I've been waiting for Black Baron to release his UFO, and OMG its sweet. Well worth the wait IMHO. Black Barons I just finished giving this baby a test run and IMHO its sweet! The unique sounds are sweet, like the alien engine and the laser fire  And you can actually turn it invisible!  You can't see it on the map or in plain view.  Its totally invisible!  I liked the neat cursor he made for the laser sight  And it can carry 40 people! Even though some of you may not think it has a place in OFP, I still think he did a great job on it and its pretty sweet IMHO. Hope he doesn't mind me posting his release of it on here. Edit: ScreenShots External View Internal View Now you see it! Now you Don't!

I have the US Retail DVD of ArmA. First time I downloaded the 1.08 patch from the list of servers in the 1.08 thread in the news section here, I got an error trying to patch one of sara.pbo files. Even though the were no errors reported when I downloaded the patch. So.... I uninstalled ArmA, reinstalled ArmA and downloaded the ArmaCombatOperations_USRetailandDigitalDistribution_v108_patch from atari's web site. Applied the patch and it worked. So far no errors. It could be the patch doesn't like unoffical addons in ArmA. I had a bunch of addons when I first tried to install the patch.... *shrug*

Confirmed... Unfortunately it doesn't work in MP. Will it be updated for MP? None the less, awesome nuke!

I was very disappointed in the ending. I mean with OFP you had in game cutscenes at the very least. And I thought as well the very last mission in OFP where after the war you drive up to meet your friends that were in the war. I thought that was a nice touch. I wasn't impressed with the narration scenes. Felt cheap, like how EA did in game cutscenes for Generals and Zero Hour! During the last mission when the RACs were attacking I was like cool, maybe there will be more missions, but nope! Here's an interesting theory. What if Torrez wasn't the person attacking in the beginning and it was the RACs dressed up like SLA's and started the whole thing. I mean the civilian even stated the RACs were the ones responsible, something about the king. And the camp wasn't even guarded. Is there actually an option when you get to the camp and talk to the civilians? I remember something about if you wanted to leave and not get involved to hop in the striker, otherwise stay and protect the civilians. I had all my men in the striker and hopped out to talk to the civilians.

I didn't bother walking around either. I just went into the ammo crates in the garage type building, grabbed a sniper rifle and climbed up the building to the roof. You have a nice birds eye view there. The friendly troops in the base are dumb. The enemy walks right up next to them and they do nothing. Saved their AI butts every time!

Ya thats what I did too after I got frustrated. I got annoyed that if I shot even the soldiers outside the base the alarm goes off. I walked up the side of the right mountain. Waited for the UAZ to enter the base, then crawled into the base. After trying to figure out how to satchel the other t72 and bmp with 2 patrols, i just jumped into the t72 next to the houses and went on a rampage. They didn't even attack me in the t72. Once I killed everyone in the base and the other t72 and bmp I satcheled the t72 i was in and boom, mission complete!

I think the mission might be bugged. I managed (after several times) to kill everyone in the base. But for some reason the radio was used yet no one was near it. Even though it told me to run, run, run, I just waited for the reinforcements to reach the base and killed them all. Then me and the saboteur went into the base, and I ordered him to place the satchels. Then got far enough away and BOOM, mission complete. Like I said, I think its bugged because A) somehow the radio was used, yet no one was near it. And B) even though reinforcements were called, the mission wasn't a failure. So if somehow the radio is used, don't sweat it. Just wait for the Ural of reinforcements to come to the base and waste them. Then go in and blow up the trucks! Complete!

I tried what you suggested and it still does the same thing. Its funny that Nvidia is a sponsor of ArmA, yet its seems the problem is with Nvidia cards.

I have the Geforce 7800 GS OC and I can't find either, Ntunes or NVIDIA "PCI MEM MGMT CONTROLLER" anywhere on my system. Â Does it come with the forceware drivers? i'm also experiencing anywhere from 2 to 30 secs freezes.

