  1. If you adjust the fade too far it can be a bit of a jolt as things start to fade then suddenly silence and black screen then it explodes into action again. I was fortunate to be able to find just the right spot where it would get enough preload to avoid ugly LODs and not have it activate fully, it can be abusive to the senses, not sure if you can do much about it but some folks will find it problematic. I really enjoyed fiddling with it. Great fun to play with.
  2. There are 4000 posts in this thread, how likely is it that someone will happen to see such things here, or that they will remember to document it while trying to help the dozens that come here with questions about installing and running the mod? It's a matter of practicality, not wanting to ignore anyone. :)

    Bohemia Interactive's future ARMA 3!

    CE2 was packaged to sell to other developers, VR is not, hence the difference, same with Unreal. Indy developers like BIS create their own engines because the mainstream engines built for making the cookie cutter games we see released all the time do not offer the features that they need to develop their projects. If VR had been designed to be packaged and sold to other development companies it would be much different.
  4. You should post this in the ArmA 2 forums.... http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=75962 p.s. great vid

    online heli lock-on

    try a different server ad see if it was something serverside
  7. Yes, well I would suggest, don't play it anymore since DNA said it wasn't even supposed to be in there. Repeatedly getting jammed up could be hard on your system.

    Noob in need of help. Please.

    I've been playing on Vanilla servers all week and nobody called you ignorant, just lazy. (me) Wolle gave you a helpful tip and you got pissy about it, expect the responses you received. Right click ArmA 2 in your Steam games list and choose view player manual to get the game manual. He said to read the readme files with the mods (some have special instructions) and despite your whining, sites like Armaholic have a link on every download page to instructions on installing custom mod folders.
  10. You don't get updates on every unit on the map, just the ones that you can see (occlusion) and the scale is not the issue. ArmA 2 is big, but not the biggest game out there. Also, the complaint is about AI and not human players, meaning if human players don't see it the way the AI does, it is an AI issue.

  14. Odd, I clicked it and I became an old woman wandering around on the Khe Sahn, even passed a scenario where I had to avoid enemies and survive.... ---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ---------- Does it to me every time and when challenges come up, I still remain on the ship. ---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ---------- Finally got in, but no troubles with it yet.

    Why is this game not more popular?

    And yet there aren't people falling over themselves to get those people behind the wheel 'easier' :D

    It is working properly, you just seem to be trying to join modded servers and downloading random user made content without knowing what it is or what to do with it. It appears that you aren't willing toput forth the effort yourself that you are asking of others....
  17. So how is it that you are doing this same scenario over and over again? Are you choosing it right out? Sounds more like a mission to me, what unit are you using to get this scenario?

    Why? Because some incompetent in D.C. thinks a top heavy truck that has a tendency to burn as often as any other vehicle is a good idea? As you said, the HMMWV will still be in service.

    You would be amazed at how many people cannot even do that.
  20. Awards from who? Awards these days mean nothing, they are handed out like candy. You either like what they do or you don't but don't bring up meaningless awards.
  21. In answer to the OP, we'd have a lot more hookers.

    Aside from the issues it would cause on the servers and the potential for unsuspecting people to download viruses there is also the fact that there are many mods that require an individual to do editing on the client side for it to operate. I don't exactly have a problem with the concept but the idea that a person wanting to use 3rd party content finds it too inconvenient to understand what they are installing and how it works/changes their game just sends me for a loop, it's like buying turbo tax and expecting it to enter the correct info for you without you having to type. Custom content is a MAJOR selling point to those already familiar with it since we already expect the campaign to be mediocre at best and for online modes that ship with the game to be a waste of time. The way you want them to care about custom content, you'll be wanting them to regulate it too so that nobody downloads a crappy mod and is disappointed. ---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ---------- Except you have to be trained to drive a car, right? So far they haven't released a car that drives for you. Nevermind customizing one. Sure, I can see being annoyed at not being allowed to fly, but everyone is familiar with servers having rules about one thing or another, that isn't a stumbling block for the game, neither is installing ACE which is a 3rd party mod and is also still in Beta, which anyone would know after a few minutes of reading. I agree that there are things that could be improved and streamlined, but they can only go so far. I've seen a ton of people complain about user made missions because they were complex and the player didn't know where to start. They need to make some solid stuff that comes with the game right out of the box, but beyond that, who is gonna hold your (not you specifically) hand when you log on to a server like that. Sounds like you were on a Domination server that has a mobile spawn unit, so likely people were quite able to get to the fight, just didn't know how. If you couldn't get any help you weren't on a good server with good people, that's a fact of life in every game.
  23. They can be moved in user made missions using scripts, just not in BIS provided missions.
