Maraudeur

I realised today that I had no more the menu " objects " available in the editor. Can't say since when exactly... I uninstalled the game, every folder related to ARMA then used RegCleaner, did fresh install ( version 1.04 ) alll of this twice and... no more objects available anymore. Please help ?

Y'ou're right, and I do feel that stupid now. Thank you very much

Sorry, I put it wrong. I mean I lost the menu " empty " under which one could find ammo crates etc.

http://www.sauer-waffen.de/news/english/release.html This, plus the new uniform... I thought we could use money elsewhere but... Anyway, I would have prefered the HK P2000 instead of the SigPro. @Ran : I believe the PA MAS G1 was over any possible choice because of its frame way to big for most female officers, and even some male ! *heee, is the Gendarmerie going to wear the same uniform than PN ?!? First stage to get one police force according to EU directives, as in Belgium ? ? *

I don’t agree. Both HL2 and Max Payne 2 are planed to be released this fall and if those games comes out in about the same time as the LO-MAC demo then who do you think will care about a flightsim demo? Probably only the same people who’s waiting for the demo right now. I don’t see that delaying the demo will do any good. I think it would be a better move to release the demo now when there is pretty quite on the game front. Maybe one of the reasons is that the demo will be single player without net code, and just contains two very small missions, one for each plane, with a very short flight time due to fuel limitation. It may become a very boring demo fastly ! So they release it soon before the complete game..But as I highly doubt the game will hit the shelves for the X-mas time...

When you install the Flanker 2.5 patch its says lomac is comming out in late 2001... Yep. And at this time - as the screenshots revealed - the game was supposed to feature the SU-39 with its radar and FLIR pods, its full loadouts etc. By now : no more Su-39 ; no really improved avionnics for the russian fighters ; the developpers still do not want to modell the data link for the R27R/T/ER/ET missiles arguing this is not existing in reality - as even the USAF simulators feature this for their opponents under Pentagon's datas   -  ; 99% probability of non featured data link from awacs and ground stations for eastern side, no AI F15E while SU34 is modelled but not available in operationnals units - when dev team says they do not want to feature some things because they are not in regular use with the concerned air forces - ; dual targeting ability for the Mig29-13S not featured ; etc etc... The list could be long, as the game will reveal some lacks and unrealistics choices for some grounds units and electromagnetic environment and  weaponry... This is a free guess, but a complete survey of the thing since a long time let me to think that LOMAC will be a funny game, a perfect screenshoot maker and an marketed product to the bones. But surely not a realistic and achieved combat flight sim, as ultimate as claimed by the advertising. If I buy this game, it probably will be after the first or second patch release. And I will buy it from Russia to give max money to the real developpers - Eagle Dynamics / The fighter collection - as I did with FB directly from 1C: Maddox games to boycott UBI, the publisher for the rest of the world, wich sucks.

As I was searching a link for the boots you ask for but can't find back - german armee shoop, but do not recall the name - I found something awfull The first step is to wear this : http://www.usarmy-shop.de/images/big/underco3.jpg Then the next step is achieved there : http://www.armeeshop.ch/shopneu/images/Artikel/13-150.jpg   Damn, now you search for non reinforced seat trousers... What wil my search engine shows ?     *edit* Ah, you should find what's you're looking for here : http://www.e-conomy.de/1.7/35/index.php

Krav Maga ? Another way for close combat like, not that effective because what you learn to respond are situations that never happens, or when they do, you're not in the correct status to give feedback because of the human parameters and all possible Murphy's laws. Go for Penshak Silat, Indonesian boxing originaly thought to counter the Thai boxing. But its effectivness is way larger. It is interesting because it remains a boxing disciplin, when truelly to put an adversary down mostly happens by the hand fights, and harden and fasten you enough along particular protectives, natural and fast stances to respond to close combat likes, thai boxing, Karate and even Aikido. Have a try. Last but not least, maybe usefull also against contact fights like wrestlings situations, and it is not that long to become effective coumpared to many martial arts ( thinking of the Aikido ). But it hurts a lot to learn and practice  If you do not mind to be effective before years, Aikido would be my second choice, thinking that having a good boxing skill would always be necesssary along.

