[how to stop C130 from taking off automatically]

create an object infront of the plane via trigger, it will cause it to stop, the object can be anthing but I use the cone. whenever you wish it to take off, delete the object via the trigger.

[ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead & Reinforcements, version 1.59 - Patch released]

I always shudder when one of our new players turns up saying ok guys I'm ready to join your server, and we say did you patch and he says I have the steam version

I dont think this game is playable online or if it was even meant for multiplayer. How can you say so when there's so much lag no matter how fast your connection is. for me I never try online, always in the mission editor.

[Mando Missile ArmA for ArmA 2]

i think it adds extra capabilities such as the ability to lock on to buildings and enemy positions.

[Mando Missile ArmA for ArmA 2]

Hi, I'm trying to install only the Javelin mode but I do not know what to do. all I have is an addon folder containing the files "mando_javelin.pbo,mando_javelin.pbo.defunkt.bisign". when I place these files in my addon folder of ArmA2, nothing happens. how do you go about installing and using this?

[Really enjoying it but...]

Get nvidia cards like GTX 570/580 if you want performance.

[ATTN NOOBIES! - New to ArmA II or OA - Here's the place for your questions]

Hi, I wonder, how can I tell the units in the tank to get away from the tank since its about to explode. they normaly sit not far away from the tank and die when the tank explodes. Can there be a command that tells them to get away from the tank to a save distance?

Hi, I used to have internet at home but no longer do so my question is, is there anyway I can download the scripting commands on the wiki pages of armed assault?

Thanks

[Will my PC Run this? What CPU/GPU to get? What settings? System Specifications.]

I had both Radeon 5970 and 5870. I wonder since Radeon 5970 is suppose to be more powerfull than 5870, how come with 5870 I get 50-51 FPS after benchmarking but with the 5970, I hardly end up with 35 FPS? does this make sense?

[Artillery Support]

can there be real artillary shell landing on the specified target instead of using codes like

"SH_125_HE" createVehicle [_X,_Y,0];

to create explosion.

[ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead discussion thread]

why are you so excited about this upcoming crap? didnt you play ArmA2?

[ATTN NOOBIES! - New to ArmA II or OA - Here's the place for your questions]

Why does multiplayer lag despite your high spec system? in CooP missions, you can see the AI lagging when walking. is Bohemia unable to fix this due to the huge terrains? all of their games have this problem. I have never played the multiplayer but that it lags which makes me not want to play on online at all.

[ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead discussion thread]

The mission designer can choose at what height to set the fleight of the aircraft... Technically, it's always been fixed

No matter what height you set your aircraft to fly, when it starts to attack ground units, it will descend and fly at low altitude and even crash on trees. they also dive to release bomb with very low speed making it very easy to shoot down. it seems this is not fixed in Arrowhead as well.

[ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead discussion thread]

they need to fix the planes flying low when attacking. you could see in the video, UAV flying at 40. this has been since ArmA 1, ArmA 2 and now in OA unfixed? sucks

[How real flying ?]

it's not just helicopters, all aerial vehicles in the game suck. they fly close to the tree lines and crash. jets have to dive to drop a bomb this sucks.

[Aiming]

Someone plz answer the above post

[Aiming]

Hi, I'm using the "commandFollow" and "doFollow" to make a unit follow another unit but nothing seems to be working, whether in via radio or its inits.

do these commands work at all?

[ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead discussion thread]

Are there significant changes that are going to be in Arrow head or just same game with different story line(NEW MISSIONS) happening in Central Asia.

[Aiming]

Hi, how do I keep AI units from boarding into the vehicle. the leader of the unit tells them to board. I want them to walk. the Vehicle I'm tryin to keep them away from also is a part of the unit. I want them to move to a destination without getting in the vehicle.

[Here's how I got ARMA2 to perform smoothly using RAMDISK]

Ofcourse it's expensive so dont get it if you cant.

All of my settings are High and I'm playing on chernarrus. the 5970 is the fastest card and it will improve your FPS.

[Here's how I got ARMA2 to perform smoothly using RAMDISK]

I can run the game @ 60 FPS without doing any tweaking:bounce3:

System

Windows 7 64

Intel Quad Core @ 2.66 MHZ

4GB dual channel memory

HIS Radeon HD 5970

just go get Radeon 5970 and you wont be dissapointed

@ the moment, heat is a problem for this card. better have a good case. I'm idling @ 55 degrees celcius.

[Aiming]

Thank you very much.

Hello, are there any commands that can make an artillery to aim upwards like he's targeting a long distance targets?

[Arma 2 on windows 7]

The reason I'm saying the drivers aren't good is because whenever I open 3D application, it hangs and sometimes crushes and this is due to bad drivers. ever since these GPUs came out people were having issues. Right now I'm using the the 10.1, the latest drivers. I'm looking forward to 10.2 and 10.3........ I hope it will solve the problems.

[Arma 2 on windows 7]

I'm on Windows 7 64 with Radeon 5970.it's awesome. Smooth gameplay. the only problem I have is, the 5970 is new and no good drivers still.
