I think by pressing T you can take over the ai and drop there ammo, that at least would stop them shooting -

Joysticks Track IR and accessories for Arma 2
polecat.uk replied to esfumato's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - GENERAL
I use a logitech wingman extreme, I've had this stick for at least 10 years and never had a problem with it, very cheep to buy and great to fly choppers with, you dont need pedals ( twist the stick for rudder) low flying is all to do with throttle control and this stick works for me as i sit back from the monitor and rest the stick on my leg using my thumb to control the throttle. -
Sounds like you alt-tabbed out of the game if not then maybe your gfx driver crashed

Will my PC Run this? What CPU/GPU to get? What settings? System Specifications.
polecat.uk replied to Placebo's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
I think your right Leon, I have been thinking about updating the cpu but was trying to hold of until arma 3 was in the shops, I will go with an i7 2600k it should be fine with arma 3 I hope. -

Hi troops, I won a gtx 285 on ebay £70 :)but don't get it until next week, i have a 285 and I am going to sli them, at the moment i'm getting 35 fps at high settings on bench 1, has anyone got any clues to what ill see after i sli them. -
What i have in mind is a 2 stage roll first stage would be pressing Q or E once while prone would roll you onto your back and let you bring your weapon onto anyone sneaking up behind, the scope cant be used but you will be able to fire from the hip, stage 2 would be pressing Q or E twice would give you a full roll.

Awful graphics/LOD making unrecognisable things (or bad settings)

I would try turning off post processing if you have that on high. -

I wasn't quoting you, i was talking to the op :) I know this is off topic but i have been looking into water cooling for my next pc (arma3) and was looking at some of the rads the're selling on ebay at crazy prices :eek: so though i would give anyone thinking of going down this root a tip, use a car matrix for your rad seen them on ebay for a vw pole, golf, £20 and free post and its bigger than most pc rads 4"x10" i think of the top of my head

I cleaned my own pc afew weeks ago, its first in 3 years, all fans blocked solid my gfx card temps were in the 80s on full fan load playing arma 2, now there in the 60s with 70% fan load, but the game still plays as it did, why would the game get more fps with just cleaning it? if your pc gets to hot ie gfx card or cpu the pc will just shut down, if my gfx card hit 83 while playing arma my pc crashed, I had to buy a new cpu cooler as the old one fell to bits when i remove it, so take that into account when cleaning your pc

Look at the far right in the middle you can see a small red mist where it ends, maybe blood mist? You could be right Big dawg

Btw, is it just me or something looks fishy about this shot? http://www.zing.cz/screenshoty/2625/arma-3/fullscreen-43896 That line looks weird, if you look to the right edge of the screen shot you can see it on the grass but the line stops at the guy standing

That tanks turret looks like its just waiting for an rpg to get under it and blow it off. Nice trailer but if its not in game then whats the point.

What if CryEngine was used as Arma 3 future engine?
polecat.uk replied to jonneymendoza's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - SUGGESTIONS
I know this is not arma but interesting all the same. US Army spending $57 million on military simulator using CryEngine 3 http://www.vg247.com/2011/05/27/us-army-spending-57-million-on-military-simulator-using-cryengine-3/ just found the trailer for it -
Grass cover, I'm not going to get into it as its been talked about a lot, but for me its the biggest let down in arma, i hate that i can be hiding in a forest thinking I'm in full cover only to be shot from 1k away, because really I'm sticking out like a crow with a flare in its ass.

You need to install Arma2 and AO, then you need to update them (arma2 to 1.59, AO to 1.09) this will give you the best chance to play online -

Just like to thank everyone that worked on the patch;) I had problems when i first installed, but that was down to AToC, i set that back to (0) and the games running great on my setup, feels like a big improvment -

BI Developer's Blog: An interesting new entry

There going after dragon rising, well it looks like a big red dragon to me:p:confused: -
I would use the mk 17 sniper and i have hit the bad guy 6 times before he went down, I seen a friend shot with a british army SLR, 1 shot to the back and it left a big hole we're his lung used to be, there is no way he was for fighting. It should only take one shot to stop the ai shooting back, it may not kill them but it should take the fight out of them, if i get hit with one shot i couldnt hit the side door of a barn as my guns all over the place but the ai have no problems at all returning fire and hitting you. As for hand in front of the torso lol, hands or arms wont stop bullets just meens you will have a hole in your hand and torso.
