Helmet Mounted Displays MOD

[littleturn 1]

UPDATE v1.1 available!!!!!!!!!!

-Littlebirds now have Flares (forgot to mention that in v1.0 :-p)

So if I'm using this client-side only I only get the HUD updates. But if the server also runs it, littlebirds get flares?

That's an affirm

Finally took some time to check this out, and while I fly the Ghost Hawk VFR mostly, I do have to say that its actually quite nice. My only recommendation however is to make the velocity vector maybe 50 to 75% smaller, as it's kinda big. I know we can go with things such as "right up in the face" etc. but it's a bit big.

Thanks, I'm glad u like it. Once I get some time after polishing the HAFM helos, I'll get back to it.

Can we get Helmet Mounted Sight,fire and forget weapons too?

You mean slaving the turrets to the helmet? Not gonna happen sorry.

And fire and forget weapons? almost every lockable weapon in arma is IR guided, thus being fire and forget.

Illl take a look at those errors.

Heres a little sneak preview for some LOBL and LOAL that we'll integrate into it.

UPDATE v1.2 AVAILABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y9qi4w7kuh4u850/AACmoE2h6wF6Bg0Lmgpr7oX9a

Version 1.2:

- Changed how the Total velocity vector works and reduced it's size.

- Reduced the size of the waterline mark (the pitch ladder is ultra sensitive so to have the W somewhat over the 0º dash is steady enough for a hover)

- Changed the optics of the turrets in AH-99 and WY-55, and how they work, see for yourselves

- Added "radar" contacts / laser contacts markers on the HMD for the Comanche (like those lil green boxes that show over targets on John Spartan's F/A-18).

- More minor tweaks to Stuff.

Persistent issues on v1.2:

- Gunners on gunshps cannot see the HMD unless they take controls.

- The altitude AGL number and scale show +2m error, this is a problem even in the vanilla choppers.

Just tried it out man, nice work!

Hosted dedicated server. Keys are installed. Keep getting kicked when we try to join with this mod active (client side). Is the key enough or must we add the @mod folder to our server startup string?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnak8s9ge1cgdvu/kimi_hud.png here's proof its all in the right place

Players who join without the mod report that players who join with are being kicked for incorrect key (wrong signature for file).

Ok, this is bad news. Have you tried loading the mod in the server? I tell you cause i added some more stuff into it in the last update that might not make it clientside only. If this doesn't work, I'll remove the not-so-clientside features from it (lil bird with flares, armed hellcat with laser designator, bla bla).

[EricJ 724]

Yeah I went on UK-FRG's server and the only issue i had was high ping, but that was it, the mod activated fine without any issues that I was aware of.

[robowilso 40]

I've used this mod several times myself on dedicated servers as a client-side tool and as EricJ stated above; I had no issues with it either.

UPDATE 1.2.88!!!

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y9qi4w7kuh4u850/AACmoE2h6wF6Bg0Lmgpr7oX9a

Hotfix 1.2.88 changelog:

- Removed flares from lil birds and laser designator from armed WY-55.

[lawndartleo 109]

Loading up fresh mod and key to server, loading up fresh mod to my client. Testing shortly. Will report result.

[EricJ 724]

Also could you do the same (make the "W" smaller) on the Blackfoot? But otherwise its a great help to flying even though I still flew VFR, nice work still :)

[Teddybear1 11]

Any chance we could get a system that can take a picture from inside a monocle sight attached to the pilots`helmets and transfer the picture to a Commander`s Tablet? Like an F-4 fly over ,taking pictures for BDA?

Cool!

Maybe,it could be possible to remove the front/instruments panel to see clearly,when taking pictures?:j:

Or make a Pod with a camera that stay fixed on one spot,taking advantage of code from the Drone Section of SitRep.

Be sure to check to the turret on the blackfoot and hellcats works ;)

And don't forget the radar boxes that show up over targets like this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=295071967

Well, this script might work for that then: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?179309-Release-Script-TGP-Targeting-Pod-for-Air-Vehicles

No joy... mod active, kicked. Inactive, fine.

Yeah I saw the radar boxes when I was doing some practice in the editor, but haven't checked the turrets, will do though.

[lawndartleo 109]

Uploaded new mod and key to hosted/dedicated... active @mod = kicked.

Uploaded mod to my dedicated box next to me here... active @mod (and it is the ONLY mod active)... No sig check, no problem... sig check enabled = kicked (log reports wrong signature file for the mod).

In both cases, kimi_bolso.bikey resides in /keys.

I made a new key (again). It's the same link but i changed what's inside of that dropbox.

If the problem persists could u please continue via PM?

PM'ing

Thanks for the help Kimi... we'll get this sorted.

To the rest of you NOT having problems I have some questions

1) Are you using a hosted dedicated (Gameservers.com or ???) or a private dedicated server (a box in a basement).

2) Are you using a keycheck parameter (verifySignatures=1) in your server config?
