By "global and local lighting" I assume they mean the fact that individual rain drops are now affected both by ambient light and by individual light sources.

As seen here:

Holy damn ! look at this

Can't wait to try this out in-game. :D

[Tyl3r99 41]

this is big step forward, well done BIS keep It up

[Varanon 892]

Added: Small objects (courtesy of the DayZ team - thanks!):

Why are those only objects that can be placed in the world, but can not be picked up ?

Epic change log :D

Great weapons - i really like the VS-121 aka Rahim and the Zubr's reload anim :)

[-Coulum- 35]

Beautiful update BIS. Only thing I can find to complain about is the marking on the DMS seem to be blurred.

[bullet purveyor 85]

Thanks for fixing the ridiculous binocular sway.

The new rain looks much better, also no rain indoors anymore. :)

I think the wind influence are to subtle though, at max wind/gust setting there are not much difference.

The revolver was really well made. Great reload animations as RH said, and you can actually see the bullet is gone and empty casings are left when the cylinder rotates.

Hmm I remember seeing rain other side of a hangar for example in the slipped version. Now the rain kicks in only when I'm close enough an edge of a roof. I can upload a video if you don't know what I mean. Otherwise loving it.

Thanks for the binoc sway reduce. Maybe bit too stable now but I don't mind that much because it was way overdone before.

Rain looks very nice step forward, as one issue I noticed that it blinks or even dissapear (until moving view again) with certain angles between 270-360 and 0-45 degrees (combined with certain vertical angles). Also when in car (tested with hunter) with 1st person view, at least in night time, you cant see the raining unless switching to NVgoggles or 3rd person view.

FIX: Fatigue now affects animation speed properly (work in progress)

After last update it doesn't work anymore :(.

I agree, it's an incredibly splendid improvement compared to what we used to have.

You can get some nice sideways results by forcing the wind to extremes, but then the clouds move way too fast as well as other wind influenced things.

Hopefully the further planned improvements will go into a bit more details like bringing back the rain splashes on the ground, rain sounds for different surfaces (like metal or canvas roofs of objects/vehicles) and whatnot.

I was afraid of that. We need inventory items not more world clutter.

Would be nice if they were indeed inventory items with a ground model, we can spawn them in holders and make them world clutter easy. So might as well have both.

Anyway, F35 is now in game. :p

[gliptal 25]

Damn you I was already racing to my rig. :D

Yay!

If we could use them as actual items, say inside our medical kits and FAKs, this would be the game of the century for me.

Lol, let me foogle that for you!

[mistyronin 1181]

I really like how the new british uniform looks ingame, but I thought it would be included as some kind of group inside the NATO, not only in story chars.

[blackmailer 10]

Fixed: Gap between ground and bottom edge of the gate of Dome

what does this mean?

[progamer 14]

I noticed the rain does not fall onto glass, no windshield wipers yet, no sound of rain hitting outside of vehicle, no wet ground, and not affected by wind enough.

Yeah, and you can't smell it.

:D It also likes to follow the player at high speed. http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=15434

[Smurf 12]

Yeah, and you can't smell it.

But this can't be replicated ingame (yet), to others on the other hand...

[gliptal 25]

On the other hand, let's be patient. It's clearly stated in the changelog it is WIP.

Yay!

[pawelkpl 29]

finally camonets are FIXED, no mad attacks on it. thx BIS.

Yea, it's missing sounds of it coming in contact with objects, vehicles and the ground.
