Helicopter camera

[Storm7 1]

basically there not going to fix it because they never do like falling into walls and dying or players sinking into the ground at distance and the head hitbox becomes the chest  or the 100 other ones they always make shit updates that no one likes like this one but they simply dont care

I seem alone here in saying the camera issue is bothersome but not huge game breaking.  And it'll be good to have fixed in hotfix if possible. 

 

Alls I'm getting is It's a little More awkward to land in 3rd person.  I really do wonder when you guys are saying it has ruined everything " I was great pilot before this camera change ".

I feel you breda. I love flying low but after this update, its so risky and lading sucks too. Even in 1st person lading feels different now.

Thread cleaned up, now try to stay on topic.

• Tweaked: Third person camera in helicopters was improved 

Plus an overall improved config control over 3rd person camera, all thanks to bxbx :)

extCameraParams[] = {multFactor, speedMin, speedMax, factorSpeeedMin, factorSpeeedMax, heightMin, heightMax, factorHeightMin, factorHeightMax};

factor == 0 -> camera follow horizon

factor == 1 - > camera follow vehicle heading

factor (0,1) interpolation between horizon and vehicle heading

Always a work of several people - including you, community - from feedback, gathering and processing it up to actually doing the code, testing it and releasing. So thanks! :)

I play 6 hours a day on the KOTH servers and the skies used to always have Blackfish VTOLs buzzing around, but since 1.70's new rigid 3rd-person camera view the skies are almost empty of them because nobody will spend hard-earned game-cash on something they can't fly.

@oukej Has given us an update. An update to the 3rd person camera in helicopters has been pushed to the dev-branch. They are also preparing a hotfix to push to the main branch.

Haha, wasn't even aware of this, wasn't that bad in the editor but if you fly in any heli for a while it gets me sea sick Imao. (no joke)

Yeah in jets in ain't a problem at all but in heli's, don't get me started...

I have no idea of scripting and things like that so, can i use this to fix my game (and how to do that) or have to wait for the update?

wait for the update. The problem is in the ARMA engine itself as explained in this thread some posts back

[yacobmate 2]

So to be clear is this fixed in Dev branch? I'm going to switch to dev branch to test now.

 

Edit: it's fixed in Dev branch, thanks!

Steam > RMB > Properties >  BETA > Second option (1. None 2. Dev...)
Steam will download files and then you can check camera on Arma 3 EDITOR ;)

Good job @oukej, we appreciate this.

Weird I just downloaded the dev branch this morning and still had the same headache machine

[RacerX 55]

you guys just know or for those that dont know. If you switch to dev branch then you can only play on multiplayer servers that are running the dev branch version otherwise when you goto your favorite server it will have a red "X" indicating you wont be able to join the server. I would advise you guys to backup your non-dev branch before you update to dev branch. in other words have 2 copys of ARMA on your hard drive. One release version and one dev version.Just for those that dont know or dont feel like downloading arma twice or have slow internet/bandwidth issues

Nice, thanks.

I wish it would work on the server I play. At least if I wanted to fly in sp right now I can. Glad to hear there is a working fix being tested.

Any word on the main build update.

Huge shout out to oukej for the acknollagement and getting the ball rolling.

Some updates are good some require feed back and more updates.
