I hope it take so long, because they are going to make it right this time. And if the 1.05 will be as good as the last beta, there will be a lot more satisfaction within the community. I also hope that such a patch will be in the news on several game sites to get some players back to this game! MfG Lee

Amazing island, the feeling is great! MfG Lee :)

Very nice screenshots! MfG Lee ;)

Now: Beta 59210 - 188FPS Beta 59857 - 124FPS Beta 59875 - 190FPS MfG Lee

So if you need a roadblock, just use a AI truck driver with a clear waypoint! MfG Lee :eek:

25% FPS loss for doing lowest AA on a water surface? MfG Lee

Very good work Robert! MfG Lee

Switching from lowest antialiasing to no antialiasing: Beta 59857 - 124FPS <- lowest AA Beta 59857 - 162FPS <- no AA MfG Lee

New patch, that's great! First test, not saying this patch is good or bad. Starting ArmA2, no addons, startup paramter: -world=empty Beta 59210 - 188FPS Beta 59857 - 124FPS I'm going to test a little more the next days. MfG Lee

Then my vote goes for the "challenging and difficult flight model" to see how it works. A little warning, don't forget the "non flight freaks", there could be a lot of "discussions" if it's to difficult for them. ;) MfG Lee :)

That's not easy to answer, because we can't compare what exactly the differences are. Generally I would say, make it as realistic as possible, it will be fun to learn the "new flight model". Better would be a "demonstrator" addon, based on a bis helicopter(e.g.: AH-1)to get a feeling for what your plans are. MfG Lee :)

Your operating system is also important, which windows are you using and 32 or 64bit. Best performance at the moment is with WinXP 32bit. MfG Lee

My ArmA2 packing says: "ARMA II - Die Ultimative Militärsimulation" "ARMA II - The ultimative military simulation" I would say, this includes vehicles too. MfG Lee ;)

Someone should ask "kju" to create a "PROPER - Vehicle tracks & Foot prints" addon! MfG Lee ;)

I upgraded from a GF8800GTX(768MB) to a GTX275OC(896MB). - FPS in the intro screen(with -world=empty) jumped from ~100 to ~187- - UTES is fully playable, even with 5000m viewdistance. (nice fps boost, but was playable with the 8800GTX too) - Chernaurus is playable with very low viewdistances and the use of PROPER low buildings/trees/etc addons. Turning the vd a bit higher and having some action going on, you can feel the "STEP" from smooth gameplay to a stutter one. It feels like the arma engine is only processing every second frame, horrible... And I'm having this bug now with the new graphics card: It's that "fake land" horizon texture, it's getting cut randomly.. MfG Lee

Thanks for the update BWMod! Much fun playing with "Bundeswehr Einheiten" again. Is a P8 and a MP7 in the works? MfG Lee

And the best soloution for the devs would be: - PROPER designed/modeled islands/buildings/trees etc. - Proper use of "Level of details", not like BIS trees/buildings/vehicles. - Lower res textures and bring them to life with features like bump mapping and stuff. - Smaller islands with less trees, no need for simulating a "Schwarzwald" - Look at topics like this and DO something! MfG Lee

Bad thing about ArmA2 is, that we have a little lan party today and we are NOT playing ArmA2. Why? Because nobody has this game(just me..). They don't even think about buying this game, and the more frightening thing, they don't even think about downloading a cracked version of ArmA2. And this is not because of FADE(they don't know such thing excist), it's because of all the bad things they heard/read about this game. Normally I would tell them about the good things and show them how good arma2 can be. I did this with ArmA1 and failed... Only the hardcore fans are willing to wait ~1 or 2 years to get a finished/working game and using community made fixes during this time. MfG Lee :( P.S. Instead I have to play battlefield2 and crysis ...

Best thing about this game is the modding community. So many high quality addons that bring new content to this game(engine) and all the community made fixes to make this game running better. MfG Lee

First impressions: - Looks good enough for a "military simulation", even today. - LOD changes while moving/flying, only the highest LOD should be used. - Stutter when flying with higher viewdistances, maybe caused by LOD changes, only the highest LOD should be used. Can't tell you much about fps changes, because I installed a new graphics card today, still trying to get the best performance with it. Nice work so far, I will report more impressions/informations when I have something worth posting. Thanks! MfG Lee :)

DOWNLOADING NOW! MfG Lee :D

Somali pirates + ship would be nice. Just something to blow out of the water! ;) MfG Lee

This is VERY cool! :D Two questions: - Does it work on the aircraft carrier deck? - Can you tow a damaged vehicle/truck(e.g.: front left tire flat)? MfG Lee :)

When dreams come true! Finally German Army in A2! *downloading now* MfG Lee