Could any US citizen confirm if it is stil possible, but when I visited the United States on the late 80's, in state of Florida, for people travelling deep in the mexican gulf with their boats they could obtain from the coast guards a clearance to own and keep on board heavy weapons as .308 machineguns for self defense against piratry and drug transporters stoling boats, according respect of international rules for the transport of it in international waters.

Excellent !! Finally someone gave the rifle grenades a correct and usefull sighting system -- but why limit the carry by giving each grenade a two items size ? -- As for the non reloadable rocket launchers, good initiative. Excellent sounds, models, etc.. It's great ! Your mod is innovative and of a high quality Bravo messieurs, merci, donnez nous en d'autres comme ça  !! Juste un petit mot, le canon de 20 et les grenades ŕ fusil semblent manquer un peu de punch face aux M113, BMP de BIS.

Businessmen ?

Ah ok. Â Makes sense. Â I thought you were refering to the armor stopping the RPG from penetrating. Â At any rate, yeah the Hind's a great chopper. Â I have a friend who's flown in some Ukranian Hinds operating in the Congo and swears by them especially the South African modified Hinds that are up-gunned and up-armored. Â I believe they call it the "Pretorian" upgrade. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> You mean the helos rented by Executive Outcomes ??

Yep, 1.91 What the hell... Thanks for reply Cheeky Monkey *edit* Well will reinstall OFP something's wrong BTW thanks for the RPK drum mag ;)

Ahem sorry guys to disturb you but simply could someone tell me if I have something else to do than just put the unziped PBOs in the res/addons as usual or if there is something different with this one because whatever I try I can't acces them - and I tried near every addon/mod since the OFP demo so or my PC/OFP install is corrupted or what is the joke I made myself the victim please explain me if there's something I miss I would like to play that addon !

I'm sure I'm missing something so simple I will soon feel plain stupid, but I can't use that add on. No new unit in the editor, every time I type a command in the init field to add a weapon or the corresponding mag I've got the message telling the addon is simply unknow. Addons PBOs moved in the addon directory after unzipping, not let in the the one created automatically. Help ?

Today I wanted to launch OFP:R as usual. I had the message " insert correct CD ... " Tried many ways, still that error message. I uninstalled OFP and OFP:R then did a clean install. Both OFP and OFP:R launched perfectly. When I re-installed 1.91 patch, got several message errors : Verifying Operation Flashpoint, version 1.75... Error found in file Res\AddOns\O.pbo (012e4bac!=cc7df6c5) Error found in file Res\Campaigns\resistance.pbo (1996a085!=0c7911e4) Operation Flashpoint: Updating version 1.75 to version 1.90... Some error occurred during patch installation. Patch file is probably dammaged. You may need to download it again. Error in file RES\ADDONS\O.pbo, phase 1. And some others with following patch install for mission PBOs. I D/L 1.91 from BIS, OFP Info and alternatively tried with both, always error messages. Finally the patch succsessfully installed at the 9th try. I saw on the board that this happened with VIA chipstets and drivers. The problem is that I do not use them. My system specs : Leadtek motherboard with NForce2 chipset AMD XP 2200 / 512 Mo ram Infineon LG DVD drive Powercolor ATI 9700 Catalyst 3.2 drivers. I didn't installed any new hardware nor driver since the last time ( two days ago ) I successfully launched and played OFP:R. Checked, no virus. And when 1.91 is installed, always message " insert CD ... " Two days before, OFP:R with 1.91 worked well. What the hell is wrong ? What the hell do I have to do ?

Problem solved. Drivers NVidia 1.42 and 1.41 corrupt the system. Do NOT install them ! ( not as someone else... ; and now I am the only admin of my system to prevent such events to happen again ;) ) NVidia ask customers to uninstall them

Tried to turn off hardware acceleration under configuration panel/sounds/advanced ?

