worked a treat, thanks

I've just re-installed after intalling vista and found that (along with crysis) I can't make a new profile for myself on ArmA. I can click on New and it brings up the create profile screen, but I cannot change the name or enter a squad URL, it won't even let me highlight, or place the typing cursor in the textbox. Even so, I've tried to create a profile called Player1 (or whatever is the default name for a new profile). Once I've created it, if I go to the menu where you can select the profile you want to use, I cannot see any in there, even though I've just created a profile. This is rather annoying as it is stopping me setting up my system properly (have to set everything up every time I start ArmA) Can anyone help? Cheers

Love the new supersonic cracks, they're pretty awesome but the A-10 sound gets very noticiably repetative, kinda like the BIS harrier sound. You guys nailed the harrier sound by making it not have a noticably repetative sound, but I think the A-10 needs a little work. Love the weapon sounds on it though

any news on this mod? I'm eager to get it to try out!

if you look at the notepad on the map (press M) you'll see there are 4 buttons at the top. Click on notes and it'll show you the ranks you need to gain higher ranks and by clicking on the links on that page it'll also show you what each rank unlocks etc. etc. To see the number of points you have you need to use the radio command to bring up the mission minimap. hit 0 - 0 - 0 to bring up the minimap (though take the time at each step to look at all the other options you can choose for future reference). I really don't know what point values are associated with each unit so I can't answer that one. When you hit the right amount of points your rank will AUTOMATICALLY change, you don't have to do a thing. hope that helps

What? First you remind people that it's not a 3-4 person map (the ones that ALWAYS bitch about "it's too hard" and "AI in the zone") and then you say you're gonna dumb the darn thing down to less enemies, etc? That stinks man! that's not what he said ¬_¬ In that particular quote he said that when towns are culled in the current beta, it remembers the units left alive and only respawns them the next time the city is spawned. NOT that in future versions there will be less enemies in each town.

I too have noticed a lack of POW's when clearing towns. I cleared paraiso, somato and cayo on my own on my own server earlier and didnt encounter 1 POW after clearing towns, and not for lack of trying. I searched paraiso for 30 minutes in a BH after it was cleared looking for POW's but nothing. looked for 15 minutes in both somato and cayo and again, nothing. Just gave up in the end and carried on playing

You need to have a "player" unit placed before the editor unlocks the "empty" and "gamelogic" sections I have found.

Is the problem where once no players are near a city and all the AI are no longer culled, the AI resets so that next time it is culled all the AI are all back, even the ones you killed, still present?

just a quick FYI, it's Ortego, not Ortega

I like the sounds of that suggestion

No, I am asking for a short cut to prevent noobs from trashing valuable choppers before they finally realise what the red no-fly zone on the map is for. It doesnt matter how careful a pilot I am if a bunch of ARMA virgins have trashed our entire fleet. That is why im constantly asking for the ability to LOCK vehicles. That would prevent the"noobs, virgins" not to !!STEAL or CRASHING!! the fleet. locking vehicles wouldn't prevent a newbie from getting in one before you do, locking it, then trashing it. it would just prevent them from getting an a vehicle which you are already in control of.

I am also getting problems with my joystick setup like GAU-8 and 70gunner. My config is the same between 1.05 and 1.07b but now I have buttons performing 2 functions (1 of which is unwanted) in 1.07b, but working perfectly in 1.05, for example: button 2 = designate target button 3 = switch weapon however, now (without me changing a single thing) button 2 = designate target AND switch weapon button 3 = switch weapon I also get a conflict with my flaps up and flaps down button which is now controlling my action menu, fire which is now activating stuff on my action menu, and auto hover on which is bringing up my map, which is a shame because the A-10 is so fun otherwise.... *edit* just for reference, my specs are: MSI K8N Diamond Mobo AMD Athlon64 3200+ 1GB Crucial RAM Geforce 6800GT Saitek Cyborg Evo Joystick Windows XP SP2
