Wow, you did all that in just 3 hours!?!? That looks fantastic!

I had no idea H&K changed the grip on the 416/417... It looks a lot more comfortable to hold than the previous grip design.

One last thing - the front sight you see in the pic I linked on the last page is permanently attached on to the barrel, and folds down when not in use. Here's a pic of a Norwegian one here which shows how it folds down.

It's not permanently attached, it's held in place by one screw, and is easily removed.;)

It's kind of weird because it has two different options for front sights... the flip-up one you mentioned which can be accompanied by a flip-up rear sight to remain out of the way of optics, and then it has the rail mounted front sight which does not flip down as shown here:

(notice the lack of the flip-up front sight)

Yeah, that sort of sight makes more sense for a short barreled rifle, as with the fold down one would extend beyond the barrel.

Vilas, I think the best thing to do is find pics of GROM troops with the 416 and see how they have their weapons set up.

Here's one -

That crane stock looks a bit flat, but maybe it's just the angle. Anyways, everything else looks great!

[vilas 477]

i don't have stock photo from above, so i don't know how thick is it in real life

if you have such, please show, addon will be better

Nice sights, can you show any photos of it on the '416?

[GD Mast 0]

Wow Vilas... good lord that's beautiful work. :cool:

Was looking at your infantry pics and I noticed the length of the camo top. Sleeves look perfect but the length below the waist should be lower. Bottom of the jacket/top should be at crotch. It seems the bottom pockets are where the waist should be. They should be below that. Is that a BI thing?

GROM soldier (Polish version of Multicam with little changed colours and spots)

hmm... i was using BIS soldiers models for my addons (Arma 1 models)

i know some things are not like in real life human proportions, but remodelling, changing UV would be months of job

[GD Mast 0]

I wouldn't change it then. Looks like a BI thing anyways. Thanks for your hard work Vilas. :)

[konaone 10]

Congratulations Vilas, very very beautiful work!

One question: why in the role of commander, I can not with marder and other armored to lock enemy as on the original armored of Arma?.

I identified an imperfection to the Track

right of marder????????.

sorry for my bad English

Will you make any special forses for NPL? I mean Special Forces like Force Recon operators in USMC, cap's, random uniforms (like in razor team half woodland, half marpat) boonie hats, glasses etc.?

like these operators:

YAC will do GROM

and photo you show, shows BOR (Bureau of Protection of Government ) cause they have patches and G36

i don't make BOR , CBA , CBS and other specialized agencies

but of course bandana and baclava will be on heads

bandana on desert soldier for example with SAKO or sand-painted Beryl (not made yet, but will be made)

but i don't competee with YAC, so i don't touch recon special forces like GROM, it is his hobby

i do normal regular soldiers, maybe some airborne soldiers, boonie will be on head of guy with SVD, glasses are randomly given by game engine

also probably "multicama" will be only in YAC addon (Grom will be in desert pantera, woodland pantera and multicamo versions as i know)

hi:)

for those who were saying they want to see new Polish quality soldiers in game

i have added "new beta" version http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/vilas_npl_a2.7z

it is still under construction, it is under the same link as old file, it is just backup in case of HDD crash

some vehicles have to be done : Dana howitzer, Hummer + NSV, Honker PKM and other

but i just notice that new uniforms and models in higher quality and HK 416 and SAKO TRG are added

of course it still unfinished

but horrible 2007/2008 textures are finally gone

previous version was Arma1 port, now this addon has good quality as on screens:

desert textures will be also updated and more desert soldiers models will be added

[Binkowski 26]

Thanks for the update vilas! Good work as always. Downloading now.

[Hvymtal 1251]

Like the new '416, guarantee it will be pretty popular.

Any way of getting this on a SWAT guy? I like the G36 EOTech sd, but the HK fits more as a SWAT weapon to me, as i'm a yank and most SWAT guys over here use the M4A1 as their AR, and a 416 on one of these guys w/o using wep boxes would be great thx in advance :)

or boo :mad: whichever comes first :p

BUG in driver (WDL) and in desert Grenadier, Main cannon in Rosomak not working...

PS:

Someone Should make replacement for CDF ;) (CDF->WP)

[superrat 10]

there are several hand grips issues in polish addon vilas i am assure youre probably awere of it but got one more quest. for you in p85 opfor side selfpro. arty. works with arty. module but i tried blufor selfpro. arty. kinda doesnt show that icon on map where to shoot

[vilas 477]

hand grip issues:

- BIS animation from Mk48, but Beryl has handgrip in place where it has, so impossible to move , i would have to create custom animation to Beryl handgrip

- Maza, what bugs with grenadier ? Rosomak cannon should work as it is defined, but mostly beta number 3 is to show new uniforms, as it is w.i.p. and in home i am preparing airborne troops with DMV etc.

- Binkowski, yes, you are right, but also i must do green uniforms which some of SWAT now have

it is all w.i.p. but of course you are right about equipping SWAT in 416 too (CQB EOT and SD)
