Compatibility with the Arrowhead terrains

[.kju 3245]

The Community Preview is only designed for compatibility with the Arrowhead terrains (I did try Chernarus, but to no avail). Frames weren't too bad, actually. Above 10.

This is great news. :bounce3:

I wonder what the difference is between the two terrains. I had simply assumed that both maps would be same in all but layout & content.

How does this relate to this topic DMarkwick - sorry I am unable to follow you :(

[bobocz 10]

I think that DMarkwick mean, that Chernarus should work in beta, he doesn't see reason why not. Perhaps beta is compiled only for Arrowhead, that's my hope, I like Chernarus :).

The requirement of the beta is ownership of OA, so perhaps they share the same files for the terrain?

I thing it has something to do with objects per map . Takistan has less then Chernarus , thus more FPS for Takistan .

I literally just flew over Chernarus in the Community Preview due tomorrow, so it should work for you as well :)

Perhaps it was beause it was CDF controlled airspace? :p

They didn't take any shots at you did they DnA?

Time to blow the dust off my old Thrustmaster Cougar and get it set up then :)

Looking forward to it. I mean, really really looking forward to it :)

Yet half an hour on work, after that heading home quickly and get the preview...can´t wait for it. :yay::D

already made it crash, I feel dirty and proud at the same time :D

Flying has never been so hard in ArmA! xD

I like the flight dynamics. I would like to see it in A3! :D

Adds more challenge and a learning curve to flight :)

Still gotta learn how to fly without crashing xD

BTW, this is a good gift to all of your fans who support you! I will be getting ToH after seeing this :3

It's actually not that hard once you figure it out. Handles a bit differently, but all in all it's like going from ArmA1 to ArmA2 flying.

Edit: Though yeah the throttle could use some adjusting.

any user made maps work with TKOH preview? I have tried a few (isla du ala, capria, nicosia) but they wont load.

It is all about the load order. ;)

The only two I have had problems with so far are Fallujah and Sahrani, which I think is one of the CAA1 scripts causing a conflict.

Capraia looks fricken amazing BTW, gives you a good idea of how A3 will look.

interesting - though i was only trying to load one map at a time. no need to be enigmatic. share the secret of the mystic load order please. would dig to try a few other maps.

Okay, put the maps before the Take On mod in the shortcut so that Take On loads last. ;)

Like I mentioned, the only maps I have had problems with so far are Fallujah and Sahrani. Fallujah just won't load at all in the editor and Sahrani or any of the CAA1 maps will run for a few seconds before freezing, when a script or something similar kicks in that must conflict with Take On.

thanks for sharing, liquidpinky. I intend on seeing for myself what some of the islands look like with the new viewdistance enabled.

your Kung-Fu is strong!

I am running still at around 5k view distance, but the extra distance on objects make the fogging look more authentic as they fade into the fog now also.

I have ran all the maps with everything maxxed out but I got tired of the slideshow. Plus I don't really like how the fog appears with larger draw distances on island maps.

[CarlGustaffa 4]

Try the new fog'ish commands, or maybe it's haze. I.e. in a trigger, one of:

0 setFog 0.5; setHazeDistCoef .5; setHazeFogCoef .5;

0 setFog 0.5; setHazeDistCoef -1; setHazeFogCoef -1

The -1 gives the old curves if I read the description correctly. Values above 1 tend to give unexpected results.

Bushlurkers microterrains are some interesting new environments to explore ;)
