We've played this mission 2 weeks running now and we're REALLY enjoying it. Our clan also runs the i44 mod, so it got me thinking ... Would it be possible to have an i44 version, i.e. allied troops captured in Chernarus try to escape from a POW camp and must exfiltrate to friendly lines. I can just imagine search lights, German Alsatians and sidecars :D

Although most of the best tips have already been offered by others, you'll find them here in a single post along with a few more. Let us you how you get on.

@Foffy: I'd try these options in the following order: 1. Try these tweaks 2. Overclock your CPU (3.6, 3.8? on stock cooling) 3. Upgrade your GPU (GeForce 570? Radeon 7850?)

I definitely agree with you on this. I can imagine a mission Escape from Chernarus but i44 flavour. No exfiltration by helo, only chance reach the border or ... hijack an enemy aircraft from a nearby airfield!?

Many in Europe remember that B-17s flew high to avoid German flak but that their accuracy compromised as a result (thousands of civilians were killed as a result of bombs missing their targets).

I'd say it was the 10 series of drivers, e.g. 10.9

Try the settings in this post and let us know how you get on.

My F5 key has received an anti-bacterial wipe. I hear they're very effective against tropical diseases. Must remember to get my anti-malarial shots...

If you like Oz forces the check-out the Australia at War mod. IIRC it is ACE compatible and generally considered to be pretty good. There's also a clan that seems heavily involved in the development of the mod. Finally most clans now use the ACRE mod.

I'm hoping that AI will become aware of player voices, depending on their loudness. Now THAT would be awesome, especially for stealth missions.

Basically: 2GB is fine for <1080p even with 4xAA 4GB is fine for higher-resolution, e.g. triple-screen

fredkatz: thanks for the info. No I don't think that the helicopter was in our squad. So that makes sense then. Maybe you should add this msall btu important detail to your readme. I also think that Kremator's suggestion is awesome though it would inevitably unbalance many missions.

I can't wait to try your replacement pack for this v2 release. The BAF weapons aren't bad but PUKF's weapons are bordering on gun pr0n.

OK I must be missing something here because I can't get it to work. The main problem seems to be that I cannot ever select a helicopter from the drop-down menu entitled "select heli". Do you have to do something in particular? Or does the mission have to be specially coded?

Interesting. Very interesting. BTW are you running the latest beta? i.e. 90242 Also are you running the ASR AI mod?

OK thanks. I guess that my friends who are stuck on A2 (misers) will have to realise that all the best mods now require OA ;)

Well stone the crows it's in the readme: Version 1.2 ----------------- -Added a dialog to control helicopters -Added a dialog to control airplanes -For ACE Users added the dialogs to the self interaction menu -For Non ACE Users can change the key in the Heli_Extras_Settings.hpp Userconfig file (default is Left Windows Key) - if no key is selected, it will default to Left Windows I can't wait to try this tonight with the fast-roping mod.

An ACE-free version would be brilliant!

Excuse me but was there ever a version that was compatible with A2? Over on Dev Heaven I saw several versions from 1.7 to 1.14

I second Kremator's motion, many of us don't use ACE so an ACE-free version would be more compatible. And requiring CBA isn't a major issue as it seems to have become prerequisite for most serious mods these days (i44, ASR, ACRE, ACE, etc.). As for accessing the GUI, I think an entry in the main menu might be a little over-bearing so how about the radio command. IIRC it's 9 for comms then 0 for custom, right? BTW are there any plans for a auto-exec version?

I can't wait to try this. I'm guessing it won't be long before I'm singing its praises to my clan too!

Really looking forward to this. Lemme know if you need a half-decent voice-over

D4mn right. Times are hard for my family and but I can definitely scrape a few euros for a fine chap!

Leon86's right, Benchmark 02 is very CPU-dependent. You're much better of bencharking with OA. Especially if you're running the 1.6 patch, better still the latest betas. I'm very interested in seeing your resuls ---------- Post added at 23:31 ---------- Previous post was at 23:29 ---------- I'll see if I can't contact them about that. I'm guessing that it might make a fairly significant difference but not in the overall rankings. I feel your pain re card prices so I'll prolly go with cheap 7850 and overclock the nuts off it so that it runs like a 7870 or faster.

cj: scroll down to the bottom of this page to get your answer. But what do you mean by "though version a little dated now" ?
