Great thanks Blackheart, I will check this out. Much appreciated.

I cannot see a way to respawn and have my loadout I selected at main base when starting a mission? I see on some multiplayer maps there is a save option under open, which I have selected and saved, but this isn't always available and preferred loadouts don't appear, This is currently a really frustrating part of generally very slow multiplayer sessions. This makes it much more painful. Please allow easy respawn with loadouts Thanks JAS

lol, 40 and I know what you mean. Have asked for an aupair, but we have no kids so that failed the board meeting :( .. any tips welcome.

Hi Is there a helicopter in Arma 2 that allows the pilot to control the gun sight with his head movement. i.e. wherever I look, the machine gunsight will follow the centre of my vision, instead of remaining fixed dead ahead. I think I saw a video clip on youtube showing a pilot firing the machine gun off out of his left window at troops on the ground. Anyone advise me which helis I can do this in ? Many thanks Jasooon

Some had a slight delay , kind of surprised delay, but generally seemd a lot smarter than Arma 1.

errr, without the sweat, but here goes. The problem with close combat in Arma 1, as we all know, is it feels a little clunky at best. Arma 2 was much smother in action. I was concerned whe I saw early videos of Arma 2 last year, that the running motion seemed to sway a great deal, but this seemed to be less so on the version I played. The improved animations from reload and aiming, to running and turning, along with the better fps, made the experience much slicker. Dare I say, with almost the feeling BF2 gave, but still requiring skill with aiming and timing, so not arcade like. The injured and death sequenece was nice too, as blood flows to the head you get motion blurring and redness on screen to simulate dizziness and fainting. The extra detail all around definietely adds to the experience too. Hope that helps a little. Not long now and we will all have our mits on it. Cheers Jason

I asked James from BI this question at the press launch in London and he said the radnomly generated landscape beyong the 225 sq km will have the same detail with towns and roads, etc. Every new gaming session will have a new random landscape generated, but all players in the same session will see the same detail as everyone else, so continuity is retained. Arma 2 felt great to play. Especially playing close combat which really pleased me. Cheers Jason [TG]

guess I should post this here as I cannot find it discussed anywhere else. Why can I only fire rockets as a pilot in the AHZ when selecting manual fire? Before ACE it was possible to fire canons, rockets and hellfires, now I can only fire rockets ? Any chance we can have this back, as trying to control an ai gunner to fire as wanted is just too painful and random. Thanks JAS

Sorry but that does not qualify as a legitimate international update. So not buying it. Reckon another faction category will be revealed soon. They are just teasing us like little lap dancers. Wave your money boys, let em have it

Has anyone heard any more on the rumoured release date of 20.02.09. Peter Games (aka. Morphicon) says 20.02.09 and they released it first last time. Strange there is no big build up, but if I remember right it was the same with OFP all those years ago. http://www.shooterplanet.de/Shooterhaupt.php?id=654 Amazon.de says same date too. Don't want to stir histeria, so soz but just checking if its old news ? Many thanks Jas

Justa quick note to Squeeze and the others modders that help make the OGN crCTI. I really miss the crcti days of OFP and had a look at this after a search around. Played on my own with 1.11 as I can't get into other servers running it at the mo with the 1.11 join bug. Still had a blast. It really does create a dynamic war feeling and had lots of AI surprises. They seem smarter now. Anyway this is just a thanks really as I know a lot of people give want lists and sometimes forget to say thanks for your great efforts. All the best and cu in there one day

aha... thanks. i did indeed click on the arma.exe in the beta folder. Thanks for the tip

I get IFC22.dll was not found error on starting the new beta ? then Arma fails to start

I have Geforce 8800 GTS with 4 gig of Ram on Vista 32 bit using Driver Version: 7.15.11.6375 (or 163.75_forceware_winxp_32bit_english_whql) and it runs good. check this out it mite help you Update for Windows Vista (KB940105) http://www.microsoft.com/downloa....lang=en Thanks Aussie Dave, but this black loading screen is a 64bit issue. Others have reported same issue remains with 1.09 in other reports also on the 64bit OS. Appreciate the hint, but tried all I have come across except the boot menu setup to drop to 3 gig of ram, as this is going too far to have to reboot every time I want to play when it works fine with older Nvdia drivers. I'll keep praying for a miracle jas

Geforce 8800 GTS with 4 gig of Ram on Vista 64 black screen (no graphics loading) problem still here in 1.09. Before I get flamed that Vista is not supported of which I am aware. I am trying to make sense of the fact Arma 1.08 and 1.09 do work with the old Nvidia drivers upto 1.58.45. Every nvidia driver since has stopped Arma from working. It worked with the hardware and Vista 64 OS once, why can't it work with the new Nvidia drivers ? Regards Jas
