I set up a barrel, garden plot, and a fish trap (when they'd still work ruined) in the little bay at north east edge of the map in .58 exp I think. The best I got was 80-90% bags always damaged with about a dozen full stacks of plant material and similar part stacks of guts (couldn't combine) but someone said they got a full one somehow. Tried reading back to find it in the .58 exp thread but it was before page fifty something and i got bored. There was a definite formula but i never figured it out. Your last paragraph (and the hurmph, disappointing cars) is why I've lost interest and been playing other games.

You should see my GR8 yearbook picture, hopeless, check, mullet, check. If they do put them in game they must also have skullet variant for us older folicaly challenged white trash to represent as well.

There was at least 5 or 6 confirmed attributed to an RPG, only reason I linked it. In all likely hood those were in hover or transitioning to hover. They weren't specific about the projectile ant they haven't told what ones were going to have available but an RPG7 frag rocket has an up to 130m kill radius on unarmoured target and would fuck up rotor blades within up to that just by hitting something solid around the bird. I'm looking forward to flying but I want it to give me the edge of my seat DayZ feeling knowing one luck shot or mistake on my part can erase all my hard work getting one, that's something Arma or MS FS cant do.

Yeah, Cash's post reminded me about a trick I've seen used for racetrack emergency repairs. A decent vehicle alternator can provide enough power to stick weld either in the vehicle or one of these homebuit jobs. A vertical shaft lawnmower engine mated to a 90+ amp car alternator, this one has a nice aluminum frame but I've seen the made out of pieces of wood, door hinges and stuff you could scrounge in most garden sheds. It's also a somewhat useful 12v generator and could be coupled with an inverter if they're common in Chenarus

Well as far as soft skills reality would actually work against how they've proposed any they've mentioned working. Better welds generally come from more time put into prep and the weld itself, my first real job was a welders helper and in most cases 95% of the job time wise was my part preparing the surface and fitting the parts. My boss loved that he could pay me $10 an hour and bill me out at $60-120 an hour because I could do anything but the welding. If it does end up in game this is one thing I'd prefer to see being "gamey" rather than a welding simulator within a survival simulator unless it turns into a simulated society where being good at one thing makes you worth not killing. I watch the boards daily pretty much and haven't seen anything new since the status report mentioning the generator but yes most generators could run run a hobby grade or light industrial welder and then there's all sizes of the ones I posted a picture of that are a generator that can weld or run anything that runs on 110 or 220v that you would find in your house. Back to my first job the boss had a special cord so he could throw the main breaker in his house isolating it from the city power grid during a power outage and backfeed power into an outlet in his garage with the truck mounted welder/genset and run his whole house.

I do :( There's something really satisfying for a flight sim enthusiast fighting to get a malfunctioning aircraft back on the ground without loss of life. Never played DayZ mod but I almost never bail in Arma with hopes of salvaging my bird, the rarity they're going to have in SA is going to make me really care about them like they were real and very rewarding personally to hold on to one.

Not sure what your hardware is like but us guys on the low to below recommended hardware end are struggling with it, fun when it works though.

Some servers are resetting it as far as I know but if you pick a reliable one you can hoard the overabundance of stuff until your hearts content with basically nothing but pvp to do with it. That being said they confirmed there will be a full public and private hive wipe when .59 drops as expected but the rate exp is going it might be awhile. If you don't have the problems some of us are having exp might be worth trying for you as there's already some new loot and more importantly infected to use it on.

My dad is one of the most skilled and highly trained welders around but I personally don't have "the hand" as they call it so never perused anything beyond fitting, prep and helper. Now the welder you described is a wirefeed and yes they are very easy to use, I (or even my kids) can stick two pieces of steel together solidly with one it's not pretty but it works. In game I can see the mechanics being very hard to figure out where to draw lines with what can and can't be welded. In a real apocalypse welding would happen with the remaining gas and diesel fuel and machines in which time a resourceful person could/would use one to convert another to run on steam even.

Not to mention a 22 can pierce the 3/16" perspex windscreen while maintaining lethal velocity.

Not that they don't make them but that's not what you think it is, that welder uses probably 220v to run an electric motor that turns a generator that produces lower voltage at higher amperage. Same idea but with a small diesel engine turning the generator. *edit* Electric welding machines aren't rare in rural setting, we have at least 3 and 2-3 gensets and I've been on lots of farms around here and the all have at least one.

