That's okay, thank you

@ElPedroChicoRaulAlfonsoTejada I think I've attempted to rename those in the files (as ace3 team did) but the changes wouldn't apply for some reason. I'll see about trying it again next time.

Additionally, renaming the Scalpel missiles to Hellfire instead of Vikhr would be appreciated.

As the Scalpel model is based on the Hellfire missile

Jets DLC pylons don't have realistic names yet

For example BIM-9X should be AIM-9X Sidewinder
And AMRAAM should be AIM-120 AMRAAM

Small patch for additional mod compatibilities for Cytech, Drongos Spooks and Anomalies, and O&T Expansion Eden! Check update notes for full details. Merry Christmas!

Just released a new RF, WS CDLC & AEGIS real names update!
*Thanks to Axle for the initial work.

Happy holidays everyone.

Been a while. Expeditionary Forces CDLC Support has been added, all thanks to Axle for doing the renaming work!

wow one of the only arma 3 mods with reaction forces support huge

is there a way u can make this only for guns and their attachments am used to play with original names for the vehicles is really confusing to play like this

Hello ! thanks for your work ! the chopper in reaction force is a AS532/H215M Cougar, 225M is another helicopter, bigger with a different tech 5 blades main rotor

6/14/24
> Added Mod Compatibility for all AEGIS mods.
[Arma 3 Aegis, Aegis - Marines, Aegis - Police, Athena, Atlas, Atlas - Opposing Forces, Revolución] *Changed all their fictional 2035 naming for weapons, attachments, and vehicles to their real-life counterparts.
> Also added a compat patch for "Campaign Compatible ACE (works w Old Man too !)" since it still uses old ace realisticnames module. *Might be best to load this mod at the very bottom of the Arma 3 Launcher modlist so it doesn't get overwritten by anything.

Check the Github Repo for the full changelog and un-binarized files:
- https://github.com/Marc13Bautista/Arma3-RealisticNamesUpdated

This may also be the last update for a long time. Reaction Forces and Aegis might get updated when I get back from my hiatus.

Patch 6 (06/02/24) is out. Details in changelog. Might be the last update in a while. Also enjoy the new previews.
Edit: Patch 6 Hotfix 1 (06/03/24):
- Renamed to change the "SPMG .338" turret mount for RF Pickup to "LWMMG".
- Renamed "CZ 581" to "CZ/DT11 Drake". *This shotgun is a fusion that is modelled after the Beretta DT-11 but with elements from the CZ Drake.

Vehicles Rename Update is out now. Check the changelog for details on all the vehicle renames I did. Thanks to the help of Ace3 Baer for helping figuring out some vehicles' realistic counterparts. https://github.com/Marc13Bautista/Arma3-RealisticNamesUpdated/blob/main/06-01-24%20A3RealNamesChangeLog.txt

Patch 5/29/24 Patch 5 is out for the new Western Sahara CDLC v1.1.3 Update:
Renamed the following:
- "GM6 Lynx 12.7 mm (Snake)" -> "GM6 Lynx (Snake)"
- "SLR Para 7.62 mm" -> "FN FAL 50.00 Para"
- "SLR Para 7.62 mm (Snake)" -> "FN FAL 50.00 Para (Snake)"
- "RPG-42 (Sand)" -> RPG-32 (Sand)"
- "DMS (Snake)" -> "Burris XTR II (Snake)"
- "RDS (High, Black, Sand)" -> "Aimpoint Micro R-1 (High, Black, Sand)"

There's a bit more lol. I just did them for fun and previews look nicer with them.

I'm impressed that you went through every official screenshot and labeled them.

Ahh yeah

Update is out now.

Thank you for this. I'm looking forward to the Western Sahara and Reaction Forces update.

Realistic Name conversions for Western Sahara and Reaction Forces CDLC (vehicles, weapons, attachments) are currently being worked on. Thanks to Axle for the guidance. Might have them out by the end of the week.

Alright I'll just keep it MX. If people wanna change it then they can modify and replace everything labeled MX in the files.

it's a really nice mod!

I wanted to add to the discussion about the MX though; it was actually designed by CMMG for Arma 3. That's why there's a CMMG ballcap headgear option in game. I know someone linked the wiki page for the MX but I wanted to say that since it was designed by a real firearms company, it's distinct enough as its own weapon that you could get away with calling it the MX, especially because it fires caseless rounds compared to the XCR and ACR which do not.
https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Arma_3#.22MX.22

Funny looking into it more. The Offroad is the Isuzu D-Max and the successor listed for it closely matches the MOOSE pickup truck for Reaction Forces CDLC. The Colorado D-Max. Bohemia must really love these series of vehicles. Because the predecessor for Isuzu looks like an Arma 2 pickup as well (Isuzu Faster). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isuzu_D-Max

Ace3's module doesn't seem to have the Offroad listed in their files so I might have to try manually adding them. As for the MX series, I guess I could rename them to be "XCR (3GL/SW/M/C)" though I guess it was off-putting for ace3 team to use that because of how MX is labeled on the rifle itself.

That sounds great! While the ACE team is top notch, they are still only human so honest mistakes and omissions could've been made

There's quite a bit of stuff that ace3 team hasn't renamed other than the MX. Like the Offroad is an Isuzu "D-Max". Wonder if this mod overwrites the one in ace3 so that I could try out these changes.

Yeah I saw that video too, the rifle is amazing, just too expensive but very modular and up to date on all its features and capabilities. I will mod the MX to be renamed to XCR because it is too similar to that

Eh it is what it is for user preference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=L1zJHCErUD0 Looks cool though.

Well, if you look at the picture of the "XCR-L" it is 95% exactly like Arma 3's MX while the Remington "ACR" is quite different in my humble opinion

Nice.

Axle just released one for CSLA

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3249363936

I never thought the MX was the ACR. That was an actual gun before the MX.

"Inspired by two real-world rifles, most notably the Remington "ACR" and Robinson Armament's "XCR-L" assault rifles. Co-incidentally, both weapons were a part of failed tenders designed to be replacements for multiple service weapons in the U.S. military."

I'll just keep it MX since it's a mix of 2 weapons. Same reason ace3 keeps the name for the ASP-1 Kir since its a mix of the Russian "VKS" and "VSS Vintorez" sniper rifles.

This Fandom Page suggests that the MX is based on the XCR-L. Check the trivia section: https://armedassault.fandom.com/wiki/MX_series

@Valmont No clue. All I heard from it was that Bohemia Interactive got some gun company to make the MX series. I'll leave it as ace3 does lol.

Loving this mod! May I ask, isn't the MX series based on the XCR-M?

I'll look into it yeah when I get the time. Hope somebody on aceteam or Axle could give me some pointers to how they added previous DLC name changes in the first place.

I'm sure sharing on one of the Arma scripts or Arma Dev discords would get you a lot of help.

Blackfisch deserves the credit. I just added the small updates from recent aces and maintaining it for him now. Maybe I'll figure out how to change and add in WS and RF CDLC naming though.

Thank you for doing this great work, Marc.
