Hi, Thanks to all people who voted in the M16/camo poll, it's greatly appreciated. Haven't noticed such problems with fsk humvees, but if people would prefer to use CBT ones instead of fsks then we'd do it. Indeed, It's entirely my fault, I thought that following the fact that FDF guys have already authorized us to use some of their stuff a while ago that we'd be allowed to implement 2 more addons as long as we give'em full credits, though, but it seems it isn't the case ('was influenced by the fact that some of FDF guys already know about that and haven't shown any opposition to these replacements as well). But it doesn't matter that much, we will replace both models by Akm74 and Offtime addons that they've kindly allowed us to use. My apologies for any appearance of impropriety that was created. Best Regards Thunderbird84

Did a poll in order to get people's opinion about the current question. Please vote here. Best Regards Thunderbird84

Even VBS1? (:-p/jk)

ArmA models look incredibly good and the same goes to the new reflection effects! But as Llauma pointed out, It would be great to get more informations about some gameplay/realism additions and enhancements. Best Regards Thundebird84

Hi, A MP config would be available in the incoming FFUR 2006, we'd test it carefully online in order to make sure it won't cause any trouble. More infos available here. Best Regards Thunderbird84

Hi, OFP animations are defined in 'class cfgvehicleactions' and 'class cfgmoves'.

In my judgement, ACU camo won't fit with OFP green field, but if people would appreciate its use instead of the oldy BDU, then, we'd proceed to converting US Army personnel camo.

Hi, <span style='color:red'>Fonts:</span> OFP allows the possibility of using a couple of fonts in several sizes. e.g font bold or italic size Tahoma B 24 Here's the list of available fonts in OFP, you could include more if you wish, though. (Airwolf Mod has already proceeded to that by adding 'impact' font to the following list) <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> TahomaB24 TahomaB36 TahomaB48 CourierNewB64 Garamond64 SteelfishB64 SteelfishB128 AudreysHandB48 AudreysHandI48 <span style='color:red'>Sizes:</span> The texts sizes are mainly defined in the resouce.cpp, you can define'em by editing this line's value. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> sizeEx= e.g Size of the text x or y x or y sizeEx= "1.0714 * 0.03";

If you get a look on some previous pages, you might notice that several people have suggested implementing the M16A2 instead of the A4 because of realism, plus this has even been authentified by some militaries and ex-militaries. As far as I know, the M16A4 is mostly used by USMC guys, but glad to learn that some US army sections use it as well. Regards Thunderbird84

Hi, Sure, why not. That's why a mp config has been especially done. -> Best Regards Thunderbird84

Even if several people were satisfied of the previous FFUR 2005 framerate level, the incoming pack FPS would be a lot better because the number of addons have been decreased from ~250 to ~30 and NIM clouds have been disabled in order to enjoy people with low comps. First It depends on your CPU speed and on your DDR/SDR RAM memory then comes the grapic card, OFP should work very well even with a 2nd gen GC like 'NVIDIA TNT2' but I'd suggest the use of at least a fifth generation graphic card 'Geforce 5700...etc' (It doesn't cost more than 50$ ) in order to use DXDLL without experiencing any problem, btw, as far as I know, it would be good to keep the drivers usually updated. Best Regards Thunderbird84

Thanks, glad you appreciate it. Indeed, these civilians are well done but it would be better to wait for an updated version that would be using .paa/.pac textures instead of .JPEG. I think we won't change the music we implemented in all FFUR packs, except if some people would like to get some specifical songs in game, though, btw, Making a list of the best missions ever done for OFP might be quite hard to do cuz it'd require several days of extensive tests, I think it would be better to grab the TOP 10 missions did by BIS and to try'em out using FFUR, otherwise, just get a look on OFPEC missions section once it's fixed. Best Regards Thunderbird84

Nice movies everyone, However Maxriga and Gredya 'waw' movie is very well done, especially because of the new concept 3D/real life combination they did, and because of the huge 'Video-Editing' efforts behind it as well, I'd definitely put it in the top 5 of the best movies ever carried out for OFP. Keep up the nice work folks! Best Regards Thunderbird84

Please avoid generalizing, people behind these riots are a bunch of ignorants deeply anchored in their beliefs, and most of them are influenced by radical imams, but this doesn't make all muslims terrorists and flag-burners, though, and the hatred against muslims should not increase, otherwise it would turn to 'despair'. Best Regards Thunderbird84

