Artillery direct fire optics not working for certain languages
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

While using any artillery sight I get ",1 ft" (whatever that means) instead of the "Angle with base" value and ",2 ft" instead of both elevation values. Self explainatory in this capture: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/70367341/arma3%202013-12-08%2023-19-48-041.bmp

it works fine for me. try reinstalling Arma?

Already did that.
I think the people at BIS could figure the problem out because ",1 ft" must come from somwhere.

Did you try to switch the game language around and see if it's still the case?

Thanks for the idea, it appears to be language related.

Should be fixed with the next exe for all provided strings. Thank you for reporting this.

Glad you got it sorted

Mass-closing resolved issues updated only last year - assuming fixed correctly.

Cheers!
