Project True Viking 2.0
You might be wondering why we have released this as a separate workshop product and why everything looks so different. The short answer is: I was never really happy with the old PTV. It just never felt like the PTV I envisioned. So after nearly a year of intense planning, PTV and its lore was redone entirely from the ground up and what is being released is more accurate to that vision as best as we can.
Required Mods:
CBA
• Growing list of various land and air-based vehicles textured to fit within the PTV lore to get around the battlefield
• Fully working Picture-in-Picture versions of many optics. Offering both 2D and 3D PiP versions. [Special thanks to Reyhard for providing and giving us permission to integrate his 3D PiP framework!]
• New high-quality uniform placeholder provided by Krogar and the AMF mod team in various configurations using the new lore-based official camo patterns of Askeland–"Ormr (Serpent)" and "Trollskinn". Also includes a few mixed variants (more added later) and bonus wip AFG (Askelandic Forest Green) version for Askeland’s Police Tier 1 SF.
• Several facial accessory offerings in numerous variations and configurations
• Several new lore-based weapons added—including the introduction of Askeland’s newly adopted rifle, the M/23, which is based upon the Rheinmetal/Steyr-joint RS556 rifle!
• New optic offerings added
• A few new NFM Thor configurations added which feature new contributed pouches and accessories. (more planned for the future!)
We have much more planned, including getting more vehicle retextures done (logistics, artillery, etc) as well as will be planning on adding representation of ASKSOF, eventual additon of a new high-quality Patria AMV model, and much more planned!
We also have a PTV Ops-Core expansion of Exer’s Foxtrot Paramilitary Gear Pack which will be released separately as an optional download. I have also started PTV texture support for Firewill’s F-16’s that will also be a separate offering for those who want to stay within lore. And we also have plans on offering a separate retexture pack for the BWMod as a lot of their vehicles are also apart of Askeland’s lore.
We wish to thank the following people who have both supported and contibuted towards the development of PTV 2.0 in various ways. I can’t thank you all enough for contributing help to keep my passion project alive and going!
Akinaro, Jota (3DMA), Hussky9, VityaB, Luchadordev, Nadiia-3d, Mr-macbeth, Parallax Game Studios, Dennis Kahl, Krogar & the AMF Mod team, Jamie, Avery, Caselius & Brave Sir Charge (Northern Fronts – Scandinavia), HorribleGoat, Issah (Norwegian translator), WR5, Kiory, RedRogueXIII, Hell, Crash, Tenoyl, MikePhoeniX, Christian Øelund, Stefan Engdahl, Iansky, Kouoaeha, Troska, Toadie, SPS Team, da12thMonkey, Tom3dJay, Syn, Tigg, Thanez, ArtemSh, warden_1, Ca Chua, hatchet, Zeealex, Reyhard, Darkstorn, Sylon, MediumSolid, and Drahkken (for allowing us to use the tweaks from his awesome Improved Grenades Mod to help make our boom-boom’s more lethal!)
Siege-A & Dirks – Honestly, if it wasn’t for them, 2.0 never would have happened. When PTV was killed off and I lost all hope in my passion project, they came out of nowhere, throwing their full support and help all through 2.0’s development. They helped reignite a spark I had lost for a long time.
Wessex – A good friend and PTV Lore genious whose continual support and help through 2.0’s creation I will always be thankful of. PTV 2.0 is just as much his baby as it is mine. A year of constant brain storming, endless research, etc poured into every aspect of lore development, man. We finally made it!
Robert Hammer – Long time friend and fellow PTV developer sticking by my side through all the up’s and down’s with PTV development even when we lost most of our team. And also somehow managing to deal with all of my nonsesense and not hunting me down to strangle me to death because of it (lol).
Folkward – My bearded, German "brother from another mother" for also somehow managing to deal with me and my craziness throughout the development of 2.0 when I constantly stressed out, complained, wanted to rage quit my own project, etc.
Dan – Another long-time friend and supporter of my passion project as well as my go-to space pilot and fellow Klescher Rehabilitation Facility roommate (lol).
We would also like to dedicate the release of PTV 2.0 to fellow contributor and support, JC980, who was taken way too early before his time. Thank you for all your support and willingness to offer your help in our time of need and contribute towards 2.0’s development.
