Well should burp out some sort of status for this bird, I gave Wolfbite a bit of help on this addon to get it done and correct a lot of bugs, and impliment some features that are now kinda the norm for OFP. So most of the issues witht he cpp and model have been fixed, its on the way back to Wolfbite to finish the skinning on the bird. I just gota do a good double check on things like the gauges and stuff. Kinda RL combat missions have been hindering me but its failrly finished for what he needed help on so. Might see this beasty in OFP fairly soon. *crosses fingers* But shes not on a back burner anymore at least. I'll see if I can take some decent screens of it in game just fer shits and giggles.

well this came from far left field but thanks fer having the the sack to release the beta. I reac a lot in OFP, maybe should release the car pack of mine also. Sure folks geta kick out of them as I did these..

Yeah you gotta go in your settings and turn some of your seings down like view distances 2000 or lower, and the detail slider, like 1/2 across, that way your machine won't have siezures in the big maps. With lot of units running around have to turn the land detail down to low also, that is a memory killer.

Well the nomex flight gloves hopefully will be replaced most troops wore the outer shell of their issued leather gloves. M60 Ammo carrier is incorrect, its a nylon bandeler pouch with a brown cardboard box to hold the shape unless the gunner and AG wore hhe ammo if they could get away with it. might make fritz PASGT helmets optional hidden selection. You know its going to cause major hastels of people whining about the helmets. Armored vehicle crews wore OD CVC coveralls. Still issued today. SF and rangers had a very bad habit of wearing the od green gear in the field. Summer weight slant pockets OD green patrol cap. with the Ranger block style done to them and the Panama style jungle boots. Might have to use John Rambos nam troopers and add a huge add deployable ruck to them.. It often varried but hell some of the still sport th green patrol caps. they buy off post that are custom altered.

actaully you play exsisting missions and campains using ffur thus repacement addon mod. most ot he stuff is setup to not break bis missions but add a bit more realisim and fun with updated graphics and units.

fina;y after many tires got it to download from the file site, well it was worth it for sure. This is a fairly massive map. and not horrible for performance kinda enjoying it a little as its large enough to fly jets over it and not pass the whole island over in a few seconds. gonna paste a CTI mission it it seeing the open areas are great for armored battles.

hate to say but usualy ver 1.1 final usualy implies that thats the last update, seeing every other mod has latched on to create their version of SLX. Maybe you should contact FFUR or WGL. WGL is gone as well. SLX is made to be compatable with most o f the other popular mods so no need to add it into it. Just run the mods together.

I got it from OFP.info not too long ago.. With most everything else, search can be your friend..

To run Tusk and other urban sytems requires lots of scripts also makes the model high polly making it unplayable due to lag, only addons to have CROWs systems were SEF humvee pack, however they vehicles were buggy and shake like taco bell dog on crack coke. Making them useless in games because your weapon system can't lock on bouncing everywhere. AI can't really handle urban ops anyway, all that well.

more like the move and shoot keeping the enemy pinned down and unable to return fire without exposing thelselves till you over take thier postion and destroy them.. WAs the big feature in the Call of Duty series games. Tony Ranger got it to work in OFP..

Well if just wanting new infantry units, I suggest the DMA reconfigs. Other wish your looking at a _lot_ of work replacing vehicles and infantry units. Then mosot fthe effects will not work due to special altered addons were used in this mod to enhance game play.

Yes it is doable, FFUR used a mp config which removed most of the mp unfriendly fx But you loose most of the fx. Now if you used a ffur based server and everyone had the same version of the game. I ran one for a while, cause the missions had features we needed. Mostly for a law enforcement simulator. Same problem with most mods, its nolonger the base game, there will always be issues with compatablity. Prettymuch its a mod your not going to easilly play against folks that do not have the simular mod. Basic prblem with mp games server has to give everyone what the others have and or see inorder to function proporly. maps, units, effects, addons, scripts you name it, when something don't mesh, the game crashes, so you have say lean animations the other players do not and the server may or maynot have it, you lean, boom you just crashed everyone and the server. The game sees you do something it cannont react due to not having said addon or anim, it crashes 90% of the time rather than give an error message. ZOFP isn't te type of engine like quake that distrubes most of the critical files to all players other than what is in the mission. So you try to connect to most mp servers with ffur they are usually going to player id bann you rather than risk the server crash. When you go through the old file check.

think giving the map screen a BFT border be pretty highspeed, I can post a pick of one its in most us combat vehicles down to the humvee now. The death animations tend to cause issues in mp games thus why most servers ban ffur users on connection. The animations tend to cause a server crash if everyone doesn't have them. RF humvee pack has the 85 to 95 floating around, they might be a bit of work finding. only a few verssions of hummvees cause they just got issued in 85.. Still considered protototypes, the M880 was the mainstay which was just a dodge pickup truck with 24 v system the Gama goat, and a few other vehicles like the mech mule.

