With regards to the new British weapons someone might want to ask where this clan got theres.

Dutch

[cannonouscrash 12]

They create their own mods Dutch, And they generally keep them within the clan for x amount of time before their release to the public, They are made by their inhouse mod team P-UKF, check em out

Ahh right, its a shame they're kept in house for so long!

[cannonouscrash 12]

Well, This is going OFFT, but if memory serves me correctly, p:ukf stopped releasing their addons due to theft of the product.

It is a shame that they keep them in house, Theres only like 5-6 different blufor gun types in the game :-(

On topic though, I am lead to believe that Stalker is creating his British Weapons for Project Reality:Arma2

[da12thMonkey 1943]

VCB are testing those addons while they're still under development. Owing to the fact that P:UKF members run VCB, we use them as an external beta-testing group. Their feedback is highly valued by UKF, and saves you lot from experiencing numerous bugs that we miss in-house.

There's never been any concious effort by VCB or UKF to delay public releases of UKF addons any longer than they need to be; VCB get the completed V1.00 releases the same time as everybody else does.

Release of some of it isn't very far off at all now, but please leave discussion of our addons to our threads rather than intruding on Stalker's thread.

Matt, can you add this wonderful development? :D

No amount of cut-up NBC-boots, sniper tape or scrim netting is going to make that lid look good

12th beat me to it, so....^ what Da12th said. VCB are UKFs longtime beta testing group (have tested UKFs addons since Op Flashpoint), and theres a large degree of overlap between the two. Nothings being deliberately held back and kept internal, it's just in testing. We try not to flash the fact around or use it as a selling point, for obvious reasons.

On the other hand, thanks very much for actually coming forward with that, Dutch. It's nice to see people being vigilant, even if it is innoccuous. Anyway. You can either dig up the UKF discussion thread, or continue this on the UKF forums if you've any wish to talk about our stuff further. Poor Matt deserves to have his fantastic looking units discussed rather than his thread taken over with the discussion of P:UKFs interal affairs! (that said, I can't wait to use the new UKF weapons with Matts troops)

Oh. And that helmet? Looks like it's designed for paintball or airsoft. :butbut:

[STALKERGB 6]

@da12th, this is why I'm not going to leave one soldier without a helmet in the mod for custom headgear... they will all end up looks like that guy lol! Oh how the taliban would fear that guy!

On a more serious note, is the guy with the Mk7 wearing Assualt Osprey in MTP or Mk3 Osprey?

(that said, I can't wait to use the new UKF weapons with Matts troops)

The second the newer UKF weapons are out I'll update the config to have 'em! (Looking very good btw!)

Anyway, an update on progress for everyone, if I get myself into gear I could probably finish the addon by sunday, maybe monday...

...although thats not a promise...

Will post a pic in a minute just to keep everyone interested.

Both shoulders look like they have anti-slip material (in green) and there are little D-rings just below that, so it looks to me like a version of Osprey Assault in MTP. Has PALS loops on the left shoulder like old Osprey though, which is new.

Guess this is the vest they said 16AAB will start wearing.

[Jonny_LI 10]

Jesus... Da12th I hope you had nothing to do with the BMX Star Wars helmet design mucker. No amount of scrim or NBC boot, cats eyes or cutting straps off could make that look Ally.

Stalker, looking good mate can't wait to get my hands on 'em. To those asking about the helmet and it's size it looks about right for the Mk7.

You're a student, you spent your last 7 quid on pot noodles and your electricity token - stop writing cheques your arse can't cash.

[TomatoArden 0]

haha, ok, although I just got money off my parents that I could burn paying someone to rename their addon/ive just finished been a student and will be working for money very soon/I prefer super noodles :)

[STALKERGB 6]

Right, just got to sort the config out,

@UKF,RKSL, would putting my units under the "UK Armed Forces" Faction you guys use be ok?

Just need to sort out weapons/equipment for each unit and seperate the config.

Might release after the F1 and England match.

How about 33 Parifle as a name lol? :p They don't have any insignia on them and aren't even called 4 rifle in the editor so imagine them to be whatever you want them to be :)

[da12thMonkey 1943]

@UKF,RKSL, would putting my units under the "UK Armed Forces" Faction you guys use be ok?

Yea, the idea of it was to encourage as many British addons as possible to use a common faction to reduce the editor menu clutter. It's up to addon makers if they decide to use it or not.

P.S. will be sending you a PM shortly about certain classnames.

Go onnn, release them as 3 RIFLES. I can think of around 500 people that'd be happy if you did :D. Doesn't matter about the insignia, seeing as 3rd Battalion is the best Battalion your addon would do even better - you know it makes sense.

Fine by me too. 2nded exactly what Da12th says. Here's what im using. UKF have a slightly different vehicle class setup due to commonality issues. But its a bit eaiser for me since im not dealing with as many versions.

 

class CfgFactionClasses
{
class UK_ARMED_FORCES
{
 displayName = "UK Armed Forces";
 priority = 8;
 side = 1;
};
};

 
class CfgVehicleClasses
{
class RKSL_RAF_Air
{
 displayName = "Royal Air Force (RKSL)";
};
class RKSL_RN_Air
{
 displayName = "Royal Navy FAA (RKSL)";
};
class RKSL_AAC_Air
{
 displayName = "Army Air Corps (RKSL)";
};
class RKSL_RMC_Air
{
 displayName = "Royal Marines Air (RKSL)";
};
class RKSL_UK_TRACKED
{
 displayName = "Army Tracked (RKSL)";
};
class RKSL_UK_SUPPORT_ARMY
{
 displayName = "RAF Support (RKSL)";
};  
class RKSL_UK_SUPPORT_ARMY
{
 displayName = "Army Support (RKSL)";
}; 
};

Bloody hell £1 billion a year for FIST and THATS what they come up with? Lmao I think they need to go more in the way of the US 'Land warrior', although this kit would be useless in electronic warfare.

FIST is an enigma that gets wheeled out by ITDU every now and then to show off how advanced we, the British are. That we have no money to even consider just operational roll out of half of the technology seems to never get mentioned.

[STALKERGB 6]

Right seeing as England played so well against Germany (sarcasm off), I'll get round to uploading my units in a bit, just taking final screenshots and going through the final test run to check for errors.

And when released naming it British 3 RIFLES pack? :j:

[Cyteless 10]

Good news, mate. I hope you're pleased with your hard work. I'm certain the community will be.

[stevevcb 3]

Mega news, the units look like they've really come on in leaps and bounds.

[STALKERGB 6]

@Jonny_Li and ALL.
