FFUR - Huge Release !!

Black Hawk Down....
mmmm......that was the first mission i played....
I liked most Operation Irene

[Journeyman]

So the aimpoint as I understand it is designed to be used with both eyes open, hence both eyes see the target but only one eye sees the point. No pun intended! ***

In that case the Black Hawk Down implementation of this type of scope as shown in your picture is the correct one.

Now there's something for TB to think about! ***

hey everyone...

about the aimpoints and scopes ... everyone who has tested or played with the Swedish Forces Pack 4 may have realized it ... they have introduced an effect for their aimpoints that uses a TRANSPARENT GRADIENT to make one side of the scope transparent ... there are several problems with it and that is why it looks so "STRANGE". first thing is ... as far as I know it is only possible to use one Gradient for the alpha channel ... so only one gradient for the whole texture ... second problem is ... it looks good in photoshop ... but when you convert the pic into a .PAA you will have the following effect:
(this is not from the SFP 4)


it is a very nice effect but it looks strange ... I tried something like that before without using the gradient tool ... but it needs time and doesn't look that good.

maybe I find a way better way ...

Arent there Aimpoints with magnifition. Think its possible to choose with 2x magnification.

Thunderbird,if i were you i wouldn't concern myself to much with the last few post's,ie size of iron sights ect. I've played the game for the last 4 years and i have had no problems or thought's about it! I think(and this is only my opinion coz England is a free country) that if you try to do any major changes in this department you will only start to introduce more problems and bugs ect. As the saying goes if it ain't broke don't try and fix it EDIT= in a nutshell concentrate on more important things

Yes, but the US Millitary dont use them.

I agree with Action Man, maybe the current ironsights aren't 100% realistic, but what is? I think they're grand the way they are.

ineed leave them as they are there great no need to make them better

Regarding the aimpoint's Benus, I think you'r close to cracking it with that photo. Just one question though: On which weapons are these scopes gonna be mounted?

I don't remember using any up 'till now in OFP. So pressumably it's for the 2005 pack only? ***

IIRC its shall be for the M4 which is replacing the M16 since the M4A1 is more comonly used in the modern day army

Heres a thought how about officers have the M16 since it would make sense that the higher the rank the more likely there going to use an M16 but im not sure how often the M16 is used anyway

[Thunderbird]

Hi mates,

Quote[/b] ]TB, now that Berghoff has fixed his trees in his great looking new nature pack, will U be using them in a new version of your fabulous high res islands?

Will try to deal with'em in order to implement'em.
will keep you informed.

Actually the M16A2 is still the most common used weapon in the US army. But we've replaced it by the M16A4 in order to enjoy people who requested it even it's mainly used by the US Marines.
and because it gives a nice touch to the modern pack as well.
Btw, it seems that there's a big part of the US army officers posted in IraQ who carry the M4 (and variants) as main firearm.
so we've done the same for FFUR Modern Pack officers.

US Officers -> M4 Reflex
US Army privates -> M16A4
US grenadiers -> M16A4/M203
US Marksman -> M4A1 with scope & Bipod.
US SpecOps ->M4SD Acog

Indeed, the shot showed by Jotte seems very interesting but I'm sure a lot of people who're accustomed to play with 'OFP's classical ironsights' might find it weird...
