In OFP changing the LOD values helped for a stable FPS because of less lod changes and less hdd activity. Tweaks/Addons like this, is what I'm waiting for! Fixing the game before the dev's can... Flashpoint style! MfG Lee ;)

And the next... and the next... and.... ArmAIII(patched to V1.08beta)? No excuses for not having this feature working from the beginning. MfG Lee

Agree! I loved the winter islands for OFP and the snow effects from NIM Weather addon. MfG Lee

Very good question! For what reason do I have 4GB ram, some people here have 8GB, some 16GB !! The -maxmem=xxxx switch does not really work for me. Any idea how to use more ram with arma? MfG Lee

Only game series that is worth to play... Sad that BIS is doing EVERYTHING to scare away their customer with: - releasing the game(s) full of bugs. - need ages to fix 8 year old bugs. - don't get it, that the "spirit of OFP" is missing in ArmA1 & ArmA2. - don't get it, that a really good campaign(CWC) & a perfect MP mode(classic CTI) is needed. MfG Lee :banghead:

I want to go to a shop and buy a game that is in it's FINAL state, it must be 100% PLAYABLE. I will pay 100,- EURO for it, if it is REALLY: DONE/FINAL/LIKE_OFP. MfG Lee

I'm sure they care, but there is something going terribly wrong since ArmA1. ===== OFP in the last days had a very strong community and the most talented MOD Teams/Addon Makers I have ever seen in any game. Me and my mates had an own linux ofp server, playing a self made custom CTI with tons of addons close to every day. Huge mission with hundrets of enemys, on the ground and in the air! ===== Then ArmA1 came.. Released full of bugs, all the old OFP bugs and with the new features a lot of new ones. Only ~3 of ~20 player could play the game, even after some patches, so they left ArmA1. There was a horrible linux dedicated server support, with every new patch we had to wait "weeks" for a the updated linux dedi.. We tried everything to keep the ppl playing. After some time we had to cancel our server cause no one was willing to pay for it anymore if they couldn't play on it. ===== Then the pay-addon came, "Queens Gambit" splitting the community in half.. "Queens Gambit is required for this addon!" More players left, very few mod teams, much of trying to get the game running, less playing -> loosing the interest in this game more and more. Then with the latest updates, ArmA1 runs very well on most pc's but there was "no one" left to play and most of the talented addon makers went away. ===== And now we have ArmAII.. Released in a better shape then ArmAI but also full of old and new bugs. But there was hope. "They must have learned their lesson with the ArmAI desaster!" Do they? I'm not sure, for me It looks like the same procedure we had with ArmAI. If this is the case, this games series is [d]DEAD[/b]! ===== Look around, where are all the old players? Where are the big mod-teams/addon makers? Where are my old OFP playmates? Where is the FUN we had playing CTI on our good old linux server? =========== Look at the "Patch 1.03 Satisfaction Survey" thread. 44% voted "BAD". This forum has Members: 59,252 but only 324 voted. Let's face it, good times are over and BIS isn't doing a great job at the moment. Yes, it's nice to see all those patches/bugfixes, but how about releasing a game without all the well known bugs! --- Bah... again too much energy wasted on this game, writing this text which is forgotten/never read in about ~15minutes.... MfG Lee :(

Some bugs will celebrate their 10th anniversary of existance in the very near future.. I'm sure we see ArmA III with the same old (legendary?) bugs and an unfinished ArmA II which nobody plays anymore. I never thought that this would happen to our beloved BI games. MfG Lee ...

Voted bad because of the analoge throttle nightmare. I really can't believe that features that worked in OFP now need month/years for re-establishment AND bring new bugs like the one with helicopter steering. MfG Lee

Ok, so now we have analoge throttle for fixed wings aircraft at the cost of flying helicopters? No way to configure both at the same time? Please don't tell me that's true..... MfG Lee

Make sure that you put yourself as "player" in the editor. After that, the "leer" entry is available. MfG Lee ;)

Extremly good addon! I really like civil planes and helicopters in OFP/ArmA/ArmA2. Can't wait to fly it! MfG Lee :)

Added. MfG Lee

GF8800GTX 768MB, turning PhysX off: 0 FPS more. NV Driver: 186.18 PhysX: 9.09.0428 MfG Lee

When you download DX from microsoft and double click it, it is going to be extracted ONLY. You have to go where the extracted files are and double click the "DXSETUP.exe" to install it. MfG Lee

Someone should modify the fisher boat to the "ORCA" from the movie jaws. It already looks like this boat is inspired by the ORCA, but some details could be added. MfG Lee :cool:

I just copied the arma1 nim weather pbo in an arma2 modfolder. So far, it works. MfG Lee

Second good poll, great! I voted: "- Fixed: The patch has fixed some serious issue for me" ----- Because: This patch (esp. AA instead of fillrate) made the chernaurus island playale on "high" settings for me, fps wise. This patch and the new NVidia vga drivers v186.18 boosted performance for me. Specs: - NForce5 MB - AMD X2 6000+(2x3GHz) - 4GB DDR2 800 - GeForce 8800GTX 768MB (game res: 1920x1080) - SB Audigy 4 - 2x 150GB "velociraptor" hdd in Raid0(Stripe) - Windows XP Professional ----- MfG Lee

First: Thanks for a poll like this, VERY user friendly! I voted: "- Good: I am satisfied with the patch, but I hoped for more" ----- What I hoped for: - 100% working 5.1 surround sound(esp. own weapon, free-look left or right and shoot. Firing sound comes from all speakers, dry(empty mag) sound comes from the correct speaker(s)). - Working AA with shadows(from v1.00 on). - Working thrust in aircrafts(from v1.00 on). - less LOD switching and/or the option to configure the values for "switch to lower LOD when xmeters away" like it was possible in OFP via .cfg editing. Many other things are not so important for me at this moment, ArmA2 is generally a step in the right direction! Thanks again. MfG Lee

You can easy test it with arma2. Set fillrate to 100% and looks at the fps. Then set the 3D Render(fillrate) to 125% and look at the fps again. 100% --> 1280x1024=1310720(pixel) 125% --> 1600x1280=2048000(pixel) 23"LCD--> 1920x1080=2073600(pixel) As you can see, 125% fillrate with your old monitor has the nearly the same amount of pixel as the new lcd with fullhd resolution. It's not exactly correct, because with a widescreen monitor your FOV(field of view) is wider also(more objects on the screen). MfG Lee ;)

Thank you EricM & Carl Gustaffa! Great pics all! MfG Lee ;)

I heard rumors, RACS is going to invade Chernaurus. They really need the Littlebirds for coming operations. MfG Lee ;)

Thank you so much for the littlebirds! I loved to fly them in ArmA1 and missed them in ArmA2. Very good work! MfG Lee :)
