OA I believe can currently be set to around 50k viewdistance via script (I know it can do 20k at least, just have a hard time remembering the max). The lack of independent object sliders though makes it fairly wonky... Also the netcode at that distance starts to get really weird.

Are you playing pure OA or Rearmed?

[Neus 11]

Same as TKOH, viewdstance can go up to 10K (or was it 20K?) reference this for an idea http://images.vg247.com/current//2011/07/Zeus_Arma3_screenshots_forums_004.jpg compare the airport in this image to get an idea of distance http://www.arma3.com/features/terrain

That image is sweet! Where did you find that!?

It's an older promo image from 2011 I think.

Check the image section in the confirmed features thread.

Pure OA (well CO obviously), setViewDistance can go way beyond 10k.

Anyone else notice the pistols still not in the holsters??

There are also some new scripting commands regarding pistols.

Damn, that rate of fire is sexy; didn't the AH6 in ArmA II have only 4k rounds? AH9 will be King in many situations on Stratis.

Cool Guys. It was us, the guys on the ArmA III ARG Club on Steam

That list also has a script for swimming about breathing, as well as a burning script and co pilot script. megusta

So it can be firmly said, you can't go underwater forever, you can be lit on fire (presumably like ACE), and it will utilize TOH's copilot function. Though, that last should be expected with flightmodel. Does this also mean we can have radio? "Good morning, Stratis! Breaking news from China: they are trying to expand! And now with some favorite Hardstyle! (see the Noisecontrollers DLC from TOH)"

So far, so good.

Guys, The Helicopter video has been removed although I did download the video in the event of such happening. Question is, is it legal for me to upload?

[byku 13]

Don't ask, just do ;p and don't say it was you!:cool:

[Neus 11]

It's been set as private for me not removed hmm

[.Taffy 10]

[PsychoPigeon 10]

Yes, you've signed no agreement. Doesn't mean the moderators here won't delete the post though.

Yeah thats one of the best screens I've seen thus far, almost like hes flyin at 8,000-10,000ft maybe even higher.

[nodunit 397]

If distance shots are what you're looking for then I suggest you have a look at some of the much older images. http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2012/04/Arma3_screenshot_stratis_1204_03.jpg this one for example gives an idea of not only render distance but just how large Stratis really is since there are buildings to relate to along with how rugged the terrain is.

Then there is this http://blog.gamingdragons.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/arma3-screenshot15-gamescom.jpg this http://wallpaperscraft.com/image/arma_3_soldiers_flight_ground_hands_36990_1920x1080.jpg and this http://www.shrani.si/f/1o/7T/3yTg94DV/lemnosarma3.png
