this will obviously get deleted, but yeah... he really needs to stop being so anal with his closing/moving of threads. he comes out with some proper narky comments as well sometimes, seems a bit unprofessional to say the least that's all i've got to say, i predict this thread will last all of 5 minutes and will include some predictable posts from people saying "you're a dick" "he's great" etc

ok, scrap nazi... he just seems like a bit of a plank

yes id also like a guide on how to increase grass draw distance, some screen of before and after would also be great !!! anyone able to explain how to do this nice and simply pls ?

how do i go about practicing cas and artillery strikes on targets ? for example say im a soldier how do i give him the option to call in air strikes on targets ? i know he needs a laser targeter thingy and a plane in the sky but how do i actually set this up in the editor so i can simply call in air strikes at will on whatever target i want ? infact how do i even decide what gear i want my soldier to have ?

pls can someone answer the above question ?

say you are patrolling an area and you come up to a town and would like some air recon... 1. can you call in a uav to automatically scan the area for you ? 2. if it does scan the area how exactly does it tell you where the enemies are? 3. does it mark them on the map for you ? 4. do they also appear on your hud or just your map ? 5. can you switch to it somehow so you can see what it's seeing in realtime or is that only possible when you are controlling it from your base ? sorry for all the questions, id just like to get an idea of how it works :)

i have put the mission in the folder mentioned, but can't work out how to access it, anyone able to help ?

no the grass distance is just very very short, it's pretty crap tbh someone posted some tweak you could do which extended it by double the amount, but i haven't been able to find the thread :(

ok i got the grouping sorted (you just drag a line connecting them yes ?) i've got it working, was just wondering what is the deal with the laser designator, how long do you have to lase the target for ? do you just look at it and click once or do you have to hold click and hold the designator there until you see the explosion ? also how many bombs does the plane drop, just the 1 or does it make multiple passes on the target ? ---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ---------- sounds good, def post up the mission :)

thanks for the quick response, really can't be arsed to have to deal with scripting... got no interest in taking things that far no matter how good the results could be... im here to play a game not spend hours doing scripting. so i guess i will try it the easy way, how exactly do i group the two together ?

sorry but WTF !!! you don't think its buggy ? i think what you mean is... "i personally haven't experienced any bugs" just take a look at the troubleshooting forum, the game is riddled with countless bugs, it just so happens you have been lucky enough to not encounter them yet.

how about you just don't open or read these threads if they annoy you so much... think before you type :rolleyes:

i can't bring myself to play on servers with the grass off, it's just so god damn ugly... makes the game look like the original OFP !!! DO NOT WANT !

Hi can someone explain to me exactly what the co-op modes domination and evolution are ? i just assumed co-op was co-op... ie : you had a mission and you went and did it. I had no idea there were 2 different types of co-op (or are there more ???). If someone could explain what domination is and also what evolution is then i would really appreciate it. I wish the manual included stuff like this, the manual is so disappointing, it missed out so many important things which noobs need to know !

i can't find any "dispersion" module ? anyone care to shed some light as to where it is ?

yes, please can someone explain it nice and simply for complete and utter noobs like myself

do they seriously see through hills ? what the ....

yeah it's gonna be like arma 1 where you sink into the terrain, looks absolutely retarded and doesn't really disguise the player either. weak

anyone ?

you fail miserably at humor

yup it's a huge problem for me, everything looks amazing up close but the stuff in the distance looks truly terrible. like you say it effects gameplay in a huge way, surely this can be fixed in someway ? it makes sniping stupid, you lie in the grass thinking you are hidden but someone a few hundred metres away can't see the grass and thus in reality you are completly exposed. it's beyond retarded and amazing that something this huge can be overlooked by the devs.

link to such threads ? i have looked but couldn't find these 2-3 very minor changes

idiot

but can you get the ai to do that ? i realise its possible in multiplayer as you can just ask another person to fly over but say you are doing singleplayer and are stuck on the ground just outside a town... is it possible to ask for an ai chopper/plane etc to come and scout out the area for you and then report back to you with any targets (either via radio chatter or the enemies being marked on the map). If so... how do you do this ? also i thought you just said the UAV was useless for recon as it just crashes as soon as it spots enemies ? how could it be of use if this is what it does ? sorry for the noob like questions, im just trying to get to grips with this game... it's really quite confusing !
