Thanks.

With the newly added Fuel and repair trucks does anyone know how to configure the speed in which refueling or repairing takes place? by default the trucks are instantly refueling and repairing and I would like to add a delay on this.

Hi, I have been playing around with the repair and refuel trucks in arma 3 and I have noticed that refueling and repairing is something that happens instantly when you drive a broken vehicle next to the repair truck for example. It looks kind of strange having a vehicle that once had no front wheels suddenly bounce up and be magically repaired so wouldn't it be better if a delay could be added to these particular vehicles? for example every 20 seconds or so, 10% of the vehicle would be repaired or refueled.

Hi, I have noticed a pretty big bug in the latest dev build which prevents other players from seeing players uniform. If you disconnect from the server and reconnect the same player who was running around in his underwear now shows the correct clothing so it seems to be caused by some synchronization problem. There is a bug tracker posted for this issue. http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=13798

Hi, I am currently putting together our clans mission template for arma 3. The gear selection is working perfectly however to other players you appear be be running around in your underwear even though if you look down you can see your own uniform. If you reconnect to the server you then see the players uniform its as if the server is out of sync some how anyway, I have created a feedback tracker for this problem because I think that it is an issue with the game rather than my gear selection script but just to rule that out I thought I would post it here for people to run their eyes over to see if there is anything that could be causing this to happen. When a player spawns into the server I am running this in their initialization. null = [this] execVM "scripts\remove_gear.sqf"; this addEventHandler ["respawn", {_this exec "scripts\remove_gear.sqf"}]; Here is the code from remove_gear.sqf. _unit = _this select 0; sleep 1; removeallweapons _unit; removegoggles _unit; removeheadgear _unit; removevest _unit; removeuniform _unit; removeallassigneditems _unit; removebackpack _unit; _unit addweapon "ItemMap"; This is the code I have on my gearbox initialization. box = [this] execVM "scripts\gearbox.sqf"; Here is the code from gearbox.sqf. // Start Gear Box _gearBox = _this select 0; // Empty Gear Box ClearWeaponCargo _gearBox; ClearMagazineCargo _gearBox; //No Damage _gearBox allowdamage false; // Provide Kit Selections _gearBox addAction [ "Plt > PL","scripts\gear.sqf",("pl")]; _gearBox addAction [ "Forward Air Controller","scripts\gear.sqf",("fc")]; _gearBox addAction [ "Squad > SL/TL","scripts\gear.sqf",("sl")]; _gearBox addAction [ "Squad > Rifleman","scripts\gear.sqf",("r")]; _gearBox addAction [ "Squad > Grenadier","scripts\gear.sqf",("gr")]; _gearBox addAction [ "Squad > Asst.

Sadly this bug still remains in the full release.

Yeah its all good, thanks.

There is no ammo inside of the vehicle so you would need to add the ammo to the cargo what it does do is resupply vehicle ammo but again this happens instantly so like the fuel & repair truck it would be cool to add a delay onto this also. http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=14200

Maybe repair/refuel truck changes ---------- Post added at 17:25 ---------- Previous post was at 17:20 ---------- Repair/Refuel Truck Customization

Thanks seems to be working well.

Hi, Does anyone know if there are any NATO uniforms that don't allow items to be placed into them. Ideally I would like to just keep all of the ammo etc in the vest and backpack. Thanks

Hi, I am trying to equip the V_PlateCarrier1_cbr using _unit addvest "V_PlateCarrier1_cbr"; however its not working is there some game bug preventing my from equipping this item? I am running the latest dev build of the game.

Hey, I am trying to find the class name for the RPG-42 HE Missile. Looking through the classes on playwithsix I can see RPG32_F and RPG32_AA_F but I can't see the heat rounds. I have tried using RPG32_AA_F but it just appears as a blank item in my backpack. I can however see the RPG32_F but this isn't the heat round that I am after. I can find the heat round by adding ammo boxes but I would like to just add a single heat round into my kit selection script. Does anyone know the class name for the heat round?

thanks

I started playing ARMA 2 at the end of 2010 and I have been aware of the poor CPU utilization since then, with the release of ARMA 3 I was expecting many of the issues that plagued ARMA 2 to be fixed but they haven't and it doesn't matter how many times people reply with "dude its an ALPHA" I am willing to bet that the same issues will remain when the game switches to BETA and then even the full release. If BI were really aiming to fix the utilization issue then it would be on the known issues page but its not there for the problem will be ignored like it was in ARMA 2, what we need in more threads like this so people can talk about the issues with the game and make sure BI know its a primary problem. I fear that to many people just think that the issue will be resolved when the game goes into beta and final release but I get the impression that the problem is being swept under a rug, there must be some real limitations with the ARMA engine preventing BI from fixing the issue there for I expect 4-6 years down the line someone will be reading this thread because the utilization issue is still valid.

I am currently running the Landtex mod to make the textures look better, I really shouldn't need a mod to do this. Like with most things that come out of E3 recenty it looks like we have been served yet another misleading set of screenshots. I would also like to see better models also, being able to see the threading on clothing like battlefield 3 would be an improvement.

I wonder if BI are planning to release something to merge the content.

Try this, { if (side _x == east) then { _x unassignItem "NVGoggles"; _x removeItem "NVGoggles"; _x removeItemFromPrimaryWeapon "acc_pointer_IR"; _x addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_flashlight"; _x enableGunLights "forceon"; }; } foreach allunits; put it in a trigger in the middle of the map with a size of 4200 by 4200 with activation OPFOR present

I don't think there is a SLI profile for this game yet which is why there is no FPS gain. I have a i7 2700k overclocked to 4.5GHz every-time they release an update I check out the helicopter mission and so far I have only noticed a 2-4fps increase through patches and driver updates. I am running the game using ultra settings which is fine when I am running around its just when you go up high that the FPS drops down to a laggy state. I am using the following launch commands -cpuCount=8 -maxMem=8192 -exThreads=7 -skipintro -high -nosplash but I am not really noticing any difference with the performance.

You will still only get 25fps on the helicopter mission using the auto detect settings :)

I have a GTX 680 however on the helicopter mission when the smoke starts appearing my FPS drops down to 20-25, I have added -cpucount=4 to my launch options but I haven't really noticed any differences I was wondering if someone with a GTX 680 SLI setup would tell me how much FPS they are getting. I am using the auto detect settings in game to only option I have turned to low is PiP because my FPS is cars really does drop when the dust starts appearing.

Like the open poster I also play ARMA3 alone and I am having an hard time finding decent servers to join, most of the servers I join just have people running around the spawn points killing anyone that joins and if you don't get killed then everyone on the server is just at the base messing around. In the last week I have found maybe five decent servers to join.

My Specs Intel Core i7 2700K 4.5GHz MSI GTX 680 Lightning 16384 MB DDR3 Dual Channel Settings Resolution 1920x1080 Visibility 3800, 3900, 50 Antialiasing: 8x PPAA: FXAA Ultra ATOC: All trees + grass Postprocesses: Very high HDR: Standard AF: Ultra PIP: Low Dynamic Lights: Ultra I get around 50-60fps when I am running around on the ground but that helicopter mission kills me once smoke starts appearing I am at 15-25fps.

Lost count of the number of servers I have joined only to be killed by friendly fire right away.
