It seems that the default view distance on multiplayer is now 900 meters. But it runs smoother than older 600 meter viewdistance so it should not cause headache to older systems. Kegetys' suggestion sounds good though.

It also seems that the score list is still too short, showing only top-10 of the players. Why not make it have smaller font and show it in double column so you could see stats of 30+ players?

One fix I noticed in addition to previour ones: -Target identification (right-clicking) on enemy works again.

Looks perfect, Kege, as always. Maybe you'll release it soon pretty please? or was it the muzzle flash bug again stopping it? Anyway, if BIS doesn't make heavy machine gun to Soviets 3rd party addon crafters will.

I agree, paradrops from helicopters is ridiculous and fights against principles of chopper airmobility. Using parachutes in choppers is totally unrealistic. Is there any way to disable parachutes from players riding in choppers?

I've noticed the same problem while testing dedicated server option - the host will see that admin has logged in but the admin does not get any notification of this! And the mission selection doesn't work either with the admin's #missions command. Reportedly the dedicated multiplay behaves oddly in many ways too, others threads perhaps explain them in more detail...

It would help tracking down new bugs and checking that old fixes work...

OFP has tanks which work in their role as well as helicopters altought not accurately simulated, and also basic grunt combat. To me, OFP's center of attention is the entire modern warfare. Frankly I don't get your point why heavy machine guns should be excluded?

Is the Russian model that much different from the American? It's a heavy machinegun, not a vehicle or anything major.<span id='postcolor'> Well, if that's the case you probably don't mind Russians using M-16s since it's basically an assault rifle like AK-74? I find it very annoying that BIS still has refused to give Soviets a propter, realistic heavy machinegun after so many other tweaks and fixes. I don't need a 100th type of civilian car, but give realistic weapons at least! Here's the NVS 12.7x109mm heavy machine gun on ground support role, mounted on tripod: ...the tank mounted version, NSVT (T fo tank): M2 HB in comparison:

AK74 really should have a whole new sound, it fires smaller caliber (5.45mm) bullet than AK47 or RK62. Anyway RK62 and AK47 sound basically the same they have same cartridge, I've fired both in real life and heard no noticable difference.

Thumbs up for chieftain. Here's some excellent info and interior shots of the tank: http://www.kithobbyist.com/AFVInteriors/chief/chief1.html

Thats not RK95 (Valmet M62). That's M76. RK62 (M76) is already in OFP, check out UCE's Finnish Army addon at: http://kyllikki.cjb.net/ The pack includes Finnish M91 camo troopers as well as some retextured Finnish Army vehicles. RK76 in the pack is basically retextured AK47, but it's very well done with M16 style sights instead of AK47 sights etc. Oh and the M76 in the picture has folding stock and magazine shows to be NATO-standard, revealing an export version in 5.56mm caliber.

I agree. This is clearly a defect in OFP multiplayer. I hope the new multiplayer interface will improve the situation.

If you are told to do things that are totally suicidal or foolish, you can always argue with the group leader and do as you feel best. But in co-op missions the co-operation is essential as well as chain of command. Believe me, I've been playing too many missions where single disobeying immature players screw the entire missions by going rambo, killing hostages, firing too early and ruining an ambush etc. Needless to say, rest of the group was very angry and apalled by this kind of reckless behaviour. In OFP greatest pleasure comes from co-operation and teamwork and if one doesn't like it they should play single-player missions or some shoot-em-up CTFs or TDMs.

Let's not get too hyped until we see the final product...

Mig 17 'Fresco' or.... Mig 19 'Farmer' would fit nicely for Resistance Both are armed with three 30 mm cannons, with rockets or bomb on wings.

The only solution I have found is to use other sound addons that dont alter the config.cpp file. I suggest you get Wright's sound addon at: http://www.netitsoft.com/blake/Wright's%20Soundmod%20v9-2.zip I highly recommended, it also has much better rifle sounds that Satchels.

Just curious - can you use "iron sights" like the infantry weapons in vehicles? Somebody could model the sights of M2 machine gun, it's ridiculous that you can zoom with M2 mg since it has only iron sights.

Goes without saying, that is great news!
