    Linking ArmA 3 with DCS/Combat Helo/Steal Beast

    So far 3 people have answered no... Maybe because it's an expensive system and these people have zero interest in the aerial part of the game and thus would prefer to see the money invested elsewhere.
  2. Thanks but the winch script isn't mine, Murtoo did it. All I did was adding a few lines for the crew chief Ok, I'll send you the mission folder tonight, might aswell send a copy to murtoo but the script is tuned to your Jayhawk so I don't know if he will be interrested.
  3. Sorry for the late reply, I've been away for awhile First of all, congrats for this amazing bird ! I don't know if you're interrested but I took the liberty to slightly modify murtoo's script. I've added an option to just open the door and added a crew man so it looks like this : When you click "deploy basket" a crew member appears on the door : If you click "basket down" he switches to this position : Once the basket is inside the cabin he switches to this position : And this is the "default" position (when the door is closed) : I've tried to give the winch authority to the crew member (I thought it might be a good idea and enforce realism) but unfortunately it doesn't work. The action menu doesn't show up. I think it's due to the fact that the crew member is attached with the attachTo command...Maybe there's a way to bypass that but I have no idea how. I've also created a profile for the Nav light/strobe light script made by Combate Tático Brasil. Let me know if you're interrested and I'll send you the mission folder :)

A flying sausage Everybody knows sauser can't fly, or it's called a frisbee just joking :D On a more serious note, this might be a nice addon to port : Strobe light script DTxOZCw4kr0 ncl9M3pDdT4 It's using part of WarfX Blastcore, don't know if this might be a problem

    Want a T-Shirt? Yes, please!

    :butbut: Where are those boxers shorts I've asked for ? All I can see are some loosy T-shirts, what kind of has been people wears T-shirt anymore ? Oh well, I'll buy one and make a kilt out of it, close enough... (I had no idea how many disturbing pictures I'd find searching for scotish kilt topless in google...they really are naked under their skirts...)
  8. Hi Murtoo, I think your addon is conflicting with the Map : Editor Upgrade. Whenever I use them together this is what happen : (it spawns a cable right in the middle of the chopper, If I try to move the basket down the heli just becomes uncontrolable and crashes) I'm not 100% sure, cause the Map:EU files are in a folder with a lot of other files (all my maps actually). I don't have a lot of time right now, I'll do some more testing later and I'll let you know.

    Plane and Helicopter handling

    THIS this is something the ArmA serie definitely need to get rid of. oh lol, did I spoke that loud :o

    Plane and Helicopter handling

    I'm going to repeat what I've already repeated in the past, sorry :/ IMO, that's where ArmA should be heading to. Do not force people who don't want such a level of realism to spend hours and hours learning how to start up the damn plane, just make it optional. So everybody's happy :)

    Tax the 1%ers and banks to pay for austerity?

    Our "increasing mental sickness" may find expression in neurotic symptoms. These symptoms are conspicuous and extremely distressing. But "let us beware," says Dr. Fromm, "of defining mental hygiene as the prevention of symptoms. where there are symptoms there is conflict, and conflict always indicates that the forces of life which strive for integration and happiness are still fighting. The really hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted, still cherish the illusion of individuality, but in fact they have been to a great extent deindividualized. Their conformity is developing into something like uniformity. But "uniformity and freedom are incompatible(...) Brave New World Revisited, A. Huxley 1958 ;)

    Black Shark 2 Upgrade/Patch is out!

    I think the biggest problem for everyone is the MP compatibility. So one option could be to make 2 different patches. One, optional, with eye candy engine improvements (€20) and a second with MP compatibility. This one should be free or at a really small cost (say €5). I wouldn't be really happy with this method but I could live with it.

    Black Shark 2 Upgrade/Patch is out!

    While I agree with most of the comments here, you guys have to remember the first "real" DCS module was DCS:A10C. Black Shark was some sort of "proof of concept". They wanted to know if such a hi-fi sim would find its audience. If indeed we have to pay to upgrade every module everytime a new one is release I think it wont take long before the community shrinks dramaticaly. To me it seems unbelievable. It just doesn't fit at all with the serie/module concept.

