Wildlife & Civilians

[-ZG-BUZZARD 0]

Has anybody seen any civilian aircraft? I hope that besides a Cessna the civilians get something like the Bell 47, Bell 206 or civilian Huey or something... oh and a small transport plane like the DC-3 or something a little more modern... just a little...

I'm hoping for one of these! Tree hopping in the FSX demo in this thing is great fun!  

The other thing with regards to civilians, I know we can't have children but old people would be fun! You just need a different walking and running (or collapsing) anim for them! Those in GTA make me laugh!

Yea! Thanks Matt, I knew that and I have had a lot of fun with those Trikes by Sebastian Muller in OFP! I really meant for BIS to include one by default, but I'm happy to wait for a mod if not.

I never liked the looped sound effect with Sebastian's OFP Trike either and also there was the usual collision detection problem when landing. If you landed just under 55kts everything was fine but just over and you're dead!  

Hopefully these landing issues will be addressed in ArmA though.

Quote[/b] ]The ambient life which includes such things as seagulls, hawks, butterflies, dragonflies, mosquitoes, rabbits has its own AI and its own programmed behaviour which is appropriate to its species. Flies for example will be attracted to dead bodies, hawks will be solitary birds with predatory instincts, sheep will tend to herd together but run away randomly when startled.

Does that mean that we will get sheep after all?

Uhm, yes?

Well, if this is the case that means that the game will probably have a Mature rating in Montana.

And most South American countries where the love of sheep and llamas is a bit unnatural.

I can't wait to see the configurable parameters for ambient life. The most important question on my mind is whether there is a setting for ambient life to register as dangerous to AI (and if they can even attack units). JP would be great, but even something like a tiger for Thiland mods adding a bit of suspense in a jungle setting would be an awesome curve-ball thrown at a missions plan.

I already see you guys online with quotes like:

"Oh my god, you killed a pig, you think you could of found something bigger?"

"It changed colours, like the chameleon, it uses the jungle. --- You saying that Blain and Hawkins were killed by a f*cking lizard? That's a bullshit psyche job. There is 2 to 3 men out there at the most. F*cking lizard."

Here are some pics from VBS1 from Mr Reality

WE GOT MU**ER F**KING SNAKES !

-- sorry, couldnt resist.

p.s: do these snakes bite you in VBS1 ? - do you need a medic after being bitten ? -- that'd be funny

haha sweet stuff about the animals, just wonder if there will be cycle and any civilian boats and planes around in the default units setup? some kind of chopper would help to maybe for the police forces of the south sahrani.

"Flies for example will be attracted to dead bodies, hawks will be solitary birds with predatory instincts, sheep will tend to herd together but run away randomly when startled."

Thats all we needed for the mods to work other animals out. I'm 99% sure we dont have to worry about animals not being in the game.

Or the "Gerr'off my land!" mod, where you play the farmer tracking down the sheep-slaughtering trespassers with your double barrelled shotgun and trusty sheep dogs.
