I really wish there was an option to disable grass and parallax without turning down your Object/Terrain Quality settings that affect a lot of things. Both make crawling awful. We have a splendid stance system, why not use it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSD_Timewarp82 21 Posted March 25, 2014 vegeta897 said: You're missing the point. They "simulate" the grass at 500m because it isn't rendered past ~50m. That's the whole idea. They can't afford to render grass at that distance, so to prevent a player laying in grass from being too noticeable, they raise the visual height of the ground. It may look glitchy, but I'd rather have balance than a slight visual improvement. Don´t u think it wouldnt be better if you were able to adjust such things by yourself? I mean u dont need to give a fck which setting of detail your enemy is using, if you want to prevent to see a player proned in the grass you would be able to adjust it. And when someone likes to lying in high grass but accept the visuality and performance loss, why not, everyone personal liking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GranolaBar 10 Posted March 25, 2014 25-03-2014 EXE rev. 116269 Size: ~239 MB DATA Added: Openable cockpit and new instruments for To-199 'Neophron' (embarkation animation pending) Dev's, it's planned to fixed the problem with the view of the soldier when we mount in aircraft ? At this status, when i'm in the first view, i click get in the aircraft (all the aircrafts), my soldier show only the front of aircraft and not his movement... It's as i kiss my girlfriend without look her... why not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodunit 397 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Glad to see some more insturmentation in the Neophron, makes far more sense to fly now that we have an attitude indicator and a few other things...brownie points for gun ammo counter, though there seems to be some clipping in the middle MPD with the HSI. Also any chance the eyes can be moved closer or the head not move so far back? The distance to which the pilot leans back makes the text very difficult to decipher at a quick glance. (6dof would fix this and allow people to be as close or far as they want, nudge nudge wink wink) Also this may be ooold news but has anyone gone on an easter egg hunt to find all of the barrels with faces around the stadium and maybe elsewhere? Also it could be just me but dynamic lights seem to eat FAAAR less performance..running around on altis the difference between low and ultra is less than 5 frames versus the 10+ before.

You are crawling in grass, don´t expect to see much. But you have good chances of staying undetected if you move slowly wich can give you a serious tactical advantage.

roberthammer 582 Posted March 25, 2014 While flying around with new jets , noticed that the Canopy glass is way too transparent almost like theres no glass at all look at this gallery > http://imgur.com/a/iCSYi If you look at the sea through the canopy glass , then the glass disappears Buzzard doesnt have this issue , i think its a rvmat issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And when someone likes to lying in high grass but accept the visuality and performance loss, why not, everyone personal liking Definitely! There already are several feature requests regarding settings for adjusting grass detail level and drawing distance separately like e.g. http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=1291. This does not solve the problem with concealment of distant enemies, but for that some approaches have already been suggested, too. Now it's up to BIS :rolleyes: Come on devs, make us happy!

runekn 3 Posted March 25, 2014 Noticed yesterday that the To-199 can climb straight up 90 degrees and keep itself over 300 km/h forever (unless you run out of gas ofc.) :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonham 10 Posted March 26, 2014 No idea if this has to today's changes but: Window glass now requires many bullets to break (sometimes several 20 round 7.62 mm magazines) but when you shoot the blue window frame they break after one or two bullets. Tested on "i_house_big_01_v1_f", the two story residential building with the front porch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
