*DAMN R6 Forum

Not trying to promote or anything but Ive always wanted a game that comes with weapons I like and with the detail we put into them. Check these SS out

http://www.vbsresources.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=184&sid=c0294693e05d9970ba9aa33dd91b9fc0

It does seem like an awesome game and everyone I know that has it says it's the best around. And the weapon models are so nice because they're made by Earl. He got hired by BIA last year and moved from Vancouver, BC to Australia to work for 'em.

However I sure as shit ain't paying hundreds of dollars for a game. I'd love to have it but it ain't worth the money for me.


If you want some personal opinions Mac there's a great thread on GR.net pertaining to the VBS1.

http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=18568

I know all about it and the fact Earl was involved. Ive ordered it, should be arriving next week.
I will not confirm or deny how I got or how much it costs me  ;D

Are those models compatible with OFP?

No, from what I understand. Im out of town Sunday through Saturday, so hopefully it should be in when I get back. Ill keep you guys posted.

This looks real sick. I never made it to the page with the prices though, started losing interest when I found out it cost money, lol. AA spoiled me. ;D

Yeah I hear ya. They put SP into AA and coop, its gonna be sweet and very hard to beat. I am dying for a new game.

I came within inches of buying the RVS gold pack, but didn't, lol. I will though. I can't have too many games at once or I get nothing done.

I already bought that  8)

VBS1 in the house, don't expect much in the way of playing time for about a week or so, after that Mac and I are going HUNTING ;D

They hold their rifles weirdly!

Screenies! I want to see the CH53s (and variants) and the Super Cobras! ;D

Looks dope as hell, but 50$ for an addon for a game that costs 15$? hell nah thats just rediculous!

That may not entirely be true, as there is a way to use OFP mods with VBS-1, not sure why it wouldn't work the other way. The only hitch being that VBS-1 shipped with a 128bit USB Key that must be plugged in at all times to play, and ad-ons for VBS-1 are digitaly encrypted with your own personal ID# so that content cannot be stolen. - This from Parabellum,

@Ogre_h talk to either Earl-Para or Gordo Viper about reverse compatibility with OFP an check the VBS-1 thread over at GR.net - some good screen shots ;D

Played online the other night. Really fun. Reminds me of GR with smooth char movement and badass models. It was by far the most fun Ive had with a online game to date, but bare in mind it was coop, and I love coop play.
I still stick to my statement that if AA incorporates single play and coop the correct way, it will be hard to beat.
For now this scratched my itch for a new game, with a new experience. Really fun and the most advanced AI on both sides Ive seen to date.
The net code seems very good too, ran really smooth and we were not running off a server but a buddies personal computer from Aussie land. Anyway, I may grab some SS and post some later.

I haven't posted here in a long time but continue to download the great mods here.  This VBS1 looks great but that $150 dollar price is steep.  Mmm...I'll have to talk to my training Lt. at work and see if I can convince him to buy it (for me of course) for our new CIRT training tool.    ;D  I doubt it though.

@Ogre_h

Here are your Cobra's, from an upcoming ad-on  ;D

OOOOhhh

Hey are those Hellfires on the wings?

Your guess...those are posted from an upcioming ad-on, not public, I stole it from the VBSresources forums.

I'll try to take pics of all the units available, my guess is there are over 100 to choose from, across all the various ad-ons out.

Gordo at gr.net has posted quite a few in the VBS1 screenies thread over there...some wicked cool stuf in this game. And you have to know if my sorry as can script a mission in less than 30 minutes, they are doing something right

Just saw this one
(http://www.vbsresources.com/forum/files/ranger06.jpg)

Yeah I cant fly the damn thing either. Viper took me for a ride the other day, I was the gunner and we had to attack a convoy. Fun stuff.

I finally killed my old Thrustmaster rig, so flying is real tough now.
I guess I'll have to shell out the big ones and grab their new HOTAS. (http://us.thrustmaster.com/images/hotas/hotas_logos.gif)
At least these stick lasts forever. If my F16FLCS was USB I'd still be using it. That and having enough room in the APT. :(

Ok...just sent the money via paypal....hope it does not take that long ;D

Cobra I'll send you a recap on Instilation, it can get a bit tricky, took me 2x to get it right....

In the meantime - where's Oger_h - do you fly in OFP with the stick? I'm having troubles with the keyboard, not as responsive as I'd like?

@ Whisper
When it first came out I did, but then I swithced PCs (no more gameport) and residences and couldn't fit the stuff anymore. Its been so long I don't remeber if it was a better control fit. When I get a bigger place, I'm definately getting a Thrustmaster. I miss flight sims, and hell there's nothing like doing the Mechwarrior torso twist with rudder pedals. I almost never touched the keyboard in that game.
I can't figure out what OFP uses as a rudder. The keyboard sucks for flying. I don't know how to side-slip or anything. I just wind up doing strafing with the choppers. I always wind up crashing the jets. The ironic thing was that OFP and IGI both were built on flight sim engines, that's how they were able to creat such huge maps.


Nice Super Cobra by the by.

