Yeah, I see what you mean...I wouldent wanna be near that fucker when it goes off. ...I was refering as to how it would work in-game. Is that how you intend it to operate? Sounds really promising.

Just out of curiosity, how will it work?

Holy s***!!! Get that baby skinned ASAP!

I've been using digital vibrance on my GF2 MX for some time now. It brings out the colour and makes the textures look really crisp. Anyone not using DV should do so... top stuff. *Edit* FYI: The DV option is located under the 'color correction' tab in the additional properties section. Thats: RIGHT CLICK>PROPERTIES>SETTINGS>ADVANCED>GEFORCE>ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES>COLOR CORRECTION

I did not vote because all of the above aircraft are unsuitable for OFP.

Thanks for your help, Kamox.<span id='postcolor'> You could try looking on the cover disks from magazines. They usually contain patches and updates.

I would imagine that the Intel video controller is not compatible with OFP. Why don't you buy a graphics card? Or, it could be that your swap file is too small. It needs to be at least 400MB. ( I was told by Codemasters support that errors in OFP.exe are usually memory related i.e swap file) If you have any CD burning programs installed or running in the background - remove them. They can create access violations which cause CTD's. Check your motherboard type. If it's a VIA motherboard you must get the latest drivers because they are known to cuase problems. Thats all I'am able to offer. Good luck.

But if you look at the radar masts on the Tarawa and compare them to the Independence Lost carrier - they look roughly the same. Notice the two funnels and the sqaure shaped radar mounted on the rear of the tower. Look familiar?

I beg to differ Jamesia - but I THINK it's a Tarawa Class amphibious assault ship. arf

...and the pics: Perry Class: Krivak II

I'd want an 'Oliver Hazard Perry Class' Frigate. Along with it's Russian counterpart the 'Krivak II Class'.

1.42 is just fine for me

I drove the jeep in the demo, which I crashed into a tree and wrecked. My first vehicle in the retail was the M1A1 in "Heavy Metal".

- Somtimes the tank turrets will not move while looking  through optics in gunners position. Can be solved by getting in and out of the tank. EDIT: I have managed to reproduce this bug. It happens when the tank commander is 'turned out'.

It probably reset your preferences. Launch it again and click autodetect and then reconfiguire the advanced options. As for the 30 round PK and the silent SVD - I would just do a clean install of OFP & RH. Sounds like something f***** up bigtime during the red hammer install. Did you have anything other program running during the install? If so, that might corrupted it. And if that dont work you've got a dodgy CD, just get it replaced.

Yes, but OFP is more of a conflict simulator. It's irrelevant how often if was used, or if it was used at all. The sheer fact that it existed, warrents it to be in the game.

I seroiusly doubt anyone will have access to the code. It's a utility NOT an SDK. BIS know what happens when people like XMP.de get hold of SDK's.

And BIS won't release an SDK becuase they don't want other developers getting hold of their code.

No..beleive me we do think it's important! It's just that we get polls like this EVERY DAY!

Idoits! we don't need a UH-1 Huey for two reasons. Have you seen the VBS1 screeny's? Well if u havent, there is already a Huey made. And it'll most likley be in this "expansion" that Codemasters keep raving on about. BUT thats just a GUESS, so DON'T go running around screaming that we've got a Huey! The other reason is becuase we DONT NEED a frickin huey!! We gotta UH-60 Blackhawk already..which is BETTER than a huey FFS! Plus, the last thing we need is ANOTHER West chopper. They already have 6 choppers for crying out loud! We need an Mi-28 or a Ka-50...nuf said.

Or what about the Mi-28 Havoc? That would make a great edition to OFP. Tempted? Armament: ---------- "The Mi-28A has small sweptback mid-mounted stubwings with four suspension units. Countermeasures pods are mounted on the wingtips. The helicopter can be armed with a mixture of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, unguided rockets and podded guns. The Mi-28N Night Havoc is armed with Shturm and Ataka anti-tank missiles supplied by the Machinery Design Bureau, Moscow Region. Up to 16 anti-tank missiles can be mounted on the helicopter. Shturm is a short-range radio command-guided missile. The Ataka missile's guidance is by narrow radar beam and maximum range of the missile is 8 km. The missile has a tandem shaped charge warhead for penetration of 950 to 1000 mm armour. The helicopter can also carry four containers each with twenty 80 mm unguided rockets or with five 122 mm rockets. The helicopter can alternatively carry containers with grenade launchers, 23 mm guns, 12.7 and 7.62 machine guns, aerial bombs and incendiary tanks. The helicopter is equipped with a turreted 2A42 30 mm cannon, stabilised in two axes, with a muzzle velocity of 1,000 m/sec." -----------

I'm tellin you BIS. The Ka-50 would be the shit for multi-player!! Jesus!! Armament: ---------- "A combination of various armaments to a maximum weapon load of 2 tons can be selected according to the mission, including anti-tank missiles, unguided aerial rockets of different calibres, air-to-air missiles, guns, bombs and other weapons. The helicopter has small mid-mounted wings fitted with four underwing suspension units and wingtip countermeasures pods. Up to 12 Vikhr supersonic antitank missiles can be mounted on the helicopter's two underwing external stores. The laser beamriding Vikhr missile is stated as having a target hit probability close to one, against a tank at a range of up to 8 km, and the capability of penetrating all types of armour including active armour up to 900 mm thick. The Ka-50 is armed with a 2A42 quick-firing 30-mm gun which has an unrestricted azimuth and elevation range mounting for use against airborne or ground targets. The gun is equipped with 460 rounds of ammunition, two types being carried, high-fragmentation and explosive incendiary rounds and armour-piercing rounds. The pilot selects the type of ammunition in flight. The weight of the ammunition is 0.39 kg each round, the muzzle velocity is 980 m/s and the range is up to 4 km. The gun provides an angular firing accuracy of 2 to 4 mrad." ---------- reference from http://usairforce.8k.com/ka-50.htm

I like this idea. I can see the amusement already, especially for MP.
