ArmA 3 Rotorlib flight model locked server side

[oshydaka 1]

Hello everyone :)

Quick question : Is there a way to lock the flight model server side ?

I want players on my server be forced to use advanced flight model with all options to "Yes" and not be able to change anything.

Thanks

I don't know about the server but in the mission there's a parameter "forceRotorLibSimulation" (0 - default,options based; 1 forced On; 2 forced Off) for use in description.ext file.

Ok thanks, didn't see about that ^^

I think this will be the solution.

Where did you find that btw ?

Edit : nevermind, founded ^^

Hm, just thinking about that, but will this forceRotorLibSimulation set to 1 let player choose options like "Rought Landing", "Wind Effect", "Auto-trim", etc... ?

At least in SP the Advanced FM is forced but the subsettings are unlocked.

I haven't seen any other ways to configure RotorLib, so my guess is that those options can't be forced.

I'm also looking for the solution. If those options can't be forced, I'm gonna riot.

If this is possible and how you can set it up is pretty much my personal priority at the moment. I would have liked it a lot if there would have been some clear directions from Bohemia about those matters.

Is there a way to force the autotrim to be disabled aswell?

Having autotrim on doesnt really make sense to me (us) when there is still auto trim.

That's the problem. Nobody knows how to force those settings on the server.

[Crielaard 434]

To enforce Advanced flightmodels:

In the description.ext:forceRotorLibSimulation = 1;

but now how to force the Autotrim to be disabled...?

[gippo 38]

You can't right now.

Yep, I was gathering for information, and indeed, we can't for now ><

I really hope to see those options really soon ^^

BIS should migrate the settings:

RTDEnabled=1;
RTDFullHUD=1;
RTDRoughLanding=0;
RTDWindDynamic=1;
RTDAutoTrim=0;
RTDStressDamage=1;

to class Difficulties in .Arma3Profile

[oshydaka 1]

Yes yes and YES Shockster :D

Or even as an option to put in init.sqf

RTDEnabled=1;

RTDRoughLanding=0;
RTDWindDynamic=1;

Yes, please!

I was very sad when I found out you couldn't force it on the server. Nor can you force it on BIS' multiplayer helicopter mission because the files are encrypted and thus you can't use the scripting command. Choosing in the mission parameters whether you want to force it on or not would probably be better.

Yes this should be a hotfix by BIS as its basicly an oversight.

Thanks for making the feedback mate, i've asked my community to upvote this ^^

Hope this will gain visibility from Bohemia devs

There is really no point of advanced flight system if it can be disabled by the user (or if aspects of it can be disabled). At least not in a PvP environment.

This was reported on today's dev build:

Looks like it's coming.

[Crielaard 434]

looks like a first step

[oshydaka 1]

Any clue on what they mean by this ? :/

[Crielaard 434]

Rotorlib can be forced now, through a command in the server.cfg file, instead (or on top of?) through the mission's description.ext.

[spanishsurfer 58]

BIS, add the new command to your wiki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg

Added: Possibility to force Advanced Flight Model from server config (forceRotorLibSimulation: 0 - options, 1 - forced on, 2 - forced off) - overrides description.ext

In the Changelogs :)

But we still cannot force AFM dunctions like stress damage, wind, etc.
