I might have an idea regarding the weight..will take some time because the guy who made the system i know stopped playing ArmA. It's not a system like A.C.E offers though...

Yeah and with all players attacking other players and zombies anyway would it make a difference?

So how will you stop a sniper seeing your backpack from 1000m away with a scope? And with most players running around in ghillies it's hard to fake...

And pain, too...and bleeding...

Huey is out of place...something russian perhaps....a huey would not be out of place in Germany or an Alouette since they were used by the border police and the UH1D was even produced in Germany. A UH1 SAR would be the last thing i would want to see in Chernarus...there are enough russian helicopter models in the game.

Don't they have Apaches, Cobras, Littlebirds, HMMWVs and Abrams...? Last time i checked they also had M14, DMRs, M16, M4, M107, AS50s and such... But one thing is fact, when not maintained or sheltered from weather effects equipment like aircraft deteriorate fast(er than a tank or UAZ f.e. ).

Has been suggested a lot and makes sense if the topography allows it. ...because we still have telefone, internet, tv and whatnot in an apocalypse. A glimpse towards the skies from time to time tells the weather good enough unless the devs fuck up the script and if one doesn't always look shoot players from araf with a scoped weapon ( you know..a scope narrows the field of vision and makes it difficult to look at the sky ). That's the guys with a ring shaped imprint around one eye...

I think with a bit of technical understanding you could get it airborne, the most difficult part is landing and staying in one piece even if you knew a bit about aerodynamics as a layman. It's like wearing a pair or rollerblades barely beeing able to stand, somehow you manage not to fall the 10m you roll down the street buth then a car approaches....HOW DO YOU STOP??? :lol: Kind of like that.

ok...i take it back...

Then you have a really weird problem...have you tried using startup parameters yet?

They had if the map was bigger ( and they would have to be reeeeeeally biiiiiig like 100x100km to at least justify the shorter travel time ), in fact they have no purpose...not that they shouldn't exist because of that. If parts and especially fuel gets scarce you wouldn't want to waste it on a gas-guzzler anyway. I sure hope they have fuel, diesel and kerosene in the SA so you can't just drive/fly to a gas station and just fill up. Yeah that's the problem...like 2 mins across the map...oh i have to turn again.... and where do you want to land that thing anyway if you see something? Quite dangerous even if the plane is capable of taking "rough terrain". And who in the world would go on a joyride in an apocalypse? Aircraft would be used to travel long distances and not circle above atown all day looking for someone to shoot at. 99% would do it safe and travel on the ground. If something happened in an unknown aircraft you can't just stop on the side of the road open the door and step out. Yeah like every chernarussian farmer won in the lottery and had one in his barn...even one private owned helo is too much.

Some i don't think you will find at all. Police were issued weapons, you will most likley find AKs, Saigas, Makarovs and whatever kind of soviet pistol they have but not a WW2 PPS-43, i don't know how it is in russia but police forces usually have civilian versions of the military rifles that shoot semi only in cases where they need the firepower. Most often it's just pistols and in my country a MP5 for additional firepower. It can be a shotgun, smg or a semi auto armalite variant in the states. Why would you want to shoot down helicopters if there are flyable at all or even vehicles in the future of the SA. It would be a waste to destroy things that can't be replaced so easily. And the SA will be about survival and less "peevpee". You'll be happy if you find a bat to use ass a weapon. To quote a player in my old group while we were playing wasteland for a change of pace. He is a M4 fanatic and refuses to use anything else not shooting 5.56 or 7.62 NATO.

Try the difference in fps between vsync on and off, that didn't make a difference on my end other than tearing with vsync off.

Although my trigger finger gets itchy sometimes and i have to scratch it on the trigger i want you as a DayZ buddy :lol:

Single player always works better than multiplayer unless you add as much AI then it will lag too. High end hardware is no magic cure against ArmA. I would try a SSD as a last resort with your specs if you don't already have one. I have a constant 40-60 outside towns in Chernarus and around 25-35 in towns and almost always 60fps on Sahrani except around 35-45fps in the bigger towns with an i7-2600k and a 580GTX for reference ( settings are a mixed high and very high ). I wonder if my rig would do more if i had a 120Hz display...

^This...they will not approach you one by one hollywood style and wait for you to beat them one by one.... Every situation involving zeds should be suicidal especially if it's not the typical undead "slow" zeds...the player should think about how to approach the valuable loot and not just run straight there gung-ho and fight their way out with guns blazing.

Every engine will break if you overheat it, diesel engines are sturdier in that matter if you have warmed them up properly. If heat wouldn't matter they would have left the cooling parts away. Heat build-up happens no matter how careful or low-rev you drive, if it exceeds the cooling capacity ( either through excessive "racing" or lack of cooling fuilds ) it will overheat. If you drive from the outskirts via highway into a city where you have lot's of slow traffic you can see the needle going up because the engine lacks air to cool down, but that won't normally kill the engine. Judging from my experience at the gas station a lot of people only know where the fuel tank is, they never check oil levels or tire pressure and wait until some light turns on on the panel then fill it up. Oh yes and i killed an engine once by overheating it...

Yes he does...i don't know why but somehow everybody expects all luxury items you find in rich industrial states in poor post soviet industrial states as well... btw. what's an armor piercing assault rifle? You meant the ammo right? Some things like an IED seem to be out of place since i don't expect survivors blowing each other up for the sake of blowing each other up...or waging WW3. Like him? One of the things i agree with completely.

So far the longer you spend in a location the more likely you encouter a trigger happy player. With the zeds roaming around all the time at least this shit has been addressed, i hope some add a few persistent zeds in towns so players can't use that against you in the mod.

You should have seen my buddy swirl around prone like a helicopter rotor in BF2 :lol: He did the same in ArmA...

If it's damp enough that shit grows everywhere not just on the right side. I think it only works on the edges, small groups of trees or single trees.

I'm pretty sure in the mod they already leap around indoors. I'm often surprised by one literally jumping me indoors or running a short distance in barns or warehouses. Maybe it's just a glitch. But they still detect and try to attack you through floors and not just through through walls, pretty obvious when you fight them in staircases.

It will still take you a couple of seconds to pick it up and stuff it into your backpack IRL, even longer than you currently do in game with a double click imo. If anyone then i had to whine about that system because due to TrackIR my point of aim and line of sight don't always correspond to eachother making it difficult to focus on the "action spot". I do agree that the pickup system is kind of stupid because it sometimes shows you items you can pick up but you don't want so you still have to use the gear menu. I don't know if it would be better if you had a sort of "take" button you have to hold facing a loot pile then scroll your mouse wheel then click lmb to take it. It would still take as long and might also be a bit fiddly for some. The ArmA 3 drag and drop system is quite good but still needs improving.

You can't compare those games where they focused on character interaction...of course they would make some more fluid movements and the moves are entirely focued on swoardplay and archery, if you ignore the nice bugs when you hit the enemy f.e. with arrows or you flying straight towards the sky when clubbed by a giant you could consider Skyrim to be superior but it still has a lot that needs to be improved. So far the BF series didn't improve compared to ArmA. From my experience in titles like BF or CoD your character was already shooting while the enemy was still seeing you just end your reload animation, so much for timing. ArmA is cluncky but a bit better imo. With the stop motion type of animation i don't think they can improve that much even if they wanted to. The avatars are just too stiff around the hips.

People who forget they have a compass because they try to get gps with their iphone in the middle of the woods?
