Not very realistic but nice, Air file is from Arma (elementh from Jade Groove map) for sure but big fun :) .

This is why beta testing should be left to the pros. I can't get any of the Arma2Free content, namely Chenarus. Looking forward to the release version.

I get the following error: "Cannot open file c:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2 Free\\dta\bin.pbo"

Ahh, I got it. As you may have guessed, 1 too many "\"s.

Glad to hear you got it working Ericinexile :)

The next beta patch/the full patch will have auto detection. :bounce3:

Has anybody experienced disappearing cockpits (entire mesh or just seeing all textures as white surfaces) in this beta patch?

Yes - it happens a lot still. I did not see it in the patch notes, so I assumed you were still working on it - hence I never mentioned it.

Anyway with the patch it still happens in ToH, ToH:Hinds and ToH:ReArmed.

Ok, we'll release another beta patch soon to test our more recent version alleviates it. In-house that newer version does not show it on the few PCs that did before, but we cannot know for sure it does for you :(

Pardon me if I am calling the impossible a bug but I have never played ArmA.

I tried making a very simple mission with two bad guys on the little island just offshore from Chenarus. I then wanted to fly a light with some friendlies to the island, disembark, and kill the bad guys. But the US Army riflemen are unarmed. So I made us Marines instead. But everytime I have the pilot get out of the light and I click the little "steering wheel" logo to take the pilot seat, the game crashes.

I get no crashes when I enter the light as pilot using your mission.

Ok thanks. I get it every time. I changed the rifles and light helo to ION and it works fine. But USMC crashes every time. Maybe because I am using ARMA 2 Free?

Will do. But it will be a few days. Currently flying. Another detail is that I played the mission from Preview in the editor.

To follow up on my error. I purchase ArmA2 (not free) and had the same problem. Cannot find any file called TakeonH.rpt.

Assuming you are windows 7 the takeonh.rpt file will be at;

c:\users\[yourwindowsusername\appdata\local\Take On Helicopters\takeonh.rpt

You may have to un-hide system files to see the appdata folder if you haven't already done so. If you are unsure of how to do this then check this page (first one I found in Google!).

These modlines look fine Ericinexile:

"-mod=c:\Program files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2 Free;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters;Hinds;beta"

"-mod=c:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA2;C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters;Hinds;beta"

Can you please create a hashlist of your TKOH folder and upload the file.

Here is a tool to easily create it: http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/

RMB on the TKOH folder and select "create hash file".

Other than that create a dev heaven account and post your crash data here please:

A patch will not create a beta folder as it patches the original install. Only an actual beta will create the beta folder. When you install a patch there is no going back (other than a complete reinstall) as it replaces the original content. A beta can be run alongside the main install hence it is installed in a separate beta folder.

The usual turn of events is something like this;

beta

beta

beta

Patch Release Candidate

Patch Retail Release

beta

beta... etc etc

You could define a patch as a major milestone which is distributed to the public and is officially supported. Beta's are not distributed, but made available to test should you wish to do so (which I heartily encourage you to do so).
