bogdanm 0 Posted August 28, 2009 That's what I think too as it's the same technique. I uploaded a screenshot which shows the differences between FLIR compatible units (left) and "normal" units (right): Now I'm really confused. I want to ask some questions before saying anything else in case I didn't understand properly. Is the screenshot from VBS2 right? The units on the left are VBS2 units while the units on the right are ArmA units? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogdanm 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Correct. Well than this is what I ment when I said that the ARMA2 units will be invisible to FLIR. Ok, not invisible but very hard to distinguish from the surroundings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p75 10 Posted August 28, 2009 Well than this is what I ment when I said that the ARMA2 units will be invisible to FLIR. Ok, not invisible but very hard to distinguish from the surroundings. As long as the community will provide the conversion, using torrents to distribute the modded textured for the Arma 2 resources, I don't see a problem. But the fact is, that the community needs to actual do it......would be nice to actual know what to do beforehand so that the conversion will be ready for Operation Arrowshead launch. Instead of doing it after the release date. Wolle, could you provide some details how to do it? Ask BIS to provide this data so we can already start the conversion......that is if the VBS2 technology is used and BIS knows exactlt how they plan to use the technique for OA.

W0lle 1052 Posted August 28, 2009 A few pages back DM explained more or less how its done, he knows way more than I ever will. :) I'm sure sooner or later BIS will reveil how it's done and the community can start working on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm 9 Posted August 28, 2009 I don't see a problem. Thats because you dont see much else either. Unless BI releases the source models for all of the A2 content, which is unlikely for at least a year (as was seen with ArmA, but there wasnt an expansion pack in development then) its just not going to happen.

Yes, I guess you have a point there.........still, it would be nice for BIS to act on this.......in essence we would be helping them out........by pleasing the Arma 2 customers........maybe a group of volunteers can do it, that would limit the distribution of these source files.......coupled to some NDA.......

dingyisun 10 Posted August 28, 2009 Ideally, the coders at BIS would re-work the FLIR system from VBS 2 so that it would be compatible with both the vanilla ArmA 2 units as well as the new units that will be introduced in OA. Don't know which method's easier/more-practical, though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max power 21 Posted August 29, 2009 Did you read the words: feels like.....yea but even that is broken, the grass distance fades away from a distance leaving you exposed and vulnerable. It also depends on where the battle is taking place, there aint much bushes and puddles in iraq for example :rolleyes: Well, for A2 they said they were working on a grass solution.

Steakslim 1 Posted August 29, 2009 I'm kinda hoping that the 70km urban section of OA has at least one Avgani size town, or maybe larger, but just at least one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex72 1 Posted August 31, 2009 Will we get M110's in OpA? :) BIS please if you do bring us that rifle - can we get the silenced one as well? Would be nice for some silenced attacks on villages etc. Just to take out the outer guards and so on. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
