Whats this BIS OFP2 you mentioned?

Its a cancelled project that would eventually turn to ArmA. Some assets *might* have found their way to ArmA 2 too. All that remains are a few screenshots.

Thanks for the info.

Pretty much all of them ended up in ArmA 1 and 2 in some way or another. Mostly directly.

So much so, that the early versions of Cherno and Takistan desert terrains were first conceived for OFP2 where US Marines and Rangers would battle RusFed (and Takistanis?).

 

Would you like to know more?

Need some help with this issue: I have tried to troubleshoot this so much its unreal, When ever I tow the AV-8B harrier from CUP using the Lesh Tow mod the Harrier flies about and explodes in about 2 seconds. This also happens with the V-22 Osprey too. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am also using Lesh Tow 0.3 and the latest CUP mods.

Hey.

With the LAV-25, how can I prevent the AI from using the rear hatch and keep them inside the vehicle instead?

Thx.

In the config I think it is this...?

hideProxyInCombat

However I'm not sure how to do that outside of the config

Indeed, I was seeking for that option in the editor - maybe with a command script or something

One part of his question was found

https://dev.cup-arma3.org/T2309

I can not find a ticket with amphibious transport on the tracks (M113, BTR ....).
If you stay on the shore, half the vehicle in the water, half on the shore, you can lose the ability to drive the vehicle.

Has anyone encountered this and opened a ticket?

 

[Alwarren 2765]

Fixed in the next version.

Overlooked this part. I think that this behaviour is an engine bug, we know it exists but there doesn't seem to be a fix for it.

It's true, I once drove a vanilla pickup truck through a shallow body of water, and back out when the engine died. Didn't show damage to the engine, but it would not go anymore. It's like they're simulating water damage to the cylinders.

In this case, there is no damage to the motor. In the early stages, In Arma3, there was also this problem, with Marshall and Marid. This BIS has fixed. The moment when immersed in water (or vice versa) when the wheels are turned off and the propellers turn on, it worked incorrectly. The car sits on the rocks, and the wheels do not do the job.

This is very noticeable, when you come into the water (you go ashore) not perpendicular to the shore, the vehicle begins to turn to the shore (back, into the water).

Maybe the guys from BIS will be able to tell how they managed to solve this issue.

Yes, there are vehicles where there is no damage to the motor. It happens that vehicles have already left the water obstacle, and the motor turns off on the shore, without a sign of damage to the motor.

I remember the discussion coming up on our internal chat. I can't remember the details, I know that @Chairborne was looking into it, but I don't think the fix is a config thing. It's exclusive to tracked vehicles, and probably needs an engine-side fix.

Hi i'm wondering about the policy on retexturing CUP vehicles? I'm interested in adding various skins for the Seahawk.

Hi, you can retexture everything you want using hiddenSelectionsTextures. ;)

[Alwarren 2765]

To elaborate on that. You can:

 

• Create your own addon that depends on cup and retextures CUP assets with new textures.

You cannot:

• Copy anything from any of the CUP pbo's into your own addon.

 

Before anyone asks, there are virtually no PSD files for any of the assets. If you want to retexture specific stuff, you can ask on our discord if there are any templates, and we don't mind if you unpack one of the PBO's to look at the .paa files as long as you just look at it and don't copy it. If in doubt, feel free to ask.

Alternatively, adding to what was already said, you can donate your skins to CUP and we'll add them to the mod ;)

Or you join and become our local retexture specialist

Well, the Seahawk textures could certainly use a touch-up. Compared to the Blackhawk, it's kind of blurry.

[Wiki 1558]

There is no Seahawk - or am I missing something?

 

Seahawk = SH-60S

Knighthawk = MH-60S

Agreed. Textures are what makes most models from the Arma 2 era look dated. Definitely on the todo list, but then, so are around 900k other things

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

I have some Armaverse retextures if you guys (CUP team) are interested. Specifically olive and sand camo for the Abrams, LAV-25, and Humvee.

Sounds good. Give us a shout on Discord :)

I wanted to see if anyone else is having the same issue.  I have a 3 man team, 1 player controlled character.  As soon as the player controlled character enters the aircraft, the helicopter lifts off without waiting for the rest of the team to board.  Only happens with CUP aircraft.  Tested with the CH-47, MH-60S and the Merlin.  Tested with vanilla aircraft and no issues.  Tested with RHS aircraft with no issues as well.  Even with a radio alpha trigger, the heli will lift off but just hover above the LZ as soon as the player boards.  Vanilla and RHS aircraft will set on the ground until I initiate the radio trigger.

I made dozens of extractions with CUP helicopters and never had this problem. I wouldn't know where it comes from anyway, since there is no such parameter in the config that I know of.

There is no such thing as a "SH-60S."  Only a MH-60S.  And everyone pretty much just refers to both the R and the S as a "Seahawk" at this point.  Historically, the aircraft with the tailwheel forward were "Seahawks," and the -60S were "Knighthawks" because there were a lot of former -46 (Sea Knight) drivers flying the Sierra and couldn't let it go.  Their numbers are dwindling and they need to get over themselves.
