I downloaded the island and mission as posted above, but no joy trying to run it. The island and mission are in my list but it doesn't load.

What do you mean by this, do you have a screenshot? It's the custom face texture being mis-aligned, parts of it appear on the helmet and hands instead. Also the viet face textures have a face within a face. Like This

The server has probably prohibited players running any mods from joining. Check what add-ons you have, any that adjust field of view, rate of fire, recoil etc are often considered 'cheats', although it might also be texture replacements that flag it, although they have little effect on gameplay.

Has anyone else besides me killed themselves trying to push a Vulcan out of the hangar? 5 or 6 good pushes is all you can take in a hummer before you need to repair it, or else it's boom, respawn It's better to use the 5T truck I think

Which file do I include to use the new night-vision without any of the other changes? This is most useful for night flying but I don't have any issues with recoil or the UI so would prefer to leave them unchanged.

Visit the transfer building, it's the small wooden building directly in front of you when you first join the mission. Select "request transfer" from the menu when you're in there, this opens the squad manager. Find your buddy's name in the list of groups then click on 'join group' to send a request to join their squad. They will be sent the request as "Recruit Thermos", which if they accept puts you in their squad as #2 (or the next available slot if they already have AI in their squad). Alternantively, both of you get into the same vehicle. The player wishing to join their buddy's squad opens the 'my squad' menu then selects 'my vehicle' in the squad manager, then clicks on 'join group' next to his buddy's entry, the request gets sent the same way as from the transfer building.

Let us know when you have the test mission ready. My initial testing with Evolution 1.5a under 1.08 has shown the bug. I joined a couple of public servers and the floating Humvee effect was still seen, same as reported before. There goes my theory of the setpos fix sorting it out

I forgot to add that in Evolution, the Repair, Refuel & Ammo trucks are un-affected. Maybe that's something to do with them (presumably) having a setpos script run on them to allow servicing within their proximity? Thanks for the offer of a test mission, CSL. Presumably this would have to be run on a dedi server though? Perhaps the much talked-about setpos fix for MP in 1.08 will fix this problem for us though? We should know later today

Just to clarify that the server Spectre and I were playing on is ArmA V1.07.5157, running Evolution 1.5j. It's not my server so I can't comment on it's packet sizes & BW etc, but I can find out if you think any of those might make a difference.

Use ATI tray tools instead of catalyst control centre http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=733

check it out with 1.07 beta. i have the 1.07. it loads and crashes to destop with this mod. You don't need to move the files, just extract the @ace_everon folder to your ArmA directory then modify your shortcut.

If he's not, I am, and certainly I'm not alone, so you should do it anyway

Nice work A couple of issues though, roads don't show up in the editor screen or on the in-game map, and some town names are mis-spelled.

Well Panzer, I took a look and how I read it, it's pretty clear the fins pop out for increased drag, just what you need at low level. Of course, you can always release the package as a beta and wait for the posts to flood in telling you how you got it wrong, or you can accept that Shashman and I are right, and we we're only trying to save you the embarrasment. I might look into this
