John[VMA] a.k.a. Young Eagle from the New Zealand Defence Force Mod told us we could announce the beta release of the NZLAV in our news after it was spreaded without the teams knowledge on the BI forums.


Quote John[VMA] :
The first beta is ready!
At least I fixed the scope to match the ballistic.
In order to find correct range reading, when in gunner seat, press and hold "space" bar, place the range marker on targets, then refer to the number show on the scope, line the gun to targets. "MG" is for coaxial MG, "HE" is for HEI-T, "FS" is for APFSDS-T.

There're still some errors need to be fixe, such as animations on cmdr's hatch and speed indicators. Also the MG mounted on top of turret isn't operational yet etc.. I haven't finished the resolution LODs, so the vehicle will disappear in far distance.

The main purpose of this release is to see the performance impact on different systems, if there is huge performance drop, plz let me know that. Also I want to see if it works with multiplayer on servers.

Note:
This is early Alpha built, so some bugs are expected. As said, this release is mainly to test performance impact and multiplayer compability, if you experience huge FPS drop or game CTD, please let me know, report issues on BI forums NZDF MOD topic.
Please DO NOT alter the original content."






Additonally NZDF CRASH posted 2 new screenshots of the Hueys.

Quote NZDF CRASH :
Speaking of the Hueys we have done a new paint, added realistic sounds and added 2 gun versions, 1 with mag58s and the other one with the C9 Minimis.

By the way does anyone when looking from the external view know how to fix a problem where the guns appear to be flashing?
(I plan to get a video up soon of the hueys to demonstrate the new sounds lebrun and me have integrated into the uh1hs)
