Probably should update it again, as question #00 is already outdated. :P
What is camera's FOV? Will the mod support FOV customization?
Will this mod compatible with AtmosFear?
Add more snipers... like awp, trg 42, kvsk.. add some variety of more food, add few new shootguns like remington, add atmosfear 3 and improve npc's, like from mso. Good gameplay doesn't need just weapons.. you need to add bigger variety of stuff, everyday items.. and your mod will be the best ;) everything until now in your mod looks briliant, but it just a half of way I think. Add mutant looting, some similarities from misery : Gas mask huds, running breathing sounds, add some repair gear.. would be super.. i know that this is not easy but as a long stalker mods player i really can argue what good game needs ;) so thank you for your work and please think about what i said, and it will be phenomenal mod of stalker!
Why do you want them to add Atmosfear 3 ? You can do it by urself, and with Absolute N&S too.
Hi guys, are you going to add terrain mines with animation or somekind of traps?
DAMN NO CIGARETTES! XD. Would else be awesome!
Would also be cool to be able to opening doors, interacting with other objects and taking items! :D
quando isso irá sair ^^?
tem a beta de 15/01/2020
Will the mod improve graphic and add new weapons or just add new weapons ? Because not every person has a really good computer.
Megjelent már ez a mód?és ha igen akkor hol lehet letölteni?????????????????
This with Road to the north would be the absolute best.
Will all vanilla weapons (excluding special variants) be adapted?

English localisation, when?
I have some questions.
The game will have its own step sounds? because I will like to hear my own steps to make it more real.
How can I increase the volume of the exoskeleton steps? Since I can hear the steps of the exoskeleton but they are low and I want them as the video showing this feature.
The binoculars will have 3D scopes?
will there be a magazine system for the mod ?
When will the next update be? Are they going to put more weapons like the m4, the groza and the glock 17?
There is a 9x39 Groza currently, its grenade launcher is separate from the base weapon (an attachment) it doesn't conflict with the tactical grip upgrade (you can un-attach the GL and still have the grip on the base weapon), I think, been like a half year since trying myself) also, not sure when it was added though; might've been after you posted, or before.
Any plans for brass check and/or mag check animations?

I hope the gunslinger mod team will work with atmosfear3 implementation as well since I can see that absolute nature 4 is already built into the installer as of March 2022
