Hi... I'm looking for the ABG clan, based in Australia. I'm thinking of joining them. I tried googling for their website and only got a forum then nothing else. Anyone here from ABG that could hook me up to your leader? I'd love to do air-support stuff as well as medic duties.

I have the exact same problem with Legolasindar. Whenever the LOD bug kicks in i dare not ALT+TAB as my main monitor will go to sleep. looking at my second monitor however i see that windows is functioning properly. I seem to be getting the LOD bug after ten seconds (literally, no joke) after starting a game. FPS drops to 8 when standing still, no zoom, but rises back to normal (30FPS) in optics. Any idea what's happening?

Sometimes i wonder if that slight deviation after stepping on the rudder is the result of TORQUE. I guess it makes sense as well that after a certain speed the rudder movement has little or no affect on the flight path of the chopper after taking into account forces such as inertia and wind speed. Correct me if i'm wrong.

@TankTop Dont... Dont say things like that. @Charlie Though the search function is a bit general in its search... you could try out using different words that relate to what you're searching for to help in your search. Gotta make do with what we have

Hey... the original poster asked a question....

I was playing on 1.4d a few nights ago. The one with MH-6 Respawn. Seems like they dont respawn at all.... back at base, at least.

....wwwwWWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! NICE! First the Hind, now this? Arent we happy....

Any idea on how to make new models for ArmA? Or reskin soldiers? If only there was a sticky on what tools we need and where to get it and also tutorials on these then i guess it'll be easier for people who have the interest to start working on another stellar mod. Biki doesnt really have anything to answer those two questions.

oh yes! please, someone do this please! I'm also planning to use Arma planes as CGI in an upcoming short film.

Dont fight, guys. Dont fight. Recorded my harrier stuff a few minutes ago on an external video camera so that FPS isnt affected. Then i found out i didnt plug the audio in. hehehe..

@ sirex. lol.... what the fish. @ Frederf. Nice manual. Couldve worked better if the pic didnt have to be clicked on. I think I'll make a video on how to handle the Harrier. (I think... but actions are another thing.) Would be nice if we had a video.

yes! we need nuns!

heh. yeah. Had a run in with a TKC fella on a berzerk map. He was laying nukes on bangango and all the other buildings surrounding it, killing all, including those at home base. After that he left. Was an experience though.

yea ive exprienced the mission auto-complete bug in 1.4 for every single time i played that map. This after skipping through three servers. One server claimed i was "bugging" and required me to change my name and rejoin and that went ahead to kick me out. Nv going back there again lol. This auto-complete happens on whatever missions i click on, too. One mission however, a DSTR 10 points one, pointed me beyond north east sahrani to another island starting with A. Is this meant to happen? I thought only 20 points missions are located on North Sahrani. btw i liked the new mission interface. nice work. A bit of a problem there in the mission details though. It shows some scripting text thing instead. MH6s dont respawn anymore. Nice to see that only pilots can fly birds and planes and we're able to fly the sidewinder harriers at 100 points.

mmm.... tools.. blllaarrggghhh... Yea making a seperate island for the north is....

hmm i played it a bit more today. I find that in large areas of vegetation (no zooming) the fps drops a bit more than before... from 15-17fps to 10fps. Tried this in the marijuana plantations near cayo and Tiberia. Zooming in however eases the FPS up abit though. btw the trees look skinnier. Less leaves? The biggest gripe im having so far is the BHs. You call that zooming in? basically the zoom is such that it frames the window u're looking out from nicely with ur computer screen. i'm not in favour of this because I'd like to see enemy troops below me so that i could position myself for my gunners. Another thing is that you cant turn your head down as you could before. It stops just before the lower part of the window near your feet. It feels very uncomfortable for me now with this position but maybe it's just that.... me. The auto centering is still present but in the beta patch i found the recentering trick (which is to use the numpad. Works only for up and down head movements) and has been ok for me. however with the limited view we have now with the head it's getting very difficult to land. but if they have a reason for this then okay... i might accept it. p.s. Is there a version changes log for the demo that we can take a look at somewhere?

i think he might be talking more about the demo showing North Sahrani instead of South. Some people would prefer the northern environment than the deserty-iraq-tropical south. I hate playing in deserts but bought Arma anyways only to find a beautiful side of the island that's 3 times bigger than the south. But in any case i dont think we could do anything about a new demo now. May 1st is about a week and a half away.

yes it does. I takes about 5 m136s to bust an abrams from the front. A bit less from the rear.

