It is already out... I am playing it now...

I find direct chat very handy. It provides direction, and ability to chat to ppl not in your group without annoying the whole side. Shouting between buildings, during fire fights would be nice. Yes it will be open to abuse but it is the job of the admin to police and filter out the tools. I guess the another option would be just to increase the zone of Direct Chat and lower the drop off rate versus distance. either way it needs tweaking.

just make sure you get it with the Pro-Tracker..not the reflectors that clip to a cap.

push more on-line purchasing... to cut down on the middle man and increase returns.

The current economic troubles are starting to hit the games Distributors Down Under. Australian Capcom, Konami distributor Red Ant goes under from... URL=http://www.aussie-nintendo.com/?pageid=article&t=15124]Aussie Games[/url] Red Ant distributed Arma. This trouble will spread so I hope we have a plan B....

it is linked to ACE. Next time try relaunching the game  in-local mode and do not use world=empty This fixes it for a number of ppl... good luck..

can you highlight the searched word/s in the Thread Search ...thanks...

Does not matter what but if you want to make people get that OFP feel again, I believe it was the fact no game had all the features and the ability OFP does. Now AA was pretty much a revamped OFP, with not that many additional features. So no real new fell to it. I think Features would be a bigger hit and give it that "new and interesting" feel... good luck.

one word..awsome. Now I know why AA did not feel as good as OFP. It was the lack of extra features. ACE has added to AA what it should of had at the start. thanks guys..

after zipping around in a Real Chopper Sim.. the flight models need a large tweak.. At least... More Tail Rotor authority and descend faster would be the 2 main issues.

strange... as mine works fine. I have 8gig. Vista 64 sp 1. and 4870x2 with ATI Driver 8.12.

I did not realised how used to the FOV (track ir bug) I had become... please add a customiseable feature for people who have rather large monitors..

Hi Philljc I am running the following.. Vista 64 sp 1 E8600 8 GB Ram 4870x2 and after first applying the patch I still got the black screen. I was using ATI Catalyst 8.11. So I updated to 8.12, rebooted the PC and hey presto... the game runs without having to use the -windowed option. Thx Bis.. If anything else pops up I will report it. good luck Philljc

too bad there will not be a "Sea State" for the ships that we can land on.

would be nice.. but a little hard to organise that many. I just hope a lot of ppl buy it so I can have at least 32 v 32 or more.

thx for the update... looking great.

Hi Yoma. It might be wiser just to PM suma directly. My guess he has seen your tool or knows or it. If he can help I am sure he will.. it just might not be set in concrete yet.

Of course... Besides, I'm not entirely sure that Vista Home Premium is something to be proud of But not to derail the thread too much: Q6600 @3.0GHz (can't go higher before I buy a new fan) HD4870 512MB vRAM 4GB DDRII RAM @ 1000MHz XP 64-bit Just for the record I built this rig about half a year ago. Before that I was suffering with Athlon XP 2600+ (@1.9), FX5700, 2GB DDRI @ 400MHz RAM... This is just general chit chat... plus I hope this will provide some feedback to BIS on what everybody is using.  I hope I don't to have to run AA2 in windowed mode because I have more that 4 gig for ram.  aka AA.  Plus a ton of use also had to deal with the Fogging issue for months because of the 8800 series cards.  This might help BIS on what to test the game on and what combinations.... so please add what you are using. I don't want this to break down into will it or won't it run argument... just please list what your your machine is. thanks.. no I am not proud I am using vista  ... I just belived the hype about DirectX 10... Â

Are you ready for AA2 ? What are ppl currently using as a gaming machine... Operating System:- Windows Vista Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 6001) Processor:- Intel E8600 Ram:- 8 gig Video:- ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 (2 gig) Monitor:- 22 Inch wide screen / 19 inch 2nd monitor Sound:- Creative SB X-Fi Joystick:- Thrustmaster HOTAS Net Connection:- ADSL2 with 4 meg synch. Keyboard:- G15 Misc:- TrackIR I think I am ready.... are you ?

Now if you want a REAL challenge... Maybe look at sharing the addons among clients aswell as the server. Â So you can download the addons and spread the load across a few machines/net connections.... a tad like torrents... well you got me..a lot like torrents.. good luck...

Since BIS seem to be extremely busy working on AA2. Give a couple fans here a copy of the beta to test and give feedback to the forums. I wold be keen to give a weekly progress update to the hungry crowds. A bit like the dev reports for blackshark.

arrggg!!!! Just been happy with the 8800 finally being fixed... So this time I decided to upgrade to an ATI 4870x2.... Now I have the black screen!!!!!!  Have to run in window mode... which catalyst throttles back in this mode .  just can not win  . Yes I have Vista 64 with 8 gig of ram. Which finally worked fine on Nvidia after months and months of fog!!!!

Programming for multiple CPU’s is nothing new..  The world of simulation (i.e. real flight Sims)  have been doing it for over 20 years. Not only do they program for multiple CPU’s they schedule the use of the CPU's to a more efficient manner.  I.e. they split the simulation into modules (flight dynamics, avionics, ground handling, weather, visuals, etc) and these modules are given certain priorities in the execution.  I.e. some modules get executed every pass and some every 2nd pass, 3rd , 4th etc.  Example:- calculations on fuel usage does not have to be that up to date.  A half second lag is acceptable, while flight dynamics need to be calculated on every pass.  I think it is too late in the life of the game for this type of programming as it would require a complete re-think and re-write.  In time, I guess games will eventually start to venture down this path.

I still think a random campaign maker is what is required... like Falcon 4 or IL2.... Variety is the spice of a good game... or life..
