Thanks for all your work, this is essential to ArmA2

Hey guys, just for fun I copied my GMJ folder from A1 to A2 and it works! However there is an error that reads like this Variable '_disp' does not support serialization. Call 'disableSerialization' in the current script (maybe 'GMJ_SightAdjustment\scripts\SightAdjustmentInit.sqf') if you need to use it. Don't know what this means or how to fix it, I've looked at the scripts but am afraid to change them since I don't know how. But after this error the addon actually works, you have the rangecard and everything. I put a target ~550m away got the M24 fired and dropped short, adjusted to 8 MOA per the range card, fired and hit dead on. I'm sure this is a simple fix for any of you scripters, maybe someone could port it over to A2 with GMJamzes permission (although I think he left the community, not sure about that though). Any help?

@Clawhammer, a new community member IrishDeviant is working on a brand new F22 and it is looking awesome. Check out his work on the 'things you are working on thread'

Any updates/bugfixes?

Well that seems ok, they're open for public use right? I'm confused, are we happy or angry with SARMAT now? I want more planes so I'm hoping we're happy.

Well now I feel like an ass for saying I was looking forward to it. What I meant to say was "shame on you SARMAT!"

Awesome guys, I'll be looking forward to this. It's clear we need some more OPFOR aircraft hope it goes well.

What is CBA?

armedassault.info and armaholic in addition to the modsaddonscomplete thread here at BIS are the standard. Or actually, I think if you post it here at the complete thread the admins from AAinfo and Armaholic post it themselves

Sooooo......should we release it to the public then?

Noamles, you rock, I'm your number one fan now. Let's try and get in touch with GMJames and see if we can't get this out to public after testing. However, I'm fairly certain he left and gave permission to use his stuff in the future in doing so, but I can't find that message so I don't want to assume. I'll PM him and see if we can't get something going. In the meantime, let me know how it works out. Edit: GMJames left the community here in case you don't want to follow the link here is his exact words. "Hi all, in case you were wondering why there haven't been any updates anymore: I fried my graphics card - a 8800 GTS - and used the current situation of not having a decent graphics card to quit gaming altogether. To all modders, you may use this code in any way you want - go crazy Also, many thanks to Solus for the extended init handler! greets, Oliver." So I'm pretty sure that means we can use his code to bring it to ArmA2

Looking good Irish, I'll be checking this thread often for sure. I just wanted to say how much we all appreciate you making an addon from scratch. We love the effort people take in porting OFP addons to A1 and then A2 but this is really cool to see a truly new model. Keep up the good work.

This is simply awesome guys, I'm very happy to have found this thread. I found the tutorials back in the OFP days but many of them were never completed so I could never finish whatever I had started. It has always seemed to me that I could never make any addons because I didn't have the knowledge and the people that did have it could not be bothered with mentoring someone like me who has absolutely zero experience. So I am looking forward to your tutorial Rock, and as an aircraft fan I am also looking forward to your work IrishDeviant. However, what I am looking forward to most is the ability to contribute. I've been part of this community for years and have always been upset with those who criticize the work of others while doing nothing themselves. So the sooner a comprehensive noob guide can be written the sooner people like me can start.

I didn't really read this thread since it is clearly a heated debate. Let me just say that my Trackir 5 is awesome and I'm happy to pay the money for it. For those of you who disagree and feel that freetrack should be in ArmA2 see this thread where they announce that freetrack is now in ArmA2.

Hey vasmkd, vanilla version already comes with this. On a different note, I would like to see Mig25 Foxbat F15 - air and ground variants.

I was looking for an old OFP script that allows tanks to be dropped out of the C130 and I found this I posted it to the ACE2 thread because I was hoping the scripts for this addon would be incorporated into their mod, maybe you can use them too since this has arial refueling.

Hey guys, I'm really excited about A.C.E.2 coming out. I had a suggestion and wondered if you guys might consider it. One of the things I like about ArmA2 is that it comes with a lot of cool stuff in the vanilla version, one of which being the C-130. Remember in OFP and A1 when we had to wait for someone to make/port the c130? Glad BIS figured it out and gave us one. Anyway, this may have been mentioned already, but I think it would be cool to script an airdrop for the C130 such as tanks like this Also, I remember from the OFP days someone made a script to make this possible, I haven't been able to find it, but did find an interesting addon that might make this possible from HAWKs C130 released in 2003 here Here is a quote of what the 2003 OFP C-130 is capable of "The plane has the capability of carrying cargo and parachute release while flying.It also have, a group bail out command so you parachute the whole group (not exactly like ejecting It also carries a script to order AI pilots to perform such tasking using action menu.Hawk has implemented a mid air refueling capability (reference S7_Mega post). The plane can extend a fuel hose and perform a mir air refueling to other planes an helis" Anyway, I'd love to see if this old OFP classic could be disected and implemented into the A2 C-130 with permission from HAWk of course. What do you think Sickboy?

I installed the new patch, and started the "Delaying the Bear" mission, and my squad won't move or do anything. They just stand there totally unresponsive to commands or me moving.

Nascarbuc was right, after taking the first town in badlands your AI comes back. It doesn't matter which side you are with from Bitter Chill. Your AI stops working in Delaying the Bear and starts working again after the cutscene that follows you taking Novy Sabor in Badlands. So it's not a permanant issue, but an issue that should probably get fixed regardless.

Ok, I'll try the next mission solo and see if my guys come back after taking the town, thanks for the help. Hopefully this thread will make it to the attention of BIS and the issue get solved with next patch. Thanks again.

Anybody?

@mrcash2009; to humor you I tried it, and it didn't work. We're not talking about Ai being less responsive, we're saying 100% totally non-responsive, thanks for trying though.

Yes I reverted, I restarted, I shut down my computer and then tried again, same thing every time. ---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ---------- I just beat the mission on my own, made it to the next one and got the same thing. My squad is totally unresponsive they just stand there. Can anyone help?

Sooooo, I was hoping the game would be available for download like the German version is. Is this not the case?

Thanks Carl, I appreciate the reply. Does anyone know how to make vehicles liftable by blackhawks?
