And before someone asks, hud is placeholder. Most gauges will be functional but monitors will be props, expect maybe for the center monitor.

(sorry, noticed this just now)

Might I ask, what're you using as a reference point for the 'pit? I can try to go through my memories (should've done this a few years back so that wouldn't be a problem, lol), although at first glance, it's looking good! Keep up the good work, can't wait to fool around with Pasis and stuff in ArmA!

Memories... :D

M05 Jaegers for the first release:

From left to right: Team Leader, AT Specialist (APILAS), Squad Leader, Rifleman

From left to right: Medic, Officer, Machinegunner, Machinegunner Asst.

They are pretty much done, though officer's beret will get a facelift. There were plans for more accessories like decorative backpacks etc. but sometimes you have to make some sacrifices :).

Excellent stuff Norsu; it's good to see the puukko on them again! The APILAS, however, looks a bit small. I believe the height of the average trooper in ArmA 2 is something like 1.8m; the APILAS is a beast according to everybody I know who's come near one (granted, they all may be short guys).

[sabre 244]

According to wikipedia it's 1.26 m in length.

[norsu 180]

APILAS should have correct dimensions. And yes A2 soldiers are around 1.8m but to that you have to add the helmet and like Sabre said, APILAS is only 1.26m long and that leaves around 60cm of difference which you can see in the screenshot.

(granted, they all may be short guys)

Most FDF photos of APILAS have indeed quite small guys (or women) handling it for some reason :D.

Great work FDF team :D

Is it just me or are they missing the RDF patch?

And is there any plans on making some units in desert camo? =) I asked this a couple of weeks ago but did not get any answer :D

[Zipper5 74]

Wow, awesome work guys! Can't wait to have my beloved FDF mod in Arma 2!

I still have it installed on OFP. :butbut:

[Hitman 10]

Is it just me or are they missing the RDF patch?

I belive they are not in use in the FDF anymore. Some new patch rule.

[Kristian 47]

Any news about the radio sound profiles? Are we getting Finnish radio like all previous versions? (OFP, ArmA1)

[norsu 180]

Is it just me or are they missing the RDF patch?

That's because they are simple jaegers, not RDF soldiers. Think of them as wartime troops from Karelia Brigade. But don't worry, there will be RDF guys too.

And is there any plans on making some units in desert camo? I asked this a couple of weeks ago but did not get any answer

First release won't have any desert units. However OA should be a good enough excuse to add them in future ;).

Good work FDF

hakkaa päälle pohjan poika !!!!! :)

[Nixo 10]

Thanks for the reply!

One more question?

Will we see the Rk 62? As far as I know it is still the most used rifle in the defence forces.

[Ville89 10]

I asked the same question while back and also about M/91 uniform and they said that they are going to be made but not for the first release.

[Nixo 10]

I did a little digging in the FDF .pbo files and found out that the m/91 camo was made for the Special Jaeger.

I am SOOOOO sorry FDF for telling this if this was a secret! But I wish that you could make atleast one unit with the camo.

[norsu 180]

I said a few pages ago that only tank crew will wear M91 clothing. M91 for soldiers would require completely new gear too which we haven't even started yet.

[Nixo 10]

yes I remember. But I just had to ask if you had changed your mind :P I wont bother you anymore with my questions. Keep up the good work.

[Kristian 47]

So Norsu, how about the Finnish voice profiles? we getting em' in initial release or later? :)

APILAS should have correct dimensions. And yes A2 soldiers are around 1.8m but to that you have to add the helmet and like Sabre said, APILAS is only 1.26m long and that leaves around 60cm of difference which you can see in the screenshot.

Ah, understood. I was wondering why it is that the thing is fracking huge when, as you say, Wikipedia points out it's only 1.26m OAL. :D

[Nixo 10]

Hey again! I'm back to bother you once more =) How's things going? Any progress with the mod?

That breathing hose is a bitch to animate properly. Anyone tried to animate something similar and got it working decently?

[Kristian 47]

*tear of joy* :o

After I was drooling across FDF mod's media archieves, I truly realized the meaning of life.

*cough*

Anyways... All the stuff looks epicly awesome, will we get Finnish voice profiles as cherry on top of the cake?

[Callsign 128]

I never get why you guys haven't been snapped up by BIS yet! Absolutely amazing work!

[Nixo 10]

No fudging way! Looking super realistic :)
