downloading.... will stick on the server and see.... thanks

If you hover with an Helicopter in 10-15 m over the Runway and push slightly straight down you can "feel" the Ground Force.

Also if you flying with an Harrier over it with Nose slightly down you will be pushed up a little bit.

Nice. :)

I have updated the ticket, but all planes which failed to land now land correctly in South Takistan...

A10

SU25

L-39ZA

AN-2

The L-39ZA comes down with a bump but it does land!

MQ9 is fine now?

[icebreakr 3107]

Awesome work guys. I don't test beta but will make sure something else comes alongside with v1.60 ;)

[sickboy 13]

Who's that ? :D

... PMC/BAF signature problem status seems to be dangerously silent.... Oh well, who needs them anyways! :cool:

(yes, it's a joke etc :P)

[jedra 11]

I'll test that now - forgot about that one...

EDIT ----> The MQ9 still piles into the hill immediately befort the runway - I think it's approach is too low for that airport. Remember this also happens in 1.59, so it's not a regression issue.

who needs them ?? only servers that use sigs....lol... no seriously... I have it turned off due to problems... it would be good to see it working...

[On_Sabbatical 11]

Please do all tests with very low health for autopilot landings .

Hehe, sigs are needed: http://sickboy-six.blogspot.com/2011/11/v2-signatures-bisign-and-bikey-what-is.html

More joking about who needs PMC/BAF :-P

Good point. The L-39ZA for example get 0.3 worth of damage (using getdamage) when landing.

EDIT --> Updated the ticket with some stats.

Hey guys,

Did you notice that HE rounds on 2A42 gun (present on vodnik Bppu,kamov and BMP2) does not a lot of damage.

Also noticed on AA12 with HE.

Repro:

-In editor place HMMV (m2) and a BMP for example with HE rounds reloaded and also a solider with AA12 and HE rounds.

-Then start shooting the gunner with 2A42.

-You ll find that it will take you more than a round to kill him.

-Try also to have an Inf groupement,try to shoot them with the same gun,you will notice that unless you get direct shots on them they wont die easily.Whic is not expected from this type of rounds ... High explosives ...

I was wondering the same thing...... :confused:

And nice blogpost on bikey/bisign.

Tested new ground effect for light heli and Apache - very well done. Starts to remind me of ToH when close to ground.

And what is the MQ9?

I´ve observed something :

When i start the Game with Beta via Modlauncher, the allocator Line is missing in the .rpt

EDIT : E-Mail with .rpt File sent to Dwarden.
