Hello:

Should already have TFAR support.

[deltagamer 612]

Confirmed, TFAR works well with the vehicles.

[Richards.D 761]

Alright, update v0.7 is here now.

Fixes included are:

Working Tachometer, Added the "Deployment" Variant with random extra kit (Credit Stiltman), and added Zeroize for the MK19, and M2HB. I also played with braking a lot, should stop shorter now and not lock the brakes.

Yes, sorry it does work with Zeus, forgot to mention that.

read last post wrong ..

Good Job and thanx

The good:

-Doesn't handle as bad as people say it does.

-It's durable, but...

The bad:

-some minor animation quibbles.

The ugly:

It's /way too durable/. The tires can not be damaged it seems. I unloaded an entire box of .50 cal from a M2 and the tires didn't pop. Another 300+ rounds into the engine block on the DXM did nothing but make the engine red. I went over rockwalls, rocks, ran into trees, you name it, but there was no apparent damage. Even going airborne resulted in no damage (and this was a nearly 9 km journey over hills that I went on). This applies to the basic version and the DXM version.

Either I'm too lazy to have looked back far enough, or it just hasn't been posted yet. Either way, here's my personal account of the drift/sliding issue as well as some other things I felt I needed to address. Great stuff though besides these issues, you're amazing!

-I feel like I'm in the making of the next FAF movie; Stratis Drift.

-Turning feels slow/doesn't seem match up to how much the wheel turns.

Do you really think you could turn that way on a dirt road at 85km/h with a 15 tons vehicle ? ;) You would have rolled over.

And MRAPs as well as any modern military vehicle can drive with flat tires.

In fact, they can still drive unless you just blow up the entire wheel. So that's pretty realistic even if it's not rendered in game.

I agree with you that 300 cal.50 bullets is a bit too much, but better this than an "instaboom" car.

its really really need to fix Steering little bir more.

I'm not talking about the most realistic physics here. I'm talking about A3 physics, which are fairly good, but still not terribly realistic. That, and how there are obvious flaws with the in-game maxxpro's traction that does not match that of the in-game NATO hunter's (Oshkosh M-ATV) which is only 500 lbs. heavier than the basic maxxpro model (CAT I).

Flaws in terms of steering wheel/wheel relation responsiveness, drifting at relatively slow speeds and stability on inclines and declines. In the video, you'll see me making pretty much the exact same turns at the same and higher speeds. In A3, turning the wheel alone acts like a breaking system. At least for vanilla vehicles. And player-observed turning of the steering wheel reacts much quicker and feels like the wheels are being turned to appropriate degrees.

Hmm interesting comparison. I'll work with the config and see if I can improve it, if anyone else has a better phys-x entry, just send it to me and I'll try it.

If you haven't seen this yet, Navistar has their different versions described and with rotatable models of them.

http://www.navistardefense.com/NavistarDefense/vehicles?filter=1&v1=v1

There are two versions though that they don't show. One is a medical/resupply version with the rear cab constructed without the two windows on either side.

And the other is with the camo netting over the 50. gunner's turret.

The recovery variant shown on Navistar is probably my favorite non-combat version though.

Nice addon.

If you open de rear door, and shoot, you cant hit the crew, invisible armor door remain and stop the bullets.

[sentence0219 10]

Great job:)

I enjoyed running at IED field.

Zeus compatibility will be added next update?

That video that nullrick made where the MRAP went off road and slid down the hill would have rolled that thing, MRAPs are so top heavy that they are very prone to rolling!!! The models look great btw.

Yeah, doesn't seem to be flipp/rollable at all.

Another thing I've recently noticed is that none of those vehicles seem to have any traction when driving a bit uphill, even on tarmac/paved roads the wheels seem to slip n slide without any grip when trying to steer.

They're also acting very weird when trying to climb steep hills, they stop, roll for a bit, stop and roll a bit again, all with the fast forward button pushed all the time. Seems to be a gearbox issue?

Configuring vehicles must be a pain in arma 3, heh.

Really love the new deploy version, looking awesome!

[JamesTheClarke 40]

Hi RichardsD,

I've been checking out this mod every time it updated since it is just looking damn awesome. I did some testing and I can confirm Grumpy Old Man's statement about the uphill issues. Driving in general however is much improved compaired to previous versions, I think you are very close to nailing it perfectly.

I found some issues however with the exiting from the back of the vehicle. The Dash Deployed model (pitty that one's my favourite :D ), the MK19 and the Maxxpro M2 in particular seems to bug out like the old versions did previously, meaning your character gets stuck in the door frame and starts taking damage. The other two models DXM and Maxxpro plus caused no issues when exiting. I do use a couple of mods, but I think the only one that could be interfering would be AGM (if at all).

Question: Are there plans for the future to disable access to the back unless the door is open? Will there be a function to open the back door from the outside?

Keep up the great work, can't wait till this mod is polished and finalised.

[El Tyranos 1263]

Hello !

annoying bug report : players in cargo often get killed when the vehicle is shot at with anykind of weapon.

Hello !

That's strange, when my group used em and found them to be the safest vehicles, even under an extremely hot firefight. What weapons were get firing at ya?

[El Tyranos 1263]

Not sure of it as the firefight was pretty intense too. I think it's a 50 cal. mounted on an offroad. I died 2 times in two ambushes. I'm wondering if it's doesn't wen through the windows.
