BeachAV8R 0 Posted October 2, 2014 I wanted to add that 1.63 seems to make some units more aggressive and willing to use their weapons against aircraft, which ups the difficulty a bit. The BMPs for example will use their 30mm guns against aircraft now (in the past they wouldn't). Ya' don't say! LOL.. BeachAV8R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeachAV8R 0 Posted October 2, 2014 AAR from Mission - 04 - Tin Can Beware! Spoilers..! BeachAV8R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pexmo 1 Posted October 2, 2014 Amazing mod, best I have tried for arma 2/3 yet. Really nice to have something to fly around in while not in the mood for black shark :) Some questions: I am currently trying to see what the limitations are as to fly this as pilot only. Currently I have got to lock on just fine with missiles using radar and attack with the gun in both HMD mode and locked on modes. Where I am stuck at the moment is how to use the laser designator as the pilot to target a point that I lase with the laser. I can turn on the laser but not get it to create a designator target that I later can lock on to using te Remote option. Any guide on how to do this? Also when I go into the PNVS I just can not seem to be able to look around, what am I missing? I can look around fine with the HMD in feelook mode outside the zoomed in pnvs view but in there all is still.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can look around fine with the HMD in feelook mode outside the zoomed in pnvs view but in there all is still.... The laser designator for the pilot has to be used in HMD mode, but unlike the CPG's LDRF, the pilot's is linked to the gun aiming direction and it has to be selected like a weapon and 'fired' like a weapon. The IHADSS will display "LDRF" when it is selected and "ON" when actively designating, "OFF" when it's not. There's also no need to use the 'remote' option with missiles this way as it's still using self guidance. Currently PNVS is only linked to the view keys/numpad arrow keys and any head tracking devices, if enabled. To combine the PNVS with head tracking hardware, use the 'Head tracking On' function in the action menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeachAV8R 0 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) How do I manually adjust the gun range again? I think I did it in the tutorial mission..but now I've forgotten.. <g>\ Nevermind! Just found the "Toggle Gun Control" from the CP/G when the WPN page is active. All is fine.. <g> BeachAV8R Edited October 3, 2014 by BeachAV8R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be better for waypoints setup and situational awareness. You can already do this yourself; you only need to make the image and store the image file in the mission directory or an addon PBO. The image has to be ^2 but that's the only limitation. You can get the TSD to use the map with these lines: fza_ah64_mapsizearea = 5120; //size of map in meters fza_ah64_maplist = ["\fza_ah64_US\tex\mpd\notfound_2.paa"]; //path to map image, can be multiple maps AAR from Mission 07 - Hollow Anvil (Spoilers within!)Another awesome mission Franze and company..!

nodunit 397 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Congratulations on your victory, it was quite fun to read especially with your strat to use the allied AAA. Makes me feel a bit guilty for getting stuck and not pushing through hard enough. Glad to see that you enjoyed the whole pack and we hope to see you in A3 :) speaking of which.. Folks, do you want to see the apache in Arma 3 in the same state it is in Arma 2 with no glitches to its features? So do we! But we've hit a snag and its the same bug bear that has haunted us from the beginning of Arma 3 in multiplayer, if you are a coder, scripter, configurator, or a wizard, then you may be just what we need. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?184291-Animate-command-causing-MP-lag&p=2793926#post2793926 Edited October 13, 2014 by NodUnit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reconteam 19 Posted October 14, 2014 For some reason on some occasions my laser guided Hellfires repeatedly land a few meters short of the vehicle I am tracking with the laser. Is this a bug or have I forgotten to do something? This seems to happen in all Hellfire modes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fons 10 Posted October 14, 2014 Hello Franze and Nodunit. First of all i want to say congratulations for this awesome mod. Incredibly detailed and beautiful, with lot of work behind. With no doubt the best helicopter mod i've ever seen i armed assault. But there are two issues in the arma 3 port i would love to see fixed, because they are making difficult to our team the fact of making this helos the default attack heli. The first one is his insane sensitivity. Both cyclic and rotor pedals are insanely sensitive. Way to much reaction in this movements. I don't know what you devs think about that. And secondly, the fact that it is sometimes impossible to stop the heli when landed. Even if you do the smoothest and the most vertical land, when he touches ground, even total flat and horizontal ground, acts like if it were ice on the ground, with the consecuent unability of stopping it. I didn't tested the arma 2 version, so i don't know if this issues are because of the arma 3 port. I would love to read what you Franz and Nodunit think about this. So i am waiting for your answer. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These issues have been fixed with the introduction of rotorlib, the sensitivity was insane due to the COG being way off and friction values caused the sliding, the aircraft is also less likely to list now.
