from the arma2 RPT: Cannot create non-ai vehicle GLT_GBU12_LGB, Im guessing I need teh GLT bomb pack thing that the F16 comes with. Will give that a go. And yes im running everything from mod folders, tested with and without beta patch, with other mods, and with just @mma loaded. Edit: works perfectly now that i have the glt_missilebox addon loaded too :) Am i a moron and failed to read some required addons section somewhere?

Hmm.. i think something might actually be wrong with the LGB camera... if i have the F35 in VTOL mode and just hover 50m above ground, and target the ground directly below me, release the bomb, nothing explodes below me... Same happens if im actually on the ground. Is there some kind of safety that makes this not work and thus is a useless test? :O Edit: and after releasing a bomb through the LGB camera, if i instantly switch to external view there is no sign of a bomb dropping from the plane... whereas i can manually release a LGB through the standard BIS fire control, and watch it drop almost all the way to the ground..

Awesome! But im having some trouble with the LGB camera on A10/AV8b, etc... am i supposed to be able to designate LGB targets myself from the camera? I get a lock, for example, on a t72, circle and square etc, both arrows pointing inwards towards the target, and im flying on a relatively flat path directly over the target, around 1200m, and no matter what happens i just cannot get the bombs to hit the target... i dont even see an explosion anywhere near the target area...

SSDs arent quite as effective as a RAM disk, however they have other advantages like.. you can actually install windows onto it too and increase overall performance outside of arma, but still a hell of a lot better than a regular HDD... and theres no need to copy from HDD to RAM every time you boot, giving you a shit long load time. But after trying the latest beta patch, the improvement made me drop my plans to buy a SSD just yet and im no longer playing around with a RAM drive...

Eh... they can just look in the mirror? :S

Just curious... are people trying the latest beta patch before shelling out $100+ on memory for this workaround?

unless im mistaken these commands arent supposed to be relative to any kind of target, but just to make the squad/member go further ahead/left/right/etc, relative to you and hold that distance until you give them an order that overwrites this

Launch it from the "Launch Arma2 with beta patch" shortcut in your steamapps/arma2 dir. I think.

Youd best get learning how to do it then. Plus we had this discussion last month. /thread

Its impossible to do it "3D Scope" style. so we're stuck with cardboard 'n hole, or full screen zoom with silhouette of a scope. neither is glamorous.

holy crap. I'll be drooling on this thread mashing refresh till it comes out :O

remove old beta patch?

Isnt it on the M249? from memory. i could be talking crap.

you mean the crosshair? remove the nocrosshair pbo...

sounds like you need to learn how to use mod folders and perhaps get an arma2 launcher to simplify loading arma with or without certain mods. bisign files should be with the .pbo's, and this will allow you to play on servers which allow it. There are some servers which also have no mod restriction at all (from what i can tell).

i think we had a discussion about this some time ago and yeah, its not possible in arma2 to have just whats through the scope to be zoomed. IIRC one of the best suggestions that came out of thta was to have it so you could still see around the scope, but have a blur filter for everything outside of the scope.

It has a zoom. kind of. The whole screen is zoomed, even that what you see outside the scope. I dont think thats especially realistic, but what the hell.

actually its belgian :o

GPMG is basically the same as a M240 though.

The beta installer creates a shortcut to start the beta patch in your arma2 dir. Use that.

...says the guy who started this thread to ask for advice on how to spend his money to get a good fps?

generally save games dont work across patching. this is normal.

have you tried the latest beta patch also? Seems to be a lot of very good optimisation with texture streaming.

What about with the latest build released today?

Only when i drop mouse smoothing to below around 20% on the slider.
