We would like to apologize for the long absence, we moved our homepage and forums to the Black Sand Studios server as we were unable to publish a new update on our old hoster.
(note to all webmasters and communites: our domain changed to http://idf.blacksandstudio.com - please update your links!)
Anyway, we are still working on our mod - with a very small team, but we are are working. And to everybody who always asked when there will be a version to download: There will be one as soon as we got maps and code, at least we dont have an mapping-artist neither an coder! So here is the call for all modders out there who are interested in helping, please contact us!

And for everybody who just waits for the screens, today we have some first person shots of our handweapons.

Thats it for today, hope you enjoyed this update.
And dont forget to visit our new forums at BSS!
Greetings from,
the IDF: FFI Team.

The F-5A/B Freedom Fighter and F-5E/F Tiger II are part of a family of widely used light supersonic fighter aircraft, designed and built by Northrop in the United States, beginning in 1960s. Hundreds remain in service in air forces around the world in the early 21st Century, and the type has also been the basis for a number of other aircraft.

In October 1965 the USAF began a five-month combat evaluation of the F-5A titled Skoshi Tiger. Twelve aircraft were delivered for trials to the 4503rd Tactical Fighter Wing and redesignated as the F-5C. They performed combat duty in Vietnam, flying more than 3,500 sorties from the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing at Bien Hoa in South Vietnam.

In June 1967 the 10th FCS’s surviving aircraft were turned over to the air force of South Vietnam, which previously had only A-37 Dragonfly and A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft. This new VNAF squadron was titled the 522nd. The president of Vietnam had originally asked for F-4 Phantoms used by the Americans, but the VNAF flew primarily ground support as the communist forces employed no opposing aircraft over South Vietnam, MiG or otherwise. Ironically, when Bien Hoa was later overrun by Communist forces, several of the aircraft were captured and used operationally by the NVAF, in particular against Khmer Rouge.

In view of the performance, agility and size of the F-5, it might have appeared to be a good match against the similar MiG-21 in air combat; however, US doctrine was to use heavy, faster, and longer-range aircraft like the F-105 Thunderchief and F-4 Phantom II over North Vietnam. Several of the F-5s left over from the Vietnam war were sent to Poland and Russia, for advanced study of US aviation technology, while others were decommissioned and put on display at museums in Vietnam. This brings this news post to a conclusion. Look for future reports of other aircraft flown within Vietnam to come soon!

Special thanks goes to the guys over at the AiX mod www.aixtended.com for permission and use of the F5 Tiger II within the EoD Mod. Without thier support, we would be unable to bring this fine machine into the Vietnam theater of operations. My personal gratitude goes to Clivewel for his time and effort in reworking this model just for the EoD Mod. Thank you Clive and AiX!

Retrospect:
Some of you were asking us, what the idea behind the public betatest was. We have tested some settings to improve the gameplay, to create a real “OPK-gameplay”. After some weeks without any news about progresses, we show you something new today. Sadly we have to announce, that we can´t finish this beauty for the release of 0.25.

In case some other serveradmins want the new settings too they are invited to announce this in ou

SirCommandant will support our mappers. His first project is to overwork the 16 player maps to make nice 4on4 and 8on8 figths possible.

Because of the fact that the 0.25 toy still have some bugs we will take a look into the future.

Cou can fine more fennek pictures on www.opkmod.com

The Fennek is a brilliant example for mod crossing work on content. Ivan has build him originally for the “GAMEOVER”- Mod for Crysis, but he will be made fit into OPK. We still don’t have a Skin for the vehicle, but this one will be finished pretty soon. Trahnlee from EOD is working hard to get the thing going. But it is is still much work to do…For all Crysis-Fans a look over to the guys from the GAMEOVER-Mod will probably be profitable. Who knows what we have hidden there or what they have hidden here?

www.gameover-mod.de But for all BF2-Fans out there we want to announce that we won’t switch to Crysis. What doesn’t mean that some Modders will support some teams there.

With those pictures we leave you for now until the next update.

Your OPK Team

After a lot of test, we announce here the first FREE ranking system for your BF2-Modserver.

Maingoal of this project is to create one ranking for many mods. Later we will try to create seperate rankings for every mod and monthly stats. We hope that many BF2-Modserver will join GMR.
