    Don't include "warfare" mode in the campaign.

    Now, I realize that warfare is a major MP mode (even though I don't play it,) and I think that it's good that BIS has incorporated it into the game for that reason. When I got to the first "warfare" mission in A2, it seemed to work pretty well and make sense--seasoned combat units being given command over less experienced units...

    ...but then I took the village and had to "build" a base and "buy" units. The campaign was brilliant up to that point. I don't think that something Command and Conquer-esque has much place in the main campaign of a mil sim. For me, it was a real immersion killer and a blemish on an otherwise great campaign.

    Other than that, I really have no complaints about Arma 2. It's a very worthy successor to OFP.

    I also hope that Chernarus isn't abandoned, as the Eastern European settings are one of the high points of OFP and A2. Hopefully another expansion will return to it. :p

    totally agree. killed the realistic feel.

    suspension of disbelief.

    i love that phrase! havent heard too many people use it

    You can rename the file to end with .rar instead of .exe and use the oldschool way installing it ;)

    thanks, didnt know that.

    also, my missions from before wont load in the editor because i was using vop sound. is there anyway to use them w/o deleting the line for vop in the mission.sqm? that would be a pain

    AnimalMother92, did you buy these components from Apple themselves or can you just buy them separately from Newegg?

    i bought the original machine from Apple

    the RAM i buy from OWC because it's cheaper.

    the hard drives can be purchased anywhere.

    the GPU i bought from Apple, to replace the 8800GT, but you can purchase it from other stores too.

    ok i got it working and it sounds sweet, but the installation scared the crap outta me. im using the steam version with the linebackers launcher and after i added the @ to the modfolder and tried to launch the game i kept getting a application launch unknown error and arma 2 would not start. had to redo the install path for the launcher and it works now, but ive never had this problem before with any other mod. maybe a .7z file with just the @mod folder inside would be simpler than an installer?

    wow, this is really awesome. i've been waiting for some form of 53.

    i agree with the other posters, could be less shiny. also the size of the tail makes flying in 3rd person view very awkward, idk if this can be remedied.

    what is the code for the init line to make the cargo door open on spawn?

    great job, no errors or anything for me so far :yay:

    There's your problem ...

    j/k :D

    How is gaming on a Mac? AnimalMother, you seem to be sitting high and dry in terms of hardware at least, how's it run other things?

    every game i've tried runs great at high settings @ 1920x1200 with the exception of crysis and arma 2 (before tweaking). half life 2 ep 2, America's army 3, etc all run nicely, even when I had my 8800gt. i bought the gtx 285 hoping that it would help arma 2...

    ok, so i know there have been many posts complaining about the pilots' AI, however I'm wondering if there is a simple way to get them to not do the kamikaze dive.

    in my mission i need air support in Nadezhdino (if you want to check the locale out). the problem is that it is in a valley. ideally when i enter the valley a pair of A-10s show up and strafe up and down the valley taking care of the hard targets in the town whilst my team moves in. sadly the aircraft manage about 2 passes and then decide it would be a good idea to aim straight for a tree/building/ridge/mountain/ground or just about anything nearby but clean airspace. ive tried giving them a flyInheight of 300 meters which they follow but when they get to the town (with a seek and destroy wp) they nosedive!

    should i change the wp type or is there another command i need? i'd like them to hang around awhile so my team doesn't get slaughtered by the heavier forces in the town. if there is a more efficient way to achieve this, please i'm all ears. btw im a noob at scripting so take it easy.

    thanks!

    But if i read the specs of your Mac i doesn't see much "Mac" in it apart of the OS. Can we then still speak about "Mac as hardware"?

    thats kinda my point. macs use a lot of PC components. the beauty of the design (airflow, ease of installing parts, etc) is in the Mac hardware

    *ONTOPIC*

    maybe try adding the -winxp parameter to the .exe?