    USA Politics Thread - *No gun debate*

    I just can't stand this kind of behaviour. No matter who he is, what he did, what he took, that's his business and that doesn't give to anyone any right to shoot a gas canister at him. I'm not saying it was intentional but the way you're trying to find argument that would legitimate this is just disgusting. Bringing his past up in the discussion does not add a new dimension to the story. It's completely irrelevant. This kind of attitude, always trying to make your "enemies" look like the worst scumbags on earth, is pathetic. A few weeks ago, here in Belgium, we had protesters from all over Europe. One greek girl was arrested and handcuffed. She was sitting on the ground and a cop came at her and punched her in the face. The next day that cop was suspended and the incident was investigated. No one tried to investigate the girl's past. No one came with "hey, 3 years ago she posted a video on Youtube saying the meat eaters were mass murderers" or "yeah, but she was anarchist and smoked a lot of pot" In my opinion, that's how it should be. On a completely different note I've been quite surprised by the decision of the USA to take their money back from the UNESCO because they didn't like the result of the vote about palestinians admission in the UNESCO. And then they want to teach other countries about democracy and freedom ? Yeah, right...

    My first impressions, not so good.

    lol, ArmA newcomers = "BIS, your game is too hard, nothing is explained to me, we need more tutorials ! It's too realistic !" ToH newcomers = "BIS, your game is too easy, everything is explained to me, we need less tutorials ! It's too arcadish !" :D Buying a BIS game is like buying a good wine. You don't buy it to enjoy it imediatly, you have to wait a little bit for it to develop its full potential. Thanks to the addon makers and BIS support in less then a year ToH will be ten times better. And you wont have to pay anything !

    Why is this game not more popular?

    (repeating myself but...) There isn't a single simulation that is more popular than its arcadish counter part. It's as simple as that. People don't like simulation. Simmers do :) I'm convinced the only way ArmA can become more popular is to make itself more appealing to the simmers crowd, not the arcadish FPS one ! Would you stop playing ArmA if it had an option to make the helicopter FM as realistic as DCS: Blackshark ? No, but the DCS players would certainly come and play with us. Would you stop playing ArmA if it had an option to make the airplane FM as realistic as Falcon 4 ? No, but the Falcon 4 players would certainly come and play with us. And so on. What I think the ArmA series indeed trully lack is visibility in the gaming market. There are many reasons for that (ads=$$$) but it's true that some potential arma players just don't play it because they've never heard of it !
  21. I just don't get it. Would you go on the DCS forums to say "hey guys, could you make your game a lil bit more accessible, doing so you could hit a broader audience." Maybe, and this might come as a big shock, they just don't want to hit a broader audience. Quick examples : - Britney Spears is hitting a way larger audience then Mozart. Does that mean Britney is a better artist than Mozart ? - McDonalds is known worldwide, they're delivering millions of lunch every day. El Bouli ( the best/finest restaurant in the world, according to critics) is almost unkown to the masses. Does this mean McDonalds stands higher on the gastronomy scale ? Fact is, if you want to touch a bigger audience you have to do like every one else. What you are selling should not surprise the buyer. It should be exactly what he was expecting. You have to erase anything that could be unfamiliar with your customers Real artists, cooks, directors,...are doing what they're doing for the love of it. They want to share something, even if they're putting the buyer/customer in some sort of uncomfortable/unexpected situation. There will always be people to support them, to enjoy this unfamiliar point of view. It's the same with video games. Simmers are somehow left on the side of the big video game party. So when someone is giving them a little bit attention they're really grateful. They're are ready to beta test a game for months, wait and wait some more before putting their hands on the final product. They forgive a lot and they support a lot. They are faithfull to "their" developers. So while ArmA isn't a very popular game, BIS know that if they keep the same formula they don't have to worry about sales. The game will find its audience. And I guess, I hope, they know if they go "mainstream" they will loose us, their community, without any guarantee that the "run & gun" crowd will like their game. In my opinion, the balance between realism and playability is just fine right know. For me the most important thing you have to remember when you play ArmA is "Adaptation". You have to adapt yourself. You have to play the game in a different manner than any other FPS because ArmA is different than any other FPS. In other games it's like that, in ArmA it's like this. Period
  22. So what ? It's an addon request thread. People are free to request what they want, be it a flying sausage or a Vietnam mod. If TOH is following the ArmA path, the game can be whatever you want it to be, that's what is so cool with BIS games. OT: Don't exactly know how far it goes in the vanilla game but some sort of coast guard mod would great. Basically this idea

    Grand Theft Auto V

    Things have changed since 2008. Back then consoles were still pretty competitive compared to computers. It's not the case anymore and the gap between consoles and pc's is going to be even greater in 1 year. Who would have thought Dice would choose computers as "their" platform for BF3 ? Maybe (finger crossed) they're going to follow the Dice's path and not restrict themself with consoles limitations.
