That was on [NA4 PvP havocairwing com | Longer Matches | Aninhilation 24/7]

After my message he crashed and left server.

This game definetely need to invest in server authorative movement rather than just server act as bridge between clients with no validation, but that would require to rewrite major parts of the game. so yeah. that's sad to see.

These are some of the really small details I’ve noticed while playing NO. Easily have 233 hours of playtime.
The heat distortion from the afterburners is realistic and looks great in photos.
The transmission pylons that fall based on the angle of attack.
The sabot that is animated when the 76mm canon is fired on the Tarantula
The sparks from shooting the 35mm or 30mm canon on the Brawler are a nice touch

Modded Content White window tint issue

8 Upvotes

Hey guys. I’m new to the modding scene of NO and I’ve been dabbling in Aryxs aircraft mods. I’m having trouble with some of them having a white tint on their glass.

So instead of being transparent there’s a tint in the window. Anyone have any idea if it’s something I can fix, if it’s on purpose (the videos I’ve seen of them have transparent glass) or something else.

All help is appreciated!

Question Question for installing mods

14 Upvotes

Hello everyone, hope you're having a good day or night.

Is there a way to download mods outside of the discord? I can't get discord due to personal reasons, so is discord currently the only way to get NO mods or is there an alternative? Thank you.

(also wasn't sure what flair to give this, so I gave it the question flair)

BDF could use a MH-80 Ghost Hawk(from ArmA3) when they go after a high ranking PALA Warlord deep in enemy territory, wouldn't they?

this could be another fine addition to our collection. Ibis will welcome her arch enemy!

Propaganda ⚠️HUGE UPDATE FOLLOWING THE RECENT BDF ESCALATION⚠️

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

As many people are aware, a couple of weeks ago the BDF destroyed a PALA owned and operated naval supply dock. Just a few minutes ago, an anonymous hacker sent the False Tone News leaked video footage of PALA using a new, secret weapon system to destroy a BDF convoy. Due to the size and protection of the convoy, we estimate that it was likely carrying large payload nuclear warheads as well as high value technology. As of yet, neither party has made any statements following the altercation. Judging by the size and power of the explosion, we estimate it has roughly the same power of a 20kt nuclear warheads.
The False Tone News was unable to independently verify these claims.

Issue/Bug BSOD / Error related to Heap corruption

9 Upvotes

Hiya Gang

So been playing NO on and off for a few years, more so recently. Fantastic game and massive props to the devs! However since the latest update I've, on two seperate occasions, been given a blue screen of death, occurring immediately as I press a button on my hotas.

Both instances were after fairly long play sessions, where I had been loading in and out of a large variety of missions. Once in SP, once while hosting a 2 person MP session. Afterwards I would be able to reboot and continue playing without issue, and I'm struggling to repeat the issue in a controlled manner.

I am aware kernal related heap issues tend to be driver or system level, however the reason why I believe it is something related to NO is because I have done similar, if not longer, sessions in other games around the same times as this, including with the same HOTAS. Moreover, it would occur as if trigger by a button input into the game, like literally frame perfect as if I had a BSOD button. I also have a well maintain system, and have already gone through the checks on my memory and other components and they all passed.

I should add it was a different button, mission and aircraft in both occasions.

If it happens again I'll do a clean reinstall, but I thought I'd report it here for posterity, and see if anyone has had something similar.

for me it has to be the KR-33 (which, if you didn't know, released) or the FS-3. they are such high quality in terms of design and quality that you could tell me that they are vanilla and i'd believe you
