Being ejected from vehicles

[Freebie 10]

Hi, I've been away from the Arma scene for almost a year and just reinstalled the game again yesterday. Also used the new 1.6 patch.

I've got a weird new bug where I get ejected from vehicles, it can happen when attempting to change seat positions or when starting the vehicle moving or when the vehicle stops moving. It just throws me out. I'm running a few addons which I had before (with no problems) so it might be to do with one of those not being compatible with 1.6. But before I go spending hours trying to figure out what the problem is I was hoping that someone here may be able to help, or at least point me in the right direction to start looking.

I'm not running any major mods like ACE etc.

Thanks.

What mission were you playing? Some restrict vehicle access to certain classes or you need to rank up first.

The mission is one I made. After testing what you said it does seem like certain positions in vehicles are restricted depending on rank, or what your class is. If I have a go as team leader it lets me do it all but playing as a lower rank like rifleman gets me kicked out of certain positions ie driving armoured humvees. It also only does it if you're grouped with others, but not if you're on your own.

I'm sure that I never used to have this problem before and anyone could do anything. Do you know how to fix it so there are no restrictions?

Found what the problem was and it wasn't a problem. Whilst trying it out in the editor the AI team leader that I was grouped to was giving me an order to disembark the vehicle, but because I have AI voices and captions disabled I couldn't see or hear it.

I really wouldn't have thought that an AI could make an actual player do something but there ya go, they can. Everytime he said for me to disembark I got thrown out and couldn't stop it lol.
