DoctorStrop Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Tanks cant drive in a straight line. I have to keep tapping the "a" key to counter act the vehicle veering to the right. Also the carat bounces about much akin to the effect of breathing when a snipper is zoomed in but much more rapid. Just to clarify this happens when the tank is stationary. Another user was complaining of the same thing, both in SP and MP modes. I created a MP map and was very pleased with how everything links up. If those bugs are iron out this is going to be very good. I am using the latest DCS_World_en_1.2.1.5970 patch, and have allowed the auto updates to run.

upupandaway Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 You need to activate the handbrake (h) when stationary to avoid the shaking. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzpilot Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Almost everybody outside russia knows that most armored vehicles in west have stabilized gyros that makes aiming while driving very accurate. If it's some biased shit, it only make ED loose customers. i5 4670 - Sabertooth Z87- GTX Titan - Dell U3011 30" - 2x8GB RAM 1800 - Samsung 840 EVO 512GB SSD - Warthog HOTAS - CH Pro pedals - TrackIR5 - Win7 64bit EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3instein Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Great game but please ED in the final release could we maybe dispense with the yellow cartoonist sights please. Surely there has to be a better way to aim your weapon? Even when your firing at a tank with the lock on thingy how many AP rounds before you get a hit? It's like pot luck in a way,maybe me though, Still think there could be a better solution though. All round good work from the ED boys with all the work lately bound to be teething problems.

SmokeyTheLung Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Even when your firing at a tank with the lock on thingy how many AP rounds before you get a hit? I've made a new version of this mod with all tank sights zeroed at 1000M. With AP rounds I've found that this value will get you on target inside of 2000M first or second shot. 1.2.1 changed the file structure a bit so I have to tweak these again System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorStrop Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I appriciate the comments suggesting I engage the hand brake before shooting. Is this something that will be addressed in the final release. I put this down as being a bug rather than a feature. I'm not sure I would be keen to use this software until my steering issue was identified and fixed. Has anyone had the same issue?

Kenan Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 If those are russian tanks not being able to drive in a straight line, perhaps you should set the mission time a bit later in a day, say 17:00hrs?

3instein Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks SmokeyTheLung, Appreciate your efforts buddy,keep them coming, Quicker we have decent sights on this thing the better IMO, I obviously know it is no SB,but is there no possible way to incorporate the binoc view with thermals and a "lase" button? Maybe then I could maybe actually hit something, Those red/orange/yellow lock on thingy s just get in the bloody way! :( Cheers for your work though :thumbup: Mick.

3instein Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Does anyone find their tanks/jeeps whatever keep sliding down a slope of any kind? Trying to drive up a "slight" slope is a nightmare and usually is faster in reverse? Once you find your spot and just away to fire you find yourself drifting downhill. This is a 70 ton tank with handbrake on and in neutral? :cry: I realize that the slopes/mountains are quite steep but this happens on a very slight slope and TBH is a PITA.. CA is turning to a great game and hope these little niggles will get sorted in due course,as well as the aiming system,lol, don't get me started. heh heh. ;) Mick. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Keep the faith AMD PHENOM II X 4 955be @3.2 GHZ | ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO mb | Corsair XMS3-8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory | Nvidea GTX 580 GDDR5 GPU | CNPS9900 NT cooler | Corsair HX850W psu | Seagate Barracuda 500GB HD 300 MBps - 7200 rpm | WIN 7 64bit | 32" HD LCD TV | 5.1 surround sound | wireless keyboard and mouse | Saitek x45 hotas.

3instein Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Sorry to ask again but Does anyone find their tanks/jeeps whatever keep sliding down a slope of any kind? This is causing me all sorts of problems, Doesn't matter if you are in neutral,handbrake on,or in gear you still slide down the slope? Even when parked sideways to the hill/slope. Does anyone have a solution for this please, :( Regards, Mick. :) Edited October 11, 2012 by 3instein [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Keep the faith AMD PHENOM II X 4 955be @3.2 GHZ | ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO mb | Corsair XMS3-8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory | Nvidea GTX 580 GDDR5 GPU | CNPS9900 NT cooler | Corsair HX850W psu | Seagate Barracuda 500GB HD 300 MBps - 7200 rpm | WIN 7 64bit | 32" HD LCD TV | 5.1 surround sound | wireless keyboard and mouse | Saitek x45 hotas.

SmokeyTheLung Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=91660&highlight=Combined+arms These are outdated but will still work, albeit a little bit differently in this version of world ...The tank sights are not zeroed to 1000m but have the default boresight (so it's offering no advantage except for looks at the moment, IMHO of course :)) I'm in the process of updating them and figuring out why they behave differently in this version of world (for instance, the tank main gun sight is invisible while in wide FOV. That was not the case when I made them) System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
