Currently the following will propably be fixed on next version due sometime soon: - Part of RPG-7V Rocket was still visible after firing - Optimizations to RPG-7V model - RPG-7 rocket initspeed was too low - RPK-74 and RPK-47 autofire sound was wrong - RPK-74 and RPK-47 "clumsiness effect" is a little bit weaker now - RPK and AK bullet tracer colors were wrong If theres any more bugs, post them here please <span id='postcolor'> Thanks for making the RPK's a little less clumsy. I appreciate that because while they look great, I hardly used them because I kept getting killed in close combat where I couldn't swing them onto a target quick enough and would get shot. I really wish that effect was removed entirely or at least greatly minimized because it really puts you at a great disadvantage compared to a regular AK armed soldier. As for other bugs I've only noticed that sometimes when the AI is carrying the RPG on their shoulder occassionally it's actually loaded with a rocket on the front. But it still looks cool, so I don't really consider it to be a bug. I must say that the RPG-7's are my favorite AT weapon now. I like that big "WOMP" explosion they make and they blow the hell out of infantry (and tanks). The sites also are superb, especially the version with iron sites. It definitely gives the feeling of firing a real one. Oh...the AI I notice isn't that accurate with the RPG-7 at long range...but actually that's a good thing because that makes it more realistic since the RPG-7 is not the most accurate AT rocket in the world and is best used at close range (under 150 meters). Plus it's scary as hell seeing those RPG rockets fly by your APC and explode right next to you. Oh....one last thing.... Using a similar method of killing as your drill addon would it be possible to add a bayonet to the AK-103/107 rifles? That is one addon that I've been waiting for someone to make but I'm not sure if the game engine would allow that. But if anyone can do it I'm sure you'd be the one to make it. Maybe with a "KILL!!" yell instead of a gunshot sound each time you "fire" the bayonet. Anyways, I'm sure you have a zillion other addons in the works, but that's just a thought. Keep up the great work and I'm very much looking forward to the revised versions of your weapons pack! They are simply amazing! Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

Scary stuff when those RPG-7 rockets go wooshing by outside your Patria.   But anyways I'm looking foward to swapping the Dutch Patria out for the international version once you guys make one. At least it won't look as strange with U.S. or British troops mounted in them. Oh...and I hope you all will eventually make one with a 20mm or 25mm autocannon on it. That idea someone else had about an ambulance version is also a great idea!  Keep up the excellent work!!!  Your Patrias will be seeing heavy combat! Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

I just tried this addon out and I must say that is perhaps the finest amored vehicle addon made so far. Â The interior is well done, the driver's compartment is superb, the sound is great, and it handles very well. Â However.... Â My biggest beef with it is the fact that it has the flags and the big DFOR painted all over it. Â As someone else mentioned this SERIOUSLY limits the missions it can be used for. Â I mean sure I could just ignore the flags and stuff and pretend it's a U.N., U.S., APC or something, but it would be very nice if a version could be made without all the national symbols. Â I really would love to make a great mission with it but unfortunately I know next to nothing about the Dutch, Finnish, ect.. military forces. Â So if anyone could reskin it at least to remove the flags and the big DFOR, I would greatly appreciate it. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

However I must add some balanced comments as well that I hope you take as constructive criticism Keg. It is mainly concerned with the RPK. The RPK's are NOT clumsy to work with and while they look nice, they are extremely slow to get the sites lined up on a target. That sluggishness can get you killed. These weapons are still relatively light weight weapons and are not hard to bring on target at all. It's much easier to bring a weapon like the RPK to bear on a target then something like a PK or M60 machine gun. I fired both the M60 and the M249 SAW and it never was any problem getting the sites on a target very quickly. So if you can please return the sites to normal or at least post a cpp.config fix for those of us that don't want the slow sites on the RPK's. Also, while the drum magazine was nice it would have nice to see also see a version (maybe a Resistance version) with an extended banana clip rather then a drum magazine. Other then that however the addons are quite good. The RPG-7's especially are exceptionally good! BIS should have included those originally as they are the most famouse and most widely used AT weapons in the world. Good work Kegetys! Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

Martin is one of the most skilled modelers and I think very much deserves Oxygen as very few people could do what he did without Oxygen without ungodly amounts of patience and dedication. While Martin could just work with someone else that has Oxygen the problem with that is that then your precious models fall at the whim of those who are converting them to Oxygen whereas if you have Oxygen you can modify and customize the addon exactly to the way you want it. I think one of the Danish mod teams already "oxygenized" his Huey's by adding a MG-42 as a door gun. However it would be nice if they made something a tad more realistic like putting an M60 on it. Better yet it would be nice if they worked closely with Martin who I think has a better idea of what a Huey should look like, shoot like, and sound like. At any rate I think there is little doubt that Martin could do some really amazing addons if he was given Oxygen. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

I don't think the Soviet Union used those in the 1980's? Those were replaced by the Mig-21. Better I think would be the Mig-21, Mig-23, and Mig-27 fighters. A Su-24 Fencer would be lovely as well but I'm not sure if those were operational in the mid-80's. The ASU-85 assault gun would be nice though. It was used during this time period by the Soviet and Polish airborne divisions. Another good armor addon might be the PT-76 amphibious light tank. As for light weapons, there is already an RPK addon made by Christoph that's not too bad. There is also already a TOW missle launcher addon in addition to several 82nd and 101st airborne unit addons. Personally I'd like to see a RPG-7 addon (which will be tricky because the rocket sticks out of the launcher so maybe some creative animations and/or cpp scripting would have to be used). A BM-21 MLRS and a SPG-9 recoiless rifle would be cool also. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

