4 IN 1 0 Posted February 27, 2007 i would love to switch off grass while terrain remain on high, but i dont think BI will do it, oh and the grass still blinding my view Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricM 0 Posted February 27, 2007 About the grass : it's in 1.04 already I think (lower settings get rid of it I think) About ability to change language, it's been enabled yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troop 0 Posted February 27, 2007 5104 - New: Grass flattened around soldiers, improving visibility. - 5115 - New: Terrain Detail now controls grass detail as well (can be used to turn off the grass) - 5130 - Fixed: Languages switching was disabled for some distributions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwisDoFly 0 Posted February 27, 2007 I'm not usually one to complain, but I don't think BIS is handling this pretty well. So right now we have the UK release at 1.04, the downloadable version from Sprocket which is 1.05 and us Ger/CZ are still 1.02! They should have either waited with 505 and just released it at 1.05 together with the patch, or patched us to 1.04 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zwobot 22 Posted February 27, 2007 5130 - Fixed: Languages switching was disabled for some distributions Huh? Does this mean language switching is disabled for all versions in 1.05 or what? I want to play my ArmA in different languages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

memnoch 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Me too. Well done BIS. Looking forward to a weekend of death and destruction. And then hopefully a quick game of ArmA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dudester 0 Posted February 27, 2007 5115 - New: Terrain Detail now controls grass detail as well (can be used to turn off the grass) Ok i'm not sure if i have got this right. So if i turn the terrain detail to very low, it will also switch some bushes off and other terrain details aswell as grass? If this is the case isn't it abit unfair to the players that have high terrain detail on. I mean, they might think they are sitting in a bush and concealed. When really that bush for me is switched off and i can see them. So does this mean we will all have to set terrain detail to very low, to make it a fair game for all.

Call911-AGE- 0 Posted February 27, 2007 OH MY Can see it now Harrier (AV8B) can now perform Short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL). It is controled with "Autohover ON/OFF" action. When activated, there is no such autopilot for slowdown that helicopters use. Thrust vector is just rotated downwards. Q/Z keys control only airplane speed. There are no keys for control over vertical thrust, so it is not possible to hover up/down like in helicopter. Takeoff procedure: - activate Autohover - extend full flaps (2x crtl+K) - gain some speed by holding Q for a short while and then release it. - once in the air, retract gear (crtl+G) - hold Q a little longer until you move fast enough - retract flaps as you build more speed (2x ctrl+L) - at aprox 180kmph toggle autohover off and control flight as regular aircraft Landing procedure: - reduce speed and altitude same way as during conventional landing - extend full flaps (2x crtl+K), drop gear (crtl+G) - hold Z to reduce speed - at aprox 180 kmph activate Autohover - pitch nose up to reduce speed, check speed, height and flight path vector indicated on HUD - hold Z for descent at aprox 2m/s - at touchdown toggle autohover off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm 9 Posted February 27, 2007 If this is the case isn't it abit unfair to the players that have high terrain detail on. I mean, they might think they are sitting in a bush and concealed. When really that bush for me is switched off and i can see them. Settings are overriden in MP serverside, just like they were in OFP Not only that, but only the low-laying grass (clutter) is spawned/despawned. All bushes are part of the terrain and should not (afaik) be able to be "switched off" (sure you can crush em, but thats not quite what we're talking about ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MamiyaOtaru 1 Posted February 28, 2007 Quote[/b] ]5128 - Fixed: AI now considers grass layer in the visibility calculations. Among the various nice improvements, this struck me as a very good one... Yeah, the AI taking grass into account is sweet.  Finally a purpose for it to be there other than blocking the player's view only Quote[/b] ]5128 - Fixed: Units created dead were partially alive. That one made me go  Zombie mod? Quote[/b] ]5133 - Fixed: Iron sight view no longer strictly tied to a weapon. Nice. I suppose that's the change highlighted in this thread.

Dudester 0 Posted February 28, 2007 I just hope it will make my game crash less often. I don't know how many millions of dollars I'm accountable for with all the gamecrashes while flying a chopper. Don't blame the game, blame your computer. but maybe i can help here. When you say your flying a Helicopter when the game crashes, to me that would point to your sound card or onboard sound. Somtimes the game depends on sounds that could cause a crash, or somtimes on graphic issues, its for you to determine this and when it happens. I say this because in ofp, a night time mission would cause me to crash to desktop (dark map=graphics card problem) or a certain sound from a launcher or gun would cause a crash (sound card= problem). Best way to determine if you are crashing by sound is, disable the sound and try again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatseeker 0 Posted February 28, 2007 Its unfortunate that they didnt have the time to improve this much before all the releases. Moto: "ArAs, a genre with a long future ahead!"
