manzilla 1 Posted February 24, 2010 Fromz I can find some freeware PLA aircraft models if ya want. There are some pretty good ones out there... He had some last time I talked with him. Not sure to what extent though. They were actually working before he released the first version but he had a lot more stuff to do yet. This was about 3 months ago and to be honest, I've barely seen him around too ofter since then. Try shooting him a PM, you may have better luck that way. Just a thought.

Nikogo_Ne_Zhalko 10 Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) I have the latest version but I'm still only getting English voices, anyone might know what the problem is? edit: I found the problem I think, apparently the voices for the PLA soldiers only work if I start up ArmA 2. They don't work with Combined Ops or Arrowhead. Edited July 20, 2010 by Nikogo_Ne_Zhalko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 128 Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) pla is not available for ace2 anymore (OA version). hoping this mod will be planned to be updated as it adds great variety in combats. edit - and the armedinfo link for the patch asks me for a password, etc. Edited August 28, 2010 by twisted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gossamersolid 155 Posted September 5, 2010 It's a shame he doesn't seem to be active anymore, this is high quality stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defunkt 431 Posted September 5, 2010 Yes, it's odd the way Fromz and Alex.XP (i.e. two very high quality PLA mods) vanished at the same time. Still at least we have the OHM units, not used them much but as I understand it most of the problems are configuration issues and could be resolved with an additional addon layered on top if some modder(s) with time took an interest.

Bushidozeb 10 Posted December 7, 2010 Will it be any more updates on ACEX_PLA and PLA Standalone Fromz. Or is the Project "dead" :confused: ?? I really liked the PLA expansion.:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clawhammer 10 Posted December 7, 2010 An Operation Arrowhead update with desert units and finally more air defence and an Attack jet would make this awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manzilla 1 Posted December 7, 2010 I hope everything is alright with Fromz. He's been MIA for a while. Unless I just missed him. Take care bud! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*zeewolf* 4 Posted December 7, 2010 I think there's still some activity on this or a similar VME PLA mod judging from this thread at the VME forum. Babelfish doesn't work too well so is there anyone here who can read chinese, and would care to translate what's going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manzilla 1 Posted December 7, 2010 Yes please! Good find, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fludblud 10 Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) speaking of fromz's blog, scroll down in this post and check out the PLA tank simulators, look familiar? in adddition i checked the VME forums and came across this post about this PLA "mechanized infantry tactical coordination training system", from what i gather it seems that either VME, fromz or both of their mods are being used by the PLA for training. http://www.chinavme.com/thread-14594-1-1.html can anyone decipher it? my chinese is pretty sh!t and translators aernt very good, would like to know more and it probably explains their sudden long inactivity if their work has been diverted to more serious means. EDIT: check out this documentary on CCTV7 (chinese military channel), much footage of a very updated OHPLA in action in OA. fromz seems to have been very busy. http://space.tv.cctv.com/video/VIDE1280127685121887 Edited December 7, 2010 by fludblud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*zeewolf* 4 Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) What grabbed my attention was the December 1st 2010 bit at the top of the thread and the fact there's a reference to a download address near the bottom of the opening post. Unfortunately I think it says something about not being able to view the dl link if you're a guest. I've just got a feeling that somewhere on the VME board they've released some stuff for beta testing. check out this documentary on CCTV7 (chinese military channel), much footage of a very updated OHPLA in action in OA. fromz seems to have been very busy. http://space.tv.cctv.com/video/VIDE1280127685121887 Wow nice find, that's a pretty long video, they must talk about release dates at some point?

It's amazing to see a games mod get so much attention especially considering it's getting used by the PLA.

gossamersolid 155 Posted December 7, 2010 I remember a thread on this forum that had some chinese players talking about getting together to play. Somebody should ask one of them to obtain a download link for us here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*zeewolf* 4 Posted December 7, 2010 I remember a thread on this forum that had some chinese players talking about getting together to play. Somebody should ask one of them to obtain a download link for us here. Yeah, given the amount this has progressed versus the amount of time since the last release I think we really need to make an effort to find out what's going on rather than relying on fromz anda few others to keep spoon feeding us.

fludblud 10 Posted December 7, 2010 not to mention some of the footage in the documentary had PLA in desert kit fighting insurgents in takistan, im willing to bet the mod has been updated significantly but we need to find the download link! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A DL link to something is definately in the first post in this thread. Given that later on it the thread they start talking about bugs on WZ-10s and Mi-17s I'd say it's worth a go. Look at the babelfish translation it says "Downloading address: Tourist, if you must examine that this placard hideaway content please reply" I think that means you need to be a member to see the link. Maybe someone with some vague knowledge of chinese can sign up and get the link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*zeewolf* 4 Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Errr, to me "the other PLA mod" (VME PLA mod) and OHPLA's textures and models look incredibly similar. I wouldn't be surprised if they were part of the same thing. Regarding the download for Arma1. Do you have CAA1 for Arma 2? I'm betting the soldier models won't work but vehicles might. EDIT: And when you say "out" that VME thread is completely dead. ---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ---------- Ok, thank god I have a knowledge of how forums work lol.I managed to sign up and got in. The mod is for ARMA and not ARMA2 I've signed up and posted a thread politely asking for information. Their english will be better than our chinese.
