My small idea for adding immersion to game:

I have developement suggestion. It would look really awesome at night if gunpowder sparks comes out of barrels of guns and rifles. And shooting looks more realistic.

Check https://dev.arma3.com/post/spotrep-00058 "This update does not apply to the experimental Linux and Mac port betas at time of writing. We'll be updating those as soon as possible." Looks like we will get update. This is really good news. :)

Hi! This is mainly for developers and other people in Bohemia Interactive (like sales persons) if anyone from there are reading this. I have not heard much about ports. I can say this Arma 3 port is one of the best port for Linux. I will hope you will update ports soon to same stage as Windows version. I am waiting new Apex expansion, but I don't buy it if doesn't install to my computer. I can say I was Windows user for years, but I have not any means to install Windows anymore. I am complete Linux user at now. What I have tested Linux version it will work really well. You have one of the best Linux ports in your hands. So I don't see any reasons why not to make ports official and bring them same level as Windows version. Maybe you are doing much work for that, but I have not seen much talk about that in your news. I will understand some middleware will have some things to do, but BattleEye is already for Linux. I don't know what is situation about rotorlib. And can't say anything about OS X version. I will hope you bring soon official ports. Best regards!

I just bought ARK: Survival Evolved for they efforts bringing BattleEye for Linux. And maybe it's not bad game at all. I will try that. And at now it's for sale -33% on Steam.

This shouldn't be bad news: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/ark-survival-evolved-devs-throwing-money-at-battleye-for-linux-support-good-news-for-arma-3-too.6631 Are Bohemia people aware of this? Maybe there could be some kickstarter or other way to support bringing middleware for Linux (also rotorlib). I can spend few Euros for that.

I think linux support will come when someone is paying for it. In this case it will be Bohemia Interactive.

I will see: Configure->Video->Display->Vsync. It was enabled for default. I did change it to disabled. What graphics card you will use? Are you sure vsync is disabled from driver?

RotorLib is work of third-party like BattleEye. If ports will materialize, I think those 3rd-party companies will be asked to make ports for Linux and Mac. I think those 3rd-party companies will ask money for porting work and that's the reason why those features aren't ported yet, even if porting work isn't big deal. Bohemia Interactive hasn't promised yet ports will be official, but considering my own experience Linux version performance is really good, so I don't see any reason why they will not make these ports happen. Even stuttering is gone in Linux version which is problem in Windows. I tested this in openSUSE Tumbleweed with Kernel:stable (4.1.6) and Nvidia 352.30 drivers from 13.2 repository. i5-4670K and Nvidia 760.
