Its a shame the machinegunners dont automatically go prone when engaging actually, they carry on firing stood or crouched & you can see tracers arcing right up into the sky! then they start reporting they've run out of ammo from firing it all over! :rolleyes: the only problem would be if like the latest danger mode AI bug where they stay in danger mode even when you've told them its safe, they got stuck prone & you couldnt get them back up again!

Really impressed with the effort you ACE lot have been making here, BIS should hire you if they make an Arma 3! All im waiting for now is some single player ACE missions that really take advantage of all the stuff you've put into it! Plenty of little things to be ironed out (noticed no muzzle flash or smoke when firing from a couple of vehicles) but on the whole top marks!

The campaign shipped with the game is ok I suppose with some decent highlights, but I much prefer Bardosys "chesty puller" campaign, its much more like the original OFP campaign where your just a lowly grunt in the field playing your part :)

That happened to me earlier, I just closed it then re-started it again & it went through ok the second time :)

Dont forget the north east of england! :) thats where I live & the area is dotted with dozens of large airfields that were all attacked (even my house has some strafe pockmarks along it from an ME109!) as well as the city of hull being completely flattened! the airfield at Driffield 6 miles from me was regularly bombed by Junkers 88's & there were constant dogfights overhead & night raids by the luftwaffe, dont let the south get all the glory, they forget we got it just as bad up here! :p Anyway mod looks good & i'll definitely be checking it out!

I downloaded six updater, chose a couple of options on the main page, clicked ok & it downloaded ACE core & all the extra stuff & put it neatly into folders for me, all I had to do (figured this part myself) was type the usual modfolder thing into the target line & it all works! :)

I finally got to play this last night! I installed six updater, didnt have a clue what I was doing but chose whatever options it was that downloaded all the ACE files into the relevant folders (it also created them for me which was most helpful) did the usual modfolder links in the ARMA 2 target line, then lo & behold started the game up & got no error codes or anything & all the ACE stuff seemed to be in place :D so great work whoever has made the installation a whole lot easier, it was almost automatic although it did take several hours to download all the ACE files! (I tried 2 weeks back & couldnt get it running) I didnt get chance to play with much of it as by the time it was all set up it was late, but it all seems like good work! Slight performance hit on my 2.5 year old machine but I kind of expected that. Now I just need to find the guide to all the new toys! :cool:

Im glad your making missions without ace to be fair, I cant get the damn fiddly thing to work so am sticking to vanilla until they make it a lot easier to install!

Its been present since Flashpoint, yes its a bit annoying but dont let it ruin the game for you. Just got to accept the limitations of technology at present & enjoy the massive achievement that the game is.

Just played the second mission through, nicely done again! I didnt stick around to see how big the counter attack was, as soon as I saw trees falling in the distance I knew armour was on the way, I ran like a girl! :p Would have been a little better if the mission didnt cut off before you reach the LZ, I was getting excited about having to hold them off with the other squad! Well done though, hope you carry on making missions!theres been a big SP drought on here recently!

Ah right, I definitely didnt wait that long,maybe 3 or 4 minutes at the most, maybe a trigger didnt work on that try?

Very good point, thats one of the reasons I really enjoyed the "chesty puller" campaign, no add ons or mods required! Mods are cool but sometimes you just want to play instead of downloading a load of stuff & tweaking things to get it working right. Il give your next installment a go later! :cool:

Played the first one last night & enjoyed it, really atmospheric & well presented, I left a comment on the armaholic link :) looking forward to playing part 2 after work! any way of linking them all to one campaign once you have made all the missions?

Thanks for that, link seems to be down at the moment but il try again later :)

Right,sorry to be a pain guys but due to the at times unfriendly way this forum seems to be run my perfectly reasonable & polite (in my opinion) question regarding installation of this mod was locked, so please, if possible, could somebody let me know if there is an idiots guide to installing this mod anywhere? Im at best an amateur when it comes to messing around with files etc so could do with a complete step by step guide to getting it up & running without too much techno babble. I have used the search function on here & not found anything particularly helpful, and as a 27 year old bloke with other responsibilities I dont have all day to spend trawling for snippets of info unfortunately! Ive tried the mod folders approach as somebody posted on the armaholic link comments page, but that didnt work either. It looks a great mod from the videos ive watched & I really want to give it a go, so would be most grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction. Thanks

Definitely chesty puller, i'd go as far as saying it should have shipped with the game rather than razor 2 if bardosy had been able to voice all the dialogue! :cool: its the best (and just about only!)infantry based campaign out there so far. The newest update of it with the english briefings & dialogue cleaned up is great!

You could try google earth to pick a section of map to work on,all the terrain is already mapped out for you there :)

Then again, if theres a war going on, maybe the farmers would have abandoned their crops ;)

Theres plenty of mod/add on makers around! I just wish there were more mission makers making SP ones :(

Yeah normally I put them into danger mode as soon as we start taking fire, & leave them in it until the last enemy has been taken down, but before 1.05 I would then put them back into "aware" & they would go back to keeping pace & formation with me & not covering each other to move, but thats not happening now :(

Yeah ive tried that loads of times, but they wont keep pace with me even after ive put them in safe, & they still move really cautiously which is fine when under fire but not when trying to pull back quickly or get somewhere fast. Plenty of others have mentioned it on here since 1.05 came out too. As for the OP asking about add ons, ive added a couple of extra islands & im running VOP sound which works really well. Ive also got the "extra vehicles & weapons" one running. ive tried several others but they didnt seem to work as well as I hoped so I got rid of them. ACE seems to be the one everyones talking about but I havent tried it yet :)

The steamroller mission with vop sound is top, especially when bear team joins the fight! :cool:

Thanks for the update Bardosy! Another excuse to play this campaign through again :D hope you do get the time to make another. There are one or two good islands out there by the community if your looking for a good location for a new one & dont fancy using Chernarus again, the Everon conversion is a nice one

Maybe......just maybe if you consolers bring back the Atari Jaguar controller, but even then you wouldnt have enough buttons for Arma 2 :p
