Hey TB please let the flamers get on with the flaming if that is their desire, they will be the ones getting a PR! My advice is to stay focused with U're great packs and keep this thread on topic! Â The best way to handle critics is to rise above them! I personally don't see what all the fuss is about, maybee I'm just too long in the tooth but it's all just too trivial to me! Â At my age you learn to know that life is a bit too short for this sort of trivia! Get on with life and enjoy it ...that's what OFP was supposed to be all about! Â I'm looking forward to playing with these great packs and enjoyimg the work of all those great comunity addons. Alternatively I would probably never know they even existed! Looking forward very much to these great packs! Stay focused and keep up the great work! Â

All this is true! The problem is that BIS work in strange ways! We never quite know what their next move will be and we're always taken by surprise! Â I guarantee their website will soon get updated, but it will be in a totally unexpected way and with totally new and unseen content! ...thats just BIS! Â

Nordic islands, Maybe there would be a replacement version which could be released later. That'll do nicely! Â Also those tanks are looking perfect! Â Btw, are U still using RAF Chinooks only I don't see any markings on those? Looking very good! Â

TB can we have Santas sledge instead of the Lynx? I've been in touch with Santa and he sais that U have permission to use it provided he can have it back for 24 hours once every Christmas eve! Also if U modify it in any way for carrying weapons please be sure to inform him properly - just incase he accidentally shoots his reindeers while using it for deliveries! Â Get some well deserved sleep TB, we're all really looking forward to the release of your packs! Â Â Like I said before if U have to delay things to get things properly sorted then we will all understand that! Get the best addons, that's what U've always done and we all really appreaciate your hard work in putting all this together! Â

Just who are you quoting here? I've not read this anywhere! I don't see anyone being disrespectfull to addon makers! Addon makers have been the hub of this comunity and we all respect their work! Please keep it in perspective. Like I said if U have issues then discuss it privately, not here thank you! Â

Agreed! If any of U addon makers have issues with TB84 regarding the way he is using U're addons, then please do it privately 'cos we simply don't wanna hear it! Â I understand where U lot are coming from and I have no disrespect for U're feelings! Just not here please! Â Merry Christmas! Â

With any rapid fire hand held automatic weapon U get a kind of  'thrust' effect from the kickback of each bullet in succession. Once U've got this 'thrust' under control the gun settles down somewhat and becomes a little more steady and therefor accuracy increases slightly after the first few shots throw it off target. Thus automatic fire is more accurate than burst. I don't know how accurately these effects can be simulated in OFP and whether its just one accuracy value for each different weapon and each mode of fire? In which case the accuracy values will just have to be estimated with these considerations in mind  .

Don't rush TB! Let him take his time and do a good job! Â . I would rather the packs were delayed than incomplete! Anyhow we should all be spending quality time with our family on Christmas day ..not glued to a PC monitor shouting SHIT every time U get shot!! Â This new release is sounding awsomeTB! Don't be rushed ..release it when it's ready! Â Â

More like my choppy understanding of computers! Â Modifying wrp and pbo files is not something that I have ventured as far as yet. Relacing files ...eah no problems! In the absence of detailed instructions I think I'll just wait around a while n'see if someone else comes up with an easyer replacement option! Â Thanks anyhow! Â

Cleaned and waxed?! Gimme a break! No one waxes tanks! I say let TB show us some more pics in different lighting conditions etc., and then we'll pass judgement. Â Â

I think that the tanks look fine TB. So long as U can't actually see U'r reflection in them then the metal effect is about right. I was at a tank museum last summer and although the lighting wasn't that good inside, I can tell U there was an awfull lot of shiny metal in there! Â It doesn't matter how much matt paint U put onto metal - it will always look like metal! And what about when the tanks are wet?!. Â Thats why tanks often use cammo netting to avoid being spotted in some battle situations. Â I think that it is possibly that last picture that is causing concern where it looks like reflections are quite strong down the side of the track guards. Maybee if U can post a few more pics of that one at different angles etc it will show it differently. Â Meanwhile keep up the good work. Â PS. Dont forget that Nordic pack! Â Â

I think it's a great move! BIS will have much more control over the marketing and timing of the games release etc., and they wont have to sell the rights to their title to some money spinning market grabber! Â BIS are no longer in the same boat as they were 4 years ago when they were nothing more than a rookie development studio trying to make a name for themselves. Then they needed the financial support of a large publisher and were forced to make deals with them! Now they are a financial success in their own right and perfectly capable of handling the marketing of their products the way they now feel is best for their future. They have their experiences with Codemasters behind them, they must have learned a lot from that. Â

Looks like U're gonna have to get a tin of matt paint out TB!

They're not so much shining than catching light at different angles - hence dynamic lighting. TB's also probably got the sun out at noon on June 21st for maximum effect! Â I think the tanks look very good personally as does the MI8. Since BIS's models have always looked a bit dull I think this will add a lot more realism to them. Â So long as TB doesn,t give them a wax and polish it,ll be just fine! Â Nice work as always I sais! Just hoping he implements Berghoffs Nordic Nature pack! Â

Mountain streams trickling over mossed covered rocks with ferns abounding! Waterfalls cascading over narrow cliffs deafening a bystander gazing at the spray! Streams at the end of fields, half hidden by nettles just waiting for the unwary rambler! Elevated mountain lakes with the sound of small waves laping at the pebble shore and noisy fast flowing rivers too dangerous to wade through and too fast for a boat, crossed only by bridges! Â Maybee in game 2 if they delay its release for long enough! Â Ya, I would really love to see some kind of moving water simulated in ARMA. But if it was not done propelry it would look stupid. Also streams and rivers need to have recessed terrain to flow in. Also how many different sizes and types of streams and rivers would need to be implemented? Would the animated water cause lag problems if there was lots of it? Lets hope that something will be done. But let's only hope! Â

Thanks for that LennyD! I've actually already got Berghoffs Nordic islands working with WGL's textures. But what I and a few others are trying to do is to have Berghoffs Nordic islands with WGLs replacement textures as direct replacements for the BIS islands so that the original missions/campaigns can be played with them.  It seems no one has yet done this yet although i'm sure it could be done! Or maybe I missread Mr Burns post?

I wouldn't worry! Expected release dates always get pushed back! Â

WGL islands pack. Ehe! Ehe! Sneaky answer! . CameronMcDonald also asked: And which nature pack? Is that the Nordic one? Â . Anyway, looking brilliant TB! Â Looking forward to Christmas! Â Â

How to de´pbo a pbo file? Â

DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM! Â

I hope it's Berghoffs Nordic nature pack with WGL's texture replacement pack! Â That would truly make my Christmas! Â Â

Erm? I'm confused! Â Maybee U can write a poem so I can understand better! Â

Let's put it all down to the excitement of thunderbirds iminent new FFUR releases -- shall we?! Â

That's fine! But where's YOUR poem to support this theory!! Â

What?! ...Are U saying that U can do even MORE with OFP?! Â . Musn't miss this!! Â
