    No Sasr units. I've isolated it to one addon folder (the one where i store vehicle addons) and I've beeen running each pbo file to see if one does this to the crew anims. maybe ill delete the config pbos

    i've found the suspect. pa_landrover.pbo and pa_landrover6x6.pbo files from the Project Aus mod Land Rover addons. every other pbo doesnt cause the trouble.

    Oddly its only when both are present that you get this problem.

    I'll pm rhodsey77 from the project aus team and see if he can pass on the error.

    I'm suddenly getting this weird error/bug in Arma 2 when using some helicopter. I havent sen anything anywheer else.

    I get this in the Cobra, Blackhawk, and also in most addon helicopters _(rah-gg, ch-47, ad_helos, littlebirds, Not the Ka-50 addon though) Which is odd. What could be causing this? It is quite annoying

    I recenly added the exended event handlers and cba to the list of addons i use when playing arma 2

    Does everyone remember in Operation Flashpoint that the player had in the action menu access to sitting down commands and could also place their rifle on their back. In Arma 1 and 2, both of these are missing from the action menu, with sitting down done via a key ( ' or something), while putting rifles on back is omitted completely.

    Would it be possible to create an addon or tweak that allows players to put their rifle on their back and walk hands free, instead of only having their rifle lowered? I much prefer that and it was way cooler in sp sneaking up to patrols who had their rifle on their back and shooting them before they could get their guns out.

    Hi there, I've been playing Arma2's campaign recently and have been having a minor problem.

    Whenever I start a mission (newly or revert it), I get a message stating that the MQ_9 reaperB has been deleted.

    The message goes:

    "ca/missions/mission/C3_Mahattan.chernarus/mission.sqm/Group 5/item89/vehicles/item0.vehicle:Vehicle Class MQ9PredatorB_campaign no longer exists"

    or close to that anyway.

    Because of this I can't access the UAV in the bases. When I tried in the Harvest Red mission nothing comes up, while in the Manhattan mission it says that the UAV has been destroyed. Ive tried installing the latest beta patch, to no avail.

    I remember in Opfor multiplayer there was one game mode - serial killer which featured many women in the towns and villages, which the serial killers had to murder. The other players where police and had to try and protect them. If the players who where police killed civilians they would actually be punished by being put in a prison camp for about 5 minutes. Serial killers would also be put in the prison when they where killed by police (which was the police teams objectives) It was quite fun because when both serial killers (there where two) where killed the police got to shoot them in an end sequence firing squad.

    Male civilians drove around in vehicles and where also featured and could be killed by serial killers.

    I remember this game especially well since I was lucky enough to shoot a police player flying a helicopter with the g36, while they where flying at high speed in the OH-58. It was one lucky shot.

    its certainly as a strange a looking rifle as the SA80, true. SLR was replaced in the 1980's. As far as I'm aware its not in use anywhere in the british forces, at least not in front line duties. Same goes for the L2A3.

    The uk gpmg doesnt use the red wood stock, nor does it use an ammo box. It's sprayed black (of sorts) and uses a black plastic stock. Instead of an ammo tin (in the personal weapon role this is) it uses a 100 round link belt.

    we just like to be different it seems tounge2.gif

    Well the XL70 actually is an SA80. The same Armalite

    AR-180 action stuffed into a bullpup format firing 5.56mm

    NATO, it's just that the furniture and some external details

    are different. I remember those old promo pics where they

    showed a bod with the "new IW" standing beside a bod with

    an SLR. The IW was always held across the chest so it

    looked short and handy and the SLR was always held out

    towards the camera so it looked a mile long!

    And, yes, the SLR and SMG were phased out of British service

    over 25 years ago - even the Senior Service don't use them

    any more! They were still in use through the 1990s but by

    now all of the SLRs are destroyed, legally deactivated or are

    now in the hands of "soldiers" in Sierra Leone (most of the

    rifles were all old and well-knackered anyway although some

    lucky British lads did get brand new wooden furnitured ones

    from a war emergency stock just before they were phased

    out and withdrawn). They were carried [reputedly] by the SAS in GW1.

    Some Brits took SLRs to the Gulf and derived some merriment

    from screwing the gas regulators up tight (so they'd kick like

    f**k) and then letting unwitting American boys fire them so

    they'd go away thinking "what a real man's rifle them thar

    Redcoats have!"! whistle.gif

    The L2A3 was replaced in its role by the SA80 - they were

    never especially popular anyway. The crappo ammo we got

    in the 1980s didn't much agree with them either. You would

    often either get to watch the bullet hit the ground 20 yards

    downrange or have the gun run away with you as the ammo

    failed to force the bolt back far enough to engage the sear!

    Yeah, the wooden stocked GPMG became obsolescent when

    Maranyl was approved for use for weapon furniture in October

    1969! So plastic stocks were being used almost before I'd got

    my first Action Man! In any case the shape of the butt on

    the M240 is wrong for the British wooden butt, the flash hider

    on the M240 is wrong too for a British gun and you'd need to

    remove the "picatinny rail" affair on it as well, and add the

    proper dovetail for the C2 and the IWS. But, OK, if one just

    wants to rush it out and doesn't much give a crap for detail

    or authenticity then yes I'm sure a quick repaint of the BIS

    model would satisfy. wink_o.gif

    Roll on the release of the UKF stuff!

    Not "different"..."better"! tounge2.gif

    edit: Sorry, the M240 butt shape is only wrong for the first

    style of wooden GPMG butt. I believe that the wooden ones

    are only really used by the Royal Navy and TA these days,

    though. Here's the first style of wooden butt illustrated in the

    User Manual for the L7A1 GPMG, dated 1962:

    L7A1.jpg

    I'll have to be doing this early model for the boys of SPEARHEAD (qv in

    a thread elsewhere in this forum)

    That's very interesting. I'm sure the wikipedia article on the FAL would benefit greatly from that.

    The ammo you're talking about - wasn't that stuff purchased from pakistan really cheaply. My grandfather told me about that stuff last year while I was at navy day in plymouth. He said that he would often get missfires and jamming with his Browning L9A1 on range and it turned out the ammo had seriously damaged the firing pin on his pistol.

    Anyway, someone should make a mod set around the falkland islands and the 1982 war. There appears to be many parallels between opfor/ArmA and that conflict.
