No, it's fine.

Not sure yet how we will handle it in the future but for now it's ok :)

The T90 certainly has additional armor (ERA for starters)...though in reality if you hit a T90 2x in the same spot with a HEAA, it should crack but I just don't know if we can actually simulate that.

Wouldn't a tandem warhead do just that? I know the Russians are fielding those now, western forces might have some as well.

thx @ace team for today's release :)

one question: for the case I need to call for A2 backwards compatibility, where do the .pbo/.bisign stored in @ace\"store" belong ? First guess is "@ace\addons\"-Folder, is that correct ?

"Backwards Compatibility

As of ACE for OA Beta, previous (ACE for A2) missions became incompatible because of the large cleanup and rebasing we've performed to be able to support both ArmA 2 OA Standalone and Combined Ops users (Changes in ACE for OA),

however for the Final Stable release we have added an optional backwards compatibility config which will make all the old missions work without modification (unless absolutely impossible), while providing you with the full feature set and support of the latest ACE version."

Thank you for this latest release. Great work as always.

For the next update please add a way to turn off the G-force blackout effects and/or a way to set it and give it to other pilot addons.

I opened a ticket at Dev-heaven with your feedback on your behalf. In the future, please do so to ensure your feedback will not be overlooked.

I would ask that you find some type of reference to back up the claim about dispersion and T90 vulnerability.

So far, all I can find is "Exhibits an average hit probability greater than 90% on a 1 x 2 meter target at combat ranges "

- which is a bit open to interpretation...

and "(HEAA) - Attains full penetration of heavy armor from nearly any oblique angle. The High Explosive Anti-Armor (HEAA) rocket is effective against current tanks without additional armor."

- The T90 certainly has additional armor (ERA for starters)...though in reality if you hit a T90 2x in the same spot with a HEAA, it should crack but I just don't know if we can actually simulate that.

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/13754

thanks for the ticket, I was going to do so myself but R/L got in the way at the last minute.

As regards your inquries, the SMAW dispersion is from observed testing by our Assault section in the work up they are doing for the 0351 Training Manual for the 15th MEU. The actual SMAW documents are still classified so we are under some limitations. The effects on the T-90 are from gameplay using ACE.

I have ACE 2 and I'm trying to add a "M110_TWS_EP1" to my soldiers back in a mission, typing the following into the init box (where u add guns to the unit) in the unit dialog box:

_unit setvariable["ACE_weapononback","M110_TWS_EP1"];

It returns a "Local variable in Global space" error if i try to hit ok, thus resulting in my inability to add the gun to the guy's back.

I got this command from the ace 2 features page:

"To add a weapon to a units back :

_unit setvariable ["ACE_weapononback","ACE_M72"];

This will add an M72 Law launcher to _unit's back. Ammunition is added in the normal way and takes up the same slots."

Plz help me, as an AB infiltration mission requires both an AR and a sniper rifle (at least mine does, don't flame the post plz).

PLEASE HELP

Thanks

The problem is _unit, not anything ACE-related. If it's in the unit's init line, you should use this to refer to it, not _unit... Though I strongly recommend using a more reliable loadout script, as changing gear in the init line can occasionally cause problems in multiplayer.

Thanks so much. I'll try a different script if i ever port 2 MP, but right now it's SP (it's my FIRST ever mission). BTW, how would I set up triggers to follow this sequence of objectives:

1. Infiltrate compound (this means i need it to detect when the player is inside the fence of the AB and set a task to complete, plus give the player around 100 pts.).

2. Eliminate the Officers (I have two ppl i need dead, one russian general and one insurgent commander. I need to have a trigger that doesn't fire until those 2 have met their journey's end.)

3. After bad guy 1 & 2 have resigned from their military careers permanently, i need to create an intel object (just a briefcase) which i can place anywhere i choose (in the editor), and set a trigger to check if that has been picked up by the player (this is a "kill the target, retrieve intel and get ur a*s out of there mission.

4. Now it's time for the get ur a*s out of there part - I need to tell the whole squad to move to a spot, then call for exfil using the comms -radio menu.

5. MISSION COMPLETE!!!

Thx so much 4 all the help, I'm a total n00b.

I TRIED THE FIX, and now it works, but the button in the gear menu to switch the gun on the back for the 1 in ur hands is grayed out. i.e. i have the gun but can put it into my hands through the gear menu like i should be able to.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I don't know if this has been reported but it is fairly serious, the new RPK has no firing sound, and after I used it for five seconds IT CRASHED MY COMPUTER!

I am shouting because i was downloading something that was like 5gb's or something and it crashed on about 4.8gb done.

Would it be possible to return right-click to zoom when in the back seat of the Apache, while still having access to the gunner's view? Thought i'd better ask before considering making a ticket.

Just discovered two problems

BMP-2D will not load and texture is missing for BRDM 9P31

Error Messages are:

BMP-2D: "cannot open object x\acex\addons\m_veh_bmp2\acebmp2d.p3d" the vehicle won't load

BRDM 9p31: "cannot load texture x\acex\addons\t_veh_brdm\9p31_01_co.paa"

I just put them in the editor in utes as empty vehicles

Can't make a ticket atm as i am just about to leave for work

I am using combined ops with latest 311 beta for OA and latest ace rc6 plus hotfix
