BD... I'm comeing to get you............ *Look at my signatur pic* Hey, can anyone notice the similarity between my avatar and the guy as the gunner in this humvee? Somebody should create the ultimate Hunter S. Thompson gonzo journalist addon - armed with a typewriter and firearms

Very beautiful. Can you tell us a little more, how does it work in OFP?

Damn, I've been waiting for these! Well, hopefully he didn't have a hd crash :P AKM's BTR/BMP 3 + RSS armor + FDF Russian Federation = *drool*

flags file? I just figured out that if you are able to see the Finnish flag in the animation when you start FDFMOD, you have to have the file I suggest you try out the command Norsu posted here. I'm 99% sure that it will solve your problems. Cheers --

Sounds like a mass desertion. I suggest you place a few MPs around them :P Dumb me. Inre: Ex-Ronin's post

Yes, that's what the Flanker is famous for

Lower the skill level of the AI. There's no other way to fix it.

Do you have the flags file?

I can confirm that a FDF bicycle is being planned, you will probably see it in version 1.1 ... The thing is, when does the version 1.1 come out? I'm sure everyone needs a break now after working so hard with the 1.0 release.

Great! These tanks will go very nicely along with the Russian Federation infantry that were included in FDFMOD. I really don't like the basic BIS tanks that much.

I decided to post a little review of the units here, because I realized that most of the non-Finnish people who have downloaded the mod might not have proper knowledge about the units and their roles. So, here we go, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Jaegers are assault infantry. They are generally better equipped than infantry, which are included in FDFMOD as reservists. Jaegers can be used for any role, whether it be attacking, defending or protecting an important facility. Jaeger units are also more mobile than normal infantry units, usually riding to battle with Sisu XA-185s, as opposed to reservist formations which might move with an Ural truck. Military police, hereafter referred to as MPs, protect important facilities and fight airborne troops. MP formations are also quite well equipped, with a platoon having 2 XA-185s and a truck. MPs also take care of enemy POWs. Mechanized infantry are basically the same as Jaegers, but they carry less equipment and are more heavily armed. They fight alongside their IFVs, and are mostly used for attacks. Special and paratroop recon jaegers are trained in Utti Jaeger Regiment. Special jaegers are trained to fight in urban enviroment, while paratroop recon jaegers specialize in operating deep behind enemy lines, performing reconnaissance and sabotage. Both troops receive paratrooper training. Sissi units perform similar duties as paratroop recon jaegers, with the exception that they don't receive paratrooper training. Whereas recon jaegers tend to remain hidden, Sissi units have a more hostile role. These units do not rely on motorized transport, and are constantly on the move in order to make it more difficult for the enemy to track them. Coastal jaegers play an important role because the shoreline of Finland is full of little islands, and the archipelago of Ahvenanmaa (demilitarized) is a very important due to its position between Finland and Sweden. Coastal jaegers undergo a very harsh training, performing the normal duties of Jaegers with the exception of being very capable of operating with boats. I guess that's pretty much it. Short and simple. If anyone has any questions, please post them here. Edit: Added a few more descriptions.

A few notes on your post, I don't remember if there is a Spetsnaz with a RPG-7 by default (I guess not because you mentioned it) :P, but Kegetys' RPG-7s are included in FDFMOD. I quickly checked the readme, FDF_rpg7vLauncher is the name of the launcher if you want to add it manually. Add 'Mag' for the magazine name About the mortars and machineguns - I'm not sure if the AI can carry them around by themselves. Probably not, but Kegetys could share some information on these matters. The mortar cannot be fired by AI - that's another OFP engine limitation And finally, about the armored helicopter gunships: FDF has none. There was some discussion in the media a while ago about the FDF looking into the option of getting some. New transport helicopters will be arriving shorty - I don't remember the schedule but FDF has ordered 20 NH-90s. That's one of the choppers that might be added to the future versions, if enough material becomes available.

Nope. AFAIK FAF Mi-8s don´t use doorguns either...besides, the Mi-17 is a non-demo BIS model, so I guess you can´t add new stuff to it... What does the Mi-17 have to do with this? If you actually had eyes you would notice that the Mi-8 is missing the rocket pods - how did we manage to get rid of those when the model is encrypted? :P We borrowed the Mi-8 model from a certain Norwegian mod, thanks Jahve!

Aye, July should be a very good month for flight simulation enthusiasts, with supposedly LO:MAC and FS 2004 coming out. Personally, I can't really decide which I'm waiting for more. Watching airliners landing and taking off everyday at my job at the airport, I feel the need to have FS 2004 as soon as possible I hope LO:MAC lives up to the expectations, I'm especially interested to see how deadly the Russian SAM systems are. As far as I remember, there were Strela & Igla, SA-13 Gopher, SA-12 Gladiator/Giant ... Unfortunately my personal favourite, SA-11 Gadfly is missing Well, I guess this doesn't ruin the whole gaming experience for me :P

Miles Teg, I see nobody answered your question about Finnish peacekeepers being in Kosovo, so I guess I'll have to help you out on this one. Yes, there are Finns in Kosovo. A Finnish battalion consisting of about 680 personnel is a part of the MNB (multinational brigade) Centre. Currently the Finnish battalion is responsible for coordinating the activities of the brigade, and it is also commanded by a Finnish brigadier-general. So, be sure to drop us a line once you get some peacekeeping missions ready Adding soldiers with the blue berets/helmets has been discussed in the FDFMOD forums, but unfortunately they weren't the top priority for this release. As a final piece of advice regarding the Finns in Kosovo, you might want to consider using Jaegers with RK 95s and Sisu XA-185 for transportation to achieve maximum realism. Have fun with the mod, cam0flage

There will be more mirrors, as far as I know. It's raining outside, so you might as well stay inside and play FDFMOD all night long instead of drowning with your zipper open

200 mb is a big download, but it's definitely worth it. Good job everyone, and have a nice midsummer's day ;)

!!! no more betas :P

For some vintage action I suggest you search archive.org for some old US propaganda films. They have some very good videos of nuclear detonations in Nevada etc.

Hahah. Somehow I figured out somebody would comment on this matter here

D'oh ... well, too bad it says translation in progress

Tomorrow might be a very special day for some people ;)

Are you making this for the Lego Wars mod? ;) Just kidding, but the textures could be better.

Great news about the MiG-15. If the alpha version looks like that, I can hardly wait for the final one ... I wish Jennik would translate his site into English :P

Ooh! It seems Jennik has skills also in making vehicle textures. I don't remember his website's adress but his ground textures were of very high quality. Could it be possible to add a MiG-15 for east as a bonus with the mod? Edit: Corrected a horrible grammatical error.
