From the brief experience I've had with the game so far (it barely runs at all on my current PC and I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of all the parts for a new one  ) I've mostly seen enemies drop like a limp sack of potatoes when they die, which I find pretty awesome to be honest, as it's pretty much exactly what real people look like when they get shot.That's probably one of the creepiest things I've ever posted here but there you go :I

You only get a speed bonus for around 10 seconds. After that, you retain the sprint animation but you run just as fast as someone who's jogging.

Triggs posted:Oh I'm not saying they can't, I'm saying there should be a huge drop in altitude and airspeed. As the game stands you can basically pitch and roll perfectly on a target 180 degrees behind you. On the other hand, Arma is one of the only games I know of that lets me land a helicopter after the engine is shot out.

I'm sure a lot of the people who were interested in Arma 3 lite keys already got one, but I've received some non Steam inventory based keys from a source who will remain unnamed. Feel free to take one for yourself or a friend. If you do, make sure you mark on the spreadsheet in the adjacent cell to the key that you've taken it.

Hey that manatee mission we did today was really fun. It had a good flow to it and the enemies were a decent level, and I had a surprisingly good time playing it semi seriously. It's a shame a lot of other missions at the moment seem either quite barebones or poorly balanced. I suppose given enough time we'll find some more gold.

The combat parts were really well set up; the pacing and positioning of all the firefights were great for a newbie like me to finally learn the ins and outs of Arma while still being challenging enough and fun.

^^^^You could try and set up a FreeTrack apparatus. http://www.free-track.net/english/Mederlock posted:The flight modelling that's in now will also be in the full game, but it will be tweaked and fixed. For example, the Little Birds in game have an awful damage model that is definitely going to get a lot harder. I'm pretty sure Dwarden mentioned that the Take on Helicoptors FM wasn't even a big priority to bring into the game, and may even come in a patch after launch at this point, but I can't find the post where he said that, so take it with a grain of salt. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?135549-Arma-3-amp-TOH&p=2166652&viewfull=1#post2166652 It is getting it, as is stated here by one of the Devs. I'm not sure I even like the notion that it'll be "default." And I'm a flight obsessive. Mederlock posted:Light and medium sized helicoptors can do that, fairly easily too, they just don't because of the inherent safety risk and regulations involved. The Red Bull Bo-105 needs an * behind its can do* statement. *It utilizes a rigid rotor blade system for added strength along with a few other things that Malibu doesn't want to part with. In general, though, it's a matter of keeping the G-loading positive. The guy's awesome nuts. He flips the BO-105 and rebuilds old AH-1 Cobras.

TrackIR is great in ARMA when you're in a vehicle. On foot it isn't so great.

Chortles posted:For further assistance, here and here are store-lookups at GameStop for a PlayStation Eye camera for PS3, which can be modified into an IR only camera for headtracking... or you could just use a Wii Remote and a USB Bluetooth receiver, since the Wii Remote apparently has an IR-only camera at the front end already. It's not that old. Got a source from DnA that's within the past six months, by chance? Edit: Nevermind, found it: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?146949-TOH-flight-model-if-when-how&p=2305558&viewfull=1#post2305558 Motherfucker, that was a huge selling point for me. At least, it sounds more like a technical issue than it does giving into the whining of nerds that can't figure out how change things in game options. It must deal with the other helicopter models, specifically the big rear end Mi-48 Kaman. Applying the Light airframe model from TKOH to the AH-9 would be easy enough.

Practical example: AI flies a helicopter (this uses the PX-based model), then a player takes over control (this would switch to RTD) and all physical forces need to be correctly transitioned.
|
Well, I can't drat them for trying, and with that kind of detail description, they must be trying their damnedest. I'm hoping they make it work, even if it comes down to just separating campaigns to compensate for the change of flight modeling between AI and Player. And, It's not like they haven't already greatly improved the game.

It's still not calibrated optimally and gives me motion sickness, but I can see how it would help you fly stuff once you get used to it. It's worth a shot if you have some wire and solder on hand. I'm using a Logitech C310 webcam with 3 layers of developed film negatives taped over the lens to filter out visible light.

Its not as bad as when you have the free floating gun cursor (without using tack ir that is, the mouse deadzone thing), but it reminds me of that. I didnt mind it for COOP, but I primarily play wasteland and dayz, and since I spend most of my time on foot I tend to not use track ir (I had it already for flight sims). I found it to put me at a disadvantage during some intense firefights, and having my view locked to the mouse movements worked better for me.

How is it like the dumb as poo poo free-aim mouse deadzone thing at all? I mean, if you want to make a comparison of what its like to something that's available with M+KB, compare it to free-look, where you press 'alt' on the keyboard and you can look around with the mouse when you hold it, since its the behaviour headtracking emulates anyways

human eye has the ability to pick up movement at almost a 180 degrees, the trackir* helps your ability to do that in game by constantly scanning left the right I have a 3 screen eyefinity setup, and can't play arma with the trackir* because it gives you too much to take in. So i just use one screen and the trackir*. My profile is super aggressive, but i have a very small deadzone in the center for aiming, but it climbs very quickly so i dont have to move my head very much. When your moving in formation, especially in a wedge formation or echelon its very handy for keeping your spacing or pace. But i have been using it for years in flight sims, i find playing any game where your peripheral vision is required the trackir* is essential. I remember using it for Richard Burns Rally and it being the difference between good driving and great driving. *trackir or substitutes.

Moving your mouse without using the ARMA deadzone means you are adjusting your camera with every mouse movement as well as every head movement, which is pretty counterintuitive if you have never used head tracking before.

I don't think TrackIR is that big a deal in infantry. I hate it when I'm in ironsights and my trackIR fucks up with my aiming. I'm trying to keep my aim focused down the sights and the slightest move will gently caress it up. I haven't spent a long time setting it up though. In helicopters and vehicles it can be useful. On its own just for ArmA, spending $150 isn't worth it IMO. If you play other sims, it can be pretty good.

Alright, some people may not know, but the two islands that Arma 3 will feature actually exist! They are two greek islands in the Aegean Sea located between mainland Greece and Turkey, Lemnos and Agios Efstratios, known ingame as Altis and Stratis respectively. The two islands have been renamed for Arma, after those two developers were jailed. Stratis With rugged terrain, expansive forests and a man-made airbase, Stratis offers a wealth of opportunities with which to wage war. Take to the skies in an attack helicopter, or fight on foot across this 20 km2, near-future battlefield. The choice is yours.  Google maps view of Stratis Wiki page The smaller of the two islands, it's population of 300 is mainly comprised of fishermen. Largely unpopulated the landscape is quite bare on hillsides with forests in the valleys to the north. In-game it's been altered to include the airbase in the north west section of the island Altis - The Island Formerly Known As Lemnos Clocking-in at 270 km2, Altis truly is the star of Arma 3. From expansive cities to rolling hills, from wind farms to solar farms, whether steamrolling your tank across the southern plains, or waging asymmetric warfare from the northern hills, the Altis landscape lends itself to some of the most detailed locales and varied engagements.  Google maps view of Lemnos/Altis Wiki page With a current population of around 16,500 people Lemnos is quite built up compared to Stratis, it has several towns scattered across the island with the largest based around the harbour in the west. The eastern half of the island is mostly farmland with a major airfield located in the middle. In world war I it was used as the staging area for the Gallipoli campaign, 50km to the East. It contains one of only two deserts in Europe. Edit: Have a mockup comparison of both islands. Ingame Stratis should be located to the south south west of Altis, they'll probably compress the real life distance by quite a bit if they are to exist in one world.
