Re: [Sun] 22 Mar 2015 (I saw a rainbow)

Arrived more or less in time for the start (if only by the skin of my teeth) for this session, and oddly everything was working (ARMA3 ate all my control settings during the week and I had to redo them from scratch, which was both annoying and a good reason to immediately take a backup copy of them ...

Re: [Sun] 22 Mar 2015 (I saw a rainbow)

Full AAR to come, but I did want to say I'm surprised by how restful it is to play as a pilot in Bees. It's ten minutes of worry and the Shepard's prayer* during briefing, five minutes of fighting framerates, not having that wonderful map marker and so taking a wrong turn and nearly landing at the w...

Re: The scheme.

The Church of Kerry :D

Sorry lads, I keep confusing that with GAA football :D
We need a disclaimer here that any Irish Folk playing this are to be forgiven the odd attack of laughter at odd times due to cultural context :D :dance:

Re: Group buy - Ed tracker

Was looking at the Ed tracker with interest. I use a DIY point source + freetrack (used to use facetracknoir) + pointtracker at the moment and it works really well for tiny amounts of money if you get the PS3 eye camera and an IR filter (ie. a piece of exposed camera film taped over the lens), but t...

Re: [Sun] 15 Mar 2015 (Mothers don't surf)

You can disable the steam overlay in the steam settings. You lose the FPS indicator, but you gain FPS in return :D Yeah I may do that. I don't see the FPS indicator though, I've been looking for it for a long time, couldn't ever see it. Not terribly important (I just use FRAPS or something) but...i...

Re: Arma 3 Marksmen DLC out on April 8...

Some of the new ones they've added are pretty neat, but if you don't have the DLC and the mission assigns you (say) the Kir as a scout for something like the infiltration side in Cordon Blu, what happens then? Do you wind up having an unsuppressed rifle or can the mission script have a fallback? Sa...

whether the new gunz are used depends on the mission.

Re: The frugal comrade's guide to video recording

Small tip: if you're not using your native fullscreen resolution with ARMA (my framerate crashes if I go above 1200x800 for Reasons and I have the normal 1900x1080 monitor resolution), settings->video is only half what you have to tweak in OBS, you also have to right-click on the Arma 3 source and t...
