BIS is in need of cash. They are a small company. They do not have a big game/sim portfolio to bring in the cash, say like EA. They had to release ArmA in it's bug ridden state just to pay the electrical bills. But ArmA/OFP is such a niche game/sim they will have to keep doing these "expansions" to keep from going under. Fine by me. If I have to pay to keep this excellent game/sim going by buying "expansions" so be it. But they better deliver bug fixes/additional content in these "expansions" and not just some stinking missions. I get those for free.

Check other posts. I have the setup and it works perfect. Hint: Use the pro pedals software to set your left right keys/mouse.

What makes me kinda upset is the SecureRom fix. I had to buy a new DVD drive just to load the game!!! Why could they not release that DAY ONE???

Same here Mr_Tea. I have a similar setup only with 2GB of RAM and dual 3.4Ghz Xeons. I think it is the 7600 GS 512Mb card we are using. I run everything on High. My ArmA runs silky smooth. No CTD's or texture problems. My rig (HP xw8200): Dual 3.4Ghz Xeons. 2Gb RAM dual channel Four 70Gb 10,000 RPM Ultra-SCSI in RAID 10 evga 7600GS 512Mb PCIe (no fan version) WinXP SP2 (always up to date with latest certified drivers,etc..)

Think I got that mission set off of armaholic. I was playing the 3rd mission where you take out the D-30's/AA on top of the mountains. The second mission is a SEAL beach mission. BTW, I have never had any problems with ArmA. CTD's/graphics, etc... Game runs smooth as silk with everything on High. I run it on 1024x768 with 16:4 widescreen on a 22 in flat screen. My specs: HP xw8200= two 3.4Ghz 64bit Xeons 2Gbyte DDR2 RAM four 70Gbyte 10,000 RPM Ultrawide SCSI hard drives in RAID 10. evga PCI-e 7600 GS 512Mbyte (no fan version) MERC keyboard (awesome for ArmA) Microsoft wireless mouse Saitek x52 full setup Stick/throttle/pedals Windows XP SP2 32bit version

Great job. Works great. Installed easily. Played the BUDS missions with it and it made it much more enjoyable. Now we just need a English manual to figure out how to use most of it and maybe some bug fixes. Once again great job.

It is a securerom problem. If you research securerom you will see it does not work with certain brands of drives. I had to buy a new DVD drive for my son's computer to get the game to load because of securerom.

I have the MERC version and my son uses the older version. They make the game easier to play in my opinion. We use the ARAMA key setups you get from the program. We love it.

Just wondering what are the next big fixes BI is working on for the next patch release? 1.08 was huge. Maybe they are taking a summer break?

As a former Army helicopter pilot I have been watching this thread and laughing the whole time. Would it not be easy just for you to google the answer? BIS has done a ok job. But it is just a game and it would take a super computer to correctly sim a helicopter. No game/sim has ever come close to the real thing. I will give you one example: ETL (Effective Translational Lift). Look it up. No game/sim has ever modeled that and that is a basic helicopter flight principle. BIS has done a ok job with using the pedals at slow speeds and using them to trim at high speeds.

I am not a modder in the least since. So I will ask the talented community out there if they could make a OH-58D Kiowa Warrior ADDON. It was in OFP. Would it be too much to ask for the MMS (TV/TIS/laser) to work from the left seat also? Thanks. Scouts Out!!!
