RushHour

What was the name of the weather engine they used now? Just wanted to visit the site and see what was really possible with it.

It´s not a moot point. Only if you miss-understand my question. To break it down a bit. We know two planes are coming, i asked for what examples people had for CAS planes. Not what planes we want the two to be. I wanted to know what was out there in terms of CAS planes.

Altis(Lemnos) Myrina Castle snow covered ;) http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3253/3126474829_45ee734a42.jpg (109 kB) Another one, And another one, F*ck it, i want this :) But only through the weather engine they use if possible.

Negative FPS in this state ;)

Yea i thought about that too but it says "the two CAS planes" so i would have to assume it´s two different ones, but from looking at the content they might just do that ;) Yea the sitrep was why i asked. Was curious what type of planes people would propose for the two sides in the game, since we have no idea what those two aircrafts are. F-18 is great yes,

So, does anyone have any examples of CAS planes that could be used for Blufor and Opfor sides?

It´s not just MP. Sure some servers are fine, some are bad but put a load of crap that you can´t even see on the map and it will be brought to it´s knees anyways. You would have thought going from dev to a stable version would be better, only thing i noticed was MP experience got worse. First time i´ve experienced that.

Afterburner is amazing, perfect for take-off in the short runways, i also love the extra options you have in the action menu! Absolutely brilliant aircraft guys, good job!

Instead of 45 boxes with different weapons or the mission designer spending 45 minutes loading out 8-10 guys all with different specs it´s a hell of a lot easier to put down one box and say "have at it boys". It´s still possible to decide what type of weapons each guy should have in game in order to maximize offense against enemies.

the problem is your arguments hold no weight. And in terms of internet forums being a simulation....I would not exclude life being one huge simulation. We just don´t know for a fact atm. Mathematics is a surprisingly good tool for the universe. What happens is weak arguments have no weight, no logics, no rational thinking behind it. Wow me, just once marcai... I dare you. Just one logical explanation would do, so far your friends have failed in every level. It´s not about semantics, it´s about realism and how to quantify it.

That´s comforting. Pretty sure your engine is using a couple of percent of the potential atm.

Definitely needs a military group imo. Guys that have all the high-end stuff to try and destroy a drug mafia etc. Police only can do so much but a military has the edge in every area.

It´s not semantics. It´s like saying a movie with some xxx material doesn´t matter what rating it gets. "Who cares if there are titties in the movie, let´s rate it minimum 8 years old, it´s just semantics...." It´s not. Neither sandbox or tactical shooter says anything about the realism factor. Counter Strike is a tactical shooter. And you´d have to be in lala-land to say they are in the same realism sector. All you need to do is research the history of Bohemia Interactive, and BI Simulations then connect the dots.

Blackshark is a flight simulator, Steelbeast is an armored vehicle centric combat simulation. None of them even comes close to include the magnitude of variety as Arma can. Not even close. Just as Arma probably won´t ever be as close in terms of that level of armored vehicle combat. So you see, you must not use logical and rational thinking when saying Arma series is not a simulator. Again people are focusing on the single aspect of how high the simulation levels are in each department, like airplanes, vehicles, damage simulation etc, You must understand that Arma with the spectrum of stuff they have, they will never be able to reach those levels in each area. That´s common sense. How much proof do you need? Both OFP and Arma 2 was branded by bi themselves as military simulations. Developers in livestreams have also said Arma 3 is a military simulator. It´s a business choice for not using the right word for the game when discussing it´s realism compared to other games like Battlefield 3. They are not in the same league, not even close.

Several people including myself have proposed this to both guys :) They have some separate things but their mods do overlap in areas, hence causing some issues for the end user unless one of them trumps the other guy and provides the whole package. But these two working together would be off the charts. Seriously, get skype, introduce yourself and be gods in the eyes of us hardcore freaks.

Oh it most certainly is. You need to deprive yourself of rational and logical thinking to come up with another conclusion. So far the most amazing argument against it has been, "it isn´t a simulator" or "VBS has a bigger island.." Stupid arguments. VBS has more features, that´s about it. It does not in any way detract from the fact that Arma series is a military simulator. And yes i have played countless of simulators, especially simracing. Just because the planes don´t have DCS level flight controls, the cars don´t have iRacing levels of simulation does NOT mean it´s not a military simulation. It´s not a flight simulator, it´s not a car simulator, it´s not a weather simulator, it´s a military simulator. In fact BI has dug themselves a huge hole with VBS. If they add features from VBS to Arma how would that affect VBS and the Bohemia Interactive Simulations company? Bad obviously. So there´s a catch 22 here and the logical approach for BI is to refrain from using the word simulator when they have a whole company with the name that uses the same engine, same Nvidia PhysX just way more features. Simple analogy: Arcade - COD, Need for Speed etc. Simcade - Battlefield 3, Project CARS, F1 2013, etc. Simulation - iRacing, DCS, Star Citizen, Arma Series, VBS, Train Simulator, Farmer Simulator you name it.

Ran DEV to always have the latest stuff but now i´ll stick to stable until the DEV stuff comes to the stable version. Unless jets come....definitely DEV :)

Useless. When BI start optimizing their own engine we will start to see the biggest fps increase with or without the latest drivers.

I´ve never seen firetrucks in that shape in my country. Only huge trucks or regular sedans for the Chief. I have seen Ambulance´s in that shape though in my country, they are heart-specialized cars. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3126/2748457844_16f6cf5df7.jpg (149 kB) Although in my country Ambulance are white, fire trucks are red so i guess you are right in that it´s a firetruck.

haha nice one :) It IS a military simulator and everyone that denies it must refrain from using logical thinking and compare petty crap to VBS that has no relation to what makes a game a simulation or not. If you don´t say it´s a simulation then you put it in the same folder as Battlefield 3, it´s just that simple. It is definitely a military simulator. Not a military training simulator like VBS but indeed a military simulator. Same engine, same PhysX, same same but different. This is why we need to keep pushing so that it remains a military simulator and not get dumbed down to BF3 levels.

I run 900 visibility and obj distance. No blur or eye candy, and ultra on all other settings. it makes no difference in FPS because of how poorly utilized the potential of the engine is. Standard and Ultra is about 1,5fps difference for me. It´s unnecessarily CPU heavy. If they could allocate more stuff on to the GPU everyone would experience a pretty huge boost in FPS. And online, what specs you have means nothing. You can have a deuce with electricity going through it and get the same FPS as a gaming computer. Bit weird.

Thanks for replying so in-depth to each and every question! This mod is getting better and better everytime, Love the ambulance :)

Anyone know why this happened? I have never played the server, was actually the first Altis MP server i tried to join and i got banned before i could select which side to start from. What could be the reason for this? I can´t imagine someone actively have banned me that quick so i´m wondering if maybe there´s something with my steam? I ran DEV build then noticed no servers were showing so i changed to regular BETA then back to DEV and servers started popping up. But i´m clueless as to why i was banned from a server i have never played or even could play in instantly. Any ideas? Server name, [DEV] [KNG]Killernetworkgaming - Altis Life V2 - Save - TSxxxxxxxx

Has anyone managed to take off from the grassport up in the northen region? (north west) I also noticed that the most extreme flap setting do not produce more lift then the first flap setting which is strange. Seems to me flap settings does nothing other then create drag. I can´t feel any difference in lift. Seems like the only thing that will be able to take off on those grassports are STOL cargo planes like A400M and C-17. Another odd bit is that it´s possible to land the aircraft at the airport even though you are coming in at much higher speeds then you would if you were to take off.
