  1. No devs posting here does not mean that there is no progress being achieved. Devs have many times said that they are working hard to fix the issues. The last beta path was released less than 3 weeks ago........

    Really, I think some of you guys are too impatient. Things do not get fixed in a couple days nor in a couple weeks. Give a proper time lapse before judging others.


  2. I have the feeling that BI stuff themselves have deeper knowledge about their own engine than you. Plus adding a key for performing an action is not related to modifying the engine so some specific data is stored and handled somewhere else, together with the external data and configuration changes required.

    The key is how much time it would require to make that modification. If it takes 300 hours (including testing) then there will be tons of things more valuable to do.


  3. I hope they remove it nobody seems to like it.

    I like it. There is no realistic solution to this, so why not this one (and leave the flashing/obscuring screen for representing "pain")?


  4. It's been a while since I did any proper Java (as apposed to javascript), but I used to use Eclipse. Unfortuantely I have grown to hate Eclipse with a passion (I have used it for the last two years for Flex and Coldfusion development). I find it slow and buggy in the main - this could very well be down to the Flex plugins, but I seem to remember that it was always a bit temporamental - everything seemed to be a little 'tacked on' rather than integrated.

    Anyway, I thought I might try an blow some cobwebs off my Java knowledge over the festive period in preparation for ToH and ultimately Arma 3 integration.

    Any suggestions on a decent IDE for Java? I have heard good things about Intellij IDEA, but I haven't tried it.

    IntelliJ is my favorite. You have a free version with all basics included available:

  5. I made a quick test with arrowhead benchmark in 1.59 against this beta.

    1.59 -> 40fps

    84628 -> 37fps

    I tested the beta with both atoc = 7 and atoc = 0, obtaining similar results.

    Cannot say about which felt smoother, sorry, I have not played in a long time and could not establish a comparison.

    I have a radeon 6870, and a AMD quad 9850(2.5GHz), so probably the processor is the bottleneck in my case.

    I will do some more testing tonight, defragging the arma dir and deleting the config file (which I didn't do in this test).


  6. Hi,

    I would like to ask for some recommendations for a good joystick for playing ToH. I must say I little idea about joysticks, so any information is welcome. I guess it is possible to obtain joysticks that include pedals, but I would rather get something that fits on a table.

    - How many buttons/degrees of freedom should I look for?

    - What are the best brands?

    Thanks in advance.


  7. Hello,

    Can you explain what is maxframesahead=1 and GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1

    I put this in .cfg, but i stay aound 38 fps without visual change :(

    Thanks,

    Edit: a got ATI 4890 1Gb / last AMD driver without Catalyst control center.

    This has to do with how many frames are rendered ahead of keyboard and mouse input (probably someone else can give a better explanation). Some people had mouse lag when playing the game, so they added the option to set this parameter which helped a lot. The default value is 3. With 1 you should get less mouse lag, but maybe lower fps. Don't bother changing GPU_DetectedFramesAhead, that value is written by the engine to let you know which value is it actually using.
