  1. Quote[/b] ]Include the features found in Virtual Battlefield.

    The tracers, the deployables, the 3D editors, the real world maps and the on the fly mission editing.

    That's what it will take for me.

    Then go and buy VBS 2 for 1802 $

    apart from demanding the same features from an expansion for 30 Euros.  goodnight.gif

    I did although not for the price you quote! I own both but find myself using VBS2 more often, especially since most addons and missions for ArmA are usable as well.


  2. Not sure if it is speed related by I have always seen the same thing. Hold left or fight, the nose will slowly point in that direction but you won't start move round and will return to the original heading once released. Just keep an eye on the compass strip at the top to confirm.


  3. I've seen "The Thing" bug a while ago and posted a thread on it but unfortunately didn't take any screenshots. I killed an OPFOR officer and when he fell to the ground he looked like that guy with the wierd hands but much worse. More like the thing frozen in the ice in the movie.

    "But I've known Lt. Jennings all my life. He's my friend!"

    "That wasn't Jennings. That was one of those things out there,trying to imitate him"

  4. What self sealing tanks? Gee how come i get shot once and all my fuel leaks out in game. Gurrr someone forgot the bars leaks in my fuel tank.

    Thinking about it logically for a second, unless the game assumes you are always being shot into the very bottom of the fuel tanks, shouldn't the fuel leak to a certain point i.e. where the hole(s) is and then stop leaking?


  5. I seem to remember someone here writing a script that would place a flag where the AI believed your position to be. I guess that you could use that to test your theory on satchel charges. Could whoever wrote this please take a bow and take credit where credit is due? notworthy.gif


  6. You would have to run Steam and then select the game you wish to play. But you do not need to be online to do this. There is an option in Steam to allow you to play offline, as long as you don't want online play obviously. I find it amazing the amount of FUD being passed around, even after years of the product being out there, with people stating that you have to be online to play Steam games and it just isn't true.


  7. The AI has had issues with using laser designators ever since it was introduced in operation flashpoint - and the issues persist today in Arma.

    Basically, you need a human designator and a human pilot smile_o.gif

    It works for me here well. What I had to do is promote the SF Recon to Lieutenant. As a Private it just wouldn't work. However with me as the SF Recon with an AI pilot it hardly ever works. Oddly this is the complete reverse of the situation in that other game we aren't supposed to talk about here.

    Dont group the laser guy with the aircraft and make sure both have a visual id on the targets.

    Consider speed vs view distance, if the jet is flying fast and visibility is low he will miss the target.

    Its not hard to figure this out... a forum search should have came up with results and this is more like a mission editing question.

    It doesn't matter whether you have him grouped or not. I can get it work either way. It's the other way round with AI as the pilot which is a bit haphazard. I don't believe its a mission editing question as it's the code that appears to be at fault at times, not how the mission is put together.


  8. On the topic of microphones.

    Can anyone recommend a good Bluetooth microphone for used with ArmA/VBS2? I have seen a good one on the Logitech site but it only appears to be available in the US at the moment. If you go to the UK site it isn't there. Amazon UK states a lead time of 4 to 6 weeks!

    Logitech US

    I wanted something like this rather than a bulky headset. Are there any others that might fit the bill of a similar construction/quality?
