Well i m seraching the sensivity and the pitch of the joystick inside the CFG files of OPF *if u answer is outside OPF dont post*. Same for the pitch. Any idea to disable the Z-axis in OPF cfg ? And too since MPtest 1.60 i see some new options for planes in the very bottom of the commands menu, so what do it do ? Well anyone got some clue?

*this thread deserve a kick* In my opinion (which dont worth big since my only exp was in mil duty 10 yrsq ago), during night shooting excercise WE NEVER WAS BLINDED BY OUR FIRE...never. Even with Cal .50 MG on turret WE NEVER WAS. Nothing to say that the flash was so quick you can only see it briefly during daytime if you really checked. I wonder like other why we have SUCH UNREALISTIC thing in arma2 ? And still since arma (nothing to complain for ofp it was good).

1 ) a little trick to drive faster in vehicule: bind "order advance fast forward" to one key. bind "order advance slow forward" to another key. When you are out the road hit the both key and you drive a little faster, not much, but this will not change the kind of vehicule (car will not race a Humvee, and will slow down alot out the road) 2) trick for track ir user: get to ironsight, move the sight left/right and check view, you have a little more zoomed view without having to use goggle (even with M16).

good link, thank you...well this was the first time i tried vtol (just bought arma several day ago). ^^ That's just i forgot arma included it (since in opf no harrier were available).

Well i guess u all know this pb: When there's a debriefing in MP mission the windows show the "i m ready" to the left and "disconnect" to the right... But in the lobby windows the "Im ready" is in the right and héhéhéhé "disconnect" is in the left AT THE SAME PLACE where u would hit mouse in debriefing ===> this is a verryyyyyy long annoyance, and when i think of it i dunno why i didnt complain *nether do you fine reader*. The only thing to correct this is just to invert maybe *calculate* 3 chars in the config.bin into data.pbo and data3D.pbo ?

u forgot somtehing... When u are in an intense firefight and klicking alot your mouse, then the admin did a "wild reassign " without a warning: Did u know which button is by default in OPF ? I personnally think that OPF like all the modern FPS game should ask u to confirm if u want to quit a server while playing *instead of confirming two time u want to play (in lobby & in briefing)?

for the parachute.... did u ever heard of Geneva convention about act of war ? In fact irl it's forbidden to shoot at a pilot that ejected his plane. And if u do that IRL u can be court martialed . For the paratrooper, the case is different because it's not a search of safety, the paratrooper is not seeking it.Instead the convention mention it, the soldier can be assimilated as beeing carried by transport.So fire at will *but ingame it ll be very hard to implement it i think.

one thing that me and some of my clanmate have seen is the fact that with resistanct we cant no more lock-on the player-handed missile: the Carl gustav the Strela *thought as chopper pilot i can easily lock my TOW* ---> A clue for you: if u watch the config.bin of Res, and OPF... ALL THE MISSILE HAVE A RATIO TO HIT / RANGE: by example the Maverick has 90% (maximum available) at 800meter.... so if u launch it too close or too away u will have a very poor ratio to hit & then miss

strange that noone dare here to speak from the most CTF played around OPF server *thought i m not a fan of this map thinking it's just a hellish butchery*: CTF Stpierre *with or without fog* I m just a fan of night mission, i feel that the way OPF used the zooming gun (like G36 and all sniper is bad made.... too much precise even at long range). So in all night mission got the advantage u can really sneak *well there's friendly fire but that s the life guys*.

the same thing occur when u are in a jet *i tried with an A10*.... I u go outside the map the wind begin to slowly increase, to a very loud and annoying sound. Well i dont think it's due to breathe no ? Â For crackling sound... i just disabled my EAX and Hardware acceleration AND TOO MY MUSIC INGAME.... yes BIS heard that.... the soundtrack u use is maybe the worst audio codec i ever know *8 years i m doing personnally audio recording i think i know from what i speak*

Your main problem for Dune addon would be that: in the books the king of the field is a soldier that is able to do handfight better *remember the problems with shield and laser*: Dune is for hand to hand fighter, and thought OPF and BIS wont adaptate hand to hand becse it ll require a full modif of the game engine i dont think it ll be done.... maybe OPF2 or OPF3 *dreaming*

i know it's a very old post but i may add some wood to the fire *sorry the modos but i just found something that even avon lady FAQ didnt recommended* Since i installed Window XP, i got two bug that annoyed OPF community: the delay in the mouse the two cursor at launching OPF My specs: XP Celeron 800 100 gig HD in 6 drive (2 physic) 512 sdram Hercules geforce II gts mobo MSI6309Tpro v5.00 (via chipset) Soundblaster128PCI *soon change* sidewinder FFback II joy driver loaded: VIA 4in1 v1442 nvidia v40.41 ANSWER: I set through rivatuner the setting for VIAchip, enabled the multitexturing & i disabled the vsync, and set the prerender. And setting the XP mouse shadow off with a classic mice model. Well the pre-render limit can be set at 0, even if the FAQ wont recommend it, i got a very stable OPFr *tested with map filled with everything i could find... putting my CPU to the limits *.I got a strange crosshair, very sharp than the previous i got --->no lag input, no double mouse

