I use a Reaction Forces music track for an outro. The track is listed with 32 seconds length, but in reality it plays the full track of a couple of minutes. The problematic tracks are track 23-33 in the Arma music jukebox. Hopefully the true short tracks can be added or correctly configured. I use the Arma short music tracks a lot for short outros with a swooping camera. The Reaction Forces main theme is very cool! 🎸

Which track do you mean exactly? I just looked at the music config and everything looks correct to me. The only 32 second tracks are the "calm" jukebox tracks, which are supposed to be short and all correct as far as I can see.

I mean the ones after the "calm" tracks in the juke box. The first one is called "Reaction Forces OST - 01 Reaction Forces". This track (and at least the next 10 in the juke box) are incorrectly listed with 32 seconds length. I played them through Arma Editor -> Tools -> Utilities -> Jukebox.

Is this some mod interface stuff? I don't have that in 3den. In any case, the duration of those tracks is set correctly in config, example the one you've mentioned:

duration = 162.0;

/Edit: Funny, in the ingame config it actually is not. Will investigate what's going on.

I believe the Jukebox is a fairly standard 3den tool 🤔. Now that I look at my mod list I see: "3den Enhanced".  It is probably part of that one if you don't have it. 🙂

looks like that all the OST_##_RF titles inherit an inaccurate duration from OST_01_RF

Can also confirm this issue. I have encountered it while mission building a while back.

I did not think much of it back then.

[lexx 1363]

It's already fixed in our internal build.

Good day.

Since 5.56 mm AP already exists as part of the DLC can we also get LIM-85 to use that round? It would make it significantly more useful. Thanks.

Also I'm of the opinion that the general spawn distance for enemies around you is far too low. It seems to be about 2km, which is within the autocannon range of armoured vehicles. This makes it nearly impossible to scan from far away and snipe from behind a hill like a real attack heli would.

Yes, indeed it seems so. In most cases it's not that big of a problem (unless you're trying to land at a LZ in direct view, and spawn range, of another town), but in my second playthrough I was ordered to attack Athira from Koroni - leaving Ifestonia behind in enemy hands.

 

I knew there will be enemy force in Ifestonia, so I sniped them from a distance, returned to base to rearm, got back into AO... only to see another heavy vehicles in Ifestonia. They were literally spawning everytime I was closer than 2 kms to town, which meant that even ignoring the town, and going to Athira from different direction, meant that I was met with enemy fire from Ifestonia as I was circling over Athira. Even if I destroyed those forces, they would spawn again - so not only the spawn distance needs increasing, there needs to be some spawn cap/cooldown so mission is not continously spawning infinite AAF.

 

I tried to use help of the unmanned heli, but for some weird reason it wouldn't start and/or obey my orders - it just sat at the base, technically giving me support (EXP was paid, UAV was under my control), but doing nothing. It worked previously, so I think it's similiar problem to the one reported by someone else with Nighthawk - for some reason first use of those vehicles breaks ability to call subsequent support from them.
