You're not really familiar with the concept of limited user accounts are you? Putting settings in the ArmA root directory would cause Vista to pop up with some UAC dialogs, and simply wouldn't be possible for someone like me using a LUA in XP (unless they installed ArmA onto a fat32 partition).

One thing that pissed me off about WGL was removing the zoom. Like most of their features, they claimed it was for the realism (which is what I was after). No more unrealistic zoom, so get ready to "reactivat(e) your DF1 pixel spotting skills!" - the WGL site. Yeah, I look for pixels IRL all the time I struggle to see people across a football field, they all look like featureless dots. Seriously though, at OFP's default FOV, it's harder to see people in the distance than it is in real life. "Zoom," by adjusting the FOV, compensates. Think of it as 'squinting' or 'concentrating on that guy in the distance' (which you'll generally be doing when looking through sights, so "zoomed" sights are cool too IMHO). Basically in the default FOV guys at a certain distance are a pixel or two, while IRL you can make out some detail on guys at that distance. "Zoom" tries to match that. Obviously it can't be on all the time or you'd be losing peripheral vision. The only way to simulate peripheral vision and your eye's superior visual acuity (compared to a monitor) is two different toggleable FOVs. Even though looks like zoom, it is to me is more realistic than giving me permanent myopia. One could almost think of the "zoom" as bifocals for your poor monitor, especially at the reduced resolutions at which we might have to play ArmA

Read what you quote much? Â Considering he demonstrated knowledge of the fact that there is no North American distributor, maybe you can deduce that the stuff about Homeland Security was a joke? Â Or you can just repeat what he said and act like he's a retard for not knowing it I'm leaning towards waiting for an official US version myself, and I can wait for a distributor. ArmA 1.3 sounds about right

Haven't tried it yet, so I must ask, have they fixed it yet so that AI can actually board boats again? If so, that would make it worth it to me for sure to go from 1.4 to 1.42 I would just stick with 1.3 rather than 1.4*, but I enjoy the friendly fire fix too much.

Does anyone remember scorched earth? Two of the ai levels in it were tosser and shooter

quick OT history rant:</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Robert the Bruce lived in the 15th-16th Centuries, as 1st king of scotland following his victory in the 8th battle of Bannockburn. However, shortly after his death, the monarchy of Scotland dissolved, as before, into squabbling tribes.<p>When the Brits came again in 1678, nobody had the will, or indeed the way, to stop them.<p>And bloody good they didn't!!!!!<span id='postcolor'> erm.. if by that you mean he lived in the 1200s and 1300s, you are right.. 1st king of Scotland LMAO.. That would be Kenneth McAlpin, sometime in the 800s. Â "When they came in 1678 no one stopped them".. again, wtf are you on about? Â By then Scotland and England had long since been ruled by one monarch, the first being James VI of Scotland/James I of England who died in 1625. I'll assume it was a joke and I just fell for it, thinking you were serious :D ____ now back to the regularly scheduled topic

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">alright i apologise for doing this (really i am) but we do get annoyed with all the hollywood films etc always taking the piss out of us and having them always save the day.<span id='postcolor'> This does suck. Â but, No one's making fun of you, don't be so damn sensitive. Â So movies made in America use mostly american actors.. big whoop. Â There are more american actors (at least in the US, where hollywood of course is), the biggest market for movies is America: it's all about the $$. Â No one tries to pretend that these movies are reality. Â Hell, in the end of U269 (can't remember the number) they even listed who captured the enigma machines. Â The first date mentioned was before the US even entered the war, it obviously wasn't them. Having americans do it was all about money, about having the audience identify with the heroes, it was not some attempt to rewrite history. Â I think everyone who cares to know knows that the brits got the enigma. Â I think it's pretty obvious that the brits fought and won the battle of britain, even if some crappy movie has a yank there being a hero. Â Hollywood sells entertainment, to america first of all, because hollywood IS american, and america is their biggest market. Â Entertainment is not fact. Â The existence of money hungry people in tinseltown does not mean that the US is trying to take credit for everything, it means that rich fat cats want more $$. Â I'm just sick of hearing people whine about unrealistic hollywood movies. Â No ^&*& they are unrealistic. Â I'm also sick of hearing people get pissed at all yanks because of what the idiots in Hollywood do. Â Complain to hollywood, not me. Really, if Hollywood sucks so bad, don't support it. Â Watch british movies.

How can you say how Osama/Usama's name is spelled when I'm sure he doesn't spell it with roman letters in the first place? It's all transliteration in the first place, there can't be a 'right' way. In a german magazine I saw it spelled Ussama ibn Ladin once
