  1. Are you sure VoIP is enabled on server (admins can disable it)?

    That said, there is some weirdness with VoIP, on this one server the admin insists that VoIP is enabled and I can hear other people use it and I can get it to work with my onboard Realtek ALC850 chip but not with my Creative X-Fi.

    It's maybe something ArmA-specific as I can record with Windows' own Sound Recorder just fine and I even tested it with OpenAL 1.1 SDK capture sample application which works as expected as well.


  2. Personally, I'm happy they've "announced" import/export script for 3ds max... (is that a plugin for max, or is it an import/export for the 3ds format tho?)

    It is pretty trivial to write one in MaxScript with BinStream, I've done MLOD importer (only vertex/face data though) in pure MaxScript, exporter would be even easier.

    Unfortunately I've just lost the script during these last few years.


  3. I guess there's always room for improvement but since focus of OFP/ArmA has always been more on infantry combat, I'd say flight model is pretty good after you redefine control mappings so that rudder and bank are not connected.

    Could you please explain how to do this, shorlty? Didn't find a documentation for that by now.

    Here you go:

    edit: That is for flying with mouse btw. But same idea applies to joystick, just clear "Links" and "Rechts"...


  4. So guys would you say that you are 100% happy with the current way of flying ? Would you not want a more controllable way of lying helo's?

  5. Finnish Rapid Deployment Forces soldier and BMP-2 from Armored Brigade take part in joint exercise in a forested area. Soldier is equipped with new M05 camouflage suit, M05 ballistic vest and M05 equipment vest and is carrying modernized version of Russian-manufactured PK machine gun.

    Stay tuned for more news when modding tools are released, same FDF time, same FDF channel.

  6. But sometimes I feel the effect too strong. For example, when a chopper is obstructed by small house, the sound is as much muffled as by hills or valleys. wink_o.gif Sound waves don't go straight ahead like light.

    It works that way on trees as well, it's great effect but sometimes it's bit funny that lone tree in middle of desert muffles sound when helicopter flies past it smile_o.gif


  7. It's as if the effects are not great first of all, but it's also too loud just for footsteps and not loud enough for gun fire.

    From videos of real life gun fire, there seems to be huge echo/reverb, but EAX with ArmA doesn't come anywhere near that sound. Now THAT would be immersive.

    I think there's some echo "baked" into sound samples themselves but not much. But if there's EAX echo, I agree on point that it should be a lot louder in guns.


  8. repost since other thread got locked:

    Since ArmA supports some of new fancier features of OpenAL like lowpass occlusion filters, why isn't reverb used?

    As it is, ArmA gun sounds sound bit "dry", and it would add to immersion a lot especially if it would be location dependent like having more reverb in cities and forests and less in desert.

    Or if there is supposed to be EAX reverb effects, they aren't working or very noticeable either on my motherboard integrated Realtek or Creative X-Fi.
