Thanks a lot for mirrors Kari Charles :) 
 

[bagpiperguy 74]

Just checked and everything runs fine with RHS, it has to be some other addon causing the issue

 

I will check with some others, if I find which one it is would you like to know? 

 

Scratch that the new update fixed it :D

NATO SF and Russian Spetsnaz Vehicles v1.2

[hoizen 18]

Hey Massi, Love the vehicles. But for static weapons, some of them are ear-bleedingly loud. (Namely SPG-9 and TOW). Any plans to tone down the decibels on these? 

Example for the SPG-9. Firing the SPG-9 is extremely loud :


vs. Metis firing

Hey, Massi.  Love to see your work updating!  I think, however, I've found a bug.

 

http://i.imgur.com/JTLUIny.png

 

Basically, that's one of your UH-60's sitting idle "on the ground".  All I did was toggle AFM on, and WHAMMO.  The entire aircraft literally jumps into the air a few feet, then settles back down with the wheels floating about three feet from the floor.  Seems to be like that all the time when I have AFM on.  The AI units don't use AFM, so you actually have to get into the aircraft yourself.

That's your Chinook (a brilliant model, btw) floating a few inches off the ground, viewed from outside with no-one in the aircraft.  He's one of the lesser offenders here, as when you get in, the jump is very slight.  Unfortunately, it seems as if all your helicopters have this basic bug.  They sit perfectly fine w/o AFM, but when it's on, they all (even the Mi's) jump a few feet into the air and float above the ground.  I'm not familiar with what might cause this, so I'm afraid I can't be much help with a solution (if there is one).

 

Let me know if you can reproduce this on your own.  Maybe it's just me.

 

TL;DR: Helicopters float above ground with AFM on.

 

(Edit: Fix broken links)

Hey Massi. The new update is awesome!!

 

I had an issue pop up in my .rpt file on my server relating to the F35C CAS (not sure if it's present in the other 2 variants):

15:19:19 Error in expression < { mas_foldWings=false; };
_loadout_l = toLower(loadout);
_gun_l = toLower(gun);>
15:19:19   Error position: <toLower(loadout);
_gun_l = toLower(gun);>
15:19:19   Error tolower: Type Array, expected String
15:19:19 File mas_f35c\data\scripts\init.sqf, line 9

And it looked like to me it spawned without any armament!

 

To note that I spawned it with an AI crew already in flight from a script if that's relevant at all!

This mod is fantastic with the variety of vehicles it adds into ArmA 3, however I've noticed a few bugs while using the SOV HMMWV's in the pack and will list them below.

 

First, it was mentioned a few months back that the Tan SOVs all show as Woodland when in Driver, Gunner, and Front Gunner and this still persists.

 

Second is an issue relating to the Drivers position. The steering wheel turns the complete opposite direction of what would be normal for a vehicle. This one isn't the end of the world, but its a bit immersion breaking none the less.

 

Lastly, there is an issue that pops up while in any FFV position of the HMMWV, and it has an image to show it below. It seems that the interior and the front of the vehicle completely disappear while in these positions and in first person. This isn't a problem for most people since they can just swap to third person and it goes away, but my unit plays exclusively in first person and it is quite noticeable and immersion breaking.

 

If these were already known issues I apologize, but I figured I should post about it just in case it has slipped through somehow.

Hi,

 

I'm looking for help in order to add chemical and nuclear arty shells/rockets and air bombs to my vehicles.

 

Also if possible to add my gassmask as a countermeasure for them would be great!

 

If anyone is willing to help please PM me ;-)

 

Best Regards

[your_mother 10]

Massi have you considered adding any more vehicles?

Possible ideas:

AAV-P7/A1 AmTrac

M2A2 Bradley

M1A2 Abrams

V-22 Opsrey

LAV

LCAC

F-18

[axelius 10]

Love this stuff, complements greatly with other stuff. Have to agree on the earbleeding sounds though.

 

And also, that Grad recoil on the Hilux is redonkulous.

I'm wondering about this too. It's very immersion breaking when you're restricted to 1st person.

NATO SF and Russian Spetsnaz Vehicles v1.3

[Megiddo 73]

Thanks for the update!

 

Keep up the great work   :)

[imager6 40]

Massi, great work, thanks. I use Play with Six and for some reason your latest up-date is not there??

[GrayWolf79 0]

Awesome work on the vehicles... just one thing:

 

The hilux has the direction of the steering wheel inverted so when you turn right the steering wheel goes left, when you turn left the steering wheel goes right

Also on the hilux the speedometer gauge is inverted, its going counter-clockwise.

Also on the hilux the left hand, that should rest on the steering wheel, is below the steering wheel in a very awkward position and the right hand doesnt rest on the gear knob.

 

Apart from the hilux stuff that I mentioned, GREAT MOD!

[andrew_ts 10]

I would like to ask permission to include this pack and all of the dependent packs in my combined pack for my server. I really like this pack and am creating a combined pack for my server and would like to include this one.

[deadpool2894 14]

Hey massi i love the mod, but can you replace the stinger humvee with the avenger humvee in the next update because the CUP mod has avenger humvee in it and they use an open license.

 

[zagor64bz 1225]

The best vehicles pack out there, so far. ONLY thing missing is a more aggressive attack heli.Apache will be the best, but will settle for a cobra/super-cobra  .
Bravo Massi(mo?)

Theres a bug,

bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/I_mas_D30_base/Turrets/MainTurret/ViewOptics.initAngleY

Just checked the addon and I've got no errors, I've tested it vanilla and along with ACE3, RHS and CUP, no problems fo far. 

Try to redownload the file and check for old version files in the modfolders (like old version in the addon folder and new one from steam Subscription)

Awesome Mod, thanks for the work you've put in!

 

Ive installed v1.3 on my Wasteland server and I am having an issue with entering the MI-8 as pilot, I can only enter as copilot and take control so I cant fire weapons. It also spawns about a foot of the ground and only settles down after starting the engines. I read the previous posts and disabled the other mods and reinstalled a fresh copy, but no fix.

 

The Ural also is a few inches above the ground and never settles. Its more noticeable on bare surfaces, like pavement.

thanks for reporting

 

Mi8: -  they stay above the ground in advanced flight model , don't know how to fix it at the moment

        - in order to get in as pilot as a temporary fix : load as co-pilot, get out, then move to the right -back side of the chopper looking at it a little bit further then the tail rotor and you'll have the get in as pilot option

 

Ural: I'll check land contact points

 

regards :)
