Yeah, i was concerned with that too. While watching the other, longer, vids you see the left arm and gun are almost static. Hope this has been sorted.

Lets not get off topic with FireFox, but i prefer IE. I'm not convinced with this trackIR gizmo, sorry. I like to keep my head still when playing, helps me concentrate. Â Rather than moving my head around the place, while rolling my eyes to keep the monitor in view. I know every one has explained as clearly as possible, but I'm not sold on the idea. Â BI should impliment it though, as long as you don't get peanalised for not using it.

..hmm. I see. Thanks for the info. But even though you move your head a little, you still need to keep your eyes glued to the monitor in front of you. The 3D glasses that have been mentioned look like the best solution, but if they hurt your head that cant be good! They must bugger up your eys something terrible! So, do i want to play ArmA for a few years, or keep my eye sight for the rest of my life...? tough one...

Maybe Wills team is being pulled out in preperation for the upcoming inevitable Israeli conflict...

Do you mean you can turn your back on your monitor? Â How does that work?

Why dont we call it ArmA2 from now on? Reason being Codemasters own Operation:Flashpoint and are working on the official OFP2. ArmA was originally a kind of OFP v 1.5 but now seems to have developed into a game of its own rights and there for should stand alone as ArmedAssault v 1. Game2 is, technically, an unofficial sequel to OFP by the original developers and is an advancement on ArmA which, as i said, is a stand alone game. Therefor Game2 could be refered to as ArmedAssault 2 cutting down confusion for Noobs...what do you think?

you move your head to the left or right slightly, so you are still able to look at the computer screen. You can also adjust the sensitivity of movement. I would love to have Track IR support in OFP, I can imagine moving my head as a foot soldier or helo pilot.... And the view changes. Track IR's large benefit is in instant situational awareness. I have used it alot in IL2, and in OFP it would be very useful when flying or on the ground. As we all know that sometimes we get tunnel vision when fighting as infantry. IE we only concentrate on our forward flank. Its a reminder to us all that the battlefield is 360 degrees. ...So you turn your head (just a little) and the image on your monitor adjusts to look at the required viewing angle, correct? But you still have to keep your eye on the monitor to see the image, even if you alter the settings. Â Meaning you'll bee looking out of the corner of your eyes while rotating your head, keeping your eyes locked on the screen..? It all sounds very unNatural to me. If there was some kind of Virtual Realitly eliment to it where the image is constantly infront of your field of view then yes, but this IRTrack sounds a bit of a potch to me. Â More haslte than it's worth. Sorry but; I dont care and wont be buying one.

...October 2006 'eh? That means they have a publisher... I'm not holding out too much hope that ArmA will be released this year at all to be honest. If they don't do it in October, they wont try and compette with what ever the X-Box or Playstation pull out of theire sleeves. If they really are planning such a thing, then surly the game is in a fit state for a demo to be released on magazine or downloaded...

I thought it was William Porter...

...you might be right. Looks like Eric Banner, one of the Delta guys. Well spoted.

You can find it still here: http://www.bistudio.cz/flashpoint2/ but it isn´t updated! lol just watched through the clip, theres a picture from BHD there  Wow isnt that copyrighted? idk... ...is there?  Where? What one?

I think the laser only works for the AI rather than for other players. Also, lets get back on track with the 'Latest updates' thing... Do we have any?

@westy159 Lets not turn this into Metal Gear Solid 3 @ofpforum Exactly.

When BIS gets a publisher.. Well, actually I think that will happen about a week before the release date. They want to keep the timeline as believeable as possible. Maybe, but i think it's more likely that the game will start before the war. With us doing all the training of the malitia etc. Then the US pull out, then the war begins. I don't think we'll see any combat in Porters Blog. It's just a scene setter. All the action will take place in game. Tereforl, the US will not pull out untill BIS get a publisher. @Stendac; Don't be daft. That's just silly.

Armed Assault is its name. Q3 release, so far.... ....BIS Woun't Fail Us. To be honest, I don't expect Armed Assault this side of Christmas. FSW:10 Hammers has just been released, so combat sim competition is too high at the moment, if the game was even ready. I expect the game H1 2007. ****NOTE: This is not official from BIS, just a guess from me.****

When BIS gets a publisher..

This is the "fixed cursor" thread, although it seems that the topic has run its course perhaps? D'oh! Â Quite right, sorry.:D

Lol im not even gonna ask how you even knew that site or found it... Any ways idk i like the old camo way better than the ACU LOL!!! ...actually i think i might get that one while ArmA is put back to Q5 2006

All very interesting. Ok, lets stay on topic. Now...where were we...? Oh yes..."Give us more screen shots and updates, Will! Show us the locals.

Interesting.

A few questions; 1- Do you need a monitor as well as this ir tracker? 2-Also, what happens when your in a tank? Â Does your head move inside or the whole gun/cannon? Â Also at what speed? Â The gun view moves slower than you neck, so would you have to compensate? 3-What would happen if you physically turn all the way around? Â Would the player model turn is head 360, like some kind of exorcist take off? 4-Finally; ArmA has a 'lean' feature, how does the IRtraker cope with that?

^^

So, where did these screens come from then? I've never seen them before...nice to see something new. Are they quite old? I see the shine on the top of the Humvee looks like the shine on the M1A1 we saw before...

Then why did you? "Oh sorry Officer, I didn't mean to murder this woman, but.." ...i didn't mean to kill him but he narked me off with childish, imature replies. Anyway, the general opinoin is "you can change the targetting system" hope that answers your question.
