Next he'll be telling us the Harrier is released! crazy_o.gif

Many thanks, again. xmas_o.gif

No I won't be. The Harrier is too far way from completion to drop betas.

Santa did come after all.. yay.gif

You're not one of the cynics are you? You just have to believe! tounge2.gif

Awesome chopper.

FYI, GPMG seems to have no texture on the/a far resolution LOD ... its white.

Did you guys manage to tweak the collective ?

Seems to grab height well.

Its a dependancy bug. I'll be fixed in a later version I assume you didnt have the Lynx installed too?

Yeah its done with the envelope command.

I've just been all through the three versions in MLOD and nothing is missing. So unless binarising them is corrupting a LoD i dont know what to way? I'll look into it.

Myself and a friend also got that error in testing i'm afraid, just with the GPMG Puma. Whites out at a certain distance.

Otherwise excellent though: handles how i'd expect it to, a real bitch to turn at high speeds!

Yup I can confirm this as well. I meant to report this yesterday but I didn't know what to say. biggrin_o.gif

You see this is what i dont understand.  The GPMG Puma is the Unarmed Puma with guns pasted in...?  It must be something in the binarisation that screws up!

OK confirmed it. I'll track it down and post an update when i come back from France next week.

It'll definately be fixed in the next release.

I am having some HDR problem with puma interior, the exterior appears too bright.

Puma flies very very well, just like it's supposed to. Great vehicle for rapid insertions/pickups, especialy with all the flares it carries (it fires 50% more flares than Lynx - 6 at a time).

It's great fun flying in dropping flares and landing in hotzone.

Could you report the problems in the bugtracker (signature) and post along what graphic card you are using and what drivers?

Yeah Its a known issue related to the SMDI and shaders I believe.

What can I say?

Flying a big chopper like a Puma into a town, twin GPMG's blazing, popping flares, landing on the roof of a building and unloading a few crates of ammo for some infantry bods: It's quite an experience to finally have this in ArmA biggrin_o.gif

Models are excellent, textures are pretty damn good even though they're not finished in places, sounds are nice, flies excellently too. Good work for a 'beta' smile_o.gif. Same goes for Lynx but I don't think I should spam up both threads with generic praise.

Only additional bug I've experienced is that I get a faint rotor sound upon exiting the chopper at the start of a session even though the engines are off. IIRC there was a similar bug with Eric's Hind. I'll keep an eye out for other stuff when I do some more extensive testing of the cargo system.

I'm in love with the dynamic rotor system and the flight model.

I've been flying for hours just staring at the rotor.  biggrin_o.gif

It's like I'm flying the real thing now.

Awesome (and all the synonyms) !