In VBS1 flight controls by default as as listed here -

Q - Altitude Up
Z - Altitude Down
A - Rudder Left
C - Rudder Right
Left & Rigth Arrows are Roll
Up and Down are Forward - Reverse

As I understand it you need to gain forward momentum to build up speed, but I can say that the "Littlebird" doesn't more forward very fast at all, I can almost run faster on the ground, I guess this is due to it's "low" wieght, doesn't build up the inertia..whatever - I'm having fun with this game like I never have before - the AI is Wicked smart, and I haven't even started learning how to script AI behaviors, I'm merely placing them on the map and giving them a "Combat Aware" behavior setting...let's just say they are kicking my ass more oftenthan not. ::)

Thats not very difficult vbs1 boy. When are we going to play?  >:(

well, i just ordered my copy and i should have it next week. like i told whisper44, won't have much time with it :(, but duty calls. i'm only spending $250 on the sim and i really don't worry about it. some people say that it is not worth it, but the guys that have it, say it is pretty good. i say "to each their own", i just hope that we are allowed or helped to change the limitations within the engine. i will try and use some of the maps that i have with resistance and work with ways of creating real world missions.

Hey Cobra - did the mail come yet????

 ;D

surly he would have told us by now

He could be laying low, learning  :P

Have not got it yet....waiting (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/beer.gif)

Whisper and I couldnt connect as usual. Hope we can connect to you.

I agree - we need to get our connection issues resolved, we can't rely on the boys on the other side of the world to sustain our MP habit.

Nice

He's gonna feel that in the morning

This game really is something else,  I ordered my OFP:GOTY (OFP, Red Hammer, Resistance) from the UK on eBay last week,  less than $30 USD shipped.

I can get 95-98% the OFP:R add-ons to work with VBS1, not pratical for MP missions, but, it opens up some serious SP - Editor fun for me.

What maps are you using?

Other than the Core & Terrain 1 & 2 Maps, Afghanistan & Mau Samet, those are the only others that I have.

Where'd you get the Afghanistan island from Whisper?

We have it from a buddy of ours, Bugkill. Not sure where it is available to download. Its must have though. Look me up, Ill send it to you.

Yeah, I think I need that and two encrypted addons. Those being BAS Saboteur and Para's Rangers.

Games kinda runnin alittle slow FPS wise so far though, gotta find the sweet spot still in the settings.

whats are ur specs? Also obviously view distance, terrain detail, etc..will effect it. I have 9700 pro vid card and I run it on normal settings, about 2000 for view distance, frame rates set to about 17, and visual quality about the middle of slider. If you have your settings set too high, the game wont start, it will have a "out of memory" message.
Grab msn and I will walk you through some more tweaks. If you install the dxdll, go to the members discussion forum, page three adn look for thread Kegreyts DXDLL, on page two of that thread are ss of settings to get you different effects. Its well worth it, makes the game look totally different, without suffering performance loss.
I also have a user.INI file I can send you that tweaks settings and improves the graphics as well.

P4 1.9
1 gig PC2100 SDRAM
GeForce FX 5800

I just need to keep playin with the settings I guess. Prolly got something up too high. Currently view distance is only at around 1400. Model detail might be too high or somethin. Seems to stutter every ten steps or so, might be trying to load something. I'll keep playin around with it.

YOu should be fine, make sure you grabbed the core update.

Signed up for MSN now too. Hopefully this weekend I can join you gents for another round.

Ill be around

Cool, need your MSN, ehh, nick or email or whatever it's called. I think you have two different ones listed, here and at GR.net. Added Gordo already.

just enter my email addy, stephenmcadams@hotmail.com

ditto to mine SC... whisper_44@ thesamasmacs ;)

Got you both added gents. Thanks  ;)

When do you guys play?

I have been playin at night, EST, for the last couple days in a row. There's been a couple people on, including Mac, at that time. Get MSN.  ;)

Ok, I think I got Messenger working.
ul_hurley@fordham.edu
SC, what's your addy?

Should be suicide__commando@hotmail.com

Just got back from a game.   ;D

I want to setup a SQUAD.xml MP logo - any thoughts on what we should use as an image?  128x128 is the size limit, but I'm open for ideas? If you guys aren't interested, then I'll just do one up for me.

VME has released their PLA mod!
You have to convert it to VBS-1 yourself though.

Apparently VBS-1 is releasing a new module
USARMY1. I wonder when we'll be able to get it.

They've also released some vids of upcoming modules

Soon, its good stuff

Have to re-install VBS. SS's of the Army module look cool though.

Really happy to see Earl's AK's imported from OFP too.

I wish they'd tell us what vehicles are coming.

I'm sure there'll be a full list of the features when it's released...

Or maybe you could try asking on the forums in the mean time.

Well virtualbattlespace has some pics of cargo trucks and an AH-64D.
(http://www.virtualbattlespace.com/images/us_col.jpg)

There's a video on rbgames of the units in USArmy1, it's prolly on one of the official sites too though I haven't watched it yet.

They just released the 2.04 patch at the VBS resources site

There a teaser trailer for Flashpoint2 Armed Assault here http://www.flashpoint2.com/
You have to fool with the TV controls on the bottom to "change channels" to get it. Behind the center panel.

The 2.06 patch is now out.

They've released more movies on the resource site. Also the Artillery module is available.
The convoy module is looking really cool.
The enhanced armor video show how you can fight from the hatches of armored vehicles, like Lavs and M1s and the Cargo aircraft shows how you can now move around aircraft and load cars into cargo planes.  ::applause::

Very nice

Anyone have the Arty module? Just curious how it is, never did get a chance to really test it. The Convoy addon seems cool though, be so cool to actually shoot out of vehicles besides the turret or whatever.

Yeah its nice

Say the army module is out now. Anyone get it yet?
Also the 2.13 patch is out 2.14 for server.
Can someone PM who we're supposed to contact to buy the addons from? Thanks

Yeah Whisper and I tested it a while back. As far as purchase, contact Basil on the vbs forums, tell him I sent ya.

Thanks willdo