In the first post, like all the other info? Ok now I feel stupid. Sorry

Where's the link to the 0.6 patch?

philcommando, Is there any plans to make this multiplayer friendly? When me and Hit_Sqd_Zulu tried it out on his test server, there was no animation of the rocket blasting off. But if you try it in single player, in the map editor it works.

I can't wait for the release of this addon. Everyday i check the forums in hopes its released.... but alas...its not...yet...

Lee_H._Oswald Where can i get that addon of the m4 that's in the pic you showed? Also where can I get the desert vehicles that's in your sig or whatever?

Is there a mirror site to download the addon from? Because the site that's posted you can't download the Ch-53e from either of the two links

Lately I've been having really bad FPS while playing OFP. It seems when ever there is a map with a huge armor squad or a large number of troops, my frame rate dies. I have a 128mb Geforce4 TI graphics card, 1gig of DDR mem, 7200rpm hd and 1.5ghz P4. Not the greatest machine, but it should be decent enough to play OFP properly. Any options under OFP that I should tweak to improve frame rate? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but after updating my Nvidia drivers to the latest version, the "additional properties" button is greyed out on the Nvidia tab under display properties->settings->advanced->Geforce tab Anyone else noticed this? Is there a reason why the "additional properties" button is greyed out? I used to be able to click it, but now its greyed out. Even after installing older drivers the option is still greyed out.

I'm using the latest drivers for the Detonator. Where can i get RivaTuner?

*whew* Thank God I search the forums and found this thread! Â OR I would have done the same thing as waffendennis did and lay a beating to my Geforce4 card. I had the same problem, my game would pause/freeze for like 5-10 secs after an explosion! Â For the life of me I couldn't figure out what the problem was! Â I was going crazy! Â I thought it was my Nvidia drivers, so I updated them to the latest ones, but that didn't do it. Â So I kept installing older drivers, and was going crazy because nothing worked! Thank you SkyQuake and others that figured it out it was the crater.pbo addon that comes with the dropship addon

It seems lately that the OFP community is dying out WHich is disappointing since people are making some really great addons. Is BIS still going ahead and developing Operation: Independence Lost? Â I heard the curbed it because they are putting all efforts into VBS? I just hope that if Independence Lost is being developed that BIS takes into consideration the mods/addons people have made and makes sure that all the mods/addons that people have developed with be fully compatible with Independence Lost. Â Personally, I would be super pissed if I was a mod'er and none of the addons I developed were compatible with Independence Lost. Â I mean who wants to start all over from scratch.

Once again, Black Baron has made another original  The Space Shuttle Atlantis The model and texturing is outstanding, very detailed externally and internally! IMHO Black Baron did an amazing job.  Keep up the good work Black Baron, and I can't wait to see what you come up with next Here are some screen shots of the shuttle: http://mitglied.lycos.de/datebase1/OFP/screens/shuttlecockpit1.jpg You can download it at: Black Baron's

How to you get airborne with this mamoth? I've put the shuttle at the very edge of the runway on Nogova's aiport in the desert and can't get it airborne. Even tried with the AI flying. Is there a trick to getting this baby airborne?

Remember is just the first version of it. I'm sure he will change things and improve it He also made a launch pad similar to the one at Kennedy Space Centre, and he has made a Shuttle with the Booster rockets etc. He hasn't released those yet. He's making a Space addon I believe that will include all those

Is it possible to make an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) like the Predator for OFP? Â You can use a building or Humvee to control the UAV by remote? Â It would be like your inside of it flying it, but your on the ground controlling it. Maybe even equip it with 2 hellfire missles? Now that would be a sweet addon IMHO. Â You can have a surveillance mission where you would use the UAV to scout an enemy base or position

aim bot and no fog... Well thought would explain a few things that i've seen. I knew about the rapid fire, unlimited ammo and god mode, but no the aim bot and no fog. I know the "trainers" that people developed for single player also work with mulitplayer That's part of the problem right there. Most "trainers" only work with single player and not mulitplayer. Which would seem that maybe the mp code is weak. Honestly its hard to stop cheating. Someone, somewhere always makes a trainer for a game to cheat. Only thing you can do is kick the person off the server and ban his ID #.
