    These are some pretty cool ideas, however I think they have higher priorities right now, these would be more of a 'Would' feature. but this is something that might be added sometime after the game's release.

    Just trying to make my favourite game, that much better! :)

    I would probably say the solar eclipse ticket would be higher priority than my other tickets due to the fact it affects gameplay in a unique way but stays true to real life. By voting for these now, the devs can see people like them and then pencil them in for later in development or after release.

    Something that is a pretty high priority considering we are very close to the beta would be this ticket here: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=8468 for more realistic landings and crashes into water. You should check it out! :)

    I would like for Arma 3 to include the ability to add things like the aura borealis, meteor showers, rainbows, comets, lunar and solar eclipses that can affect light level and make a mission that much more awesome!

    Since some effects like the aura borealis are cause by the sun, things like solar flares could be added which have no visual indication but can knock out communication satellights indefinitely or temporarily and mess with electronics on earth depending on intensity. Link to feedback post for solar flare idea: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=8475

    More in depth on the solar and lunar eclipses adding to the gameplay:

    We could also use a simplified way to set the latitude and longitude of Stratis and Atlis for mission makers so that the sun, moon, and stars location in the sky can be easily changed.

    I felt that these 3 were separate enough to have there own feedback post but they can be merged if needed.

    Discuss in this forum post about implementation and use of these ideas. Things like this are obviously not game breaking if there not implemented but it would be nice to have at your disposal in missions.

    Just imagine that a solar eclipse occurs while your in a firefight. Suddenly its dark as night! Then a few minutes later it gets light out again.

    On a unrelated note, non lethal weapons should be added because realistically speaking you sometimes need to take people alive or subdue multiple people for internation or to kidnap them.

    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.

    Why don't we include a slider for movement translation? if you don't like 1:1 then try 1:2 or somewhere above, in between or below.

    I was just thinking about how helicopter and other aircraft when they are implemented should be able to allow the occupants to swim out while it sinks and survive in non-lethal crashes. Helicopters should roll over and then allow the occupants to swim out to safety as it sinks down to the sea floor. Currently you die pretty much instantly or are force out of the vehicle. I have created a ticket for my idea on how to allow helicopter to interact better with the new water we have in Arma 3.

    It's all sewn up. Sounds like really fishy practices here.

    I hope it does not impact in ANY way on the rift - otherwise I will be very annoyed with BIS.

    Looking into this situation shows that BIS has a dealings with natural point in the past but they added support for freetrack which shows they aren't locked in Naturalpoint's grip. Competition forces innovation and competitive prices, something head tracker seriously needs.

    Adding oculus rift support will finally force Natural point to have to upgrade there product and stay competitive rather than trying to avoid competition through shady practices.

    ---------- Post added at 16:36 ---------- Previous post was at 16:31 ----------

    Though I expect Natural Point to try and do everything in their power to to prevent Arma 3 from ever having oculus rift support, I just hope that the devs can see past what ever Natural Point offers them or claims they'll do.

    Track IR is first steps to future , Oculus Rift is shitty gimmick for rich people or dumb people. i myself am not rich but i can afford to buy Oculus Rift but i wont because its garbage virtual boy. why i waste my money on expensive monitor so i wont be able to enjoy it . Track IR now is very small and comfortable it mounts on headset and doesnt require your crazy dance moves like Kinect . also Track IR will be better and smaller in future will be integrated in headsets and monitors . and Oculus Rift is bad for your eyes , eyes has muscle if you noticed the closer you sit to monitor for long period of time your eye sight get worse same as reading books. with oculus rift your eyes will be demolished. and about TrackIR i found out only thanks to Arma for me TrackIR > Oculus Rift in every way. also if you get drunk you wont be able to use Oculus Rift

    We should encourage developers to begin using new technology like this. I bet you people Complained cars were useless gimmicks when they were invented and you could just use a horse. You don't have to use it, you can use track ir while others use the oculus rift. I would love to see good virtual reality in my lifetime. If the oculus rift does well, other companies will try the same which will lead to competition which intern gives the consumer better products.

