daminos 10 Posted January 8, 2015 I have looked around for thsi topic and googled it alot but did not find anything. So, I absolutely LOVE the UAVs in this game but I noticed I could not find a way to control multiple drones at once, let's say 3 drones at once, I tried to help my friends on wasteland which were in a fight they were getting attacked by 2 tanks, so I thought hey let's let my greyhawks ATGM fly over there and destroy it, but I noticed I could only control one, I wanted to make 2 of them fly over there and seek and destroy and control one of the drones manually. So yeah, here's my question, is it posible to control 3 drones at the same time or could this ever be a feature to be added? I would really love it if I could I imagine someone conrolling 10 drones at once is not possible, but that's not what I am asking, having 1 person control an army of drones would be completely overkill, but I guess you could limit the terminal's capacity to just 2/3 drones? Once again if something like that is already possible I would love to hear it, because it's really hard to reconnect to a greyhawk when it's 3km away and 200m up in the air ;P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gutsnav 13 Posted January 9, 2015 it's really hard to reconnect to a greyhawk when it's 3km away and 200m up in the air ;P There's a selection box in the upper left of the terminal. You can scroll through and connect to all available unmanned vehicles, allowing you to give orders / control as many as you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Variable 322 Posted January 10, 2015 BIS I think it would be wise to put the UAV feed ("AV Video") NOT on the GPS display. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easyeb 137 Posted January 22, 2015 Is anybody else experiencing insane camera vibration in the Greyhawk turret view since the update to 1.38? 1. Set the Greyhawk to loiter at 500m or 2000m altitude. 2. When the Greyhawk has reached said altitude, look through gunner turret, zoom in on ground. Could someone please check to see if they are also experiencing this or if there's something wrong on my end? I'm a UAV operator so my life is ruined atm :) I would really appreciate input from the rest of you. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddiePrice 16 Posted January 22, 2015 I've always had camera vibration. Seems to have been unaffected by any patches so far, almost constant since release. Seems to get worse with higher altitudes. Only benefit now is being able to lock or fix the turret. I'd like to see the sounds disabled for the UAV feeds. I don't know if its possible because of the way the game works, but its entirely pointless and incredibly distracting when all you can hear is the drone through the feed and nothing else going on around you.

easyeb 137 Posted January 22, 2015 You mean you can't tell any difference between 1.36 and 1.38? Earlier the camera could be a little frustrating at times when the UAV was turning hard, but nothing like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easyeb 137 Posted January 22, 2015 Here's a video of how it looks now: http://youtu.be/YIVhftp1v4I Sorry for quality and audio, but this is nowhere near how the camera performed in 1.36. Is it like this for you all? This is the Greyhawk at 2000m following the Speedboat with the camera locked on the ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it like this for you all? This is the Greyhawk at 2000m following the Speedboat with the camera locked on the ship. Is that single-player or multi-player? I've only used the drones a few times in MP and they've been no where near that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easyeb 137 Posted January 23, 2015 The video shows single player. Could you possibly fire up your game and set the Greyhawk to 500 or 2000 meters and when it's reached it's altitude, just wach its feed for a few minutes to see if yours is also shaking like mine? I'm hoping the problem is on my end but I feel like I'm wandering in the dark here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bullet purveyor 85 Posted January 23, 2015 Must be something on your end. Camera is steady as a rock from 2000 meters for me. Both Greyhawk and Darter. Latest stable, no mods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R3vo 2652 Posted January 23, 2015 I just leave this here. I bothers me since the release and it's probably a really easy fix. Ticket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very stressful for your eyes. So it's a real issue. I'll link your made ticket here http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=22394 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easyeb 137 Posted January 23, 2015 St. Jimmy, thanks for your input. Sorry to hear you have the same problem. So now we have one person who does not experience the problem and two who does (me + St. Jimmy). I run on 3,5 GHz Intel Core i7 GTX 780M 4GB Win 7, 64-bit.

easyeb 137 Posted January 23, 2015 I wonder if this is related to the newly introduced G-Force camera shake? Is there any way to disable it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 272 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I wonder if this is related to the newly introduced G-Force camera shake? Is there any way to disable it? Good point because that's it! Camera shake can only be disabled from diffculty options. Disable it and it's gone. That's why some people see it and some don't.

easyeb 137 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Good, so it's gone? I can't check because I started the whole process of reinstalling everything so I have about 3 hours left of backup and then maybe one or two hours of installing everything again :) I really have to separate the work computer from the play computer :) https://s3.amazonaws.com/f.cl.ly/items/2H2u0s1m2x3Y2Z0f3P0q/computer-suicide-cannot-unsee-what-has-been-seen-eccbc87e4b5ce2fe28308fd9f2a7baf3-337.gif (756 kB) Edited January 23, 2015 by EasyEB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This can depend on server so it really needs to be fixed. There shouldn't be any shake no matter what difficulty is used. So it's a bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easyeb 137 Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks St. Jimmy. Yeah, I agree, but for the moment I will happily sacrifice camera shake for UAV cam stability :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spanishsurfer 58 Posted February 1, 2015 I'm trying to make a throughrough training video on how to use UAV/UGVs in ARMA 3. However, I still can't tell people what every function does when you right click on a waypoint and click "Type". so we have the following: MOVE DESTROY SEEK AND DESTROY HOLD SENTRY GUARD SUPPORT CYCLE Some are obvious but some aren't. MOVE <---ok easy DESTROY <--Easy, but how does this differ from SEEK AND DESTROY? SEEK AND DESTROY <--How does this differ from DESTROY? HOLD <--I think this is created to hold the drone at a certain waypoint if you have a ton of waypoints and don't want to redo. Am I right on this? SENTRY <--What does this do? GUARD <--Again, what does this do? SUPPORT <-- No idea CYCLE <-- Need help here... So anyone who KNOWS what all of those do please comment. Please, do NOT speculate...I just need raw info. BIS you need to address this....your field manual doesn't cover this, your wiki doesn't cover this and I can't find a single resource out there that explains these functions.

gibonez 18 Posted February 2, 2015 Really hope they further flesh out the UAV's. The tech is pretty amazing and functionality is amazing. They could do so many things with the tech including - man portable offensive drones with small warheads - TV guided missiles or bombs - Targeting pods on jets and helicopters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
