Thanks m8. Helps a lot.

I've tried to search for it but haven't found anything helpful. How do i get this working? I downloaded the .pbo-file but where do I put it? When I've put it in the right location, how do I "load" it? (guessing it's a missionfile but have no clue as to where to put it) Thanks in advance.

*Pokes PrivateNoob* :j:

Thanks Datter - Good read and good test IMHO. Will be put to good use during singleplayer and Coop.

I did exactly like wb74160 did. I installed the game (monday 22nd - 505 edition UK) and patched it before I even started the game for the 1st time. So it's definately something wrong here after the patch since not many have had this problem (or they simply won't reply to this thread or are waiting for a solution since a thread is already there). I can't speak for what happens if I try the mission out unpatched since I won't reinstall just because of that after the help I got from PrivateNoob.

Thanks for the reply but can you show me how I enable it because I can quite frankly not find it anywhere? Don't be a smart-a$$ please, do you even know what "HMDS" stands for? I bet it stands for Helmet Mounted (or Multi) Display System which of course would replace a "standard" HUD (which for your information stands for Heads Up Display). In which case it would simply be a simple thing to add as a 2d-image on the screen.

Thanks a lot!

How did you get past it then?

Yes a workaround is indeed needed. Any Developer/BIS-employee around?

Which Joystick are you using ?

I'm currently using my SaiTek Cyborg X (with the throttle disabled - reason personal hehe). From one thing to another... I find it very hard to fly airplanes (like the F35 in the Bootcamp) simply because there's no friggin HUD??? I've got TrackIR 4 so it makes my life a lot easier but I still have to "guess" where the plane is actually heading (AoA-indicator?) and make an estimate of where the "center" of the "cockpit" is when I try to fly through the "rings" in the Bootcamp. I'm quite surprised since I'm almost certain I've seen a hud in videos of the game previously. Anyone know what might be wrong or if there is no HUD? Thanks in advance.

I've got the same problem as the OP. I did destroy the moving tank first the first time I played the mission. Afterwards I made a new Profile with a different name. Started the Campaign over and played until the same point. This time I destroyed the house (1st target according to Battlemage), the AA under camoflage (2nd target according to Battlemage) and finally the moving Tank (3rd target according to Battlemage). Still stuck and nothing happens. Amazing that they didn't even manage to get the very 1st mission right in Singleplayer. Anyone know of a workaround? Thanks in advance.

Just too bad I have to keep the disc in the player. I usually use the no-cd's to keep my disc from being killed. Well, well... I guess I'll have to live with it. Now it's 2 games I can't use no-cd's with heh.. ArmA and BF2142.

Removed no-cd, inserted disc, works like a charm.

Aha.. I am using a no-cd .exe. That might explain it. Thanks a lot BroK3n, first helpful reply in the whole thread.

I'm talking about hitting my target with the first shot. Not the second, not the third... Seems like I'm the only one with this problem then. Gonna look out for ArmA next time I'm in Germany and buy that one, mod it to english, and see if I get luckier. Forums helpful? My a$$.

I'm not talking about any recoil here. I'm talking about which "direction" the bullet has when it's leaving the barrel. It's certainly not straight, that's for sure. Some dispersion due to wind is something you have to compensate for in real life but the way the weapons act for me in 1.05 is just awful. Maybe I should get my pretty butt on a boat and get to Germany and buy a german version and then patch it to 1.05. Might be different

I've read through these forums now for a couple of hours and this thread seemed the most appropriate to post this in. Reading this thread through and sadly going off a bit on the OP's original meaning, I'd like to put forward the following: After the patch 1.05 every hand-held weapon is firing ridicuosly random. The easiest way to check this in on the firingrange in the trainingmissions. I read that some people managed to hit all targets (save one or two) with their iron-sight M16 Assault Rifle and I can only come to the conclusion that you did that PRIOR to patch 1.05. I am confident in my aimingskills both in real life and in computergames and even though the M16 Assault Rifle probably has the worst ironsight in the world it's still pretty impossible to hit targets at up to 100 meters range (that would be about 300 feet for you british guys). This not only destroys your chances of "qualifying" for the M24 Sniper Rifle at the firing-range but also kills the game-experience in Singleplayer. Seriously. I do believe ArmA is 100% more fun in Multiplayer but there's still a singleplayer mode with some solid missions to complete. The AI doesn't seem to suffer from this "deviation" and can hit you, smack on target, almost every time at ranges well above 200 meters (yes, you guessed it, that'll be around 600 feet). I sincerely hope that this will be adressed in an upcoming patch or I might be yet another guy who's putting this, otherwise AWESOME, game on the shelf. I urge anyone else who think this is ridiculous to also respond in this thread so that BIS can see how stupid it is. I can't even hit a stationary target at 30 meters (90 feet) in prone position and holding breath with an Aimpoint-equipped M4 Assault Rifle!!?? Anyone who would do that in real life should be considered a retard or simply be declared blind. Heck, even a blind man would hit a target at that range. Otherwise I must say this game is top-notch but this in-accuracy just annoys the h**l out of me. Enough to lower my enjoyment enough to quit playing. The only way for me to enjoy this game again is to "revert" to the original installation and NOT patch the game (1.04) and thus not enabling me to play online since all servers I've seen so far is patched to 1.05. I beg you, fix this ASAP. Too bad my very first post had to be a negative one but it's how I feel right now. Sad but true. // Lav out.
