In case you haven’t been following along in the BI Forum thread, I released a few new versions past 2.0 of my Paddle Mod for Arma 3 trying to track down some problems and adding a new feature (paddling sideways)!
Hopefully this new version works well in most/all situations. Zeus is a pain in my ass. 🙂
On to the next addon, updating the Raven!
After tons of play testing, tweaking and hair pulling, I’ve finally released version 2.0 of my Paddle Mod. For those who don’t know, it’s a modification of the Arma 3 assault boats and similar giving them tons of new features.
This addon will allow you to paddle forward and backward as well as turning the boat in place. It will improve the effectiveness of the rudder, will increase the engine power slightly and will allow you to enable and disable a kill switch for the engine so that when the engine is disabled you can steer while paddling. You can also use ropes with the boat for towing purposes and landmarking. You can also camouflage your boat using bushes found nearby.

After a few months off while Arma wasn’t running on my computer (after a hardware upgrade), I am back to work editing code and trying out new ideas.
In this video, you’ll see a few different things I’m working on:
-Arma dog
-M900 doors working correctly
-M900 accurate startup sequence and rotor brake
-Ground handling for helicopters
-Underwater salvage operations
-RQ-11B Raven Update
-Climbing with ropes
All of these addons and ideas are still works in progress. The Raven is pretty much done barring a few more tests.
For my birthday this year, I asked for a new graphics card. The one I got isn’t the one I asked for, it was an overclocked card. I usually go for reference card designs to avoid any headaches, (when you get older, headaches trump speed), but this card was awesome! Easy to overclock, powerful. It was great. Except with Arma 3. Arma 3 wouldn’t run.
I tried for two months, giving up several times after hours of google searching and trying different variations of settings. But recently I fixed it by completely underclocking my card. LOL. Headaches!
Anyway, I’m back to editing and am loving some of the new things that have come up in Arma 3 since I’ve been away, specifically ropes! Ropes are awesome. You can have so much fun with them.
But first things first. I’m putting the final touches on my long-awaited Raven addon update. Here’s a quick list of things I’ve fixed in version 2.5:
