Agreed that satchel should be at the bottom of the list. Other than that I've had no problems using the scroll menu. I'm pretty new to Arma (~50hrs between A2 & A3) but I actually think the action menu works very well apart from the issue with context-sensitive actions disappearing and moving the list around. Move explosives to the bottom and grey-out unavailable contextual actions like entering a full vehicle. I don't really get how people have problems with anything else. The menu is quick, simple, and doesn't interfere with your view or weapon function. That's exactly what I want in a UI element. No need to get fancy with it.

Are you sure you're not a Steam user? Judging by your posts you'd fit in just fine on their forums and gamehubs and whatever the heck they've got now.

Thanks. I was certified years ago but I've forgotten most of my dive training. I just remembered always floating vertically unless I was close to coral/silt, but I only did maybe 20 dives. I thought Tonci was saying there was something special about their gear that helped the weight distribution, but now I see I just misread it.

Do you know the name of the type of gear they use? I'm curious how it works. Maintaining depth is one thing, but floating horizontally when your lungs and vest are full of air does seem unnatural. Are weights placed in the BCD it self, kind of like those weighted training vests? Not trying to dispute your claim. I'm just curious. :)

Great work. This looks really good. My one complaint is that the current example, which I'm sure isn't "finished", looks a bit too detailed compared to other textures. Do something like blur it just slightly and I think it would be pretty darned close to perfect. EDIT: Of course I would have to play with it to tell for sure, that's just my first impression.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but has anything more come of this yet? Any feedback from Bohemia? I've been away from the forums a couple of months and was pretty sad to see my own name on the last page of posts. I hope this is still being looked at.

Actually I've seen this thread on a disturbing number of forums. As much as people try to claim otherwise, it's just masturbation 99% of the time. Some people might post something because they like it and would reccommend it to others, but most will post before they even receive a product and know if it's any good, because we've decided a person is measured in material goods and that the opinion of strangers should influence our sense of self worth.

The current jump is a great example of why I was asking for an "improved vault" over a jump. That just looks awful and there's no reason to use it over a vault-style animation except for people who want to hop around in the open. The effort is appreciated, and it's better than nothing, but I hope that BI lets us vault over low obstacles rather than hop like that.

Yeah, but it looks like butt and shatters immersion. Most people who see the first time think it's a bug. Both work, but I think the proposed method in this thread would make the game look a lot better.

Just like all the kids these days going for knife kills while a guy shoots up their team. :)

I'm so impressed with Alpha that it made me go back and try to play Arma 2 again. So far I've played >2 hours and just finished the first part of Harvest Red. AI kept running the wrong way and getting run over by a friendly vehicle, plus quite a few other issues, but Arma 3 is so fun that I keep going back for more abuse from 2 so I'm not such a FNG! :D

As I said "it appears to be impossible with modern weapons and highly unlikely even when it was". It sounds like we're saying basically the same thing? :confused: Well in that case I once jumped nude from the top of the Empire State Building, but I guess I could be mistaken. ;)

Make sure you don't have F-Lock on your keyboard, also go through and press you modifier keys (Alt, Fn) and make sure they are working properly. Some times a key can be stuck without the key being physically stuck down. Almost got me! I'll be happy when this day is over. :)

I also found that when I was double-checking for my post. I love the last slide.

Sounds like a good thing to me! Thanks for your help in making the game as good as it can be, and thanks to BIS for letting you. :)

If one person says another person's story is impossible I'm not sure what else that could mean other than "they are lying". That doesn't make it malicious or mean I'm upset. Sorry if I sounded mad or like I was singling you out by mentioning Mythbusters, I just assume that show is why people say it's impossible. I can't imagine many have tried it on their own. I tried to temper it by saying "maybe you don't realize". :)

The people who play with ACE will probably like it. Vanilla players might not. I say leave it as it is and let the player lower their weapon if they want. Hasn't bothered me having to do it manually.

Maybe you don't realize it, but you guys are calling Carlos Hathcock a liar based on a Mythbusters episode. Not only is that show more entertainment than science, but .Still voted no because it appears to be impossible with modern weapons and highly unlikely even when it was, but I'd believe Hathcock over forum warriors and reality TV hosts.

This is my big issue, too. If you buy bad games they will make bad games, period. People get really pissy when you try to explain that them being a shitty consumer is making your favorite hobby worse.

To put it bluntly: No. Check out a college network. Without mandatory antivirus and firewall use they can get pretty bogged down by traffic from infected computers. A computer with no protection, connected to a completely open network, can get a virus very quickly. I accidentally plugged a PC in to the wrong ethernet cable (not behind the school's firewall) when working tech support at college and the PC was infected in less than minute. Smart companies and schools won't let you on their network without up-to-date protection. Most viruses and vulnerabilities do infect some computers before being discovered. It might not be your computer, and they don't just go away because we know they exist. Here's an article from January about infected computers at two US power plants. Workers aren't keeping their home PCs protected properly & then they're bringing those infections in to work at a power plant. Up-to-date software caught the infection, but that didn't stop it from infecting PCs that weren't protected. Obviously the human brain is enough if properly utilized since most people are already protected by their router, OS, and ISP; but if someone's experienced enough to know this then they probably aren't asking gaming forums for recommendations. ;)

Thanks! I've been either prying the key off or disabling it almost as long as I've been gaming. I had no idea that wasn't necessary any more. I'm happier about that than I probably should be.

I really need to figure out how to watch a YT video with out adding to the view count. There are times I just don't want to click on a video out of principal. haha

That's hilarious! Of course they can't be too self righteous if they're running a BF3 server.

You're thinking of something like a Mil-Dot scope. Frost is talking about optics like the ACOG. The numbers next to those lines are range in units of 100 meters. At 400 meters the line next to the 4 should match up with the shoulder width of a human target and line up with the bullet's point of impact (notice how the spacing increases as you approach 700 and 800 meters).

Very nice. How do you bind the windows key to game controls? Is that a feature in newer Windows OSes that I'm not aware of or special to your keyboard? Wolf, I'm definitely going to check out using some ideas from your set up. I hate playing Twister on my keyboard when I'm trying to lean and move so I have both lean and toggle lean bound, but that's still not very convenient.
