I don't think buying a new video card and doing SLI do much difference, due to the fact that its most likely your CPU that is the limiting factor. Overclocking the cpu is most likely the most cost efficient and effective way to increase your fps in your case. Get a solid CPU cooler. Consider a closed circuit water cooler like the corsair h100i, its effective, easy and won't cost you are fortune in money and time. As for the overclocking part there is plenty of guides on the internet for any given processor.

A lot of people has a misconception that stereo headphones are not capable of true 3D audio positioning. If you don't believe me put on a pair of decent stereo headphones and watch .The way audio is done in games is briefly explained by this article: 3D game audio uses Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) algorithms to fake the effects of the pinnae, the head and various listening environments, so that injecting the sound straight into the ear canal can produce the impression of real 3D audio sources. The same process is still necessary when using 5.1/7.1 headphones. This is all theoretical though. If you have the possibility of borrowing a pair of surround sound headphones you could do a blind test to see which works the best for you.

I think you are entirely right on said point. But at the same time i think Zeus will make a great debugging tool for the AI. During the livestream it was very easy to spot the situations where the AI was weak and how they should have acted instead. Of course being aware of the problem is one thing, fixing it is the hard part :(

32 pages are by no means an indication of how many people would like to see females in arma. I mean half who have posted in this thread are arguing against females to some degree. If female soldiers/civs to "properly" implement in the game, there would already be mods that did so. Female civs would be nice, as it would open up for deeper story telling. But i don't by any means see it as necessary, especially if it means taking already sparse resources from other areas of the game. If you want to convince BI and the rest of the community, produce some solid arguments that convince us so.

Can we please stop making threads that goes along the lines of: "LOOK HOW BAD THIS IS!! BI sucks". No dev is going to read past the first page, with a title like this. I can tell that people care about the game, otherwise they would not be posting on these forums. It is just that they expect to get the attention of the dev's by berating their flight model and game. Its like a child acting up, and expecting their mother to apologize and ask whats wrong :mad: It is totally fair to say that planes should not behave as OP posted in the vid. And saying that Arma is not a flight sim wont change that.

This is how a female in arma 3 looks like with only the face replaced. http://s7.directupload.net/images/130903/8cyfty2e.jpg (683 kB) You would need to replace the body and a couple of faces for each faction. Record a entirely speechbank set for each faction featuring women, including pain and fatigue sounds. On top of that male animations might look kinda wierd on a woman, women do walk and move differently than men. Yeah i guess you are right, BI is just lazy :confused:

I am really stoked on the idea of a OPFOR carrier. I realize it would take a lot of time and energy to make. But if you decide to do so, the Kiev-class carrier would be a obvious choice. Having Cold War era carriers and planes would be epic and allow for some epic scenarios :cool:. Good luck with the project.

The solution to the ROF problems is not simply making them fire faster. The performance impact of a 2000-4000 RPM gun firing is quite big. What BI have already done is adding splash damage to the mini-gun to compensate for the missing fired rounds, its not a perfect solution but it is pretty good. For the AA a similar system cold be introduced.

Turn down particle effect settings

I would recommend everyone who is posting about moving in cargo to read this thread if you have not already done so: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?170227-AttachToWithMovement-Walkable-Vehicle-Interriors-and-Exterirors Chortles statement is correct in regards to the helicopter being the only vehicle that will stick to moving geometry by default. This can only be "fixed" by BI as it is hardcoded in the engine. But that does not necessarily mean that its not scriptable. In the linked thread there is proof of concept of such a script that attaches a soldier to a vehicle whilst at the same time allowing for movement. So far it has been demonstrated working on a ship and on top of a HMETT, with only a couple of minor issues. In regards to moving in cargo of a moving plane there unfortunately is a big issue. If a soldier goes above 100m above ground level he goes into a freefall animation.

It is nice to fast progress is being made. So far the map is looking amazing :) . I am really looking forward to see how the sanity system will work and how a low sanity will impact the player. I think it would be really cool if sanity influenced the nature of creatures that spawn around you. With a low sanity you might begin to see supernatural beings to emphasis that the player is becoming insane. The presence of some of these creatures should drain away sanity, forcing the player to run or link up with other players to regain sanity. Beyond that i really hope sound will play a big role in the sanity system. Hearing footsteps and other noises behind and around you will really build up tension if its done right. I am really looking forward to seeing how this mod will develop, especially the horror element. Also, does the text say "rape" at 8:12 in the vid?

I found a answer on the steam forums. Apparently they are fin stabilized and guided by GPS , meaning they will be more accurate over long distances. According to the poster its it has about 10 m spread compared to a unguided at 25 m, when the shell is fired 5 km away. http://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/2/864980734640404000/

I am by no means an experts on the game engine. Its most likely not a engine limitation in the sense that its not do able. Look at the light tower for example, it cast light far longer than vehicles or flashlights. I really think its down to performance. It would be reasonable to assume that the bigger the area you illuminate the more processing power would be required.

As far as i remember this was in the Beta, but it was deactivated for some reason. I believe it had something to do with BI not being satisfied with collisions of the doors in different states. For example you could not throw grenades into the Mohawk when the door was open.

I think a China inspired map would be great. The terrain could vary from dense jungle and mountainous areas to cultivated farmlands with rice fields and alike. In addition to that a conflict between NATO and China/ an east Asian alliance would fit the future theme of Arma 3 well and allow for a interesting new faction.
