F*ck it, send in the SEALs

Is it just me or is it extremely annoying trying to find the last few enemy to kill in order to trigger the mission/objective ending? BI studio should give us mini-UAVs for a semi-realistic solution. Much like the Skylark mentioned here. Perhaps a one time use per mission to avoid abusing this asset. Would be lame to have the ability to constantly know the enemy positions. But would be great to have something like this for those last few enemy hiding. It could highlight all enemy(infantry/vehicles) on your map within like 100-200m radius from your location, I know this is not realistic. But at least this would give us a semi-realistic way of IDing enemy locations, without using something more unrealistic like heart beat sensors. The UAV already in-game doesn't really work since you gotta be at the workstation to operate it. Sorry if this has been mentioned already.

Kool, haven't seen that video yet, looks great, thanks for posting it.

Not to mention the easy ability to launch the game with no intro and empty game world gets your game loaded much much faster.

I forgot, but pretty sure it's in the controls listings in the options.

Not sure, I think it's lag/latency issues is why MP hasn't taken off. I've always lagged playing Arma 1 and now with Arma 2(DSL). I think I was on 56k way back when OFP was released, so never played that MP. Pretty much all of my gaming buds had lag issues with OFP/Arma series. It is also why I so rarely play online. It's certainly not because the game is sim-like or too realistic. Realism mods are always popular with other games like BF2(Project Reality)and CoD(forgot name). Also look at Red Orchestra's solid community. There is a definite and size-able crowd out there that love accessible realism or sim games. Bottom line, at least for BI studio, there's plenty of people buying the game. Regardless if only a fraction of those people play online. If it's profitable then we will continue to see these games. Edit: Oh and yeah, that advertising and marketing thing. I'm curious as to how many units they sold of OFPDragon Rising compared to Arma2. I saw tons of commercials for OFPDR and none for Arma2. We all know Arma2 is a vastly superior game too. But I'd be willing to bet OFPDR sold more though.

It only happens once in awhile, the graphics stay soft or fuzzy like when out of breath. But it doesn't return to normal like it's suppose to. The only way to fix it is to reboot the game, reloading saves don't work. I gotta GF 9800GTX+ on the 195.62 drivers. Other than this annoying problem the game runs pretty good for me, any ideas?

Yeah I do like the effect, when it works properly, so will leave at low. But the soft graphics problem still happens at that setting. So will just disable it when this problem comes up, but will use low when possible.

Yup, that fixed it alright, thank you very much!

Also, don't overlook the editor, it's very easy to whip something together quickly. I made a tank vs tank mission in like 5-10 mins and a sniper mission in 5 mins. It's kinda like playing in a sandbox. :)

Haha, I did the exact same thing in that scenario. I think the mission maker of that one is Laggy. Was good fun indeed.

LOL ok I got it that way, thanks for the help. :o

Playing a custom scenario and have finished all my objectives and I'm suppose to call extraction by radio. But there is no radio to click on, it's there in my inventory though. But not visible in map view like it normally is. Checked the controls and noticed there's buttons for the watch and compass but no button for radio. Is the radio broken or is the scenario? :confused:

I don't have any mods installed at all, so can't be that. Not sure how to call with the radio with the command menu. I checked under communication like I normally do and there is no options there. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the replies. I have no mods installed at all, not yet anyway. I checked my resolution and it's already at 100% 1024x768 on my CRT Viewsonic monitor. Is it just me or is this effect(fuzzy or soft graphics) on purpose when your guy is out of breath or been running for awhile? Then after resting(like 10 seconds) his vision returns to normal(sharp and clear). Problem is it sometimes does not return to normal, ever, until rebooting the game. Any other ideas?

That's kool, weird looking smoke though. So where's that 1.08 patch at? It's manic monday!

At least until the 1.07 update is ironed out. Is this correct? Wanted to play my friend that has the US version, as I have the Euro version. Is there any other way these 2 diff versions can play each other?

Dont know what happened there mate Sorry about the not mentioning the euro pach, but it does on the site Happened again. Â First time 211mb before it died. 2nd time 140mb Yeah, same exact thing happened to me twice. I got to 90mb on the 1st try and then 80mb on 2nd try. Then it just stops/completes itself. Perhaps the server is crashing and then restarting. Who knows. But that jolt link is working great, dling at over 300+ and doesn't appearto be going down.

Is there any other links to download the video posted by Dslyecxi? I'm dling it at only 10-15kb, I guess everybody is trying to get it, hehe.

Yeah I'm stuck with the exact same problem. Gonna try that end mission thing. Thanks for posting it.

I sure don't remember OFP being this hard. They just seem ultra-accurate. I feel like I'm playing against an auto-aim hack, playing on normal, not vet. Is there a way you can edit AI values besides the in-game modifier? I could of sworn I saw a post about editing an ini. file or something like that for the demo. I tried a search and couldn't find it.

Btw, for anybody who can't find that file, the default place it's in for XP is: C:\Document and Settings\(Your XP Name)\My Documents\ArmA Then just open it in wordpad or notepad and edit. I noticed that in the regular settings there is a, Autospot=1 and UltraAI=0 and AutoAim=0 Also, there's a UltraAI=0 for the vet category. What exactly do these do? Has anybody fiddled with them.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
