You don't need the backslashes and you need the hyphen before mod.

What sort of things would you guys want in the bug tracker?

I noticed that HE rounds do a lot of damage to heavy armour, even low caliber ones, bug, suggestion or leave is there somewhere else for suggestions?

If the HE rounds for a specific weapon does a lot more damage against armour than other HE rounds (comparativly), then add a bug ticket.

If you think HE rounds in general do too much damage against armour, add a feature ticket.

Yes, thank you Sickboy and the ACE team it's a fantastic mod!. KH will continue to support you and your team as much as we can. Our YAS server has distributed 1.3 TB's of data to the community so far!. Keep up the good work :)

Hey ACE Team, one question: if I have a more recent version than the server I'm trying to play on, will it say something like "these files are not using a key accepted by the server"?

The server that you are connecting to has signature checking enabled and does not have the ACE beta keys installed therefore it is blocking clients connecting with the ACE beta mod.

Thanks. But really guys, it's no news.

Announced all of it long before the release.

Anyone's free to join up, everything's open source, I dare anyone to do better :) Share your ideas!

Really, the technology first needed to be proven before I spend days of user-experience improvement 'fikken' (phun intended on 'pixelfikken') :)

Besides, I am actively supporting it everywhere and in every way I can, major improvements already made since the release, not even 2 days ago.

People have really no idea what is involved in all of this, and for free.

That's why I don't take it too seriously most of the time. Besides, anyone can provide alternate means of distribution, i'm just not going to support it.

It is my free time, blood, sweat and tears, and I'll decide what to do with it :)

Anyway, if a little work on users-end can't be expected, especially in it's Beta period, for a product of this magnitude, with such an alive development, then that is their loss.

Like I said, the tool is great, and I completely understand the difficulty in developing something like it. I in no way intended to rip on your work, so I hope there are no misunderstandings here. My criticism was intended to be constructive. :)

Wee, peace and love mate :D

I had some difficulty when writing the post, as I was afraid my post could be seen as directed at you. Anyway, just the first part was, the rest is more a general announcement/explaination :)

And sort that VM requirement for mirrors will ya :D ...

[sky_line 11]

Six-updater is really a great thing! I've got version 1.8 but looks like there is already 1.9 So if I want a brand-new version, should I uninstall the old one first? Could you provide more information about how not to loose all the saved ACE updates by updating the program, please?:)

[sickboy 13]

I will get to that, but I don't think that will be within the next 2 weeks.

The real issue is a missing native windows version of rSync. There are many variants, but only Cygwin's implementation is afaik 100% compatible with the official.

But many reported stalls when downloading from cygwin rsync servers :|

Linux hosts don't require VM. But in any case VM is the keyword of todays technology, though I respect everyone's opinion and wishes.

Running a VM as opposed to manually hosting, also brings this:

• Isolation
  
• Increased security
  
• Increased manageability, especially resource management
  
• Ultimate ease: Install, Start, Done
  
• 100% matching configuration, setup, etc.
  
• Flexibility; Switch server, or reinstall your server, reinstall VM software, start your VM again.

The console application uses six-updater.yml to perform it's actions.

The web-client uses db\production.sqlite3. Making backups of those will keep you safe :)

Dear Lord, could please finally someone explain me how to use the Loadmaster feature? Which of the Guys in the Chopper (Venom) is the Loadmaster? Pilot, CoPilot, Captain, Door Gunner? I tried all of them but it doesn´t work with W or S key

[jasonnoguchi 11]

^.. Does venoms even have loadmasters?? Loadmasters serve in transport helos not attack helos. from the documentation, it seems like the crew chief and the door gunner have better chances as loadmasters.

[Tonci87 163]

The Venom is the sweet little Transport Chopper with the gatlins on both sides. But I can even figure it out with the Knighthawk

[jasonnoguchi 11]

I'll be damned.... the good old Maddox helo...sigh... I must be getting old...

Ok i have no idea where to put it, so i best stick it in here, Since the update of ace (yesterday) some of the magazines have lost there 'text' IE 'm109 magazine' is not next to the m109 magazine icon.

Its probably been reported already, but thought id attempt to 'help' the cause.

I was never around for ACE1, But you really do change the game with this addon, We just dont need anything else now.

Thanks for ur time and effort!

Glad you're enjoying and tnx for the report.

It was already reported, and fixed: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/6682

Next update will include it.

The doorgunners on most of the choppers can use the loadmaster feature, should be the W key.

Does nothing happen at all?

Try again, if you still can't get it working make a report on the issue tracker.

It's been reported and possibly fixed :)

Stay tuned for today's update.

SB! :936::p

If you find anything in the future, take a look at the issue tracker and report it :)

Lol.. despite Jman, I am not an IT person at all. It is my hobby. If you wanna talk finance-planning-ERP-6Sigma though I'm your guy :) .. hell it took me a 2 hrs to write & test that 2 line batch file :D .

[cannonouscrash 12]

haha, It was posted by our clans dedicated 'blue on blue' member,

Thanks for a quick reply. If you had only of included cqb sights and bipod stand, you would of made this game great as it is, all the other stuff is just a bonus :-D

[Mizz 10]

Not an error. It tells you the mirror it is trying is full atm, and it will automatically try the others.

If that doesn't function properly, please check: http://dev-heaven.net/news/show/239

After many houres of headeac and no more hair on my head, I got through six dl, installation and update only to get this when I start game:

"Error compiling pixel shader PSTreeAdv:0" and then game closes down.

Is it a dl failer or what.

Still remember the good old days whit a readme where you should take this file and move it to this and that.

Well, maybe one day I get to terms with SIX, or else I have to be with out ACE hehe.

[VKing 12]

Read the FAQ

[Mizz 10]

yes i know that it isnt an error . and i followed this step mention in link you gave but still 'server reached maximum connections'

Will you boost server capacity Sickboy?:)
