After installation last SIX_Updater_Suite_v0.7.3_setup.exe I have only GUI updater shortcut. How can I start updates without web interface how it was in previous versions?

Possibly check the Start Menu and create a shortcut for the Six Updater Console. When in doubt, check the main directory that was installed for the Six Updater Suite. ;)

Do you need a external soundcard to properly use the HIFI sounds?

Why do you think you would have to use/buy an "external" (aka soundcard in a box outside the pc) to run HiFi? The only thing AFAIK to get the best out of Mark's soundmod is to use a Xfi card to really feel the bass etc. But cased external soundcard is not needed. They are for producing music etc with (minimal noise/disturbance).

Just go for it man! :) Remember to not load ACEX_SM if you only want HiFi or pick'n'mix and use both at the same time. HiFi is modular. ;)

I suspect the armor system still has loopholes, specifically regarding crew damage.

In my T-72A I played a mission while merrily shrugging off RPGs and 30mm cannon rounds, only to be killed (I, the driver) by my own HEAT FRAG shrapnel, the splash damage from a collapsing building, and (I think) friendly fire .50 caliber rounds hitting the back of my turret.

I had more freak deaths than combat deaths overall.

Tank to tank combat is still glorious, and the reloading was worth it.

Is this corresponding to real life that 3 rpg shots (rpg7r) are not enough to kill a bmp?

what do you consider "killed" ? cause with new damage system a tank could just look fine, but all crew is dead or turet is disabled

Adding your arma2.RPT right away quickens the whole process a lot. Please do it :)

The second most important thing is trying to reproduce the issue WITHOUT any other additional mods (only CBA, ACE and ACEX) and making sure you are up2date. Possibly in a simple new test mission)

I mean it is still shooting at me and moving!

I've setup a ticket incl test mission: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/9329

Please reproduce the issues with that mission and attach your rpt so we can trace what the issue is probably caused by.

Heh it was still shooting at me like it just rolled out of the factory lol..

Something isn't right i'm afraid.. :(

I think the hellfires are exploding above the T72 instead of hitting it on top.

What's up with that?

Added test mission to the ticket: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/9326

Works just fine. Are you sure you're not referring at T90 with Shtora anti Missile system?

That's what I was wondering. I think he's trying this against the T-90 Shtora, not the T-72. I've been trying to reproduce this with the T-72 and I just couldn't stop killing it. I probably shot at 50 T-72s and everyone of them was blown to oblivion.

I'm certain it's a T72 mate, i played Operation flashpoint for years so i know what it is :)

I will try the test mission now, let you know what happens.

You put me in the gunner position, i was talking about when the AI is the gunner..

How do you even lock something as a gunner?

I'm pretty sure that's explained here already.

Not to be rude but i don't really care about gunning atm, my problem is that the AI gunner makes the hellfire missles explode above the tank (in the air) instead of hitting it on top.

It's all good. I woulda told you but I haven't tried as gunner yet. I'm curious to see what you find out.

Well if i gun it seems to be working as it should..

When the AI guns it's still the same though, maybe AGM-114K hellfire 2 isn't supposed to be used against armor but against infrantry?

It explodes in the air so maybe it's airburst?

EDIT: apparently not..

AGM-114K Hellfire II

* Target: All armored threats

* Range: 8,000 m (8,749 yd)

Seriously can someone try flying a chopper with this missle and have the AI gun and see what happens?

Sometimes the missle hits and the target is destroyed but 8/10 times it just explodes above it and does nothing..

Added the same test mission now with AI as gunner, http://dev-heaven.net/issues/9326

Targets are destroyed, no matter if I use 114K or 114L.

Your AI does not hit and destroy targets in that mission?

Added a 3rd mission, where you spectate as Civilian, while AH64 and AH1 ai's are taking down a lot of Armor.

holy shat i can't figure out how to install this :(

why can't there be a simple installer like for Arma1???

anyway - ... i followed these steps:

http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/ace-mod2/Lazy

the "optional" download link to whatever doesn't link to anything - its a empty wiki page that doesn't offer anything

The "vanilla" download link does not work at all.

Can't download anything from this webpage:

http://updater.dev-heaven.net/main

Download this. Install it. Run "Six Updater - GUI" as administrator. When the browser window opens up, click "Main". Make sure" ACE2 - Vanilla" is selected in the dropdown list. Click "Execute".

With my experience with the ACE2 wounding system, I seem to only ever need bandages, morphine and epinephrine.

Can someone tell me where, why and when I would need to use plasma, tourniquets, IV bags, large bandages etcetera?

I've done some searching but I can't find any good results. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know they're purely place-holders and aren't activated yet.

Awesome - thank you!

That should be put where the install instructions are located on the first page - helps the brain dead, like me :).

I'll test the AI gunner mission now but i don't have much hope.
