A.C.E. Advanced Combat Environment - Public Beta *2*!

[Franklin 0]

I agree with the side that says include more content, and let the mission makers tailor it. However I am not part of the ACE dev team, just a fan of the mod, and those who make it. I wouldnt have even put in my two cents had this not touched on a mod that I personally would wish to be added, the A duke's helo pack. However i say that with discretion...

I dont know what the Dev team has up their sleeves as far as new models to be put into ACE, but when i see the little birds being removed from the mod "because there isnt any other 160th SOAR equipment." I makes me directly think of the A dukes helo pack. Its a quick fix to add that equipment to the 160th's arsenal (minus an mh-60 DAP or the even better AH-60) and give the people who want that type of equipment a quick fix, and to also increase overall content. But instead of adding that, the alternative is to remove equipment due to a lack of other equipment. Unfortunatley the same could be said for the nice new Apache... there arent any Kiowa warriors, or MH-60s in ACE either, so by the logic used to remove the little birds, shouldnt the apaches be removed too? Obviously thats ludicrous, and would be moronic to do that. However the mod does need MH-60s just as much as any other specialized helicopter, since there is no good medium lift helicopter for the army units that are already in the mod. The A dukes helo pack could solve quite a few problems all at once. its a good quick fix for several problems... it would seem like the smart thing to do.

However if they are planning on implementing new models for the little birds, as well as introducing nice new models for all the different types of crash-hawks out there, then i can see why they wouldnt opt to bring in A duke's mod before hand. It would simply be more config work for them, and more errors to track down and fix in the long run. so by removing the little birds now, they can close out any errors related to those models, and then introduce all the new toys at once. we will all be grateful for the cool toys, and will forget that they ever took away the little birds the day after the new stuff is released.

However if they dont have some cool new models almost ready to be released, then i would have to stare in stupor at the decision to remove a highly popular piece of content, with no good estimate of time as to when a replacement would be added.

[clawhammer 10]

Yup, I don't understand why everyone wants contents made by other authors to be "added to ACE" at all. There is no need to as long as there are no conflicts between the mods. It makes no sense for ACE to simply become a collection of other people's mod. ACE should have their own direction and flavor.

Thats the reaseon why iam lucky that ACE² comes in different packages, if you dont want 100 Addons drop the ACEX mod folder. I like the idea to have an big Addonpackage that allows you to play good mods online :bounce3:

I don't think the Apache is part of ACE, it came with the new 1.5 patch. So why should the ACE team remove that? But I agree that there seem to be no good reason to remove the Litte birds. They could have just put more SOAR stuff in when it was ready if they thought having just the Little birds was illogical. Why the rush to remove them? They could have been left in while we wait for the new stuff.

The Apache is BIS made and we just put it in the proper faction (US Army) like we did with other units. Why don't have a little patience and wait for the proper pilots of US Army, 160th SOAR? The only problem I see here is the addiction to addition. Majority in here gives a fuck about the work we put in there - you just want new addons. Go and download them but stop bitching in here.

I think ACE already contains a huge amount of amazing stuff. If even more things will come in the future, that's really great and I will be very grateful when it arrives. And even though this thread contains a lot of complaints sometimes, we all appreciate all the hard work you are putting in for free just to bring us all this great stuff.

I just don't see the point in removing something that is already released and that a lot of people enjoy playing with.

Didnt you read above? LB's are coming back...

King Homer and all of you in the ACE team, you know we love this mod guys even though there is bitching from time to time from all of us. whenever i bitch personally its just cause i love this mod do damn much. :) You beat the ones you love? Ehh that sounded weird. I meant - the things you love the most you tend to bitch and moan about because you care a lot. The things you dont care about will not get much attention from you. Some bitching is wrong, but with an official thing like this that will always happen unfortunatelly.

I think we just dont want anything "bad" to happen to the mod. :) ACE is always loaded in my modline wich says something about how awesome it is!

Again, thanks guys for the awesome work you do and share.

just a word. I'm new on the forum but not new about modding comunity in general(GTRracing sim for example).

it's clear for me that ACE is a big,deep,complex work in progress mod. it's constantly updated,near bug free and when something is broken in a time of hours checked and repaired.

I'm not aware of anything like that.

I think that is simply amazing.

and I forget this very hard work is for free.

I just don't understand all that "...where is my little bird...???"

sound comic,no?(played down!)

ps:sorry for my terrible english.

Your english is good and your absolutelly correct. Thanks for adding what i wanted to write as well. Im not good with written words. :)

[JSj 12]

I know that, and it's not that big deal for me. I just can't see any reason why they were ever removed in the first place.

[Alex72 1]

They said that already my friend. Read the posts before you. They are re-designing to match 160th SOAR. Pilots and all. So when they add them back they will be PROPER gear instead of having generic pilots etc. Plus more aircrafts will come to fit the section.

[JSj 12]

Yes, that sounds great. I look forward to that, and appreciate the work they are putting in on the SOAR stuff.

But again, what would have been the problem of leaving the old ones in until the new stuff is ready? But like I said, it's not a big deal, just pointing out that it was a strange decision they made.

[Alex72 1]

He wondered what it is Sickboy. Not where it is.

Tired this morning? :) ;)

Take a look at what I actually describe, and you will see that it answers any questions you might have about what SIX is.

[Alex72 1]

[soupdragon 10]

Well said bud. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Welcome and enjoy!

just something i noticed that im not sure if its a bug or if its intentional but every soldier in "AE US Army" has an m4 with Red Dot, when i say all that is to say all that used to have an m16. Snipers and shotgun riflemen are still fine but eveyr single rifleman or corpsman or watever has an m4 with red dot. any thoughts?

Well actually there was an issue at hand people complaing about the loadout of US Army soldiers. Afair the majority wanted the soldiers to carry M4A1's with AP and the TL/SL M4A1 with ACOG?

[tobmic 10]
