  1. Too bad it's only up for one day. Nice to see a high profile sense of humor.
  2. Haha, the pedals he's using in the trailer are Saitek Pro Flight Combat pedals! Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it but it will probably be on DVD. I'm hoping that they don't do a ton of stick and rudder inputs just to make it look flashy. The guys flying that far away only use the autopilot.
  3. I saw Harmony Gold sold it to Sony for a live action film. After SOE butchered Star Wars Galaxies I have my reservations against anything with the Sony name. If someone ever made a flight sim based on Macross, something between DCS while in fighter mode and ARMA in Gerwalk and Battroid... I believe I've said it here before... You'll know where to find me!
  4. Just posting these links so I don't lose them. A guide for manual bombing in ArmA jets. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24728 Ranger Handbook 2011 http://www.benning.army.mil/infantry/rtb/content/PDF/2011%20RHB%20Final%20Revised%2002-11-2011.pdf FM7-8 http://www.umass.edu/armyrotc/Training/FM_7_8.pdf
  5. I found some more information regarding the JSRS sound mod (and every sound mod, for that matter). It seems there have been changes in ArmA that cause performance hits when using these mods. I didn't find they provided anything over the stock ArmA sounds, anyway.
  6. Star Wars pilots from the original trilogy drawn like Macross?!? My favorite animated short, EVER!
  7. I watched a video on the Stamina Bar, it's really a good one to have. It goes from green to yellow to red and fills up as you tire. I still want to do some SP testing but to know just how tired you are and stopping during a movement before you get exhausted is awesome.
  8. Klaiber and Trev, After playing a little last night and talking to a few people after someone fell through a building their client didn't see, I found some of the client side mods unnecessary and could even be affecting our stability. I'm dropping these and annotating what they all do so you can make your own choices. Also required: All in ArmA Terrain Pack - I replaced this with "All in ArmA Terrain Pack Lite." This has reduced textures that could help with performance. Klaiber, this one should benefit you the most. Client-Side Mod List Approved J.S.R.S. Sound - Removed because I hate the sound effects, personal preference ShackTac Group HUD - I love the SA this gives, it's the small circle at the bottom that shows squadmates that are close by and a simple compass with the cardinal headings Tao's Folding Map - I like this because I can have a map that takes up 1/2 the screen so I can keep my eye on the game while referencing nearby, drop it if you don't think you'll use it. VTS Simple Hand Gestures - I haven't used it but I like what it promises, could be a waste of HDD, though. Use "~ (tilde)" to bring up the commo rose. LHM Glasses - Undecided, it's kind of cool that sunglasses actually shade the light in 1st person, though. Keeping it for now. Weapon Safety - Took me a while to figure out the key, use "Shift + ~ (tilde)" to safe/arm any weapon. I like the idea of avoiding accidental discharges on the FOBs. FSF SacVentral - HALO jump with your own backpack on your chest, heck yeah! Also carry two backpacks if you really need to (I've done this IRL for injured people that couldn't carry their own) TAW View Distance - Keeping it. Use "U" to bring up the interface and change the LOD on the fly. Great for changing your performance real-time. Blake's PINS - This is an ArmA 2 mod that helps with bombing, I don't have it in the playwith6 collection I sent you and I don't find it necessary for what I play in ArmA. Dynamic Movement - You can jump over walls instead of stepping. It's had some buggy actions for me, I want to test it more offline. Also "CTRL+V" allows you to climb certain things. Switch Weapons While Moving - Yes, obvious in my eyes. Compass and Watch Enlarger - My screen is big enough, this became a hassle. Remove if you didn't have a problem before. ShackTac Stamina Bar - This puts a bar in the bottom left so you can know just how tired you are, see the video below. Outlaw's Mag Repack - Good for those long outings to reduce clutter and maximize magazine usage.
  9. Are these held on Saturdays around mid-day US? I saw one time for the briefing at 1900GMT, is that what time the missions will be? Unfortunately my daughter has track meets for the next few months but I'm dying to fly a tourney.
  10. Getting my Devildog on, sorta. I got in as a corpsman and diagnosed a couple times but another corpsman was already working on him (same guy twice). The group I ran with seemed reasonable, I'm sure working as a small team within or along side them would be feasible. There are only 5 pilot slots, I believe. The comms and teamwork within the group was pretty good for the one raid I participated in, definitely more populated than 161st. The IP to the recruiting server is: 74.91.126.120:2302 I couldn't find it using any filters.
  11. Okay, so I'm in the process of downloading all this to play on the 15th MEU server. I'm posting this now for those interested to start downloading Here's a link to my Play with6 collection: https://play.withsix.com/arma-3/collections/wW5xGfchC0Spx4RNDxWcpQ/15th-MEU Also, download this modpack from the 15th MEU (I went with mirror #2): http://15thmeu.net/forums/index.php?topic=19433.0 Extract the @ folder to your ArmA3 folder with the rest of the mods. In Play with6 you can select "Local>Arma 3 Mods" and drag the @15thRec to your 15th MEU collection. Their TS information is here: http://15thmeu.net/forums/index.php?topic=515.0
  12. Here's a couple of videos of Jester814 playing with this mod. Definitely looks interesting, indeed!
  13. Around the 32 minute mark they start talking about AI improvements. Near misses will cause the AI to react and they will share information about players! Also, suppression of AI is coming up, so now we can cover each other's movement better. ArmA's AI is simply amazing!
  14. Marksmen DLC livestream. I've just started watching, so jump around as you wish:
  15. Money Pit, also quite infamously said through the development of CloD.
  16. Nope, you've posted long ago, there isn't anything locked. I moved your MiG post to JG-1 subforum.
  17. I'm looking at this on my ipad and I'm not seeing anything in your posts.
  18. I do hope they get the code figured out for two pilot crews, this airplane would benefit it greatly.
  19. I knew holding out on all those weapon mods would pay off one day! (Actually, it's because I'm cheap and I couldn't convince myself the benefit outweighed the cost)
  20. Okay, I should have time this morning
