do list finished off.

So perhaps people could give the chaps some quiet time unless they have some leet skillz that could be of use.

[fritz160 wolf 0]

I agree with imshi. ya guys are becoming like my old Shift manager. always Wanting more out of ya employees. WEll stop it WLD And Lamer are ONLY human.  they cant just be poping addons for ya guys like some DAMN chinese Commie sweat shop worker. IF ya guys got ya own racs MODS relese it your damn selves.   like boba did with his humvees and Dms racs M1a1.     i gusse what i am saying is lay off on them let them finish what they started in there own damn """"Insert censorship here"""""""""""""  Time.  thats all i got to say.

[eble 3]

I think the best thing to do would be to finish what has been started and agreed on first, once all those are done and dusted then special projects can be completed much quicker.

It doesn't take long to retexture a plane etc but when you have 20 other things on the go, it becomes a pain.

I for one will be making sure the SLA arn't over run by the mighty RACS forces.

I'm just happy to see that RACS gets some new toys to play around with

Looking forward to seeing vehicles, troops and rotary arcraift too.

Keep up the good work guys and don't get stressed/overloaded by all the requests that are flying around...

there seems to be a few different opinions on what the King would have in his toybox...

why not have different flavours for different time frames....

pre invasion; low tech older kit (vilas RACS 85? older us vehicles)

during occupation..spending some oil revenue and preparing for retaking the south ;air superiority a requirement landing craft, paratroopers, spec ops)

after victory paranoia...big spending on military...neglecting civilians ....leading to a revolt....

what do you guys think about the convenience of putting the marks on the RAC planes in spanish instead of english ? is not some sort of spanish the languaje spoken in Sahrani ? just want your opinion.

[FA Dalai Lamar 0]

@William1 - Great point and actually we did in fact discuss that same point at length. I originally wanted to put them in Spanish but as none of our team speaks a lick of it we were unsure the exact translation also i do believe parts of the Island have Portuguese names and Middle Eastern ones as well. Also I know RACS is their official designation by BIS and i am pretty sure that Royal Army Corps does not translate exactly so we just went with English for those 2 reasons. However I am Open to translation if it matches up. we of course would have to talk EddyD into redoing all his hard work.

well i am spanish and i can translate any  word or phrase for you if you want , navy can be translated as Armada or Marina , i'd rather translate it in the Racs case as "Marina Real de Sahrani" for example   . about redoing the work , you'd had just to remake the titles that are assigned to the models with setobjectexture, what wouldn't be so difficult, and change one word here and there in some paa files, not difficult either . I think spanish marks would add character to the addons.

regarding the "RACS" dessignation of the south sahrani army , i think it is the english translated name , but you won't see the "RACS" abreviation as such in any vehicle or unit in the independant side, correct me if i'm mistaken.

I think the SLA is speaking spanish,

Quote[/b] ]Also, there’s an island in North Sahrani (Obviously I didn’t go there, but it’s in the books and on the maps) that the British kept a base on until the Crimean War that was named after the Queen: ‘Victoria Island’. The British handed over their possessions to the Sahrani Monarchy in 1898, and when the Revolution came, the Northerners renamed the little island ‘Isla de Victoria’ and changed the meaning so that it reflected the victory of the revolution. If you ask me, history doesn’t need to be changed.

I think Royal Army Corps of Sahrani will be Cuerpo Real del Ejercito de Sahrani.

Navy will be Armada o Marina.

Air Force will be Fuerza Aerea, or Ejercito del Aire (Used on Spain and France).

Police = Policia.

Also, I think the people of South Sahrani speaks Spanish (mayority) and Portugese (monarchy). And in the North of Sahrani speak Spanish (mayority) and a little of Arabic, maybe the people of the north Sahrani speak like Andaluz (South of Spain) or like Boricuas (Central america).

I think Royal Army Corps of Sahrani will be Cuerpo Real del Ejercito de Sahrani.

nop , "royal" is not referred to "corps" but to "Army" , so the literal translation would be : cuerpo del ejercito real de Sahrani , but this is a no realistic and a bad translation in spanish , so the correct translation would be something like : "Reales fuerzas Armadas de Sahrani"

[fabiantronc 0]

ahh good point

Like the Thai Armed Forces and the Morroccan Armed Forces.

Considering the official name is the RACS, I'm guessing the south island may have flipped to English as it's official language. Would fit, considering how it's the US' golden boy in the area.

i agree

yeah , but SLA is too the official BIS name for the north ( Sahrani liberation Army) and they speak spanish. It's a little strange that a country that speaks spanish designates his own army in english , isn't it ?

[Blue_Flight 0]

After playing more with your addons i encountered a few little bugs :

When flying with the Super Etendard or Mirage III and shooting a missile, the plane get´s damaged and stands in the air to crash down. The F-16 works very nice though, also with the AI.

When trying to let the AI destroy some targets with the SOCAT Puma, it mainly uses it automatic cannon to engage and VERY rarely the rocket pods - in general it reacts a bit shitty with it.

Perhaps you can fix these problems?

Also any word on the new F-16 version (new loadouts) and the progress of the tank and M-113 pack?

Thanks

More evidence to support it would be that it appears that it was a British colony at some point (Actually making spanish as the official language make no sense, but that's just me. Perhaps the North Island adopted it during the revolution.)

If anything, I'd suggest that the nation is bi-lingual, as shown by the use of english in every day conversation, but certain place names being in Spanish. (Sierra Masbete comes to mind)

Therefore, it's entirely up to the dev team how they name it, but I'd support English names, considering the Ingame name for the army is "Royal Army Corps of Sahrani"
