2 New Pics.
Looks like a shotgun. Cool. And theres obviously alot of detail going into the buildings and terrain objects. Check the water tower out http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

It aint much, but its something.

[VXR]

yeah it looks good

with some very sharp photos and a good model plus the right file format for skinning you also can get the same effect.

[NZXSHADOWS]

Yeah I think VBS has lost its sex apeal.

[Aculaud]

Pheh! I'll take a copy any god damn day of the week!

[Jester983]

I would too but the question is do you have the right PC for it? I mean VBS wants one hell of a good comp.

[Aculaud]

about 40 more dollars and i will http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Actually, this isn&#39;t all that true. A 2ghz comp will run VBS just fine in its current state. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[ALDEGA]

As if you are betatesting it... http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[NZXSHADOWS]

Like ive stated before.They say VBS can run on a laptop.So im pretty sure it can run one current PC&#39;s.

[InqWiper]

Look at resistance, with high terrain detail no one can have visuability over 3000 though it goes to 5000.
You can just turn the graphics down a bit and you can run it on a 400Mhz with geforce 2 MX 200...
I bet the same goes for VBS.
Isnt VBS used for by the US marines to have something to do while they´re on a boat? If VBS would require a mega computer the marines would probably not be able to play it, I doubt that they get the newest most powerful computer every time a better one is available.

[bn880]

No they don&#39;t, but when they upgrade they upgrade to much higher than what&#39;s possible with a single processor at the time... so they are set for a long time.

And actually VBS MIGHT be configured in such a way that client machines only do graphics, sound, and input processing and the server does all the simulation calculations. This is a standard for real military simulator software, it&#39;s server based. This can only be done with very fast networks... so it would be pretty bad if you were online and saw the chopper move every 0.3 - 2 seconds.

You really need a LAN for that.

[Denwad]

Well, at my old base they only dumped their 286&#39;s in 1998 when they upgraded to 266mhz. Kinda wierd how slow they were.

Want to hear a sad fact? RUSSIAN Tank simulators have BETTER Graphics than U.S. Simulators.

yeah but the gameplay sucks and the single player story feels contrived http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Miles]

There was a russian flight simulator in thier stall at the farnborough airshow but it kept freezing-poor guys

[Lt_Damage]

It worked fine in Russia because it&#39;s so damn cold they don&#39;t use CPU cooling technology over there.

Will VBS1 be available to the general public, or will a special version be released or what?

Thanks...

Noone knows, atm. Most likely, VBS will not be released to the public. However, there has been speculation that the upcoming Independence Lost is sort of a VBS lite made for the public

[RalphWiggum]

we got some of VBS stuffs in OFP and OFPR. i think laser designator was part of VBS.

some time ago, there was some pics of marines peeking through a broken part of wall section. now we have that in OFPR(ex. walls west of Velka Ves)

And in Lipany, and maybe a few other places. I also think the castle ruins kick ass.

Maybe we dont need VBS in its entirety, but BIS should at least release more of the cool features of it for OFP. The AW50, aircraft carriers, some of the infantry models, the LAV, etc. We need more of that.

I am afraid this topic will be moved to offtopic soon - unless it will behave.

[camper]

Suma, could you say if VBS has any engine improvement?

[jason211]

Hi

There are lots of things I&#39;d want to see in future versions or upgrades of OFP, mostly the inclusion of new scripts to do stuff to make the game more flexible. Like:

- being able to order a subordinate to drop or give you whatever he or she is carrying

- being able to drop or give away whatever you are carrying.

- being able to swim, (if you drop enough stuff)

- being able to land on helipads destoyers and frigates

- making the warrant, radio, the gps, watch and other map items droppable too. And the map.

- making radios in jeeps, field radios etc. function when you are at them.

Ok, they&#39;re just a few of my wishes/ desires for OFP. There are loads more, but that I&#39;ll do for now.

medvidek,

It is not a question of if WE need or want. It is a question of how badly do YOU need or want us to spend OUR money on YOUR next game&#33; http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

gren

P.S. give me a way to spot and and send artillery such as in BF1942 or some such and I&#39;d pre-order today. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[WhoCares]

Maybe you should browse a little at the Coalescent website (http://www.ctcorp.com/index.html). Look out for VBS1 (what a surprise), &#39;USMC Infantry Tool Kit&#39; and &#39;USMC Distributed Virtual Training Environment&#39;. You might find some interresting things, eg. non-lethal weapons and training for forward observers: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">ITK-FO incorporates target and observation post location, the Call For Fire (CFF), adjustment of fires (initially field artillery, but later followed by the incorporation of mortars, Naval Surface Fire Support, close air support), and damage assessment.[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'> http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

....... So this guy messages me on MSN, says he likes my skills and wants to know if I want to join his new elite clan. Says I can help with addons, mission making, wrpedit, webpage stuff, recruiting you name it. He says if I join now he&#39;ll even bump me up a couple of ranks. I say I&#39;m not sure, never really been into the whole "clan" thing so he says to me, "Tell ya what, we are having a get together for new members in Oct. out in Cali. If you want I&#39;ll take care of the plane tickets, meals, lodging, the works, cause I think you&#39;ll make a great clan member, hell I&#39;ll even have somebody meet you at the airport........"

Light Green - "What you making a list there of CPL?"

Dark Green - "Oh, this? Some of the fellas and I have come up with about 150 things so far we want to see those Czech boys include in VBS2....."

[RalphWiggum]

let me add my wisdom.( http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif )

VBS, as you know, is used by USMC. what does that mean? it means it&#39;s handled by DoD or corresponding bureacratic agency that is related to USMC. what does that mean? well, for anyone interested, AFAIK, any contractors of DoD has to have some sort of security clearance and that means back ground check and etc. on top of that, any talk about it in public places are restricted.

my math TA once talked to guys from Raytheon, and first thing that recruiter asked was, &#39;Do you have clearance?&#39; http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

since VBS is contracted to USMC, DoD would have imposed some limit on BIS, so they cannot comment much on it. but taking a look at how stuffs from VBS came to OFPR, I say we need to wait and let BIS not get in trouble with DoD.

and we got O2 now, so we can make all sorts of stuffs. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

http://www.ctcorp.com/graphics/vbs1_08.jpg

"Okay Blackburn, you obviously have no idea how to load up for a VBS mission. For example- why the hell are you taking yer NVGs? We&#39;ll be back in 2 hours bro."

"What do you mean?"

"LAWs dude, take LAWs. And be sure to grab a Skorpion off a dead commie. Oh yeah, and you might want to put some super glue on yer fast rope gloves-"

"Huh?"

"Trust me."

[Antichrist]

Why doesn&#39;t USMC use America&#39;s Army game for their training and leave VBS1 for us? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

@ Camper

BIS cant give info about VBS1 there are all sorts of secret things in it like the AAAV etc

My dearest topic, I warned you to behave. You did not listen .... and here is your reward.