Hi, The M16A2 is still used by a large part of the US army personnel and it's still the official main firearm, only USMC units carry the M16A4, though, and as far as I know, mostly units stationed outside USA use the ACU camo. This can be defined in the cfgmoves, but changing this value would make AT/LAW soldiers faster than soldiers or grenadiers, so they'd keep running faster even if they won't be carrying any rocket launcher, and that might break the realism, though. Avoided to implement it because of its big size, even without the extra stuff (~20 MB). Btw, Here's a pic of the new FFUR 2006 GUI... I hope you prefer it more than the previous one. Best Regards Thunderbird84

Ammunition values mainly mean 'bullets impacts power', but a few changes have been done on the rate of fire (most of BIS weapons rate of fire seem not that bad), though. e.g: The M249 achieves a higher rate of fire than the M60 or Coax bullets have higher rate of fire than BIS default tanks machine gun,etc... Regards Thunderbird84

Hi, BIS Jeeps have already been replaced by some other decent and quite similar hmmwvs (Fsk ones). As far as I know, Spetznatz Mod shilka's almost finished but it seems that Manfred experiences some internet problems that don't allow him putting it online. The current FFUR AI view distance is a bit higher than BIS one but that one I defined in the FFUR 2006 would allow AI units engaging targets at ~400 - 500 meters. (inspired from real combats). -------------------------------------------------------- Btw, as promised a few days ago, Here are the main contents of the incoming FFUR 2006. -Realism and Gameplay Aspects Enhancements *New menu interfaces. *Added a MP config that allows you playing online. *Updated soldiers animations with Sanctuary next gen animations pack. *Reworked the reflection effects in order to make'em less 'shiney'. *Implemented one of the most realistic ammunition values did for OFP. (Thanks to WGL). *Weapons implemented the most authentically possible. (thanks to Miles_teg and to Franze).

I think one should never generalize, there are more than 1,200 billion muslims over the world and they represent about 22% of the world's population and of course not all of them support the current events, otherwise it would simply turn to a WWIII... Even most of them condemn burning ambassies and attacking european symbols under weak pretexts, though. Emotion with political opinion can be quite nasty. Best Regards Thunderbird84

As far as I know, both sides (jewish and muslim) always drew sarcastic cartoons of each others but by keeping limits. I mean, Israelis rarely offend moslems by drawing their prophet and the same goes to muslims. Best Regards Thunderbird84

I agree with the fact that most of islamic nations provide more time and consider more efforts to religion than to some other more significant fields. But discussing about the 'bases' of islam, on its structure and how it's seen by moslems would require a deep analysis based on historical and political events. In any way, I think that one should avoid offending others beliefs unnecessarily. And once again, freedom of speech should not be uselessy used. Best Regards Thunderbird84

Freedom of speech should have some limits in order to avoid experiencing such useless problems, was it that necessary to draw ironically the moslem prophet? I think the moslem world's reaction towards the current events was really expected... And we have to know that, unlike a lot of of occidental people, most of Moslems are passionately attached to their beliefs and to their religious values. Let's keep respecting that. Best Regards Thunderbird84

Hi, We got the shilka sooner than expected, so we still need a couple of days in order to enhance some details. These pics have been done before implementing the new reworked reflection effect to the shilka. Nice texturing work! The FFUR Euro VoiceRH.pbo is the updated version of russian voices, just copy and paste it to your ffurxxx\addons folders. Btw, 'will come up asap with the list of all FFUR 2006 enhancements. Regards Thunderbird84

Hi, After several months of waiting, I'm delighted to show you the first russian shilka released for OFP intended to replace BIS oldy Zsu. It has been incorporated to the FFUR 2005, and later, we will implement it to other woodland packs as well, though. Huge thanks to RHS team and especially to Shadow NX and to Kenji who've kindly offered us their exclusive and still-unreleased Shilka. Best Regards Thunderbird84

'will adjust the 'sitting animation' in the FFUR Desert Ural. The FFUR 2005 is the top priority right now, but the other packs will be updated later as well. Regards Thunderbird84

Nice retexturing job! My choice goes to Hyk models, though, but both of them look great. Best Regards TB84

My very low 1.4Ghz, 448Sdram comp allows me keeping the control over the framerate level in order to avoid to people experiencing lag issues when new scripts and new models are implemented instead of BIS ones. That's one of our biggest priorities, though. Best Regards Thunderbird84