Just tried the demo. A few things that i can say have been improved: - load times. - Overall performance (better FPS and loading of textures) - Post-processing on high brings my fps down by only 5fps. - Didnt have any LOD bugs so far. - All the goodies 1.05 Beta brought to us. Things that annoy people which are still around: - FPS drops when scoping into bushes. (thats understandable with some basic graphics rendering knowledge) - Heavy rifle movements (they seem to be more heavy.) - Same old sounds (doesnt matter, really) - Loss of FPS when looking through ironsights. I had 60fps looking at the desert near Cayo and it dropped to 30fps looking through the M4 aimpoint. Why? I dont know. Things that make me wonder why: - My FPS goes about a steady 30fps everywhere.. whether looking down a street or in bushes. Is it capped at 30fps? When i look down at the ground i get about 40-50fps though. - The demo loads up on my second monitor. Why? - Why havent i had my dinner yet? Overall a big improvement from the days of 1.02. The other guy said it doesnt surpass 1.04's performance. I beg to differ because 1.04 didnt give me faster loading times (loading Operation Sanitizationusdhuastion was like opening up desert island in OFP's editor) and i was still plagued by LOD bugs. But only untill i find out why I'm capped at 30fps will i say it surpasses 1.04's performance. Cos i got about 35-40 at that version.

Played this map in a total of over 24 hrs. I HATE IT! lol joking. Like many peple said the vehicle lock system is something good. You've no idea how much my heart was beating after i manged to go above 200 points (in ten hours, first time. 2 hrs, second time) and then capturing the SU34 at Pita and give my mates joyrides in it while bombing Pita. Oh my, the amount of salutes i received on the runway.... I have a few issues with Evolution though. Could u make it so that the waypoint doesnt appear on the screen permenantly? I blocks my view whenever i try to aim the launcher on the armor i'm trying to shoot at. Secondly, rank doesnt stay with me all that well. I may disconnect accidentally (cat trips over powerplug) and then get back in only to find that i'm a private again. Is there like... things i need to take note of like my unit number in order for it keep my rank? Thirdly, could the AV8s respawn back at base as well? If someone were to crash one in the woods how could i ever find enough space for them to lift off? We need support choppers too. A few times the FARPs are too far away or high up in the mountains and it's a pain to go there, get a truck and repair a stryker, for example. At least repair the damaged vehicles to a point where it is travel-worthy so that we could transport them to a support vehicle on the battlefield. Like someone pointed out - include markers for squad leaders (as in those with men under them) on the map. Otherwise, it's a pretty solid map. I'm gonna get one copy of Arma to pass on to a friend specifically for this map. Loved the time i used to play Evolution. Thanks!

So what kinda fps should i expect on a 7600GT and on what settings? Getting 15fps in paraiso and it pisses me off.

Not according to your profile ...(Birthday Date 28 Jan. 1983 (24) ) And on the subject of suspect profiles has anyone noticed that blackdog~ is 88! Â It should be a requirement for members to fill in ALL fields on the profiles page and lying to be a capital offence! Â ddduuuhhhhhhhhh.....?? I guess the average age of Arma players is within 20-35.

I AM... ... a 35 year old woman.

like i've always said: Arma in an investment. Not in finance terms... but in entertainment, technology, programming and mission design. if only i could invest in BI shares. (if they have some...)

I just tried 3Deep and did the necessary calibration it asked me. I found out my secondary monitor, a CRT, is dying out. Thanks. Coupled with 3Deep i decreased the gamma settings ingame from 0.8 to 0.4 and set testure details to normal. Everything is so vibrant and lively now! But still i dream of the day we could set the RGB values of the game. Arma in Band of Brother's visual theme. Mmmmmm....
