Yay, this looks like an island I've been waiting for a LONG time, just mostly plain bare terrain to train with the A10!! Gonna try it soon.

I wonder if this works in OpF and in ArmA...

Bugger, sucks though... PERHAPS someone could make an external program and make it work the same... duh.

Looks more like dust and rust to me...

Can anyone please implement Dragon Skin? http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Dragon+skin&emb=1# Thanks.

I'm NO expert in this stuff, but I wonder if this program might help? (you've to seek trough the videos on the right column to find the right one).

But this way you dunno if you've mistakenly done a blue-on-blue, aka friendly fire. In OpF's single mission "Battlefields" with the Y2K3 mod I was very surprised I've accidentally killed one of my guys in the heat of the battle. Knowing the number of enemies I've gunned down may not be important, but I do think it's relevant to acknowledge mistakes from my side. If I don't recall wrongly, years back in OpF's campaign I haven't killed many yet have finished two consecutive missions, but I've been reported to Colonel Blake because of my way of fighting and the game ended there. I may be wrong though. If anyone else can please confirm or vitiate this...

Hi. When I fly at quite a distance, say roughly more than a kilometer from the target, the tanks disappear, while approaching them they just pop up back in sight. In OpF this does not happen, even at a pretty high distance I can still see black dots (referring to the deserted island). So far I've never experienced slow FPS nor problems while on foot or in ground vehicles. ArmA runs smoothly in every situation I've played, but this on & off popping somehow does make a difference between aiming at a target and being one yourself. Any solutions? ArmA's still on 1.09, I was without the internet for almost two months -on and off, more off- so I couldn't update myself with the game.

Thank you so much to Lou Montana and Sabre Tooth Sniper! It works!! Sorry if I didn't reply earlier, managed only today to try it out. Thanks again, very much appreciated.

Oh, sorry for not givin' enough info, my bad. :P It's a simple training mission with the editor to get used to the various air vehicles -official and non-; me roaming with the A10 while the live targets are tanks and UAZs with machine guns, running around in waypoints while trying to nail me down too. The setviewdistance is around 5 km; I've lowered it but there were no differences at all, so I've raised it to even 6 km. The island is the... er, small one -can't recall the name, sorry-, then have tried another island but not an official one, and the results haven't changed. Have tried playing with the various video options with no success. All details are set to high or medium, and the resolution is 1360x768x32. You think the 1.14 upgrade will make the difference? But no one else had this problem before? Thanks for the reply though.

Hi all. It takes around half a second to fully activate the A10's GAU-8/A, isn't there a way to have this delay in-game? Sure adds in a bit more realism.

There's also a short clip (not from YouTube, can't recall in which site I've found it) where there's a guy shooting a minigun (the camera's on his right rear), and can clearly hear the CLICK, brief delay, then the shots fired.

In good ol' Wikipedia there's info 'bout the A10, specifically of it's weapons systems. In this forum instead there's an interesting discussion between the GAU-8/A and GSh-2-30.

Whaaaaaatever, it's not my intentions to argue, just adding ideas, and since this is considered a "simulator"...

Well, if you consider the speed of the A10, it can travel up to 833 km/h. It's 231 meters per second. So in half a second you travel 115.5 meters, and hitting a target at that speed with a delay DOES make a difference, so you've to make counter-measures to deal with this half second.

Thank you very much, engag... looking at it now.

Hello, am searching for an island that's completely deserted, without (or very little) vegetations or any constructions. This is mainly for me to train bombings with the A10 or Harrier; have already tried out with the default small island but the surrounding vegetation is a visual obstacle. Is there any available please? Have already tried searching with the SEARCH option but didn't find any...

Hi all. ~In OpF (with joystick)~ - planes: push throttle forward, more speed; pull backwards, less speed. - helis: push, loose altitude; pull, gain altitude. ~In ArmA (same same)~ - planes: push throttle forward, more speed; pull backwards, less speed. - helis: push, GAIN altitude; pull, LOOSE altitude. o_O It still remains confusing after playing OpF from it's birth, and to reverse action in ArmA, well, just not immediate. Unless I've missed something, is there a way to have it automatically reversed, or must change it in OPTIONS every time I decide to use a plane or heli?

Just a little note: I've been playing only OpF so far, and only yesterday I've installed ArmA. A boy I've been chatting with a coupla years has sold me ArmA in this box version. I still have to play it as I prefer patching it first; the version I currently have is 1.04something. Roaming around this forum I'm stuck in understanding what I've to upgrade. Can someone PLEASE just tell me what has to be done? Or is the 1.08 complete (till the 1.09 will be alpha)? I've tried downloading the 1.05 for instance, but it simply stopped.

Hi all. . I'm searching for a program that takes screenshots and possibly also videos that's easy to use. FRAPS, meh, dunno why it doesn't work (and I'm talking about the free version, with it's link on top of the video) or I can't make it work -more likely-; I have IrfanView too but... I don't understand how to activate the capturing. I have tried a lot before opening a new topic, and this for me is the last straw. Since most people here are experts, can you please gimme an e-hand? Thanks a lot in advance.

Ok ok, got your PM as well. Jeez, and I've apologized already. Till the next mono-post...

Haha, no worries mate, I accept advices from who knows better. So fire away (I'll duck! ).

I'm pretty much pi**ed with all these games with US vs Eastern Countries, can't they do something a little tad different, like England, Norway and Germany declare war to America? I'd like to see their weapons clashing towards each other instead of high-tech instruments against second-hand-shop quality (rocks and sticks included). Why UK Norway and Germany? Meh. *shrugs*

Wehey, I didn't even think of shooting any ideas. I too have acknowledged at a later stage the Print Screen button, and I too know how it feels to not understand how stuff works, or for instance to have a not-fast connection: we have the fast line for like only 2 and a half ~3 years, and before I send to anyone files I ask them if they have the chance to download it quick without spending time and money on the phone. I didn't want to sound rude up there, and I'm sorry if it turned up this way. @[CAS] Daniel: I've posted multiple times 'cause I couldn't quote properly in one whole post the other's replies. I won't multi-post in future though.

Yup, very true. A lot of kind people in here, glad to have known this place.