    "No body stops you from riding you horse, they just want to drive there cars as well."

    In the future I see trackir tech and oculus rift tech being used together for full virtual reality.

    I was woundering if there is a way I could spawn in ammo crates into the game for me and friend to use as we enjoy the namalsk crysis campaign. We aren't really the best players and would like to use some pmc weapons and other guns in the campaign. I was looking at editing each of the 20 missions but that would be time consuming. Is there a way I could spawn ammo crates client side for me and my friend? I was thinking a simple script injector, but would,I get banned for using that on coop campaign?

    Update! Redid the rounds system to work on dedicated servers! Also implemented Virtual Ammobox System by Tonic!

    It is now safe to host on a dedicated server :) Tested, etc!

    Good idea, I will work on mission parameters on the next update!

    I have some ideas on how to make this mission a lot more fun and enjoyable. Hope you take the time to consider each of my ideas:

    -Weather and time should be full customizable.

    -Dyslexi's paper doll menu could also be modified to be used as a better more streamlined load out selection system.

    - A way to randomly switch teams in between rounds.

    -Spectator system for the dead that includes not being able to communicate with the living.

    -Increase in total number of players ingame as an option.

    -Different locations and/or radomized scenario selection or vote selection for different hostage scenarios.

    - A scenario idea would be to have a convoy were the terrorists are transporting hostages and the cops have to ambush or attack the convoy and rescue the terrorists.

    -Another scenario idea would be to have the terrorists try and get the hostages to an aircraft or boat to win. The cops would have to stop them from reaching the destination.

    -Way to properly breach doors.

    -Slight increase in airport map size.

    -Way to tie up and handcuff people. This could include duct taping their mouths so they can't speakand making them unable to move or very slow unless dragged by the terrorists. Hostages could break free if the terrorists ignore them but the process of breaking free is evident from the terrorists view and they could stop the hostage.

    -An acual radio that both cops and the terrorist have which could be used for negotiations and role play.

    -Have the helicopter fly in and land at the start and then take off and fly away at the end with the hostages and cops. It would fly once all hostages were aboard, cops could get on and ride while hostages were boarding.

    You should make the rescue location heli fly in and land then take off when the hostage and cops or just hostages get in. At the end of the round it should say something like "The hostage was rescued! Cops win!" and "The hostage was killed Terrorists win!" and when the terrorists are all dead it would less intrusively say "The terrorists are dead! Get the hostage to the heli!". When the cops kill the terrorist they should have to escort the former hostages to the helicopter which then flys away and fades out over the ocean to the next round.

    You also Need to make the transitions between rounds more smooth/ less annoying.

    ---------- Post added at 02:22 ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 ----------

    Some concept ideas include cops being able to tie up a captured terrorist after they are disarmed and then tortured into giving intel to the cops.

    You could experiment with bigger server sizes and different locations with different vehicles and weapons.

    Update - The mission is available for download!

    You are free to modify and host the mission to any extent as you wish - all I ask is that you keep my name in the mission intro and in the scripts (you can change the Teamspeak IP if you must), thanks :)

    Really need someone to host this 24/7 or I may have too!

    Flashing lights and siren need to be toggle able and it should wait for players rather than restarting again and again without stopping.

    I used to be in the same position as yourself and had the same dilemma when I started playing Cliffs of Dover...I took a guess at what I should do and got a Logitech G940 joystick instead of a TrackIR, which I got some months later...

    As soon as I got my TrackIR, I knew I had made the wrong choice in getting the joystick first. TrackIR adds SOOOOOOOOO MUCH immersion and awesomeness to any game that has headtracking enabled. Even compared to the free alternatives (FreeTrack, FaceTrackNoIR) TrackIR is a whole 'nother ball game of headtracking accuracy and responsiveness.

    My (imo, highly valuable, was-in-your-same-shoes) suggestion, get the TrackIR and just use a $17 Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick for now until you can get a real HOTAS and pedal setup.

    Which version of TrackIR should I get?
