[Official Statement] Why some assets have been removed from some maps

[[R-DEV]Outlawz7]

Here's a trick question: if helicopters and tanks were removed from Qwai because they both caused the sound bug and the Lynx was also removed from Basrah due causing the sound bug...then why wasn't the CR2 removed from Basrah as well?

I'm guessing the CR2's sound distance > Al Basrah's video distance.

I believe the CR2's engine noise radius was reduced just to allow it to stay on Basrah. Vehicle whores rejoice (kinda).

Kinda sound like an oxymoron to me.

because they are used on other maps with the proper view distance, such a Qinling.

And CR2 is also on Qinling. Then again the desert and woodland CR2's are two individual vehicles.

not sure, it was in the planning to remove it must have been an oversight.

Boost the view distance to 800m or remove the Lynx. If you remove the Lynx,

Boost the view distance to 600m or remove the Challanger. If you remove the Challenger everything else will be fine with the current view distance.

Unlikely since the CR2 is on Qinling and as such it would be bastardised for that map.

That is true it might have been lowered on the desert version but not 100% sure.

Good to know. Atleast we are gona get a lot of inf combat action.

Well there aren't any other maps with the desert camo CR2, so it's possible. Don't you guys keep a change log somewhere so all the Devs know this stuff?

ye there is a log of every change made to our REPO but there are soo many changes made you can't read / remember all of them

Normally I watch out for changes done to statics and maps

Thanks for letting us know why they were removed, now that I think about it, there was a certain amount of irritation is listening to those choppers long after they were shot down, and I have to admit, game play has not diminished a bit.

Also do you have your VD % lowered in your GFX settings?

Also is this in v0.86 you are having the sound bug and what sound card do you have?

Here is a fresh video where Stryker and supply truck sound bugs were right next to each other. The destroyed Stryker at the beginning of the video was blown up just couple of minutes before I arrived there.


(recorded today on full Chicago Insurgency server)

I have every gfx setting at max, including view distance. My sound card is Razer Barracuda AC-1, which is based on C-Media's CMI8788 chipset. It's EAX2 compatible and I have hardware audio and EAX enabled.
