I think Ia Trang Valley is much better. I simply like the jungle atmosphere with the rivers and everything. But of course, it would be nice to see a city on a Vietnam map. I just watched Full Metal Jacket on tv a couple of days ago. The final part where they are fighting in the city of Hue (?) got me thinking that a South Vietnamese city would be a great addition to a Vietnam map. Maybe a future map could have a bit more fields like Ia Trang's southern coast? Anyway, I'd go for Ia Trang all the way.

WOW Looks like it was made by Maac & Marfy Wonderful textures. Will it be out right away after you are able to solve the turret problem?

Very impressive screenshots - this pack is nicely going to compliment Sigma's tank packs Are you planning to do any fixed-wing aircraft? For example Su-7 Fitter would a be a good partner for the BIS-made frogfoot. More ground attack aircraft!

Nice, but I think you could have used the Red Star Studios update thread just below this

On the day when were going home, just before they were about to give us our military passports and move on to reserve, an empty table was brought in front of the whole company standing in three files. Then the officers told us that they would be spending five minutes on the other side of the garrison smoking cigarettes, and meanwhile everyone could bring anything they have stolen to the table, without no risk of being punished. They also told us that an inspection of everyone's bag would follow after the five minutes. Well, after the officers got away from everyone's sight, everyone started running for the table. I had wisely taken my "souvenirs" back home on earlier vacations. There was a nice pile of stuff on the table when the officers got back. Numerous live 7.62 rounds, several live NSV rounds, a huge pile of 7.62 blank rounds, military police sleeve badges, t-shirts, underwear (who wants those used by maaaany draftees before them? ), raincoats and trousers, a Lord of the Rings book stolen from the duty officer's desk earlier that morning ... that's all I remember, but there was a lot more It was fun to have some souvenirs, but I wouldn't go kicking a 40 mm round to get it

Interesting how CNN reported that the NK fighters "intercepted" the US aircraft. BBC reported that the NK planes just "approached" it. Intercepting sounds much more like shooting down a plane ... I admit that this is an interesting event, but I also think CNN has overreacted a bit.

Also worth noticing is the green beret of the FDF ground forces in the RK62 picture

I noticed that the Finnish word (Jääkäri) for ranger/jaeger/whatever is translated "jaeger" at the Finnish Defence Forces website. Well, it wouldn't be the first time they screw up, they have translated "kranaattikonekivääri" (automatic grenade launcher, AGS-17 Plamya) as "grenade assault rifle".

INCOMING VC!

They look pretty much the same to me. My neighbour tried to sell me Xbox for 200€, but I don't think this will be worth it. I'm happy with the PC edition

As far as I have understood from the news and other sources, the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan is pretty much out of control for the Pakistani government. If I don't remember wrong, it's called something like "tribal areas" often in the news. People even suspect that Osama is hiding there, so it could be possible that there are terrorist training camps or something.

The second option is somehow very familiar When I download a new addon, I test it for a few minutes and then forget it. The few exceptions so far have been Ivan's FDF soldiers and SEB Nam Pack 2 ... and I'm looking forward to make a little bit more with the new FDFMOD.

I think it would be wise to keep posting news and such also here, because I'm sure that a larger audience can be reached through these forums. Don't get me wrong - I would love to see more discussion at the FDFMOD website forums.

Very interesting and humiliating for the US, if the information is reliable. Isn't The Observer some kind of tabloid newspaper?

What's the correct designation for TRG-42 in FDF use anyway? I've heard some versions like KIV-2000, TAK 2000, etc. Does anybody know?

The website that hosts the FDFMOD website is currently under maintenance. It will return online on 28th day, at noon GMT +2. Also, other news are that Una has finished texturing the Finnish MT-LBV! Maybe this would inspire him to post some screenies

Could you tell us a little bit about the map you are creating? I hope you are not going to fill the map with houses, that might restrict the use only for computers with really good specs. Otherwise I think it's a great idea to have some "real life" maps in OFP.

I agree that A-50 Mainstay doesn't belong to this thread I think A-12 Cub would be a very good addon. Antonov is a bit too big for OFP in my opinion. It would be nice to have real Russian military cargo planes, I don't like the way Antonov has Aeroflot in written on its side Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a great addon!

Wow! I think those gray textures are very well done. Also, about those screenshots, people should be making more of these "poster" style images to present their addons, they are much more nicer to look at
