    Of course Arma3 development is impacted by DayZ, but not so much to be worried. Rocket is the only person who leaves the team. I think he deserves to be released for his dream project. Of course we share some small resources (far far from fulltime), however in A3 project size and development times it's really nothing. This can change in future, well, I don't think it'll happen. A3 is going it's own way. And more we can gain from DayZ development even for Arma. Can't promise anything for DayZ. I can just say we won't go against each other. So, DayZ team is not recruiting people from A3 so far, just partly using some specialists. And vice versa.

    As far as I remember, the only thing that was up to debate was wether the TOH flightmodel will be standart during the campaign.

    Take On helicopter flighmodel WILL BE also in Arma3. Now I can safely confirm it will be also in campaing and it will be DEFAULT flightmodel for ALL the helicopters.

    Here you can see some small and larger bush, will the small ones will be visible from a distance?

    We didn't find a way how to draw such amount of bushes in the distance without killing a performance. It's especially annoying when using optics. We don't see a solution for this, unfortunatelly.

    1.Will there be underground structures?

    In queue, not started at all yet.

    2.How will small bushes be drawn in distance?

    Not sure if I understand. Do you mean clutter or the objects?

    4.Will there be small ditches next to the road? (like real life Lemnos)

    Not physical. Not sure about visual (tessellation), we are just testing this technology, there are more important issues so far.

    So the delayed alpha is pretty much confirmed.

    Unfortunatelly yes. There are several things together. PhysX3 is one of them. We are just evaluating how much we have to postpone the alpha. We don't want to release something unusable. I will announce our result during or right after E3.

    Another question i would like to ask is, will Arma 3 be a 64 bit application or a 32 bit?

    Welcome.

    32bit. We have already talked about 64bit, but this is not bottleneck, so we have postponed the conversion. We think it's smarter to speed up shaders, particles, make deferred lighting (should help the performance too) and so on.

    I refuse to argue anymore in this thread. I just wanted some answers. If anybody has those answers please post them.
    So my question is what do you think about the Optimization in Arma 3?

    It could be always better. It's always price:gain ratio.

    Do you think it will be improved?

    Yes.

    Do you think that we will still get these FPS's?

    Yes. "Unoptimized" usually means in extreme cases - very high visibility distance, big scale battles with lots of AIs and thousands of particles.

    Do you think the fluent movement will be improved?

    Yes.

    If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. Arma3 is not finished and lots of work (also in optimization) is waiting. Often it's a matter of compromise(s). We are unable to catch all the issues on every rig in the world. But we will keep trying. Alpha could help a lot.

    All vehicles uses Physx physics ,but anyway you never seen a tank flipping when gets masive arty on it?

    Well, PhysX is not ready yet. We have decided to move from PhysX 2 from VBS2 to PhysX 3, which requires more time than we thought. The result is PhysX in E3 is in the beginning again, however the goal should be much better including bigger potential for the future updates/features.

    Maybe we should make an ArmA 4 Confirmed Features thread then? :) In any case, I'm glad you guys are going for deferred shading, even if it'll never make it to ArmA 3.

    It's the same as the wishlist. Not important if community or BI. Deferred lighting could make it into a patch, DLC or addon. Nobody knows so far. Depends on many many things. But if Arma series will continue, there will be deferred lighting, not so far in the future. Again, not in Arma3 release, sadly.

  16. Posted

    but now that I think about it, he could also be saying that it's not coming to Arma3 at all. Hopefully Damu can clear this up? :)

    You're right.

    No info about this at the moment. Not scheduled actually. Alghough we would like to have it already, you know.

    You need to start your own kickstarter resource to be able to collect money for specific features. :)

    Yes. :) Kickstarter is bound to US only. Maybe we could do it our own way and start out own european kickstarter. :D Just kidding. You can see we are using 3rd part libraries more and more. Depends on its rules. And the Kickstarter is unfortunatelly not compatible.

    We are definitely going to use deferred lighting and shadows, however I have to confess we won't 99% make it into A3 release. This is not an easy task and there are more important issues. Unlike other features this is a huge engine change.

    Believe me we are the first in a line to get deferred stuff and various fixes and optimizations. Often it's a matter of compromise, but more often just about the resources we have. Support us (anyhow) and we will be allowed to do much more.

    Flight model used in TKOH will be available in Arma3. We don't know if it will be presented in campaign. We didn't even try it.

    There are two options:

    1) TKOH FM will be available, depending on controllability for the specific difficulty levels (maybe all of them???),

    2) TKOH FM will be available for modders, but disabled for campaign itself.

    The decision is waiting for our FM evaluation directly in A3.
