ArmA2: Operation Arrowhead Impressions - ALL OA Impressions/Videos/Screenies Here

Video settings might have to do with it as well. With my Nvidia GTX 260 FLIR was basically black or white. With my Nvidia GTX 470 FLIR is super crisp greyscales with white.

Nod , no I know that I am to expect a greyscale image and do infact get this. What I het is inconsistent. One perp might be grey scaled with different body parts a different shade , others are simply a solid White.

It's a similar story to vehicles ...il post a few pics when I get a chance. Shooting your own side for example results in a strange darkening of the section of their body I hit . Turning their arms to turn black while their body stays White ?

I certainly fldont get the dame contrast volume in game in the background environment.

iPhone typing so excuse mistakes .

\This is simple.

The old arma 2 models don't have the thermal maps. So they pop up all white/black. If you're using combined operations, it will have arma 2 vanilla object and models. It can get confusing once they're joined.

Which models are the new OA ones ?

solid white are hot objects from ARMA 2, not OA

that's because it would mean completely rework all A2 content

Is applying this FLIR goodie to mods on an acceptable level of difficulty?

FRIGGING MEDIC, IM GONA HUNT DOWN YOUR FAMILY!! :mad:

Anyways during this amazing mission i noticed the Freindly AI, were, nothing short of excellent. If you really use the right sort of terrian, and move slowly, only moving when its safe to (basicly not rushing your troops) they work great!. As i moved into multiple engagements they covered there sectors well on two occations saved my skin (Although when i did get hit they couldnt be bothered to gett thier gloves dirty)

Another thing i noticed was the AI's use of cover and concelment. As you can see from the shots below id say it was pretty good, Better than i remember A2 being. :D

This Shot was taken with no contact spotted

Also Mod plz tell me if they are over 100k, im sure thier not but its my first time hosting lol (hence the diffrent Pic sizes

[cole 0]

[SteveJA 12]

Soz, but just to bring my topic to ahead, every OA weapn I try, ie, a TWS one, I get tangos with white or black bodies, I want the gradual white faces and black bodies....aaaah.

I've a feeling it aint down to my gfx card. A Nvidia one , fully patched.

just a side note to the guys who are having issues with thermal image , try to keep 3d resolution at atleast 125% it will make a lot of difference , i hade it b4 at 100% and it was blurry now i put it to 133% and i get a crispy thermal image.

^^^ ah, the Core I 11 - it does do wonders ...;) ....

What distance are you from them?

[cartier90 0]

Well, anything from 50 m to 1500 in a chopper...the thing is some of the AI are as they should be with graduated greyscales (ie some BMP's) others , such as cars are total white...odd

Well the range is going to affect this.

Here is a comparison of what someone from ArmA 2 looks like compared to someone from OA, at close range:

clavicula - why on earth can I not see the figure on the left when I have OA - automatically combined with A2 to be CO.

It's not just the exe you're running, it's the units you are looking at. The thermal texture layer is work BIS did for the OA units only. The old units were not updated. To see the proper thermal image you need to run the OA exe and look at unit that were designed with the thermal texture in mind.

Frederf - thank you , problem solved.

Did you announced to your group leader that you're hurt and need medical assistance?

Operation Arrowhead installer installs the game, it does not tweak your computer nor does it check if all of your drivers are up to date. Based on your hardware it should run well, even on higher than medium settings. If it is not, then with your system is something wrong. How about to spent some time and effort to fixing problems instead of complaining about?

Aim for the head next time.

I like this guy, he's funny :D I'm pretty sure the lag is to do with AI though, I put my settings on very low and mine still lags like a biatch.

Except by the second post I was [:(], TF2 and OFP2 lol.

[^Th0mas^ 10]

Haha, like the AI in Dragon Rising is any better.