For the G3SG use an optic with X6 magnification to keep it like it was issued and born in late '70s but you could simply add another scope as it is more often seen since very long time now, as a 3-12X by 50 as you may find here : http://www.schmidtbender.com/frames/scharf.htm For others variants of the G3 you may simply add an ACOG, why not this one ? http://www.trijicon-inc.com/user/parts/products1.cfm?PartID=153 An 4X ACOG fitted to an AUG would be very welcome also As usual, when I'm searching someting in my bookmarks I cannot find it back As I lack a digital camera or a scanner for russian optics look at commercial sites to have an idea ( damn Kalinka is down, no reticle picture, bad day today ) http://tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru/bstpso.html http://www.impactguns.com/store/russian_scopes.html http://www.sksman.com/access/scopes3.html Sorry couldn't find better in the hurry, yes, AK's with scopes would be great !

I think I am making it so the ARs don't have tracers.<span id='postcolor'> 2 minutes ? :o Wow. 75 rounds for both RPK 47 and 74. Thank you Cheeky Monkey. I feel growing the sentiment I could become a lobbyist lol ! ahem, let's try with rifle grenades ? lol Seriously. Longer engagement range, complete range of weapons for both sides, longer engagement range for grenades, more grenades carried, seriously this sounds very interesting and could be the greatest improvement related to small weaponry for OFP ever made. Then the next step to finish and complete a full realistic game upgrade would be : add the ability to use rifle grenade for weapons that realy can, more often use of those and grenades by the AI, longer engagement range for the rocket launchers and recoil less guns including HE/ barimetric rounds on softer targets. I mean I'm not calling for you to do those last things, but what you've done sounds like more than half that way is done. best regards

Well, it's just because you asm me ! My preference is just for Mgs, even not in LMGs but some people use them in rifles, every X rounds or at the end of the mag...but as OFP let to know how many rounds still are in the mag at any time. I believe it is more realist and funny to find where the fire come from by spoting the flashes etc ; tracers breaks the stealthy spirit for human players, and OFP tracers do not really allow to aim using them, and more, engagement ranges will be higher so...GPMG with tracers is fine, AR and LMGs not ( except belt fed maybe question of taste ) My two cents

If you want suppressive fire then just use the PK, the RPK wasn't really designed to replace GPMGs, but to give the squad some longer range firepower<span id='postcolor'> Yes yes it's ok about not confusing GPMG and LMG purposes and that RPKs are made also to give longer legs to the squad as the Ak's effective range is somewhat short. But LMG anyway are made as every MG, RPK beeing a support fire weapon as others, to give bigger volume of fire ( with easiest full auto control for/with a lesser weight etc.. as we all know ) And precisely why the russians created it and its drum magazine far before westerners thought about making any LMG ( that's innovative and tactically fed by realism )Please, please do not cut off that feature from the original real life weapon in your so promising mod ! -- while M249 and others will have theyr belt fed features eh ! -- That's why they are light machinegungs and not marksmans rifles with prolongated auto fire ability or something else, even if in that case the RPK is more accurate than the AK </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> To aswer your question about grenades, I havent done any rifle grenades, but the AI use the launchers very well, they use them out to 400-450m, you can carry more now too<span id='postcolor'> They use grenades at 400 meters !?

A Freudian slip is an idea he came up with. It means to say something you actually believe or think but you don't want or intend to say.

Ok ok, I know who is Freud, I even read some of his books as i did with some of Jung and some others What I didn't understood was the association with " lip " that I translate for " mistake ".

I clearly and voluntary said thank you to Speedy Monkey because : 1 - For the developper of a mod, replying, answering to ->some<- questions and requests ( or not so formal it's equal )may become tiring or even irritating, just like we were considering by our questions that the developper didn't already deeply thought about the " how " and " why " Â of the features of the mod. 2 - Related to 1, because it means simply I thanks for that communication about theyr job, wich means also by association thanks for theyr job. 3 - related to 1 and 2, best way with my poor english to prepare him to read what I said above that thanks without looking like I was just and only criticizing that choice Try give the correct feeling I am open minded and not that I'd just want to argue as a troll to call for a feature I would like to see in that pack. Maybe it's unclear I'm really sorry my bad english is really a strong barreer for me on those boards. And of course maybe the effect I reached is not the one I wanted because I do not know enough the meanings behind the words of a foreign language. But anyway I said thanks just because I wanted to say it best regards

Yesss !!!
