castorfin 10 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Please please please PLEASE stop using PIP in vehicle viewports! ATM best vehicle for the driver is bradley, BTR is usable but BMP-3 driver seat is just pain! PIP is slow, decreases FPS even more and ultimately is very VERY bad quality compared to direct view. If you still plan to stick with PIP in them, would you atleast explain why? I do understand it's a "cool" feature, but it makes big sacrifices in playability.

reyhard 2082 Posted March 18, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai9nP1SSeH4very interesting video 3.18 - "bm-48" apfsds on ballistic computer 2s25 4.04 - night sight 2s25 4.31 - day sight 2s25 4.50 - sight for atgm(?) 2s25 and other ;) ps 1) sight of gunner on bmp-3 is not attachet to the turret 2) Russian army use red tracers, why do you give them in mod non realistic green tracers? well, that video is mashup of that one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AGQDPog7fE&hd=1 and notice that ingame sights are based on that :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While BI's implementation of PIP is indeed subject to improvement, why do you want them to be removed? Here's Arma 2's BMP-3 without any PIP. I don't really understand how being virtually unable to see where you going (unless you have switched to the 2D view) is good for gameplay. :confused: Edited March 18, 2015 by Semiconductor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legolasindar 3 Posted March 18, 2015 I think same of castorFIN. PIP in the actual stage of the BMP is a not good solution. Unclear (bad definition), low refresh frequency, drops FPS. When i try this vehicle, i use 2D optic for drive. Or improve PIP, or use more usefull use other system. For example normal 3D cabin with PoV adjustable (in the ArmA3, with the classic controls, you can move around the cockpit you head with the CTRL key (im not speaking about ALT key for rotate the head). This is my feedback, me feel ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spangg 0 Posted March 18, 2015 Hi guys and thanks for this great mod(s)!! Does anyone know that if I downloaded the 2 mods separately, is there a way to get the missions you included in escalation? Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semiconductor 309 Posted March 18, 2015 I think he wants this instead using the PIP for those windowsInteresting. I always thought (since BI implemented direct view only on vehicles with non-periscopic viewports) that direct view is not possible unless driver's line of sight is not blocked by vehicle's hull.

Tsark 12 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) I saw some M4 Barrel lenght talk a few pages back, and i have to say, saying that it looks almost like a 16inch barrel might be a tad over the top, here' s what a 16.1 barreled m4 look a like looks like;http://www.colt.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=DrNcSB8CTJI%3d&tabid=259&portalid=0&mid=885:p All joking aside, i think that the barrel lenght is now fine but that it' s the front sight that' s looking a bit too short and vertical, lenghtening it by a few millimeters might solve the problem. Basically, i understand what you guys mean when you say that the barrel looks too long, i just don' t think that it' s the barrel lenght itself that is at fault but rather a too short front sight. And i' m 99 per cent certain sure that the barrel lenght before 0.3.6 that lengthened it was really too short compared to the rest of the weapon. About the blockII m4s, considering that imo the barrel lenght is fine i' d say that that the culprit is the rail system. About the 10.5 barreled models i didn' t really take a look.

MrHuachuca 10 Posted March 18, 2015 Wow.... just absolutely WOW. Amazed. Looking foward to the next update to see this puppy as well as see the next set of vehicles ;) Love your guy's vehicle mods. Yes, most arma 2 ports like the UH60 and CH47 but you guys retexture those imports so well! Can't wait to see the seahawks, civilian cars, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PTV-Jobo 820 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Have to say, every time I load up A3 with this mod, I keep getting impressed. The attention to details and quality is right up there in the realm of DLC quality (or better). You can really see all the years of experience in this mod. Just really inspiring to see. :) Edited March 18, 2015 by Yokhanan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
