It is showing as updated 40 minutes ago (as of 1232 EST) but my six isn't showing the new version... still shows 2.4?

[sonsalt6 105]

Be patient :)

The network is syncing, sometimes your API call might be a bit delayed, thus the version will not be available everywhere at the same time. I will look into the ability to make the posts available once the versions are actually available everywhere, but that is not so easy as it depends on the client call.

Anyhow, now it should be there :)

enjoy

Ah gotcha, never knew how it worked, thanks for the info!

Just a heads up:

Hellcat helicopters (Lynx) do not have a working "magic radar" at the moment, it is like that in vanilla.

I'm trying to bring that back cause you loose the MWR too, and that IS a big deal.

[erazeri 1]

They changed the radarType into value of 8, which is undocumented but my best guess it's the "dummy compass".

Changing that back to value of 4 gives back the air radar.

Anyway I've been thinking of making a missile warning system using the IncomingMissile EH that would give the warning also to the guys at back letting them know not to disturb the pilot too much.

Just haven't got around doing it and reverting to the magic radar was a bit easier.

Is it possible to have a magic radar only on active (motor active) vehicles? Its almost impossible for AA-Vehicles to ambush.

It' would be awesome, but I'm not skilled enought to pull that. However, MANPADS can do nasty things cause "radars" don't pick em up.

Now, i have not tried it, but this radar thingy is LOS based, so if u place a SAM below a camo net maybe it could work.

If you assign vehicles to CIV side, they will always have just white radar signature. One can disable radar signature for an unit altogether too.

[CaptainAzimuth 714]

Just a heads up, something like the A-10 would NOT be equipped with a HMD, due to the fact that it's already got a HUD, an having both would be extremely disorienting. If the aircraft does not have a HUD, such as something like the F-35 or most helicopters, than it's more than reasonable. But the one for the Wipeout is far out of place. This goes for in game and Real life, if there is HMD involved, that's because the aircraft is usually designed to be compatible with it.

[corporal_lib[br] 396]

So guess what? F16C block 52 have HUDs AND HMDs... they don´t exclude each other, they COMPLEMENT each other... the HMD appears when you´re not looking directly to the front (where you can see the HUD)

I have no prob at with wipeout HMD+HUD combo... except for the fact this config conflict´s with teacup´s Su-22M4 (it removes that jet weapons GUI, so I can´t tell which weapon is armed =P

Cheers!

That maybe cause he is using the wipeout as a base in the config.

Yes, you are correct. What we really need is IFF.

Hi geraldbolso,

Just want to say that I love your work :) - thank you for all of your effort and a worthy contribution to something that was much needed in Arma 3.

These HMDs are outstanding, but I seem to be encountering a strange issue when flying as a pilot in the attack helicopters. For some reason the AI gunner in the Comanche/Kajman no longer seems to be able to engage enemy infantry..

I have tested this in the editor and the AI gunner will engage vehicles with the gun without issue but when it comes to infantry he simply acquires them, and slaves the gun onto them but he does not open fire... whether I command him to open fire or not. The only way for me to fire upon infantry is to switch to manual fire and pull the trigger while the AI gunner has the gun on target.

Please note that I have ruled out all of the other mods I use as the cause of this issue, and it only occurs when I activate the HMD mod, and persists even if I run the HMD mod on its own with vanilla A3. Could this be related to the weapon tweaks?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Best Regards

It probably is, the weird thing is that i didn't touch anything AI related. Try cycling the weapons on the gunner (when he is in control of them) all the way until the gun is selected.

I also recall u needing to be stoopidly close to infantry for the gunner to engage em. Will dig in a bit more.

Thanks for reporting!

[Gryphon-01 10]

Hello again,

Just to report, I have carried out further tests with latest version of the mod but removed the hmds_kimi_weapons PBO from the mod folder before running A3 - I can confirm that the AI gunners are now engaging infantry without any issue. I guess we could consider this a temporary workaround for the moment, at the expense of not using the weapons features though lol :p

Best Regards

Hey quick question. The HMDs conflict with any other vehicle by not showing me the speed and height in the top left but rather only showing me the flare and it's setting. Is there anyway that I can have the HMDs disabled on any vehicle it does not support?

Nothing I can do about that, since those vics probably use as a base clase the vanilla choppers.

There might be another solution, I'll have to test some stuff.
