Tonci87 163 Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Well Yes I´m not kidding Have a look here http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f11-off-topic-discussion/68108-vbs2-jcove-lite.html or if you speak German here: http://armed-assault.de/news/vbs2-jcove-lite.html Its only the light Version, so don´t expect too much. But we have the FLIR included that will be in OPA so its definately worth trying it out Moderator addition: This thread can only be used for discussion about JCOVE, it's features and models.

Takko 10 Posted February 3, 2010 Now I think people do not have to yell for the brits to come in Arrowhead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted February 3, 2010 I just wanted to check out the FLIR really (if its there). I played ArmA1 from day one so i dont need to check that. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted February 3, 2010 Is it possible for someone that downloaded it via torrent to share the torrent file (small one)? Im not sure how that stuff works but cant hurt asking. If someone has downed it via torrent then maybe he/she can share it. Just an idea - if even possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted February 3, 2010 AS I said its just a LITE version. Its only supposed for advertising. The UK military uses it to gain new recriuts, as the americans do with Americas Army. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Well, i'd trade visual quality for quality performance any day so that wont stop me from checking it out, it should atleast perform well. Other than that i dont expect it to be all that diferent from the first Armed Assault so its ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Take a look on VBS2 v1.3 ;) <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHfzsOADlfM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHfzsOADlfM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object> ...and VBS2 is not developed by BIS - it is developed by BIA. ...and VBS2 is not developed for entertainment. But we all hope and cross fingers that some of those features will find a way to Arma2 and OA. :mwah: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasonnoguchi 11 Posted February 3, 2010 Seriously, I don't get it, how is VBS different from ArmA? In fact, from the screenies, the interface looks like the one in ArmA1. Some one enlighten me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks50 0 Posted February 3, 2010 I just wanted to check out the FLIR really (if its there). Its there. (at least in the version I downloaded). Anyway, I think this should be in offtopic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we all hope and cross fingers that some of those features will find a way to Arma2 and OA. :mwah: Note that this video depicts features from VBS2 1.3 and other toolsets, so nearly nothing of what you see there is available in JCOVE Lite. Please only discuss JCOVE Lite here and not VBS2-only features. Moving. Edited February 3, 2010 by raedor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DenisRUS 10 Posted February 3, 2010 MMMMM.........Shooting from vehicles...Sweet dreams, sweet dreams... Downloading. Does anyone know is possible to play it on LAN? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogdanm 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Does anyone know how to set up the UAVs? There isn't any manual for the lite version... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-DirTyDeeDs--Ziggy- 0 Posted February 3, 2010 framerate is off the hook! I enjoy the real Samawah terrain/environment! CQB paradise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Well.. the idea is kind of cool and everything but the distribution and instalation seems a bit dodgy. The bad part is that VBS doesnt need or use dedicated servers and as such neither does this build (no server browser either).. also no custom content or editing tools other than missions (obvious reasons). So the value compared to Arma or Arma 2 is rather low, even if its free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pathy 0 Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Very interesting to see this happen. Glad they made it free. Nice to see the UK content being made widely available too. ;) Edit: Don't forget, the Chally2, landrovers and weapons are already in ArmA2, and more to come.

HotShot 0 Posted February 3, 2010 The website did indeed appear suspect, but if its legit Wolle, than downloading! The Australian MOD did something similiar for VBS1, Australians in Vietnam. Also I'm not sure if it ever got released by I think they were at least going to give recruits VBS1 Lite as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogdanm 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Documentation:http://www.jcove-lite.co.uk/index.php?pageid=documentation Planck Thanks. Unfortunately the UAV is not very useful without certain the VBS2 features. Seeing the FLIR in action got me excited about OA. I also love the object draw distance feature. This free version really has a lot to offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
