Next month this topic is going to be 6 months old!! AFAIR new version of ECP supposed to be released in a few weeks and its still not finished? Why? Betatests sure, but why not public? This would be much faster way of testing I m starting to have doubts about the release of this mod

Please make new Island. Afghanistan even as good as AGS is not similar to Iraq :/.
-
Truly splendid addon. And the best part is that all old missions still work on it
-
There is nothing for ofp on this site. Don't bother.

Me and a few others like Miles for example  . Great, so I asume You two are volunteers for recording your voices in Pashtu language (since our friend has dificulties in finding Pashtu voices)? I can't wait!!

Well there is no alternative. If not heavy metals then chemical warhead would be required, And guess what, chemicals could be even more toxic than DU Well, you seem to have language problem. Wolfram is Tungsten . So it's also heavy metal and not less toxic than DU . I m sorry I just can't understand what you're trying to say. Can you explain it?

So, just as I thought you are nothing more than propagandist. Well, which government controls UN? US government? Please don't stultify yourself with this conspiracy theories. All I m saying is that there are no evidence of health problem according to WHO. If you had at least a little criticism you would search WHO web site and read more about it. Instead you are refering to some web site which supports your theory of DU. That's pure propaganda and I wouldn't be surprised if you had belonged to some green, antiglobalistic, anarchistic or any other new leftist group wich has its own theories and visions even opposit to facts presented by United Nations. But tell me then what is the purpose of this topic? Is it to discuss the subject or to scrach your back and convince others to your theories? If its the latter then there is no reason to participate in this topic.

You still havn't read these reports. So, say, you have already make up your mind huh? Not much scientific attitude. Some of the tanks etc. were destroyed close to roads, in villages and so on and not "in the woods". How should the people stay away from such wrecks when they're in their direct surrounding? I'm sure the author of the statement never saw kids playing on such wrecks! Not to mention that the author did forget that his WHO-friends already stated that DU can make it's way to the atmosphere and is not an areal problem. Greetz Plage I see so you basicly say that US agency WHO is lying and only you have knowledge of the ultimate truth? Sorry, but you make me laugh. All my quotes are from WHO reports and if you think that WHO is lying then maybe you should publish your truth to WHO. Who knows maybe you will convince them. Until then I'll stick to the opinions of WHO not some unknown profesor ok?

Operation Frenchpoint Puma has good flight model. Their Gazzele seem to be right too.

T.S.C.Plage I m not going to argue with you as long as you are not going to read WHO reports on DU. For me some unknown profesor (publishing on unknown website and mostly in german) has no authority, but WHO has and If WHO says that DU can't cause harm then they are probably right. This files on unknown site that you show as evidence is just pure propaganda. How 1500 people can die of cancer if much much bigger Chernobyl meltdown caused health problem only in 15000 people?? DU is less radioactive than pure Uranium then how so low quantities like in shells can cause bigger death rate than huge Chernobyl meltdown? It can't thats why the site you are refering to is propaganda. Read what WHO says about DU. Go on read these WHO reports World Health Organisation report on DU http://www.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA54/ea5419a1.pdf "Depleted uranium has several peaceful applications: as counterweights or ballast in aircraft, radiation shields in medical equipment used for radiation therapy and containers for the transport of radioactive materials." "For the general population, it is unlikely that the exposure to depleted uranium will significantly exceed the normal background uranium levels." "CONCLUSIONS: RESEARCH Gaps in knowledge exist and further research is recommended in key areas that would allow better health-risk assessments to be made. In particular, studies are needed to clarify our understanding of the extent, reversibility and possible existence of thresholds for kidney damage in people exposed to depleted uranium. Important information could come from studies of populations exposed to naturally elevated concentrations of uranium in drinking-water." So still there are no scientific proof that DU can do more harm than natural existing Uranium. Oh and there is something about Balkans too http://www.who.int/inf-pr-2001/en/pr2001-22.html "Measurements of environmental DU at selected sites in Kosovo (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) indicate localized contamination (within a few tens of meters of impact sites) at the ground surface. This suggests that the likelihood of health consequences to the local population is very low unless people are active at the impact sites or the DU progresses in significant quantities to the food chain or ground water."

