1.07.5154 introduced erratic image flickering possibly caused by a bug in HDR rendering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-VeH5gMnk0

The simulation of eye iris in ArmA reminds more of a CCD chip in a video camera than a human eye. Looking for 10 seconds at the ground (brightness and gamma set at 1.0, ArmA 1.05.5143): [/img]http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/8853/54137746pe3.jpg[/img] Quickly looking into the sky. Human eye cannot see the sky overexposed like this: After a few secs the sky becomes normal: Looking at the ground again. Too dark compared to the first image - HDR is overdone in ArmA: Lastly, I think windscreens in ArmA reflect way too much light. Glass usually reflects about 10% of light and 90% passes through IRL.

It's true you can see lens flares around the Sun in third person view only. However, the CCD-like vision problem exists also in the first person view. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgqLqvMkLl8

Dunno if it is related but it seems that with an ordinary joystick (MS SW) I cannot assign actions to buttons 5,6,7,8. Moreover, when using the default action assigned to button 5 "Next", I can select only the second item in the action menu. Keyboard "]" is able to select all items.

Check that you are not running out of disk space. The updater says "checksum incorrect" instead of "no space left".

Well, if it works OK why fix it? The main plus of OOP model is inheritance and private data hiding, which is mostly useful in large projects only. For small projects OOP is usually overkill and introduces unnecessary bloat. If you have no use for inheritance and hiding, OOP is reduced to syntactic sugar, player.SetDir(180) vs setdir(player,180), plus the object overhead.

Most combat choppers and planes in RL can track a target in the form of radar, optical, or position lock. That lock is not a cadet thingy as you seem to think. You certainly can lock the TOW in Cobra in all modes. I wonder how you use the Stinger/Strela in vet mode if you think it has no lock?

Tank commanders get the score whereas pilots don't.

Right now there are several problems with gunners in MP: Sometimes the gun moves up or down in tanks without moving the mouse. Happens mostly when there are more players present in the vehicle. I remember this bug being reported a while ago. The target lock is not shared between commander/pilot and gunner. Both crew members should be able to operate on the same lock, not two independent versions of it. The commander/pilot of a vehicle is credited for the kills the gunner made. Makes no sense as it is gunners skills that matters most, esp. when attacking targets from a moving tank.

The presence of AA soldier in OFP does not mean certain death. In fact, AA soldiers are almost useless in OFP. Their success rate is hardly 20% if the target moves. It seems BIS made a decision not to include any countermeasures in planes and helis and that's why standard vehicles have no AA/SA missiles. Now you have addon vehicles with AAM/SAM but there is no effective protection against them. The missile just hits you without any warning.
