A Use for Windshields ++

I would like to see a fix for a cars headlights in the Mod.

as of now you only see one cone of light coming out of 2 headlights.

This is mildly annoying, and it ruins the immersion, for it just looks stupid.

I don't even know if it is possible to fix it in the mod,because is a ARMA 2 problem.

------------

The second suggestion is about the windshield. if you have a car with a perfect windshield you are fine.

But when it cracks you don't see anything. so you get out of your car and destroy the glass completely,

and you are fine again, because you have a clear view and it won't get obscured again, if you hit the next tree.

So my idea is to add a blur effect for driving to fast without a windshield, so you have to change it if it is broken.

This would also make the windscreenglas a more valuable item to find. Right now it is just as bad as tincans

because it has no real use (except you are trying to repair a chopper).

------------

In the standallone make serveral sizes of tires, so you don't have one universal tire that fits on both a bobby-car and a Ural.

Small, Medium, Large.

Small for ATV's and Motorcycles

Medium for normal car and Pickups (even Militaryvehicles)

Large for Trucks and such.

Maybe even add different types of those tires e.g. worn, normal, heavy-duty (military grade tires, that shoot missiles an stuff)

------------

The ability to store a spare tire at the outside of a pickup/jeep without using trunk space.

nice ideas and very clearly and well put. I agree with the wind shield idea that is fantastic driving above 60 you shouldnt be able to see without glass even in 3rd person. The tyre idea is also good but it would be irritating as hell, you would have to make the spawn rate higher. headlights is a no brainer

Nice idea with the missing windshield.

The light and model issues are well known and ignored by BIS, it's as old as the game itself...maybe not with OFP where almost everything was working as it should.

Missile-Shooting tires? Hell yeah!

But anyways, these are some good ideas, but I agree with what beast101 said about increased tire spawn rate. Maybe without a windshield, you could have a chance of getting hit by debris, and your temperature drops.

Yes, tyres should not be .. not common at all

Well in Arma 2, with tanks and other armored vehicles you have some option (forget what exactly its called, turn in/out i think?) that lets you stick your head out of the hatch. Maybe have something simular with cars where you rolldown and stick your head out the window (rather than having to shoot out a damaged window), with less of an effect than mentioned above (vision blur at speed, still lowers body temp but not as much or as fast, minor damage from debris, and of course exposing your 'killswitch' to anyone whose a good shot/spray and pray)

*EDIT/ADDED*

Make so you can craft a 'shield' with a windscreen. (basically a homemade riot shield can block/knockdown zombies with it and take a lot of damage from zombies ((attacking from the front, your screwed if your literally surrounded)), but only a few shots from a gun ((depending on caliber)) )

Good job, I guess those are all suggestions you can hardly refuse.

So a big YES! to you and some beans :)

Why care about a broken windshield glass when you use 3rd person?

We need goggles for driving without a windshield :)

Ride a motorbike during dawn with an open visor or without a helmet...yum.
