Missing FX when (most) tanks fire.

[Flanker15 0]

After watching a video of Arma 2 being played I relised that most of my tanks aren't displaying a effect when firing their main gun and the muzzel flash is in the wrong place to boot!

The effect is the dust plume that expands out from the tank in all directions when it fires and the tank rocking back on its suspension, the muzzel blast which is displaying seems to be emitting from half way up the barrel instead of the end.

Interestingly the T-55 and BMP-3 work fine though.

I run ARMA:CO from steam but it still happened when I ran vanilla ARMA2, changing the settings and verifying the files didn't fix it.

Is this something that other people have now caused by a patch or somthing or is something wrong with my files?

thanks.

In ArmA2 standalone it's an effect lost vith 1.07 patch. It's the reason why I stand with 1.05.

I think that CO have this change inside too.

For some reason I can't figure out, I had no response in several posts about the future fix or the intention to fix it.

I didn't notice the muzzle flash problem in my short experience with 1.07.

A reason more to wait and resist.

I got to thinking on this one and I'm like heeyyy!? your right, I def dont see that,

but i do believe the tanks rocks back when you shoot, it does have a dust cloud,

I dont recall a fireball, like flash though, maybe I havent been playing hard enough lately.

This is stupid but, when i read your post it reminded me of how you see commercials for mcdonalds,

and their perfect hamburgers, and then go to a mcdonalds, and buy one and the stupid thing is crushed and torn,

like half the size of what it looks like.:D

Definatley off topic on that one,

sorry I think I jacked your thread:threadjacked:

Also a lot people probably use mods that modify the FX (WarFX, ACE, etc.) so they may not notice it.

Suspected it was something that everyone had since newer videos look like mine.

Maybe it'll be fixed next patch unless it's intentional or unavoidable.

Thanks.