Parts taken and translated from "Curse And Tragedy Of The Uranium Misuse (German; Version 1.3)" by Prof. Dr. A. Schott (Head of the World Depleted Uranium Center - WODUC) http://www.woduc.de/Html/Downloads_DE.htm I could give much more infos about this but then we should really continue in the off topic sector of the forum! Greetz Plage Well, this is just an opinion of one guy, and as I can see this is site with certain "vision" of Uranium. The fact is that even ordinary shell can cause toxic gas, not mentioning that AFAIR tank armours are reinforced with DU as it is one of the hardest materials (and is quite cheap).. Take for example this World Health Organisation report on DU http://www.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA54/ea5419a1.pdf "Depleted uranium has several peaceful applications: as counterweights or ballast in aircraft, radiation shields in medical equipment used for radiation therapy and containers for the transport of radioactive materials." "For the general population, it is unlikely that the exposure to depleted uranium will significantly exceed the normal background uranium levels." "CONCLUSIONS: RESEARCH Gaps in knowledge exist and further research is recommended in key areas that would allow better health-risk assessments to be made. In particular, studies are needed to clarify our understanding of the extent, reversibility and possible existence of thresholds for kidney damage in people exposed to depleted uranium. Important information could come from studies of populations exposed to naturally elevated concentrations of uranium in drinking-water." So still there are no scientific proof that DU can do more harm than natural existing Uranium.

Yea. Can't agree more . That's true. No not has, could result but there are no proof for this. Ilnesses could also be a result of many other factors (antibiowar drugs, chemical factories, chemical weapons storages destroyed by alies or even burning oil wells set on fire by Saddam - this could all be one of the factors)
-
Well the trouble is , that Gulf War Syndrome is most likely caused by injections of anti-bio war medicines and dozens of chemical factories destroyes by allied planes durrin GW. There are absolutely no scientific proof that DU can do harm. Sure it can cause health problems but mostly to the ctew of a tank hit by DU . All those programs that say that DU is bad, AP mines are bad, Cluster bombs are bad, it's just antiwar (far left) lobby propaganda. DU isn't much toxic than chemical propelant of shells, AP mines are best way to stop/slow down invasion and cluster bombs are still one of the most effective ways to halt enemy's columns. Sometimes I wander if antiwar lobby isn't financed by guns lobby as they allways seem to protest against efective weapons and thus do everything to make war last longer and cost more money/human lives etc. Still biggest killer and the most inhuman weapon is small arms like infameous Kalashnikov, which killed more people and civilians than any other weapon including nukes.

Sorry, but You can even eat pure Uranium as Uranium's molecule is very big and can't be inhaled by human's digesting system. It's green's propaganda that talks about DU. Even the Chernobyl disaster in modern scientific findings shows that in 50 years time only 15 thousend people would be affected by this. What's more, far more damage to enviroment is daily done by cars and coal/oil energy plants than all nuclear energy plants. Greens are liers as they don't care about enviroment, cause nuclear energy is purest of all available today (except wins, but that's totaly inefective way of colecting energy).

Patriotic?? Are you insane that you seem not to see the difference between game and RL? I m not British nor Argentinian and I don't give a shit about it. Many people already said their complaints about sides issue. If creators don't care about it they shouldn't release this mod anyway. If they want to do it for themselves then why the hell they put it on official forum?? I think mods are made for players not for makers. I can't play this mod if I can't play 3rd party addons. I.e. I want to use addons like Land Rovers or USA planes forced to land on Falklands, or maybe some more modern soldiers from other mods and guess what? I cant because of this moronish attitude toward sides!!
-
I found very annoying bug. I have a mission where I fly as gunner in helicopter. AI is pilot. On my rout to target I have a WP where pilot should hover (WP-Guard, secure, slow speed etc - normally all helicopters hover motionless) but when I changed helicopter to this AH-64 pilot doesn't stop, but instead it is turning constantly around WP!! Something is definately wrong as I tried many addons like BIS, BAS, OFrP and other 3rd party helis and they all worked fine. Only this addon doesn't.
-
C'mon who are they doing this for then? Uncompatible mod, mostly in spanish, lots of CTDs. Sorry but thats lame
-
Can somebody post crouch-walking animation screen? I did everything right step by step of Sanctuary's guide and although I can crouch-walk I see only the same animation as when I walk normally. Why? Am I doing something wrong?
-
Yup. Mi-35 is export version of the Mi-24V/HIND E Mi-35P is Export version of the Mi-24P/HIND F
-
Exactelly. Sad part is that this mod is going to die if it cant be used with another parties addons. That's really stupid
-
Very nice improvements. Keep up good work.
-
Hi, I m looking for some MP server where people can play Operation Frenchpoint mod (especially coop missions). If anybody knows such server please post info about it. Thanx
-
These hills look like from Airwolf mod or sth.
-
AFAIR it was and is more commonly known as L1A1.

Registered to RJ Harroff Business Associates, together with N393MA (another Mi-8 MTV1) and other stuff - Air America's new trading name (amongst many others...) Rats404 Hmm where did you find that info?
