Whats the status of this annoying known bug? http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=116 It was reported 2013-03-05 15:36 and has priority high, severity major and reproducibility always...

And it's possible to achieve when making a mission. I like the unrestricted canvas, let the mission designer choose what they see fit. The other points BL1P brought up are good ones. Agree.

Are there any differences between linux/win for an A3 server + the new HC regarding performance, functionality and stability?

Pfff, what do you know Dwarden..? Just being a BI developer hanging around for over a decade do not give you any credibility compared to a proffesional web surfer! ;)

They haven't ignored it. Dwarden did comment and we are waiting for a more indepth explanation from him. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?183119-Bohemia-Interactive-please-comment-on-whats-hindering-you-to-introduce-Ponds-to-Arma3&p=2783972&viewfull=1#post2783972

I stopped playing. Call me strange but I own a trackir and there is no way I'm playing without it as I'm used to it since armed assault. The problem though is I'm used to 100% free floating box since OFP (2001) and the combo with trackir is bugged in A3, so it feel so wrong and strange for me I just dont like playing. And as A3 is so much better I cant go back to A2. So I guess the upside is I have time for other things. Still read the forums as I follow the development and mods hoping to play some day when BIS has fixed that known bug. If I knew BIS will never fix that I could uninstall, stop reading and move on. Maybe I am strange but it annoys me so much I cant enjoy the game.

If you have 6 identical blufor groups and define two as opfor and 2 as independent you will never know who is fighting who until they open fire. edit: not saying the system cant/shouldnt be improved, just making sure you know some basic things that can create your illusion of random warfare. Most users are unaware that any unit or group can be fighting anyone regardless of visible side or faction without fancy scripting. With scripts nothing is impossible.

The wait is over :D http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?176926-DAC-V3-1-(Dynamic-AI-Creator)-released&highlight=DAC

It's very easy to achieve that. There is a choice in the editor if you want independent to be friendly to all, enemy to blufor or opfor or enemy to all. So : Blufor and Opfor fights, then you add independent groups and put them as unfriendly to all. If you want defined blufor or opfor units/groups to fight as independent put an independent groupleader to that group with probablitity 0. Voila.

When a helicopter is open you can also hear the rotor and engine better. I agree that the wind shouldn't drown the rotor/engine sound.

What's wrong with trying to understand you?

Agree, no other way to interpret that :p :) Seriously it will be very interesting to know. I have always liked when BIS explains about the engine, no matter if it's about features or limitations/problems.

The story part and how sides will react to each other are fully in the hands of the mission makers.

I have the same setup and agree regarding the sounds :)

Yes as I said, "in the mission editor or by editing the mission.sqm" ;)

You don't even need a custom config as you can change the side of units in the mission editor or by editing the mission.sqm.

I have never bumped a thread, but it's always a first. So here it goes. BIS, please.... http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=116

What he is asking if it's possible to have the units in one pack and the islands in another? The islands are already separated (thank you) but I agree it would be convenient to have all the units and compability in a separate download. That way we can play with only the islands and with the whole shabang without downloading the islands two times and have them in different modfolders. Today its SA or TP. As I have TP and would like to play with SA I have to DL the islands one more time, instead of just DL the units. And even when I have DLd SA I would like to have the choice of only use the islands. Is that possible today without duplicates? I guess I/we can put the islands manually in another modfolder of our own choosing so it's not a big deal for me personally. But for many users it would be more convenient with splitting the two completely and maybe even easier for you to maintaine? Just questions and no demands, if you understand what I'm trying to say :)

The trackIr + free floating zone bug, cant play with both. Fixed :)

Very good! In addition to this all our gaming rigs are different. Different soundcards, drivers and headphones/speakers. When I was working with MarkXIII on the HiFi mod I used 3 different setups to check the sounds. My rig with good head phones, my server with the same headphones and a laptop with and without different headphones. MarkXIII himself used loud speakers with a sub, not sure about Yokhanans setup. It was very obvious why discussions about sounds always pop up. I compare the sounds I hear ingame to what I hear in RL ( I do shoot and have shot different guns over the years), and the skill of the sound creator is to use a good base sound and then add what the microphones cant pick up and in a sensible way add the experience/feeling of shooting a gun. This is very tricky, and in a way hopeless as it will differ for people anyway. That's why MarkXIII came up with the modular system so people could pick what they liked as there is no definitive right or wrong sound.

I have seen quite green water in the Baltic sea, but yes you are right it's probably that green due to the camera. Regardles of color I personally do not think it's good to use the Baltic sea as a reference. It's so polluted and messed up that I dont want to see it ingame in addition to RL. Murky and darker I dont mind but please no hypertrophicated water..

That is shallow water. This video shows it a bit deeper:

mwnciboo, give mister hollywood expert a break :p ;)

No please no. Leave obvious hollywood effects out, or to an optional pbo. Black powder are not used in modern guns.....

Regarding crash sites: It's the bouncing that is the problem, maybe you can stop that with some setpos magic and apply your effects at the same time? Should work on dedicated and will not brake any missions.
