Welcome back ! If you come up with other Command menu loveliness let us know :)

OK have done some testing with vehicles as well. Not sure if its sorted for that yet, but at least it will give us a benchmark. For information using ION_Viewdistance to get VD up to 50km. T72 tanks appear (as a tiny dot - so you can acquire them without TAB :) ) at 3103m at any VD ABOVE 6000m. It is also around this distance that the trees start to pop into existence with the fog. So I have my system now set up with a constant VD of 6000m and I haven't seen that drastic an FPS hit at all (I'm still getting my microstutters with Win7 + 1.04 but hey :) )

On the other hand it is a SUPERB leaf simulator !

It's a good thing you don't exaggerate ! I've told you not to a MILLION times :)

Don't feed the troll ! Come on then new boy let's see what you can do. For a start, I would quit Arma2 and take up writing proper English. For a start, I've bolded all of your mistakes. Try again when you can spell, put together a coherent argument and when you have researched all of your facts.

OK. Select a couple of your team and split them using the HCS system by Mr Centipede. Press Control Space to enter HC mode. Goto the map. Press F2 (or whatever F-key for your new team) Click anywhere (or ideally OVER an empty vehicle) away from that team ... they will start moving. If you have placed it sufficiently far away (to give you time) RIGHT CLICK the waypoint (marked as X1 I think). A further command menu now pops up. Use the mousewheel to scroll and the middile mouse button to select. The first option is TYPE. Mousewheel click that and another menu series will pop up. Mousewheel click GET IN. The team will all mount then. Have a play with all the HC commands within there. My favourite is the Timeout or Wait Until ... so that I can coordinate attacks with my fireteams. Hope that helps.

As long as there is LOTS of loveliness I'll be buying it ! There will need to be lots though. Good job BIS.

Nice one Big Dawg .... hit him where it hurts :) HOWEVER this is the wrong forum for SUGGESTIONS Chilly!

LOL mate. Sorry. You get my FULL support !

...and then get mown down by the enemy and their weapons. Not needed, sorry.

I think Evolution had (has?) a system like this for transport. If you move 10 troops a miniumum distance you would get 10 points. It really made pilots want to do their job properly. This could be scripted rather than having it hardcoded into future patches. Agree on it's importance however.

Yup.... totally agree Curser. If you can't play with grass on go back to A1 :) OOOOOOoooh controversial !

kju, Do you think Thunderbirds idea of ONLY showing the highest LOD would be scriptable ?

Victor, you are a STAR !

Excellent news Placebo. Thanks for keeping us informed! We REALLY do appreciate it. Perhaps releasing a patch once a fortnight would be perfect.

Victor *COUGH* VFAI_Equipment and VFAI_Smokeshell being worked on too I hope :) Would LOVE to see them ingame - really opened up A1!

Interesting idea Thunderbird. How could this be done? Is there a script that needs to be written or is this a hardcoded issue ?

Hmmmm perhaps we need something like this ...... Player A is playing on HIGH detail and has tall grass. AI has a MUCH reduced visibility and therefore does not see him easily. Likewise the AI sitting in tall grass will have a much lower profile and will be difficult to see. Player B is playing on LOW detail and has no grass. AI now has a much higher chance of seeing him. Yes this scenario DOES force you to play with grass on ... but so what ? It was what the game was designed around! This is a local problem for your machine and servers can just force the grass on/off anyway. Comments ?

Listen Swatman .... did you try the -winxp commandline ? DO IT !

VERY nice indeed kju ! Was flying around at 10km VD with everything looking smooth (well with the normal microstutters !) What impressed me a LOT was that Chernogorsk looked LOVELY in the distance. Will test some more and get back to you, but great work so far !

Nope .... have never got them to suppress ANYTHING (targetted or untargetted) I think it's broken for now :)

^^ what he said. Havent touched the campaign ... and don't intend to. MP is where it's at. Oh and screwing around in the editor ... LOVE IT. If the OP is so small minded that he can't see the COMPLETE BEAUTY of this game then we are better off rid ! Bye!

Once we have lots of lovely commands in there then it would make sense to have a further menu ... in fact your chernarus mission does have lots in there :) What about get in and get out (or norrins onTop :) ) as other options? Or actually getting Suppress to work :) Really think this adds TONS to the game..... keep up the good work.

Missing you already J.Peiper The game will be patched to perfection in time. There is no problem with Arma1 so I would look at your computer ! Sounds like its duff.

The only way you can do it (currently, unless someone OVERWRITES the Command Menu!) is to use a waypoint over the vehicle. Click Type and then GETIN. We need some more information on how to modify the HC section on the Biki. In your situation just have the 3 guys you want to look after your truck in your main team (ie don't split them off) then when needed they can jump into the truck when commanded.
