    Analog steering works for devices --JS, pedals, flight yoke, steering wheel.

    --if keyboard ain't good.

    Its bit confusing and non intuitive to setup and I am aware indeed. Vehicles are perfectly driveable with keyboard only and driving with steering wheel or gemapad works just as good but my complaints are not the input, whether ist a keyboard or a steering wheel but the fact that driving feels unresponsive ( not insensitive ), gears & clutch is poorly simulated and there is little to no simulation of an traction on different surface ( a parameter surface traction has been added recently though so eager to see what comes out of it )

    Well, obviously it's strange driving a car with 4 buttons. There's nothing you can do about it.

    I am also avid fan of racing-simulators and one simply doesn't get far driving with a keyboard while changing gears at the same time. Once again I don't think anyone expects sim like driving in arma but there is no reason to pretend that the current driving model is some solid foundation for authentic driving model, at least and definitely not yet

    Hello,

    have the following problem:

    If I Arma 3 (online) about a half hour games disappear forever so a few textures and it lags extremely. Before that, I have no problems running everything on high settings with 40-50 FPS.

    I have a PowerColor Readeon R9 280X TurboDuo and a i5-4570 3:20 Ghz processor. I have no idea what it is

    I think you will need to be more specific and comprehensive about your issue with the game

    why cant we vote on evry thing com on man there is so much to be fix

    the rocks a buggy

    the cars are strange to drive

    The rocks can be buggy at times, but most of them are fine.

    No, they're not.

    Not, it's not.

    I am also doubtful you actually play the game...try to go prone on some rocks and tell us they aren't glitchy and as for vehicle NOT being strange to drive - well, they are and saying they are not only makes me assume you either don't have a driving licence or never driven a car before

    Actually would be nice to have a thread where people describe what addons they like and why. Alot of gems are simply buried by time on these forums and allowing people's choice mod userlist would bring some of them to surface.

    ACE for MP in which I can get many functions and theres a good chance many servers are also using it.

    Mainly I was trying to avoid mod vs mod or unwanted feedback discussion but I agree some here already mentioned mods that I wasn't familiar with or somehow slipped under

    Anyhow, can't wait for ACE also

    Who plays this without mods? (except if you really want to play on a particular server where they aren´t allowed)

    I play with mods whenever possible but as said some servers don't allow any ( not even a sound mod :( ) which is a shame

    Ace Mod - Arma 3. I loved the mechanics and attention to detail, sounds included in previous arma 2.

    I would love to see better damage & hit points models and realistic ( or at least reasonable ) vehicle physx & driving model. Of no less importance I'd say is weapon resting and especially

    walking in cargo space in moving vehicle class. At least some and more believable environment destruction and interaction ( ability to step on and climb on obstacles ) with the world. ( it can be sometimes dull as fuck )

    I would be inclined to say that the vast majority of arma players play with one or more addons on top of the vanilla Arma 3 to enhance their experience. Nonetheless, it would be interesting to see how many play vanilla arma without any mod enabled.

    Without going into specifics of any addons or a mod ( feedback should be left in the correct thread for each mod )

    If you play without addons ( vanilla Arma ) - can you tell us more about the choice of not using mods in general, eg; not knowing how to install mods or whether you experience performance issues?

    If you play with add ons - can you tell us more about what it is you're looking for in an add on ( eg; better helicopter simulation or simply more content )

    Good feedback Alwarren

    -

    Its hard to pick one when the whole lot needs to be looked at but I've picked the vehicle physx / simulation as I'm a vehicle whore like that and this is probably my biggest immersion breaker, followed by sounds and modding tools.

    As for modding tools, I think that should be also high on the list as I'm very doubtful the game is as popular or is even played for its vanilla features and-or content.

    I've suspected the lack of physical gears for some while and while we may have physx, vehicle handling and terrain interaction seem to pre-date this millenium and although the recent addition of traction parameter were welcome step forward, the overall advances in physx appear to be stand still.

    I just hope that just as it may be the case with medical mechanics, physx are yet to be taken seriously

    we can only hope for some audio improvement in that expansion ...

    BI will be shooting themselves in foot if they plan to fix the sounds until after expansion. If I were new to the series and heard the sounds in vanilla, getting an expansion as a first thing would probably not be on my mind.

    Unfortunately I feel this may as well be the case

    I still haven't figured out how to use the artillery in ACE lol but have not had bothered much anyways. Still, the joy of when you figure out in time how to use an important asset well IMO greatly outweighs learning a simple shortcut / or a key.

    That is / was what set sims apart of casual games.

    I don't even think its the complexity and the use of these assets that BI would have to worry about, as not to alienate any newcomers, as long as it is intuitive and makes sense. And yes, even complex things can be made intuitive and make sense. Unfortunately I wouldn't consider the ingame menu UI as one of them though

    I am not sure TBH, haven't had a proper read thru the DLC distribution decision yet but saying that, I'd rather pay for the DLC knowing the weapon resting is there, neatly implemented rather than just nod to a free DLC. Not to sound ungrateful or anything but I am happy to pay where its due kind of thing

    Summary: Although the 'Place' option will come up in shallow water, the items will just float unrealistically on the surface.

    I was able to touch the explosives off, but I can't think of any tactical situation where we'd want to place stuff on the surface anyway

    That's little lame but alright I guess the opportunities as to when we might use it are somewhat slim.

    Also nice smoke concealment test Spike, keep up the good work

    Ace medi system worked just fine and I would be happy to see something similar or even better in complexity in the vanilla.

    Simple Assumptions, but I feel that BI is hoping to get their hands on medi system brought in by modders participating in the announced contest and pick one that will fit the most. Could be the same case with bipods too but I guess we'll see

    Programming lead Dr. Hladík has deemed the current state of surface friction for vehicles not satisfactory, and thus added a new parameter for surface types that solves many issues

    Now this is where it gets interesting! Looking forward to testing this and actually provide some constructive feedback for once ;)

    Any ideas when will we able to test this on dev branch?

    Armor torque curves extrapolated to avoid switching to lower gears when driving fast

    Great update and seem to work much better now and I'd like to see this applied to all wheeled vehicles too.

    However, when loads of peak torque is required at the lowest gear, vehicles can struggle still and there are few other odd issues that you might already be aware of -

    As per the video, notice how the tracks are spinning under full engine power but sadly with no sound at all; 0:00 to 0:03 ( jsrs sound mod used but its the same in vanilla )

    ( which is good as the tracks should spin at such steep incline and not allow the vehicle to climb, however the ground contact with tracks remains too strong )

    Another issue is turning the wheeled vehicles. On flat surface when the vehicle is fully stopped in works well but as soon as the vehicle is moving just slightly it has issues turning smoothly and is

    most noticeable on inclines while holding the turn ( A or D ) keys, which results in cutting the engine input and very odd turning behaviour; starting at 0:19 to 0:38

    I also think that driving without the shift key pressed doesn't make sense anymore since IMO all vehicles from tracked to wheeled feel more natural with shift key constantly pressed down. Instead perhaps shift could be used to hold engines RPM at maximum but without the gears in interfering?

    Gravel roads provide less grip for wheels and cause lower speed

    By my observation I have not noticed any significant changes and are very minor in handling and speeds appear to be the same when I've tested on side roads but while there's no reason to noticeably slow vehicles on gravel roads IMO, the wheels still appear to have too much grip on every surface and the telling tail is that it takes nearly no effort to flip the civilian offroad on it roof. ( reach speeds of about 100Km hr and suddenly change direction by holding the turn left or right key ) The vehicle doesn't display any skidding around and goes to flip directly on its roof.
