Guys, please be considerate of users who are using color themes other than the default. Coloring that text grey makes it look like this in my browser:

I don't see the purpose of making that text a different color than default. I'm not sure if rule §12 applies but I and others who can barely read that would appreciate it.

You can add "sounds when driving over people" and "sounds when crashing vehicles into something". ;)

Right now the only way to notice if you wrecked your car on a rock is to keep an eye on the vehicle damages...

Added one item - impacting humans. Impacting dead bodies is not only a sound issue; bodies, don't seem to be physical in the game (wheels don't go over the body but through it, you can't step on a body).

removed switching to pistol, there's a sound for that

[Variable 322]

From the dev branch changelog:

• Fixed: Incorrect positions of some items around weapons like laser pointers, underslung grenade launchers, and shaking crosshairs

Should these things have sounds?

[CaptainObvious 95]

Should these things have sounds?

For feedback purposes only, see here.

[Variable 322]

Should these things have sounds?

Yes. Switching between visual modes should at least make a low click sound, to at least simulate the feedback you receive in real life when clicking buttons. Any button, even if its sound is low.

[roshnak 41]

Yes. Switching between visual modes should at least make a low click sound, to at least simulate the feedback you receive in real life when clicking buttons. Any button, even if its sound is low.

Fair enough. I guess I just felt like I already have the feedback that I get when clicking buttons since that is the thing that I am actually doing in real life and the systems are responding to it.

List of missing effects

• Sound occulsion
  

Edited September 7, 2014 by Variable
corrected to Sound occulsion

[Fushko 60]

Sound for going into boresight view doesn't make much sense. There is no actual movement from the character, only the camera moves. If they make an actual animation then yes it makes sense to have it.

And I believe the correct term should be "Sound occlusion", not ambient occlusion, but I have no idea.

Also, I suggest adding this to the list: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=19940 (Being hit and blowing up inside a vehicle makes almost no noise)

[machineabuse 11]

Companies spend tons of money making noiseless pressure switches for flashlights and lasers, gamers ask for them to make noise. Go figure :)

I suppose you could say ambient occlusion for sound but the term itself is jargon for light rendering technique. Sound occlusion would be a better term.

It's all about tactile feedback. Just because I'm smashing buttons in the dark doesn't mean that the button I'm smashing is the one I want. But if I hear anything audible signifying it, I know without a doubt whether I pushed the right one or not.

I understand, but I still find it funny :) The old Surefire G2 on my desk has a switch typical of a modern combat light; you press it for momentary and you twist it for constant on. When using the momentary with gloves on the only indication anything worked is that the light comes on because you barely feel the switch. Personally I can't imagine an audible sound that would be appropriate given I know they shouldn't sound like anything.

[St. Jimmy 272]

Isn't it possible that some sounds could be client side only like flaslight switch etc small things so enemy won't hear those but you still get feedback what you did?

[Variable 322]

Sound for going into boresight view doesn't make much sense. There is no actual movement from the character, only the camera moves. If they make an actual animation then yes it makes sense to have it.

The fact that we are missing an animation for the character when going into boresight view doesn't mean there shouldn't be a sound for it. quite the contrary: If there isn't animation for it, AT LEAST provide a sound.

And I believe the correct term should be "Sound occlusion", not ambient occlusion, but I have no idea.

Oh damn, I got confused with the graphic setting... Thanks, corrected.

Yeah, but don't you think it would be a bit weird hearing the "going into boresight view" sound from other players when there is no actual movement from them? A workaround would be just hearing it from your character, and only in first person.