Recently I've been trying my hand tinkering around with the jp233 section of the G8 Tornado addon trying in vain to get the AI to use it properly. The good news is that I have gotten the AI to use the JP233 very nicely. The bad news is that even with the damage range set very low (hit=100;indirectHit=50;indirectHitRange=5, The AI keep killing themselves because they dive in really low when they do the JP233 attacks. Is there any way to get the AI to keep from swooping so low? In other words is there any way in the CPP file of the addon to force the plane to fly at a higher altitude. I've already tried the "this flyinheight 200" script in the plane's init box on the mission editor, but that doesn't do a thing in OFP version 1.75. I can lower the damage levels even more but if I lower them anymore or if I lower the indirecthitrange setting further, then they do hardly any damage to the targets on the ground. So I've decided that the problem seems to be simply that the Tornado AI pilots just fly too damn low! LOL! Yes Yes I know they do that in real life, and while it looks spectacular when they fly that low, it's less then spectacular when they keep blowing themselves up. Does anyone have any advice to get them to fly higher. I don't think that the Su-25 pilots ever attack at altitudes that low and only rarely have I ever seen the A10 pilots fly like that. Either that or is there any way to make the bomblets fall any slower without blowing up the plane as it maneuvers or dives? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

I guess I can just message him if nobody else knows how to modify this. I'm also intersted in the height setting because for future addons like for bombers, ect... It's gonna look kinda lame having them flying at low altitudes when they are high alititude aircraft. I can understand how it might be difficult to make the aircraft fly lower, but I hope that at least BIS makes a patch that allows them to fly higher. That shouldn't be that difficult for them to do.

Actually using civilians as human shields can be simulated in OFP, well at least you can put civilians in front of gunmen or that move around with the gunmen. Also you can easily put soldiers in buildings using certain scripts as long as you have the right height and the right positions in the buildings, so there is plenty of possibilities for close quarters combat in buildings (that are open) and around buildings. The only thing that sucks is that "Real Chaser's" BHD mod is the only one that anyone is doing a Somalia map for.

I had some others almost finished (like one Angolan Civil War mission) but unfortunately they also used the Desert Malden map so I need to redo those also for Resistance unfortunately. But after the two hostage missions I'm working on, (including one where I got the AI MH-6 pilots to land on a apartment roof consistently) I plan on either making some more missions for a "War on Drugs" mod and also some British military missions using various British unit and weapons addons.

It's a great resource of info, maps, pictures, audio, video, and all kinds of other good stuff concerning that mission in Somalia. The URL for the maps is: http://inquirer.philly.com/packages/somalia/maps.asp I hope that helps some. Because honestly I don't think I want to start a version 3 of my BHD mission until someone makes a decent Mogadishu map because otherwise I might waste tons of time and energy making a version on the West Coast of Nogovo, only to have to re-do it again if someone makes a Mogadishu map. Obviously any Mogadishu won't be exactly like the real thing (with the Olympic hotel and stuff) but hopefully close enough with a airport to start off from, the main city (with plenty of ruins of buildings mixed with other types of buildings) and maybe a U.N. compound (for the Pakistani troops). However you might want to wait until OFPinternals releases that new version of WRPedit so you can add in Resistance buildings. Some of the bigger apartment buildings would be good for parts of Mogadishu as well as alot of the new ruins and stuff in Resistance that are brown colored and fit better in a desert enviornment. Anyways, please keep us updated if you start working on this map. I'd be happy to help beta-test the map also as I could use even a rough version of the map to get started on my mission... which in turn I could give you to beta-test. Anyways I hope it works out! Many people would also like I think just for making good close quarters combat missions. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>

Can anyone point me in the direction of a mission/campaign that mirrors the plot of the film please?. Thanx. <span id='postcolor'> I have a "Blackhawk Down" mission which you can download at my missions web site which you can go to by clicking on my link in my signature. It includes the entire mission starting after Pvt. Blackburn has fallen from the blackhawk. Before that there is also a movie sequence showing the Rangers and Delta Force operators loading up and inserting into the target area. The mission is a pack also that includes several addons. The only bad thing is that the game runs extremely slow on computers under 1ghz. That is because of the large number of buildings and units I had to use. Also the info at the ending movie is incorrect on parts. But other then that it's pretty good and uses alot of nice scripts for stuff like rapelling, putting a .50 cal on a humvee and stuff like that. I plan on making a new version for 1.75 eventually because unfortunately the desert malden map doesn't work quite right in Resistance. So if you have Resistance play the mission in 1.46.

You managed to capture the amazing rate of fire this gun has and did a damn good job at it. Like I heard one of the veterans on Band of Brothers say: "It sounded like ripping canvas", which this sound modification imho does. Great work.<span id='postcolor'> Thanks, although the credit for that part of the sound should go to the guy who did the truly amazing sound work in the movie "Saving Private Ryan". As far as I know they recorded an actual MG-42 firing blanks. To compensate for the sound of the blanks (which sounds a little different then a regular round), I boosted the bass eq on the sound a bit to give it a little more thunder. I also increased the high frequency content just a little bit. But the main thing I wanted was the sound of those belt links and bullet casings dropping to the ground cuz that is the main things that captures the realism of firing a machine gun I think. At least that's one of the sounds that I remember most from firing the M249 and the M60 in the Army. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD>
