    Terrorattack in Norway's capital, Oslo.

    I agree, there is a picture on a forum that was linked to as :/ , it was shot from a long distance in a helicopter and is thankfully very blurry, thos you can see enough to see the gunman standing jus watching someone who's begging for their life. Saddest thing I've ever seen.

    I was unsure but i pm'ed a mod and let them know it contained details on how to make a car bomb. Not sure if that was the reason but i think it's understandable.

    Kind of sad what he wrote about call of duty I guess in this case cod wins over arma, as what he did certainly is not anything to do with military tactics.

    No, i just quickly read militaryphotos.net forum this morning which had some qoutes. I'm not certain but i think there was a document and his actual book (1600 pages).

    So apparently he had planned this for many years and wrote a book about the whole thing. Some of the quotes i've read are quite disturbing.

    Cant see the names of other players

    Also if you don't have cross hairs on it wont show even when you center over an ally. This happens regardless if tags are on or off.

    Seems to be an issue. I just got an email saying it's a problem they are trying to fix.

    So are you guys liking the free graphics?

    I have a lower end pc, (amd x2 4200+,8800gt), is there any way to get the lower textures on my Arma2 CO baf install? Or is it just the same as lowering the texture quality through menus?
  10. Right got it, thanks for the help guys.
  11. Careful guys, your walking in dangerous water, not showing any respect like that to codemasters property ;)
  12. I created three missions for Winter Nogojev‎: 1.1, if i understand correctly this is just a winter version of Kolgujev? If i exchange the unit classesnames and change it to require kolgujev would the missions work correctly; anyone please know? Don't have cwr demo and would like to know this so I don't use all my monthly Broadband to try. Regardless this would be a good time to say thanks very much cwr team, your efforts are greatly appreciated.
  13. Thanks very much for the help guys.
  14. Hello i noticed in the EW official mission that the town names were different. Is it possible to hide them on the map without an addon (i.e for a mission)? cheers
  15. Hey but on myth busters i saw... ohh wait nevermind.

    Arma: Cold War Assault

    Ok thanks, I take it red hammer is missing from it? There was one good mission in it i remember, you got to create defenses and had to hold out against attack. Wont be missed much though, it was the perfect example of the difference between bis and cm. Some rambo against the world vs long tactical campaigns :)

    Arma: Cold War Assault

    Hmm, so this means that those with the original ofp cwc but not resistance get resistance for free? Little confused why this is released as a full game rather than another patch?

  21. Yes thats very true with insects but if you can get close enough to use extension tubes with a tripod, i would say your chances of focus stitching are high (obviously with insects that aren't in flight, in which case the challenge is often just to catch the correct focus in the first place). When i was referring to tilt shift i was meaning the extended plane of focus you can get with them, not fixing distortion/pincushioning which has dedicated plugin in most image editing programs for repairing.
  22. That's why i suggested to Derbysieger to look into focus stacking, you don't need to choose... it takes no more time than blending exposures or Hdr and lets you shoot at optimum aperture. Personally i would think you might get better results focus stacking properly (5.6-f8) with the cheapo 70-300 non IS than at f22 with 1-400. It's the same with a lot of things in photography. You can spend $$$$ or take a little more time and do it in post for the same result, e.g tilt shift lenses==focus stacking, Grad Neutral density filters== exposure blending (not butchered hdr) etc As far as i remember, sensor size and how much a lens can resolve have the greatest effect on diffraction, so your findings seem to sound right. One limits the other though. The below example shows the effect on a medium format camera, which has a "sensor" many times the size of the 7d's. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-diffraction.shtml Anyway, i think focus stacking is worth the effort.
  23. Umm mate, i never said you didn't know, i was just adding my opinion to try and help Derbysieger.
  24. Yep extension tubes are great, provided the lens you use with it is decent. However, you also have to get a lot closer than with a dedi macro lens so it can be a lot harder to shoot insects. Kenko extension tubes are suppose to be good value for money. Btw if you have a decent tripod, focus stacking (or focus merging) at about f8-f11 will get you much cleaner results than shooting at f22; I think as whole it's best to avoid above f13 (f11 on crop body) whenever you can because of defraction. You can focus stack in cs4 or later or there are some dedicated programs for free. I recommend PTGui if you have the $.
