Posts like this doesnt really encourage females to join the community either. Game makers are becoming more aware that females enjoys games to and games specificaly made for girls/women are increasing. There are a lot of games that has playable female characters, Tombraider may be the biggest but there are plenty more. @Vampire1994, velcome :)

Awesome :eek: Im of to Chernarus to try this out right now hihihi :p

Perhaps they bought a copy of Arma2 online and realised they cant compete :)

I feel your pain listening to how arcade racing games are hailed as sims. I have gone the long route aswell with Gp1-4, Gp-Legends, GTR series, rFactor etc. Learning to drive without any aids is crucial to get a "feel" for whats happening with the car, especially in longer races. There is nothing that beats the feeling of completing a 40min online race against a large mature field of players, realising that with 5 laps left your tires are overheating so your droping the laptimes a bit and taking care of the tires in the corners while still trying to keep the position and nursing the car to the finish. It doesnt really matter if i end up in the top 10 its the feeling of acomplishment that counts :) I belive my first "racesim" was Indianapolis 500 on the Amiga in 1990, analoge steering with the mouse :cool:

Oh, i completely missunderstood your purpose, i apologize for the intrusion :)

As you point out the forums are for discussions and we have the tracker for bug reporting so were does the scientific reports fit in?

Well as in RL when the bullets start flying tactics goes flying out the window :p . If your on a patrol and have to cross a small field and suddenly get pinned by a larger enemy force that tactic does not apply and there is nothing heroic about it :D, and telling your ai buddy to give covering fire while you move is not that easy. Trevligt med Svenskar här :)

Sounds pretty much like the community issue tracker: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=73478

Im not really sure what you mean here, addons made by you or someone else has to be put in the mission thru the editor to be available ingame.

I think the grass/clutter is fine (very nice) as is, problem is that if you dont see anything from a prone position your only option is to go to crouch position witch leaves you very wunrable and easy for the enemy to spot. I tend to use 3rd person view to circumvent this problem.

Now we can only go crouched or prone, nowere in between so its really hard to see were the enemy is thru the grass/clutter, there should be a feature to raise your head slightly when prone.

If their ordinance is lgb´s then yes, as far as i know the only bombs in Arma2 is lgb´s.

Try lowering "post" witch is a performance killer, and doesnt look that good in my opinion.

Have you tried using the laserdesignator? The planes will not use their lgb unless they have a designated target (witch is correct).

I did a quick test by placing myself as a force recon (with nvg) about 10 meters from a russian soldier (without nvg) at moonless night, i stood infront of him and looked at him thru my nvg and he didnt see me. When i took a step he took a posture i havent seen in ofp/arma1, kinda leaned forward and looked in my general direction but still couldnt see me. It looked as he was trying to listen were i was, i took a few more steps and he shot me. I tried a few variants of crawling slow/fast crouching and it was different each time, once i crawled (slow) right up to him and got the menu for "greeting" him, when i did he responded with "yup?" lol. All put together i think it was scarily real :)

There is no right or wrong, just go about it as you feel and you will learn things. The more experience you get with these games the more you will want to learn, thats the beauty with it. The links given are great places to find information but play some to figure out what kind of info to search for, cause there is alot of it. :)

In multiplayer when someone uses voice in a vehicle on vehiclechanel all i get is screeching noices and then it crashes to desktop. This happend with 1.01 beta and also 1.01 final. Groupchanel seems fine its only in vehiclechanel so far.

Also does Windows settings for bit/hz matter for Arma2? I have 24bit/48000hz in my Win sound settings. @EDcase: Im not trying to hijack ur thread, since its a related question i posted it here instead of creating a new thread.

Mine runs fine in Win7 RC even under stress, no bluescreens. I used to have bluescreens with "stop" about a half year ago, as a last resort i removed/reinstalled the gf-card and mem-sticks and viola! I guess one of them wasnt properly seated, just a tip.

Im also very impressed by Arma2. I loved OFP mostly for the feeling it had, and tried to like Arma1 but the feel was not right. I cant really put my finger on what it was i didnt like about it. But now with just a couple of days with Arma2 all i can say is the feeling is back and if BI can iron out the remaining bugs it will be epic.

For me games in Win7(64) runs much better than they did in Vista(32). Arma2 installs/runs without any problems.

Yes i was hoping someone with "hands on" experience of Arma2 with 512mb + 1gig card would answer as that is the only way to find out. I dont want to throw money on a 1gig card just to find out that there is practicaly no difference. (i have a 512mb HD4870)

I have a HD4870 512mb, how big difference would a 1gig make? Anyone compared 512mb vs 1gig cards?

That is one thing BF2 :eek: did very well (animation of minigun operator).