Uploading to my personnal page *i didnt do anything with it so i wont care*.... Consider me as a mirror (as soon as u upgrade mail me or PM me i ll try UL it): file can be found there: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jawk/Battlesounds1.0.zip

humm does it or does it not *checking the sky* Wondering... dunno !

*TESTED* APPROVED... Worked very fine for me, in SP and MP: i only see one bug: When u use the ironsight of the G36 u can have sometime a bug that made your screen covering with reduced ironsight icons

same i trained alot for piloting chopper (nearly 2-3h each day during 4 month and i still continue)... i find some thing: First the majority of OPF gamer dunno the power of the cannon. Second the mouse is only useful for aiming with the chaingun of the V80 (this chopper got too much instability to have a line of fire straight enough to correct) *note: never use a joystick for a plane... or a paper plane *. Third in VS chopper the player only follow the other chopper instead of trying to have enough speed... they stand too much still (and it's fatal). Fourth i see mostly ppl that launch their FFAR in straight line... stupid a line of scatter fire is better against trooper. Fifth i only see ppl that are able to land quick... but they even dunno the basis for a barrel-roll evade manoeuvre, nor a (hmm dunno really if translation is correct for "attaque en décrochage" in french) discard-attack manoeuvre. Sixth i never see a chopper pilot ingame that ll use the ground/hill/forest/house as a cover.... personnally i did this thing when i know i ll encounter a chopper: i run at the lowest i can to have the most i can speed, and the better cover i could have. At 100 meter of my target i lift up in a right or left path giving all the power to cyclic (ie in OPF turn left right and rotate Yaxis at the reverse): i will go up very quick and be at a high altitude in few second.... AND BEHIND HIM *now it's time to look at your hairbrush, drink a coca... maybe fire a FFAR or two * Seventh The speediest is the better: when i m chased by a chopper behind me i ll go for  the ground: i ll gain more than him speed and then he can lost me (he ll find me in a two or tree barrel-roll and a couple of FFAR or a pretty  line of 30mm ) *tips to do a barrel roll it's easy just do like i do for engaging but instead u must give power to the cyclic (ie for OPF: just use the Zaxis left or right, u must turn up  and gain altitude while doing turn)*. *notice i found a hard maneuvre that u can do for turning speedier the Russian chopper...... pssst just do a full circle with your joystick (right/up/left/down/right: but u gain turn speed at the expense of stability in the out)... dont try it with OH58 or apache or V80... u ll reverse lol * i was searching doing some stunt with the chopper and found out this thing*) Eighth i rarely see chopper pilot that fire a "test fire".... just fire a little burst of one or two chaingun... u can know where u aim, just before firing all (a good pilot never run out of ammo) Ninth i very rarely see pilot that put their chaingun for use... enter the chopper as gunner... put the gun where u want he stay... get out and re-enter as pilot (remember the higher the aim is the speedier and the less acurate fire u will have.... the lower the aim point is, the low speed u ll have...the easy target u ll be).  Tenth *just forgot* BIND YOUR ALTITUDE KEY TO THE JOY *i personnally have scotched my rudder to dont be bother by it* That's all dismiss *and it's 10€ for the lesson ppl *

u can use some gun (and especially machinegun) to fire just at the beginning of a run (do some hop/stop and your accuracy will not be that bad) *expect an accuracy of 50meter max* that s all a tech to master it *and i m still bad at it* personnally i use the xm103 for that The only weapons in OPF as soldier that u can use efficiently when u are running are: the Grenade launcher the mounted-grenade launcher the mortar the hand grenade And YES OPF is not CS nor quake *i leave them alone* And NO IRL it's not possible to aim correctly while moving *or at best at a very very very very very short pace... famas + mortar+sniper speaking*

33 one of your 6 cat just jump on your knee (or keyboard depends) when u are playing and start to plant his claw into it *you are lucky if he dont aim the bollocks*... it arrive me frequently but i like my cats alot 34 shooting down a chopper with a AA to find out that the damn chopper will crash on you :/
