Exactly how does ACE change the helicopter autorotation system? I just found a rather glaring problem in either the vanilla flight model or ACE's changes.

Auto-rotation works well when you do it right, but if you lose power when hovering, you don't have to press any key at all to land safely. I ran out of fuel at 1000 feet and took my hands off the keyboard to watch my helicopter drift gently to the ground. No touching of the throttle was necessary and I could not make myself fall faster.

I just saw that I dont get any new userconfig file after I download new patches for ACE2. Is there any solution for this since I get messages ingame about that. I just download the patches like usual with the six updater, but the userconfig doesnt change and is from january.

Look in your arma2 dir, @ACE\store

copy the new userconfig-files there to userconfig\ACE and edit ace_clientside_config.hpp to your liking.

Swinging back to the hellfire issues - looking at the bug log on dev heaven, sickboy has closed the ticket with:

•Status changed from Feedback to In progress

•% Done changed from 80 to 90

I think i've tackled most of the issues, for upcoming update.

When player is gunner, LOBL and LOAL should work now as advertised, incase of apache, if laser designator is off, longbow radar is used, and you need to right click lock-on targets.

When player is pilot, he should be able to designate targets in AH64 for the gunner due to Longbow Radar, but in AH1 I am not sure yet. The issue is probably that there is no radar so also no targets to pick from :P

•Status changed from In progress to Closed

•% Done changed from 90 to 100

I am closing this for now.

Please try the system in the update later today.

If there are crucial bugs left, please create tickets for these, and i'll try to resolve them before the official stable release.

If there's still some inconsitencies or things that are supposed to work differently, please create a ticket aswell, this will probably be handled in the next minor release 1.1 though.

Now, I've always used right-mouse click for zoom or sights up. Lock on has always been tab by default. Is this changed in ACE mod, or have people re-mapped their keys, or is this something I didn't know about?

I tried flying a couple of gunships again last night as pilot and gunner, and still couldn't get the damn things to follow a lock. Will try again tonight after fridays update.....

Would really appreciate someone in the know writing a few words of how these new missile systems should work, what all the fire types mean (LOBL and LOAL etc), what keys to use, who can do what etc to get locks and start hitting targets again!

At least it's made me become more used to flying fixed-wings while the gunships have been out of action :)

Keep up the good work, ACE2 team - people are only passionate about getting it all working right as it's such a great set of changes to arma2

I guess I only tried right clicking my targets when I tested.

By default, right mouse button toggles the target nearest your crosshairs.

Tab cycles through available targets.

Dear ACE 2 Dev Team:

I humbly Request the addition of these small arms to your mod:

Hecklar and Koch MP7 and variants

3-mp7_03.jpg

Hecklar and Koch MP5 variants:

-MP5K PDW (personal defense version)

TM%2520MP5PDW-L.jpg

http://www.dreadgazebo.com/gunporn/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/mp5k.jpg

-A4/A5 with Aimpoint sights or Red Dot/Holo Sights

-MP5/10mm version

mp510.gif

http://www.remtek.com/arms/hk/mil/mp5/mp510/mp510.gif

Basically it would boost the SMG content and use in ArmA2 ACE2 mod and boost SFOD's and other specialist soldiers capabilities and add a bit of variety which we all like.

I appreciate you will have to get permission for the MP7 off the creator and that the other weapons I have suggested do not exist in Arma2 will require heavy modding which will take time.

So please let me know if its a "Go", "Maybe" or a "No"

Thankyou for a wonderful mod!

It will be 1.00 when it's stable and ready. It may take an RC4 until it's ready or it maybe next release. When they think it's stable enough it will be v1.00. That's a pretty obvious answer. ;)

The first Release Candidate that we feel satisfied with to brand "Stable" will be the first official Stable release of A.C.E. Released as a setup or 7z. We're close...

Minor version updates, the next one being v1.1.0, are scheduled in 2 months intervals, atm. The RoadMap paints the picture.

DevBuilds will continue on schedule as have been for the past months (possibly with reduction to twice a week).

Anyone who wants to enjoy the latest features in ongoing development, and help us by testing and reporting, is encouraged to (continue to) run the DevBuilds (Next to the Stable version, as they wish).

Improvements :)

I can (as gunner) laser designate targets myself and fire hellfires at them fairly successfully.

In the Apache, I can get a radar lock (as gunner) and fire, and *sometimes* it seems to go to the target. other times, it goes off straight. Doesn't seem to matter whether I select Hi, Lo or Dir(ect?) The Cobra can't lock radar targets at all in hellfire mode. And of course, manual fire as pilot doesn't let you do anything with them.

Right mouse click sometimes locks, but also switches from down sights to 1st/3rd person view, so not much help!

I know, I know, I should register on dev-heaven and report there. This is just easier, and easier to see if others have same issues....

I just upgraded ACE, but I didn't get any new userconfig files. The folder is empty, leaving me with only the old config files from a few weeks ago. So I'm going to get that mismatch error message when I play.

Sorry if this is a frequently asked question (searched the wiki), but how do we disable the ACE-added unit map markers?

Remap your Arma default controls. Lock target and view are under the same button by default IIRC.

It says in the file ArmA2\userconfig\ACE\ACE_Tracking.hpp: "Comment to Disable Group Markers or set to 1 to enable group markers".

This is wrong. Commenting away the group markers line doesn't disable them. You need to change the 1 to 0 to disable the group markers.