Peruse this list and see how many helicopters were confirmed to be shot down by insurgents pulling cawadooty nonsense in Afghanistan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aviation_accidents_and_incidents_in_the_war_in_Afghanistan I used to work on equipment for and occasionally around helicopters and they're quite sensitive when it comes to foreign objects contacting the rotors and external sensors. Sure there's lots of places a bullet can pass right through the hull without doing anything but if you land a shot on critical areas it's going down. I've even heard of records of one crashing on their first flight after a paintjob because someone forgot to remove a piece masking tape from an external pressure sensor, what do you think a bullet would do to that sensor? Now that's real life but it'll all depend on how they handle the hit boxes in game, is it going to be one big lump with a ton of hit points or many boxes that affect systems and modules like the MS combat flight sim games. As far as an RPG specifically I don't think you shoot at it while it's in fast forward flight, you wait until it's either transitioning to/in hover, or just splash it while on or near the ground.

I think the vanilla game should have a hard(er) flight model personally and save the dumbed down version for the mods. Not everyone is expected to have a joystick but those people just shouldn't expect to fly easily, well or at all. Anyone who already has a joystick already probably has some hours flying sims and represents the people with previous experience that would have the possibility of acquiring and being able to utilize an abandoned aircraft in the context of the game. Older Sidewinder or Wingman joysticks can be found cheap anywhere like ebay, thriftsotres, garage sales I've never paid more than $25 for one using a $5 Wingman currently so really it's not a big investment to be expected of people who want to fly either.

That's kind of pointing to my theory they changed the way information gets shared between clients and servers probably in the long term fight against desync. I'm passive/neutral and would flee trouble if at all possible so didn't feel to bad but my constant satellite lag always gave me an edge, now it seems like my client has to be accountable to the server and all other clients before it'll let me move. I would love confirmation of that change if that's the case.

It's slightly more pixels so it wouldn't but your render wouldn't be stretched anymore. Older/low end systems took a hit at least in populated coastal areas in.59 as far as I can tell.

Never seen one spawned, been shot by 2, was offered one in trade for a truck just gave them the truck carried on on foot. In all honesty aside from a Gorka coat, an 8 slot vest if the hunting is no good or an occasional SKS, I don't spent a lot of time searching for military loot. My characters live long boring lives away from trouble as one would rationally do if they were trying to survive.

Hmm, last time I tried it it was just shoot the gun in hand and you got the reload icon for your mouse wheel click. I'm playing exp right now and not sure how the new system handles snap-loaders and magazines yet.

Maybe try... a: Play for more than a few hours like those who enjoy a huge time sink open world survival game do. b: Cawadooty where you pick you kit at the the start. There's plenty of single serving, kill, die, repeat games already on the market why do you think every game should be instant gratification? This game is a nice change of pace being about the journey not the destination, in over 1000hr I still haven't found an m4 and I'm fine with that.

No you need to set your pixel ratio to something that adds up to 16:9. 1280X720, 1360X768, 1920X1080 etc. preferably the native pixel ratio of the monitor or TV you're using. According to Google yours is a 1280X720px.

Video is just a simple overclocked AMD Radeon HD 5450 Over clocked to : GPU Clock set 690 MHz Memory Clock set 683 MHz Correct me if I'm wrong but 1024X768px in 4:3 not 16:9?

Haven't tried it in stable but as recently as .58 exp if you carried 2 (or more) loaded break action guns of the same type the one in your pack would act as a snap loader for the one in hand. I even carried 4 longhorns hunting for a bit in .58 exp. I think he was making a joke about that?

Q and E keys last I heard, I'm sure some will struggle with that though.

In .59 if you put the appropriate bullets in your hotbar with the gun in hand you just hit the hotbar key for the bullets and they reload although I'm not sure if it was lag or unfinished some didn't seem to have an animation, not sure if snap loaders work anymore either. With 7.62X39mm being found in civilian spawns it makes the izh18 a whole bunch less useless.

I've done that just for fun then abandoned them and moved on, I scout hidden and abandoned trucks shooting the gas tanks and tires disabling them until I have the supplies then I scoop them all right after a reset. I did this in less than 2 hours and there was a 5th one a short distance away the I wrecked in the trees. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/438324884322934548/65DE5D783DE85BEF14B7FC96A904DE9CBEAD4ABE/?interpolation=lanczos-none&output-format=jpeg&output-quality=95&fit=inside|2048:384&composite-to=*,*|2048:384&background-color=black

There used to be terrain glitch there, a grass pyramid. They put the concrete circle and sign in memory of it.