usualy means the crator object failed to install in the dta folder. I had that problem with the vista machines. Refused to let the aplication load all the needed files SLX needs int he DTA folder, thus the geam goes to look for it to drop and can't find it and pop error message. Might have to unzip/rar everything and manually place the stuff into the folders. Then SLX will be happy.

well there are two other tracer packs you can install on your own, floating around. Tracers have always been a engine problem you get the laser shot effect, or they look correct and lag to death in a mission with a large amount of units. Same problem with sounds, the rate of fire on a lot of weapons systems in OFP will sound like crap, due to the sound being repeated over and over before its completely played. The sound of the weapon also changes in relation to where your positioned near the weapon. Like firing an M16 you hear it differently than somebody standing to your right or left side. The game engine, is a bit too old for those features. Back when OFP came out the 16 bit sound card was still the mainstay of the time. That and its still based off the SLX mod much like the older FFURs were off of Flash FX. Its still a almost 7 year old game engine, without violating BIS and hacking the engine itself to add features to the game engine directly kinda still limted to the mount of scripting that can be applied to the addons. Thus a rather diffcult job already getting everything to mesh and still function is mindboggling. As for the destroyed textures, not every hit ona vehicle destroyes it, most weapons systems are made to punch through and rattle around inside killing or incapaciting the crews. Often leaving the vehicle intact and fully operational unless catastropic ammo or fuel detonation. which would cause major fires to gut the hull, ammo cockoff common on eastern block tanks to lanch the turret 30 ft in the air. cause the turret is held on by gravity. It was implimented in the other FFURs not sure it carried on in the SLX verssions, due to the MP issues. If the addon used didn't come with damage textures, its not going to suddenly appear. Which a lot of 3rd party addons didn't. I will actualy beable to reinstall FFUR-SLX and give it a good looking over soon now I gota larger HD. =)

sorry fer the doubt post, the vsat took as crap as I hit the post message button. ;P Gawd gotta love combat deployments.

problem with adinational units in FURR is the often have to be completely redone, first removing what ever bug the addon had to begin with usualy removing any features exclusive to that addon to even up game play. Just as easy to just have said addons onstalled in your regualr addons folder. a formentioned CH53 belongs to a rather large pack of choppers, they are high detail and the textures are rather high rez. They are kinda mean to lower end computers usually more than two of them on any decent mission and map, your lagging. No permission aviable on making a bit more cpu friendly. Thus why they seldom get used in many missions. The creator refuses to support his addons, or bother making corrections to them to remove the bugs like the humvee pack, that the vehicles had a nasty geo lod bug and shook violently when sitting making gunning imposable. So users complained about the addon, thus it being part of the mod made the mod look bad. TB has at least bothered to maintain a good quality level with the game with what was aviable to use for the mod. Marines pretty much use what ever birds are in the area, often its CH47s for Army and Airforce doing the airlift ops in a lot of the hot zones. Most of the marine birds handle other logistical needs in the area like supplies and other things.

cool had monster addons that infantry ignored other than laUNCHING RPGS AT IT.. maybe this will help..

yeah another 40 year old fart here, been playing OFP since the first demo, been military advisor for most ot he mods and made a few crappy addons. Seeing I been in the military off and on since 83 ish. And had to maintain both US and Com block equipment in most jobs.

well never looked at the 40K stuff before, tried it love it now. Thanks for releasing this mod, very much appriciated. Its kinda like makes up for the lack ofa halo and Star Wars mods.

sounds more like an addon conflict than a bug, not had that problem to be honest. Not tried FFURSLX due to the lack of HD space and size of the dL on a vsat. is fairly horriable.

Thats above ground, not underground..

"Use FFUR/SLX 07 mod it replaces the defualt addons with the new thrid party addons to enhance the game to a new experiance. The enemy side also, gets updated vehicles. so the T80 and T80UM whill be a mach for the M1A2 Abrams.

Having been around here fer some time, not much in underground based SAM systems. The game engine has issues with the terrain to make putting things under ground difficult. SPAA, man portable SAMs and above ground AA are aviable. Maybe some of the Sub addons can launch from underwater. But from under ground or any landmass, its not been done. I would think the diffcult to pull off seeing caves and tunnels are a manjor issue in the game. Most of which any mad are just building in the shape of caves and tunnels.

Yes, there was IED addons made a while back, your going to have to search for them though. Not seen any news of the progress in some time. Along with VIBEDS, and Suicide bombers.
