i3eefy 11 Posted February 8, 2011 Hey Guys and girls Now my problem is I want to change the controls on the M1 Abrams so that when I reverse its not logic to steer right the tank goes right. So you have to turn left to go right in reverse. Any ideas and help on this would be great. Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted February 8, 2011 The controls are perfectly logical. The more power you apply to one track the faster it moves. In reverse, when the left track is runnin faster than the right track then it turns to the right. I thought someone who has M1 tanks in his sig would have known that. Anyway, to answer your question: it's not possible to "reverse" the controls just for one direction (moving backwards). I'm sorry. And you can believe me, regardless of what i think is right or wrong, if there would be a solution i would have told you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
i3eefy 11 Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks Myke Ya the M1A1 has no logic when reversing. Its like when trying to reverse a trailer and to make the trailer go left you have to turn the car right. Its a bit shit if you ask me that the M1 does that. Anyways thanks for you answer. Cheers mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers mate It is logical if you think about it, it's just, people are not used to drive a tracked vehicle. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted February 9, 2011 Actually myke, it really depends on the vehicle. Some have their reversing controlls setup logically, some have them...well.. reversed. But as you say, theres no mechanism in ArmA2 to control it, so you're SOL either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScareCroweb 10 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) lol you guys never driven a tank while a commander shouts "reverse" "Right" and you pull the mouse left? whats the logic in that? :j: no its better left like it is and let things be logical and easy for the public. when the commander shouts right, I pull right Hoooaaah @I3eefy: its not a car :P Edited February 9, 2011 by ScareCroweb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
i3eefy 11 Posted February 9, 2011 @I3eefy: its not a car :P I realize its not a car mate. I was just trying to explain it better thats all. Anyways I thought I would ask the question as it would help me in training so that I would get used to it. Thanks to all for the replies anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
