and just how do you suggest we go about getting VBS? i mean i understand your recommendation but its not really a recommendation that anyone can follow...

compared to any other game out there global in arma3 is the best voice chat of whats out there... if someone is trolling its usually only 1-2 people... just mute them, it would be no different than muteing the global channel

...... itd be nice to SEE the normal fire first haha THEN we can work on making it "spread"

love the research you went into so far but i was not aware the sniper pack was released yet... how are you testing sniper physics in game?

accelerators are capable of this but i agree that external tracking is far more precise and quicker... the three rotational axis are the important ones for realism though... the ONLY one that i would actually end up using is a forward back axi in order to "look closer" at things such as in a cockpit or when trying to focus on something, its intuitive from that sense, i don't think the other 2 would be used near as much

inb4 lock; however i do agree, i think it is annoying that its now in alpha... i hope that it somehow dies off quick before it picks up steam because for the first time since DayZ got big i've finally been having FUN in ARMA since the alpha released, even though its only alpha and nowhere near complete its already much more fun just not having dayz nutz coming in and saying "wheres the zombies, are you enemy? don't point your gun at me or ill kill you...." its annoying in a SIM game, that is for SURE

FXAA makes sharper (sometimes bolder) lines but is MUCH LESS hardware intensive than SMAA.... i personally prefer the look of SMAA but its too much of a drain... always use AA if you can though

if going with that style key mapping, i would say "w+q" = slow "w+s" = normal (reset) and "w+e" = fast. this means while holding W and driving forward all you need do is tap the key you want to do, like shifting a gear

it is not very extreme, and i think the landscape may not be 3d yet but the GUN is 3d. pause the video at any moment and compare the same object... the gun on the left eye is closer to the right edge and the gun on the left eye is slightly shifted to the left slightly, creating an overlap that will give it depth, the trees and rest of the scenery however i was not able to distinguish different placements.... each gun also had a "halo" effect around it, the left eye on the left side and the right eye on the right side, so i think he might have possibly modified the gun file and had two separate renders for each eye

sure you may not be able to do a full 180, but is the OR not MORE realistic? in a flight sim, that is key to me. sure itd be nice to look through the back of my head from time to time, but i also sit in a swivel chair, so if need be its doable. point is, it ACCURATELY emulates the human head movement, even down to its flaws, like not being able to do a full 180.

seriously? you again prove you know nothing about the human body! earlier you said it will give you cancer, that was dumb enough, but now you claim reading books is bad for your eyes??? the worst that will happen from reading a book is temporary eye strain if lighting conditions are bad, NO PERMANENT damage has ever been associated to reading a book. stop coming up with random thoughts and posting them as facts, you just look childish. highways were no built for horses..... try driving your car on horse trails or horse parks... you COULD but people would be just as irritated with you as they would if you ride a hoarse on a highway... this is just stupid OR is a great design and there is no point in you fighting its support, it doesn't hurt you in any way, if you don't have one its not like your monitor is going to start forcing you look at your monitor in OR mode with 2 separate stereo views... if you don't want it don't buy it and don't use it. for others, maybe we want 3d gameplay in a VR setup where we control our characters heads more realistically... also, ChineseFood, if your so concerned about our health, since that seems to be most of what you try to prove the OR will do, try actually researching what could harm the human body... saying things like "Cancer" and "reading books will destroy your eyes" just has you making a fool of yourself.

proof? that is a pretty big accusation with nothing to back it up as far as i know of...

lol its just natural head movements gramps! just like taking a walk outside and looking at the trees to your side as you continue to walk straight

if not built in it sounds like your looking at a custom enough map/ game mod where getting a carrier mod shouldn't be an issue. either way you should have what you want eventually! good luck

arma 2 runs on DX9, arma3 is DX10/DX11 I believe, but it is NOT DX9

if your looking for a realistic sim with TEAMWORK then get arma without hesitation BUT if by "log in and sabotage everyone" you mean fuck up hard work people have put in to setting up a mission or team killing or ruining a stealth mission 30 minutes in for the lols this is NOT the game for you. if however by sabotage you really meant thwart the enemy's plans in battle and stop their assault then yes.

i don't see why not if you have both, just make sure you disable all the looking since OR does those.

there is no way to get it opperational in A3 yet, they only have a DX9 mod for it right now and i believe it may not even be stereo but mono display so it is not yet producing genuine 3D

STEAM is an flaming asshole for doing that.

thats fine, im not trying to say its for EVERYONE but it does offer some clear plusses... and again on the 1:1 of track IR, you have to glare out the side of your head to see if you turn, the advantage of OR is that the screen FOLLOWS your head, making 1:1 not only realistic, but natural and less strenuous on your eyes. trackIR works, but its no where near as realistic as OR's implementation of head-tracking is.

track IR falls in line with my point of why OR is great. they both add full head movement without taking up keys / axis, BUT in all honesty the OR does it better in theory because the screen moves with you, so it can be 1:1 head movement (read natural) and you can still look completely straight forward like you would in real life.

mmk so im going to straighten a few things our for you friend... 1. light is not a carcinogen, so you won't be getting cancer from looking too close to something. 2. does your head get tired looking around in real life? is it too much of a pain to turn your neck to look at someone or do you just turn you whole body straight necked and all? 3. you still use a mouse to turn your BODY with oculus rift. the headset does NOT turn your character but instead turns your head only. hold ALT and move your mouse in an arma game, THIS is what oculus does. you still have to use a keyboard and mouse to play 4. you will destroy anyone in 1v1 death match because it is more immersive, allows for MORE freedom of controls (looking around while moving in another direction allows for SCANNING of terrain instead of running by things blindly) you need to do some research because clearly you do not understand oculus rift, VR, cancer, how your body operates every minute your awake, and in general LIFE it seems.

shun me if you must but the last few days every time i try to play multiplayer, there are maybe 15 servers and if i join one its just a permanent black screen and I can't play... I assume im not the only one due to the small server population size. any word?

vsync limits to whatever your refresh rate of your monitor is and there is ZERO benefit to limiting FPS below your refresh rate so just use vsync

i mean the alpha did just come out, i think people are getting to mission scripting but not at a level where you can just find what your looking for yet, i think the missions your talking about are a stretch from realism, if you can accept missions where silence kills are allowed but "alarm triggers" = a fail then you should find plenty of those in the coming months. I personally enjoy the missions where kills are allowed because then its up to judgement .... (can i get away with this kill... will the body be found and an alarm triggered) those kinds of things make arma great.
