And so are many more things. However, gameplay > realism

Why Khamisiyah Soccer? Is that particular event important or special to you in some way? I don't even recall a battle there. Or do you just find that area interesting for a level?

Is K_rivers still around?

Short version: The mapping team was talking about how badly Kashan needed an update so I decided to take it on. But when I started thinking about it, I decided it would be better just to start over because the current Kashan would have needed so many changes to bring up to our current standards (imo). So my goal was to create its spiritual successor and needed a place that had bunkers, oil wells, villages, and open desert. After some research and using Google Earth I discovered the Al Khidhir area had a real-world US FOB, a decent size town, and a huge bunker complex called Khamisiyah. The oil wells were a bit farther SE so I used creative license to bring them closer, but the rest of it is pretty accurate. I also thought it would be cool to have the river and crop fields, to break up the monotony of sand, and the real world Al Khidir had that too.

Ahhh, thought it was because you had an interest in the first gulf war. Still a good reason though.

Helicopter wheels? Are they coming back?

But ye, I think the only way we could make everyone happy and this a really useful feature is if we find a way of implementing a parking brake, which so far we don't.

last word on it that I know off

A Vehicle Warfare version of the map would be awesome, even in AAS the tank battles are the funniest in PR.

We hope so. He took a break from pr with stuff irl etc. but I think he will be back soon cause we really need him. Also hes the one that made me do sounds for PR and got my interest up.

how come that so often the sun is in the NORTH of the map?

because that's the editors default and no one noticed until the lightmaps are done, at that point is a PITA to fix

Can binoculars be implemented on the 50.calb gunner seat of a tank ? I think it'd make perfect sense

Something we have wanted to do for awhile now but our coders have had high priority stuff to work on.

Also what about optics for the gun itself on some vehicles such as the wmik?

Giving optics to HMGs etc isn't a very simple process but you may see them in the future if your lucky.

That's awesome news.

Is there any particular reason that when a jet is destroyed that the "wrecked" model only stays around for a few seconds before it also explodes? Most of the time it's still in the air when it explodes and hasn't even hit the ground yet.

Why can't you remove the hud using the renderer.drawhud command again? I can't seem to find the reason why ?

I believe it depends on the server settings you're playing on.
