OMAC 254 Posted December 9, 2011 Never played OpF, but sounds cool. Navigating by pole star is a GREAT idea for missions, especially if you would have to find Polaris without hints or cheats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metalcraze 290 Posted December 9, 2011 There's more - Takistan and Chernarus offer different night skies due to them being in different parts of the planet. And as the planet rotates - the stars move across the sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vipera 10 Posted December 9, 2011 Why do I see stars if I have ViewDistance 4000m? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted December 9, 2011 Why do I see stars if I have ViewDistance 4000m? The sky (stars) is not affected by view distance. However objects like planes/helis are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted December 9, 2011 Because the sky is not part of the ViewDistance, and not volumetric either (before TKOH/A3). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted December 9, 2011 Machinegunners (AI) sitting/standing in 1.60 and latest patch seem unable to keep the weapon steady while shooting. First shot goes straight and then the weapon is increasingly going upwards resulting in "star-shooting". :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

munger 25 Posted December 9, 2011 Why do I see stars if I have ViewDistance 4000m? LOL - viewdistance would have to be just a tad greater than 4000m if it affected visibility of the stars. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HyperU2 11 Posted December 9, 2011 Seeing Takistanis and Insurgents firing wildly in offhand seems quite appropriate. Instead of changing that MG'ers should just be more apt to go prone. More prevalent for Bluefor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as the planet rotates - the stars move across the sky. Wow. A part of A2 I've missed completely. Very cool. Are there a lot of nighttime user missions which use stars for navigation? ---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ---------- It's been like that since 1.54BIS added new recoil, but forgot to balance AI for it. There have been several tickets for this already... Here's one: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/22701 24 votes isn't too shabby. That looks pretty important. If AI go prone, no problem, but if they don't and can't hit anything? Not good. That ticket looks like the issue was introduced in 1.60 betas. Is that true? If so, kju hasn't been putting much emphasis on it in the 1.60 beta problem thread, unless I missed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kremator 1065 Posted December 9, 2011 It's going up slowly ... now on 27 (just after I voted :) ) Beta is looking good so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted December 9, 2011 Not only MGs should be fixed. The issue is with all weapons, MGs are just most notable. But making some compensation is only a part of a full fix. Here's another one: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/23559 (in short instead of standing in the open and on the roofs AI should use lower stances whenever possible - will solve a lot of problems with the recoil too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OMAC 254 Posted December 10, 2011 Here's another one: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/23559 Oh, I am very familiar with that one - one of my current favorites, and 41 votes, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted December 10, 2011 Oh, I am very familiar with that one - one of my current favorites, and 41 votes, too. Yes thats one of my favourites too. It just looks so wrong to see the AI stand up in a firefight... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stk2008 14 Posted December 10, 2011 I still want COPY MY STANCE to actually make the AI copy my stance. When I set it to that they still stand there like muppets the only stance they do seem to copy some times is when I lay down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted December 10, 2011 COPY MY STANCE is just labeled wrong. Agter you have told your guys to stay crouched, or to go prone, you can use COPY MY STANCE to make them choose their stance on their own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stk2008 14 Posted December 10, 2011 Ah ok thanks I find it to much work though to keep telling them to stand,crouch,lay down if the COPY MY STANCE worked as labeled it would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
