    Hey guys,

    i'm currently reworking some of my oldest models for a release – but i'm stuck with a mesh problem. I'm getting weird "glass in glass" effects with my goggles. It seems to be a mesh problem but i'm not sure why this occurs and how to solve it.

    The issue is only visible in certain view angles. (Dark rectangle near the nose).

    I hope someone knows how to fix this bug!

    Is this supposed to be a nuke?  This results in a 100% kill radius of 1.6km for unarmored infantry... Just saying.

    Yeah I know. I have not started the balancing at all. I wanted to have the mortar work correctly first. Could be problematic with close distant firesupport :D

    You only have one firingmode, that is firing with 0.35x the muzzle velocity. So your min and max range will be significantly limited - The ballistic computer (both, the one from the optic that calculates your range, and the 'artillery cheat menu'  from actionmenu) can not calculate solutions for firing angles <= 45°. You need multiple firingmodes with different artillerycharges each to get a wider engagement range.

    Also, any artillery in Arma that makes use of the artillery system (using artilleryCharge, Dispersion, and option for ballistic computer) is forced by the game engine to use airfriction=0 (no matter what you set in the config).  So compared to RL, the rounds have much longer range for the same muzzle velocity. So achieving minimum range you would have to shoot at extremely low barrel elevation.

    I'll give it a shot as soon as I find the time. The barrel elevation does not matter for me. I created a virtual barrel in extension of the static one. The visual barrel can be moved to the sides but not up and down. I want to include a mortar reloading animation as soon as the mortar works and that would be kinda diffucult with different barrel angles.

    For mortar flipping issue, you can increase PhysX and GeoLOD mass.

    That sounds like it will work.

     

    Thanks a lot x3kj!

    Is it floating in objectbuilder too? Could have various reasons. My suggestion would be that the geometry LOD is not on the same level as the Vlods.

     

    I got similar results once in blender. I fixed it by snapping the cursor to Center and setting origin of every LOD to 3d Cursor.

    Hey guys and gals,

     

    I've been working on an 120mm mortar of the german armed forces (modified Soltam K6). And I got two problems I hope your guys can help me to fix.

     

    1. I can not get the mortar to have a firerange of min 450m to max 6350m. I tweaked around with the minelv and maxelv values but I only get strange results. Are these the right values at all?

     

    2. As soon as I change the elevation (in game) by pressing the page up or page down keys the mortar wobbles around through the backblast - sometimes it even flips. How can I fix that?

     

    Many thanks in advance.

    Hey guys,

     

    I created a model for a german DM-12 PARM off-route mine but I am not sure how to set it up correctly.

    The mine itself consists of two parts: a tripod with a tube and a fin stabilized rocket. The mine is placed along the roadside and is triggered via a pressure sensitive wire or a visual sensor.

     

    My problem is that the ArmA vanilla mines simply detonate and disappear. I want the tripod to stay were it is and the rocket to actually fly towards the target. So am I guessing right that it should be like an automated turret and not a mine? What has to be done? How should I continue?

     

    I'm glad for any advise since this is the first weapon I am creating.

    The eagle is looking really cool and hope I can cruise around in it soon. The only deficit I can see (hear) so far, is the sound of the FLW100. A mounted MG3 which does not sound like a MG3 at all – at least not from the inside of the vehicle.

    Keep it running :)

    Found that in a different thread:

    Hi. 

     

    Most likely you need to apply location and scale before exporting.

     

    Read the parts regarding "Apply Object transformations"

     

    https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Fade/Doc:2.6/Manual/3D_interaction/Transform_Control/Reset_Object_Transformations

    Go to Object Mode and reset:

     

    location of the selection (ALT G)

    scale of the selection (ALT S)

    rotation of the selection (ALT R)

    origin of the selection (ALT O)

     

    Works perfectly for me.

    Is there a known issue about Zeus not able to talk to players with TFAR Plugin 0.9.12 installed?

     

    We noticed that the virtual Zeus is no longer able to hear and speak to other players when flying in close distance. Also units captured by Zeus are can no longer be used for roleplay purposes.

     

    Can anyone confirm this?

    Hello out there,

     

    I got a problem with my first model for ArmA 3. It's a forage cap of the German Armed Forces. The cap is on the right position and moves with the head correctly – but you can see the cap if you wear it and it blocks your field of vision.

     

    I would like to know if there is a way to make the cap transparent or invisble for the player who's wearing it.

     

    Any help appreciated

    Great idea, i was always looking for a mod like this. I hope you find someone who can help you. Don't forget to add an option where you can select the unit (lower left) and higher formation (lower right).

     

    Yeah i thought about this. But im not sure how to realize this. Theoretically there are Battalions with three digits. May be possible by converting text to picture but right know im not sure how to do it.
