New vbs1 sshots

[quakergamer]

Hey all!
I guess ive found some new VBS1 sshots here:

http://www.virtualbattlefieldsystems.com/
http://www.virtualbattlefieldsystems.com/vbs02.html
http://www.virtualbattlefieldsystems.com/vbs02a.html

Look at those:
http://www.virtualbattlefieldsystems.com/vbs02a.html

They are really beautiful http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif!

[Tex [USMC]]

Look at that tall grass...
*wipes drool off chin*
sweeeeet.

[RalphWiggum]

i wonder if we can go into that tall grass

[RalphWiggum]

Picture at the bottom (http://www.virtualbattlefieldsystems.com/vbs02a.html) seems to display another windows cursor problem! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

sometimes when you play games, you have that windows cursor thing showing up. guess VBS is no exception.

[Maddock]

These updated pics also prove the link between the eDimensional 3D glasses ads on the BIS and opVietnam sites (see other threads recently).

The VBS main page has the same gfx and the tall grass shots that feature in the ad. The VBS1 site says:

VBS1 is designed for Military, ..... It is not intended for entertainment purposes.

Yea right, who are they kidding! ***http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Who wants to make a bet that in the not too distant future VBS1 (or a very close derivative) is what we'll come to know affectionately as OFP2? ***http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[SpaceAlex]

this is too good to be true. I'm gonna join the army. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

[DnA]

[Supah]

Guess the army is gonna have to upgrade then http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif wish i had their hardware budget http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[DodgeME]

See recommended as the minimum u need to run this game smoothly. A GF4 Ti???
Oh my god&#33;

[quakergamer]

BTW there is 2 VBS websites:

http://www.virtualbattlefieldsystem.com
http://www.virtualbattlefieldsystems.com

(it have an S at the end.)

And I would pay 300&#036; to get VBS1. Those sshots are awesome http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[quakergamer]

Look at this:

PC-, network-, and/or Internet-based with almost unlimited participants

unlimited participants ....


And DnA it hasnt been updated (checked OFPN), its a new website

official VBS site is virtualbattlefieldsystem.com (w/o the s)

[Antichrist]

This gotta be a joke&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

This gotta be a joke.....
Although my Radeon 8500 will run it smooth as http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[wamingo]

that tall grass looks extremely sweet&#33;&#33; the geforce4 requirement does not http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif (I can JUST make the cpu requirement I think - 1500MHz amd)
but it&#39;ll only be a question of time before we&#39;ll see grass like that etc, however the things that the vbs has which we won&#39;t see are military *secrets* or whatever - I&#39;ve never been in the army - thank heavens - as you can probably see.
the graphics will "eventually" arrive, not even the military can stop that.

Thanks&#33; I&#39;ve altered the newspage with the correct information http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Darkhawk]

Why cant we get those good graphics&#33;
Will Resistance look like that?

Got a plan&#33;

we just have to find someone in the army that we can payoff with (7-8% canadain) beer, russian vodka ***or cuban Cigars to give us a Disc or let us buy a disc off them ***http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

J/K

Canadian Humour

Dose BSI have any plans of selling it in the future?

Is it really that much better graphics in VBS1 compared to the graphic in OFP??…all I see is new models and yes they look good but so does most of the ones we have in OFP too.
That grass everyone is talking about can easily be done with just some polygons and some high res textures…you cant really say if it looks good before you see it in 3D… I think we will have a equally good looking game when we get Resistance with support for high res textures.
I don’t think the system requirements of VSB1 is so high only because they updated the graphic engine but more because they have more advance AI or something.

[MarcusJClifford]

Wow - check out how realistic the people look in this screenshot.

[Satchel]

It sure does look good....but nothing that couldn´t also be achived by the modding community, especially after Resistance has been released (high Texturing possible).
For the Hardwarespecs...i assume that they are set this high to ensure fluid operation under all circumsstances, a mil. Sim that is lagging (low FPS) is unsuitable for training purposes.
Imagine an Debrief of a F-16 Simlator session,
- "Lt. xyz, why did you loose control of the aircraft?"
- "Sir, lag got me killed"

[Tex [USMC]]

I can just see this rolling across the screen:
2nd Lieutenant- llllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggg
Lt Colonel- ? ? ?
2nd Lt- this server is suxor

[ale2999]

Right now I am in my computer room crying like a baby.
I WANT THAT&#33;
I wish I was the son of Bill Gates so I would ask my dad to either pay em alot or steal VBS for me. WhY DO THEY POST THAT ON THE INTERNET? To m ake me feel bad I guess. I wamt to join the US ARMY but I cant cuz I am not a US citizen. This suks. Please I know there is some US military ppl that frequent this forum, steal a copy, I&#39;d pay u uo to &#036;1,000
for it http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif.
MUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Maybe u Avon could do sometin about that. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Is this US Dollars or some funky Euro http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[RalphWiggum]

AFAIK, VBS is classfied, so no public ppl can have it. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[Rendar]

You don&#39;t need a security clearance to use it though.

[quakergamer]

What I would like to see its a video from VBS. It would be awesome to see this game in action http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Antichrist]

Well if you look at the grass you will see that its not much better than bushes in OFP
Just got better textures http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[Tex [USMC]]

Oh well. Bring on the Hi-Res textures&#33; Bring em ALL on

[DV Chris Death]

VBS1 has grass, and here is, what Operation Flashpoint
has to say:

http://ofp.gamezone.cz/screenshots/grasOFP.jpg

http://ofp.gamezone.cz/screenshots/grasOFP2.JPG

note: screenshots are from www.operationflashpoint.cz
taken from the planet of war mod

Edit: btw - they are available to download there too

[RomanB]

DV Chris Death,

If you see closely to this "TCgras.pbo" addon (from mod "Planet of War", good work), you will find that it is simple standard models of "bush" from OFP:

- "data3d&#92;ker rakosi.p3d"
...

Just put it repeatedly many times on the map.

I think it is better to create grass model like forest model (big right-angled triangle) and inherits this class from "bush" class.

[Satchel]

Some corn fields would be nice, or other high vegetation that conseals the player and his squad...or the enemy.

or feed them&#33;

[Wobble]

I tried to make some grassy field with the addons.. It looked EXACTLY like the VBS screens (more or less).. the only problem was that it dragged me down to about 15 FPS (GF2Ti 1200mhz AMD, 144mhz ram).. but it did look impressive..

oh BTW mission load time :45 seconds.

[DarkJedi]

Bah BIS pulled the site offline http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
Could someone post the pics here?

[theavonlady]

Search The FAQ (http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/) for "vbs". The new pictures are at the bottom of the first matching item.

[RalphWiggum]

why is it that BIS closes website down as soon as the forum members start having orgasms? i mean excitement... http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Tex [USMC]]

Dirty, dirty.

Try turning shadows off when using the grass mod. I noticed the shadows on the ground, must be a really heavy performance hit (have downloaded but not installed yet).

Why is it that none of the VBS pictures are available when I GOT THERE to see them?&#33; http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif All this "it looks wonderful" talk, then when I click the links they are all broken and the site under construction or maintenance. How unfair&#33;

[RalphWiggum]

goto Avon&#39;s website. I think she has some pictures

[quakergamer]

Here&#39;s the link if you don&#39;t wanna search.
http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/general/ofpengine.htm

You can find all the pictures from VBS1 there http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif&#33;

NICE&#33;&#33; http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Thanks a lot, really appreciate it&#33; I am tired of searching the net for every little thing, probably do it 20-30 times a day (at least).
