I always loved wikis for the fact that just because NOBODY else understands what you do, it gets simply deleted for being "nonsense" or "not proven";
I play and mod the entire Arma series (also including OFP:CWC back in the day) longer than ANYBODY else, so stfu you noobs. What I write is always TRUE, proven and 100% straightforward.
I was a bit too harsh, so I changed this a bit around:
If I write something that doesnt make Sense to some1 give me a ring (meaning post me a message or something) and I'll try to explain it further; I'm from ze Netherlands, so I do not have the perfect knowledge of the english language, although my understanding is perfect. it's only my own way to explain and express, that's where some "Misunderstandings" originate from.

Missiles behaviour experiments
With settings:
trackOversteer = 1;
trackLead = 0.2;
simulationStep = 0.001;
sideAirFriction = 1.0;
maneuvrability = 90;
one can get a Missile that turns like a Basterd, and never misses it's target, only time it misses is when the Server laggs like Hell, then there is a slim chance of it missing; in that case, add
manualControl = 1;
maxControlRange = 9000;
and the Missile will circle around it's target UNTIL it either A) Times out or B) Hits the Target.
Mediocre maxspeed (900) and thrust (870) help the missile fly and intercept decently fast AND maneuvre decently accurate (Laggs not included).
Commander Guns Smoke
The huge pile of smoke that the commander gun "exhales" is actually linked to the
muzzleEffect = "";
adding this/overwriting existing values with this one will remove the "overly strong smoke effects" of some guns (commander seat seems to be mostly affected by this).
VTOL
VTOL = 1; Behaves like a "Short Runway takeoff", but only bad hovering ability, plane loses speed and height
VTOL = 2; Behaves worse than =1, plane loses speed slowly, as soon as it reaches "close-to-hover-speed", but it loses height and can only be recovered if at acceptable height rapidily, expect the plane to start dropping like a stone if it reaches a airspeed < 80
VTOL = 3; The VTOL of the Osprey; perfect vertical takeoff-landing, perfectly stable hovering capability. Plane loses NO HEIGHT AT ALL until the thrust is increased/lowered. Plane acts almost like a helicopter, but not entirely. Note: Plane only gains speed at a slow rate; this is due to the VTOL 3 simulating the Osprey "switch-engines", which takes a certain speed to switch "forward" so the plane gains the full thrust power. So holding down Q after disengaging Autohover will make the Plane accelerate a bit slower until it reaches the threshold, the full thrust kicks in like an "Afterburner".
