It's over guys! The only ones still playing OFP are those who can't afford to get a decent PC for ArmA.

Does that new WMIK fit into a Chinook?

Not sure if I want to have the "stark militärischen stiel" (strong military stick).

Dawn Raiders A mission using Chain of Command's Command Engine Command a whole company of US Rangers on a classic airfield raid and evacuation mission Change Log: 1.01 - Fixed Endcondition - Fixed Enemy Unit Icons - Adjusted Enemy Forces Positions The Story: Two days ago in the morning hours of 13th May 1989 a right-wing extremist paramilitary group overthrew the moderate government of the small state Vilnius. The situation is chaotic and the atmosphere excited. There are credible reports that the new regime committed several acts of violence to the civilian population. Among the victims are also members of the small community of foreign nationals including US citizens. The President has ordered the evacuation of all foreign nationals in aggreement with the governments of the other nations concerned and the Security Council of the United Nations. Important stuff: This mission is still a little rough around on the edges. A few things yoo should know: I played the mission on a low-end system with view distance set to 1500 and terrain at normal with an average fps of 15-25. The intro and the initial paradrop can be a bit laggy but it gets better afterwards. During the pararop a few of your AI soldiers may die. I don't know why. It has probably something to do with the OFP engine not being able to handle such large numbers of ejects. DO NOT CALL IN THE HERCS BEFORE YOU'VE CLEARED THE AIRFIELD. Otherwise the whole operation may end with four Hercs standing burning on the runway and you being trapped on the island. CLEAR THE RUNWAY OF ALL TROOPS before landing the Hercs. AI soldiers (speaking of friendly ones now) will mess up the aircraft AI taxiing on the ground. Here again don't know why, just an OFP engine thing. Try to keep your troops outside the yellow box until the last fourth Herc landed and taxiied to the loading position Addons: You'll need two customised Addons (included in the RAR-Archive): 1. I made a quick reskin of my FLK C130 to represent a USAF C130 from 1989, it's included in this download. WARNING it's the same filename as the original FLK C130 so put it in another mod folder or backup the original file 2. In order to allow the Hercs uninterrupted movement on the airfield's taxiway I had to move the hangars and tower a few metres to the east. Otherwise they would get stuck at the tower. Here again backup the original file. Other Addons: 3. BAS RusOPFOR http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=6105 4. Hyakushiki US soldiers Pack (you only need the US soldiers from the pack)http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=10540 5. USMC Symbols http://www.downloads.thechainofcommand.net/ Check "Addon_Folder.jpg" to see how your addon folder should look like.

I highly doubt the SCO will be able to be as strong as NATO any time soon. It's just Russia wanting to play big again.

I've reworked my old model. It's completely remapped, too, haven't started new textures yet. I don't know when it'll be ready for release. Here two pics: http://lenny.liquid-skill.de/nh90_02.jpg http://lenny.liquid-skill.de/nh90_01.jpg

I agree that RKSL's release history is quite poor, but they are currently one of the most interesting mod teams out there. As far as I know RKSL got a few new members now, too. Their models looks ace, with UNN on the team I believe they'll have some of the most innovative and advanced scripts and I'm confident that they'll get the texture maps for their models done, too. RKSL only got started during the OFP time, but for ARMA it maybe as significant as BAS for OFP.

For me Malden was the best of all OFP islands (including Nogova). Loved the terrain and vegetation.

My new Pave Low model, fully textured and flying: ....if only. The model you see on the photo is Alphasim's new Pave Low. http://www.alphasim3.com/store...._id=210

Two full battalions(???) that would be something like 1000-2000 soldiers! Does it run smooth and what kind of machine do you need to simulate such a battle? In OFP battles with 2-5 companies taking part where the maximum for a reasonable performance. Anyway what you've shown so far of CEX looks great. The finished product would probably be my all-time-favourite game. If not for Armed Assault alone I'm seriously considering to buy a new PC to play CEX.

Been flying (and photographing) a bit...

Re-uploaded the file. Sry it took so long. Will try to fix some more things on this mission this weekend and I got another mission involving CE2 in the works.

It was a great concept, but somehow it didn't work. Another lesson about mod-mod cooperation.

I love the Jeep, Fischkopp. I'm repeating myself but your 80s theme rocks

oh, will reupload the file thursday night, deleted it by accident.

Speaking of whining ... I myself can't understand what a "mod-meeting" could do better than this forum, pms and emails. Trying to create some central organization within a non-commercial addon community will not work and would be useless anyway. There will always be different mod teams and addon makers with different quality standards and ways of doing things. Sharing of ideas and technology already works with what we have currently.

Checked my pms on this forum and my email account and I haven't received a message from a person called bigmike nor have I received any requests from other persons asking to port the NH90. I've no problem with other people editing my addons as long as they at least ask me and give proper credit. You don't have to take down the download since I'd be too lazy to port the thing myself but bigmike will hopefully remember that there are certain rules of how to treat each other in this community. Addonmakers are not getting any money and paying a little respect is the least thing one could do.

I think the savegame-bug is connected to the command engine, so probably yes. But with the number of friendly units involved it's unlikely that you as company commander will get killed by enemy fire. And if you stick to the recommendations regarding the handling of the Hercules landings there's little that can go wrong.

Recently bought Robert Glasper - In My Elemnt. Modern jazz heavily influenced by the Hip Hop roots of Glasper. Really diggin it.

Cool, I dig the 80s theme, probably going to do a HC1 version of the Chinook too.

Performance was ok on my old machine, set the options to 'balanced'. Key inputs is totally messed up and not usable. The lag of 2-5 secs makes it completely impossible to use hotkeys. The way the map is floating in this box of low-res desert-landscape pictures looks ridiculous. LOD-switching as mentioned looks weird, apart from that the modells closeup look superb. Gameplay is ok. Sometimes units don't attack on themselves, sometimes the Stryker try to take out enemy T72s with their .50cal. Would like to have an option to make all waypoints of all units visiblle. Couldn't find a switch to turn the ingame music out. Gets annoying after a couple of minutes. My advice, get Armed Assault and CoC's CEX. More realism, better graphics and gameplay.

Here two ingame screenshots: Fighthing through the hilly terrain north of the airfield. Preparing to attack the airfield itself. You'll probably spent most of the time over the map since the coordination of a whole company requires some work. Nonetheless the atmosphere is really nice. Especially if you're using ECP or GRAA the sound coulisse with bullets wizzing overheard and the gunfire from your platoons fighting in the distance is quite atmospheric.

My point is that military fatigues make average joes look bigger Not sure what you mean by fatigues... I'm not native english speaking... So i might understand you saying complitely wrong. But here it goes: That extra "mass" isn't flesh or bone... That stuff which needs to be hit so that one cannot function. This is what ArmA represents... It doesn't seperate flesh and cloth. If your get hit somewhere -> your dead or wounded. EDIT: Just like Abs said. I'm not sure but don't soldiers have like vehicles to some kind of firegeometry or geometry LOD which is responsible for hit detection? If that's the case you could simply make the geo LOD thinner than the actual modell.

I've carefully read your first post and already got that.

A couple more Ropucha screens. Not that much improvement but well... (click for hires) (click for hires) (click for hires)
