Playing JCOVE Lite makes me want VBS2, but I doubt they sell to civilians and I don't have like $2000 to blow on it.

They sold VBS1 to civilians, but believe me, if you have no professional reason to use it, ArmA is the better choice for you. After all, even if you are a devout ultra-realism fan you want at least some form of fun. But neither ultra-realism (as in the most perfect representation of units, etc.) nor fun are among the goals of VBS. Instructor led training for sometimes very boring (but important) real world scenarios like guarding checkpoints, convoy escort training, etc. or preparation for actual missions (with real terrain data) are its main uses.

And buying it just to be able to brag about it, well, if you have that much money I should inform you that I have a very nice bridge to sell... a real bargain actually!

:p

Maybe the topic title "VBS2 lite" should be renamed "JCOVE lite"

JCOVE is not ment for internet, its ment for classrooms.

It's irrelevant what everyone thinks. JCOVE is supposed to be used on LAN, hence most probably their won't be a (dedicated) server for it. Atleast BISim won't add it just because a couple of gamers want it. Sound harsh but let's face it: The gamers are not the JCOVE target audience.

Never a truer word was written.

Does JCOVE have the lasers that are going to be in OA?

As mentioned before if not mistaken, JCOVE only comes with UK non laser-equiped guns. So i'm affraid you won't see them in JCOVE (doesn't mean the engine version/build of JCOVE doesn't support it).

Now i have a "No entry'.profilePathDefault" message and it wont start. :s

Probably an issue with your target line. Make sure that it's how it should be.

Your copy of JCOVE was deleted, you have to reinstall it. Better don't shoot if you don't know what you're shooting at ...

@Laser: LRF is in JCOVE, also the Apache should be able to laser designate targets. Some vehs are a bit bugged, though. What lasers are you talking about?

Hi ricbar89

JCOVE Lite is aimed at the UK Army and UK Army recruits. The UK Army does not like soldiers who shoot their own side.

In the training missions if you Blue on Blue the program uninstalls it self.

Any other questions?

Kind regards walker

Ricbar, did you hear that Alt + F4 enables the 3d real-time editor, too?

Erm its not a joke, i checked program files and the game is gone, apart from a few files left over.

It actually lagged for a couple of seconds then quit before giving me a message how the MOD takes it very seriously.

Of course it's no joke. JCOVE is about serious gaming and in such an environment you just don't shoot at your comrades. Or in other words: It's not a game. ;)

Well it sounds rather ridiculous to me :)

And rather sinister, in it's way. How many other programs, "serious" or otherwise, decide to petulantly uninstall themselves because you did something ostensibly allowable in the program, but that the devs simply didn't like?

If they did it as a joke, that'd be one thing. If they did it as a serious consequence to an ingame action, that's straight in the nerd bin ;)

It was the first thing I did on the range, and I didn't get any problems restarting the game. Of course, I usually quit everything I can with alt-F4 instead of going through the menus, so maybe it skipped a step and didn't record my fratricide.

If i recall correctly when you are given the brief for the range there is some kind of warning about the how MOD takes it seriously, i cant remember what it says and if it hints there might be consequences, or i might just be wrong, perhaps you guys with a working install might let us know. :p

To be honest i wasnt paying attention, apart from a quick look i was straight into the editor.

I slaughtered the entire custom range in a brief moment of boredom last week, game still working like a charm.

Anyway, I cant seem to select the highest resolution because anything over about 1280:1024 makes the screen go outside the "borders" of my monitor.
