Cam51 0 Posted March 1, 2007 BIS, you have time to waste to add some minor graphic changes on some vehicles, but you can't find time to fix this major bug... You should probably understand more about how things work before you judge as this sharp. The people who could make the Ka50 cannon moving are different ones from those fixing minor graphical glitches. Moreover, making Ka50 would require significant effort, as having control over gun aiming while driving the vehicle is not supported at all in the vehicle structure as we have it now in ArmA. This is a cost we paid for having the control code much cleaner and turrets more flexible than in OFP. I was just wondering, does the new engine support a turret on a fixed wing aircraft now (Su34 gunner optics). The Ah1 has a rotatable optic view for gunner, is this possible on the Su34, or is it fixed forward only? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the infos on that Suma Also let me say that i really like the support the community gets from you guys lately, big thanks as this was something i really missed before ( comment aimed at the last year mainly ). Looking forward to 1.05 and im sure this will rock again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattxr 9 Posted March 1, 2007 There is a bug in the 1.04 version which I don't see in the fix list.This bug cause a manned chopper (by a player and full with players) to crash when flying over the sea and under ~500 meters of altitude. This is very true, it never happened in 1.02 but it happens all the time in 1.04 very annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just quite annoyed by the fact that the Russian attack chopper isn't useable for now Btw, here is an easy temporary fix :  throw us a Hind  PS: thx for your efforts and for your previous answer.

Maddmatt 1 Posted March 1, 2007 I was just quite annoyed by the fact that the Russian attack chopper isn't useable for now It's still good at attacking ground targets, it's just when it goes up against a chopper that has a seperate gunner who can aim the cannon. Maybe if the gun could automatically track locked targets it would solve the problem, not sure if it's realistic but it's not easy for a single pilot to fly and aim the cannon at the same time.

Balschoiw 0 Posted March 1, 2007 Just a quick question for someone who knows. Is setpos "UP" working again and do setpos getpos commands with height preference work aswell properly ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoz 0 Posted March 1, 2007 setunitpos "up" is working now with an added kneel (middle). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lwlooz 0 Posted March 1, 2007 Although it is already it is too late, I would like to ask again if "waypoints" includes a way of getting the current waypoint or if there is a new "GetCurrentWaypoint" command that just was forgotten in the log. I apologize fully if there already exists a method for checking the current waypoint as of now (which I cant see). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
