I like the ejection seat tweaks. ive already accidentally ejected about 10 times, jet left sitting on ground unusable afterwards

 

Which is an issue with the overall action menu system. For example, I wanted to quickly lower my flaps using the action menu, and once they were full lowered, the next action was eject.....

 

I remember, once upon a time, there was a thread called

Action Menu Streamlining

 

however, that feature seems to be abandoned.

[oukej 2910]

That one introduced a possibility to get rid of any action that's also in controls based on whether it's bound to a key or not.
We haven't set it for all applicable actions though. Many players have some action menu items bound to keys already by default without knowing about it and they keep using the action menu.

Yes it will be benefit to make sure we can bind the Eject to a button,or to put the on a hot-key,to get there instantly.

That's why I hoped this idea would be developed further and we could actually decide which actions to hide and which not.

It would be nice if some of the more common Action Menu usages could be removed if a key is bound. 

Gear up/down

Flaps up/down

Eject

 

etc

Please check my post and tell me what you think about the possibility of creating a fligh plan with steering point visible only on HUD / HMD and GPS.

 

Thanks

Actually what are those options on action menu about panels? Is this related to Jets? Why its visible on infantry and all the rest?

It's been mainly done due to technical reasons (get out action allowed in near zero speeds conflicting with special airplane eject). For sake of consistency in get out and eject action behaviors across the sandbox. And also to avoid accidental ejections that are just one click away

 

I understan. So maybe you could remove it from the list but still allow people that bind a key for ejection to still use it. This would solve both problem no?

They all should be. Can you pls add more details when this doesn't work?

 

Zero-zero ejection seat are seat that can be used from a grounded stationary position (zero-zero stand for zero altitude and zero airspeed)

 

Since we can't eject from a stationary vehicle, they're not zero-zero seat. :)

 

Also @oukej, do you know if there's some change for the front wheel rotation? Could we get rid of the +/-15° of rotation and go with a +/-90° instead? It would help a lot in cranked space (like on a carrier... for example) and would be more realistic.

The info panel is really just the GPS or the vehicle you are in .

They are for the new custom info panels and disappear from the action menu as soon as you bind them to a key.

Sup guys,

Any ETA for Malden on the DevBranch :p ?

[S3blapin 15]

So, I don't know if it's only from my side or if the game that change but I have a problem... It's seems the axis for throttle was reduced/changed for chopper and jet after the DLC patch... I tried to rebind all my key, but nothing change... It looks like the current axis use only the half of the full range available...

 

I will pass on the fact that only half the throttle axis is usefull on the jet, but for the chopper it's totally insane...

 

So, i decide to do some screenshot. and here is what I hyave:

 

- Maximum Cyclic when you use my Throttle. The Instantaneous Vertical Speed is around 7.5

Spoiler

 

- Maximum Cyclic power when you use keyboard (DIgital input):

Spoiler

 

 

And more interesting look at what the game use from my throttle axis!!

 

here i'm at 0% power for chopper and jet:

Spoiler

 

here i'm at 50%:

Spoiler

 

 

I first thought that the game doesn't fully recognize  my axis, but no... When you use the In game tool, the game fully recognize it. From -100% to +100%

 

I'm completely lost... Someone can help me? I made all the test without any mods, I remove every single useless keybind to not have any interaction.

 

My Hotas is a Thrustmaster Warthog...

 

HELP!!! :O

The implementation of tide simulation is pretty neat, however, coastlines look very ugly currently.

 

Hi there!
thanks for reporting that. All issues related with tide should be fixed in next versions. :)

Regards.

Sound great. Are there plans for get/setTide commands similar to fog?

[R3vo 2654]

It seems that the Praetorian 1C still isn't able to accurately aim at targets.

 

 

 

Seems like someone needs to teach them how to accurately aim at targets without moving back and forth.

 

Furthermore I noticed that the longer the movement is, the more inaccurate the targeting.

 

With the upcoming Tank DLC it would be nice if this issue could be tackled, since tanks suffer the same issue and in my opinion it just looks rediculous.

 

Last but not least, one can observe that everytime the turret is turning it's slighly bouncing. Be honest, did you hide pettka in there? ;)

 

For those who are interested in the code:
 

Spoiler

[] spawn 
{
	while {alive test} do// test is the turret
	{
		private _pos = test getRelPos [random [0,10000,20000],random 359];
		_pos set [2,random [0,5000,1000]];
		test doWatch _pos;
		sleep 8;

	};
};
