This puzzled me too - the other islands were easily done by commanding the walrus to capture it via the map. Whereas nothing happened with this island. After a bit of trial and error the solution is to manually control the Walrus, and drive the last couple of meters til you get the icon, then hit F (or return to the map and do it that way). Basically he stops short, just on this island. Bug.

Tell you what I'd REALLY like... After the last island is captured (currently the game just ends) the game continues and you have to find and then battle the enemy carrier. Yes - it's probably run out of fuel somewhere. Yes - it'll be a challenge to find it, and you'll need to make a note of where you last saw it, and have a think about where it was probably heading. Yes - this is what I want! Closure. The great end battle, fighting a starving unsupported enemy, kicking him when he's down. The feeling I'm fighting a desperate loser - not unlike smashing the Bismark to bits. From memory this is how the original played out. Of course the Timewarp feature will have to be disabled for this to work.

Carrier timewarp pathfinding error. When travelling from Lingard (the south bay - I drove into about 100m off the shore, and pointed it straight at Styx before warping), it showed a zig to the east across land to the west side of the island, then a zag to Styx - but the carrier stayed put in the bay. Water was 300. deep, and no blocking from shore. Waited a few mins while the warp graphic showed then quit.

Hear hear. And there's truly NO other developer worth trusting with this sacred gaming jewel (well, apart from Pandemic in 1998... and Stardock wouldn't make a mess of it :) ). But yeah, it's ace, and a wonderful rare case of exceeded expectations.

Good idea! A little display too, showing which guns are damaged and not working would be nice as well. Mildly off topic, I've noticed that when the guns engage in auto mode they will fire at a target even if it's obscured by land (small hills etc). And they just keep hammering away. That'll chew ammo needlessly, but I'm sure that's one thing they're looking at. e: just played again and noticed there IS a diagram of the guns, top left - never noticed in the heat of battle, but now I know it's there I like the size and position of it.

Needs a group select - like ctl + 1, etc. I know you can hold ctl and then click each unit to get group control, but it's impossibly fiddly and time consuming in the heat of battel, and when you have mantas on top of walrii. Need to be able to group all air units, and all ground units as a single ctl + #.

Froze during regular island combat attacking ground units with mantas. Sound continued. Where'd this issue tracker?

Ahh, thank you. Also fixed the mouse lag following advice given earlier - dropped post processing to zero, RESTARTED, and now all good. Further thoughts/questions on time warp - what happens in the real world when I'm warping? Does production, enemy activity etc speed up to stay in sync with accelerated warp time? If there was an option to eliminate warp and cruise around at real time, will enemy activity and the speed it does stuff be such that it's feasible to do this without being overrun while you travel?

It has the Carier Command feel, and I love that. Too many positives, initial negatives: Mouse movement again. Really nasty - especially combined with the too-small nav buttons in the game. Controls and buttons need to be much bigger. A 'reset to default' option in controls please. Needs many hot keys - 'next gun' on the carrier a big one. Hot keys or buttons to jump to a SPECIFIC gun on the carrier - not just 'next'. Show waypoint back to carrier when manually controlling vehicles needed. A disable time warp option please - the original game gave a fantastic feel of scope, of 'being there', and giving you contemplative time as you travelled across the seas.

Anyone figured a way/script/mod to properly separate the rudder from the yaw that joystick inputs seem to override? At slow speeds I can rudder the heli left or right, but after a certain point it rubbers back to center. I want to be able to have total control over where the heli is pointing, independent of the heli's direction of travel. So I can, say, be honking along at speed at a heading, but point the nose at another direction. Just like real choppers. Right now it half works, but at a point the 'auto-rudder' over-rules my input. Which is both false flight modelling and a pain in the arse. Yes, I know Arma 2 isn't a flight sim, but this is basic easy stuff that would add greatly to the enjoyment, gameplay, tactical use of heli's and just overall sweetness of the game. If that didn't make sense, I want to be able to do this:

No, it's not. It's a curious compromise. There should be an 'arcade' model, where there's no rudder control at all, and banking auto-tunes the rudder. And there should be a 'sim' mode, where the rudder can be controlled free of cyclic inputs. And an analogue throttle...

It works *best* in the dark :) Ambient light can cause false readings by the camera - though only when there's 'pinpoints' of light - ie. a lamp behind you, or a slice of sunlight shining through blinds. Get it, won't regret it.

Did you per chance put it in the users\my documents\arma 2 missions folder? It should go in the game install directory - arma2\missions That said, I've had mystery 'no show' .pbo files that were in the right place, but just don't appear...

Njay - just drop it in the 'missions' folder in your Arma2 dir. Then it'll appear in the 'scenarios' menu. Easy.

Brilliant! A worthy successor to Day 1. I like this one better, opening battle is epic, and the (albeit short) distance to travel adds much realism. I didn't really go for Day 1's base right beside the enemy attack, though get where you were coming from with the scenario. Loved the area you chose. Plenty of nice forest-enclosed paddocks to pop up and down from. Played it a few times now. Wasting my 2 sidewinders on enemy choppers before I was taken down later by the 2 SUs taught me well... :) Keep it up man, you're doing the best chopper combat mission out there!

*sigh*

'Comanche'. 1 x 'm'. Sorry for being a sp nazi, but I see this one sooo often and it grind me up :)

Good job man.

All brilliant. I do get a fuzzed up sound cut out sometimes, always when I'm right next to an armoured unit, or within a few metres of it. Sound cuts completely, but resumes if I move away. Estimate that happens 30-40% of the time I'm in the above circumstances.

Brilliant. Loved the mournful gaze at the Wiimotes and Spongebob. LOLed at the thingo holding run down. Good job! Thanks!

As PC gamers, we're used to getting our heads around the wonderful fun that video options present us with. Thanks to these options screens, the greater mass now understands what the hell anisotropic filtering is, and the rest. But why, BIS, introduce an all-new setting never before seen, that is ambiguous in meaning, where there is no precedent, and despite endless forum posts on your own site - offer NO EXPLANATION? Leaving us to speculate, trial and error test and end up in a bloody mess of confusion? Can ONE member of the BIS team take 2 MINUTES to post and explain? ...please...? It's like you hate us and are laughing at our collective confusion.

I'm all for giving props for a job well done. But this is a shameful failure. Scenario 1: BIS tested this analogue config and thought it was a great job, release. Scenario 2: BIS did not test this config at all, and shoved it out. Am I missing any other possible scenarios? Pitiful attempt BIS. Please, do a proper job next time. As my Dad always says - "do it once, do it well". This patch fix is hardly a major code rework. 5 minutes of testing is all you need to do to satisfy hundreds of thousands of users, who will spend cumulative bloody billions of hours using this feature (exaggeration for effect). Or are we cutting into coffee break time here boys? PLEASE FIX NOW. Still love you.

Thoroughly enjoyable, thanks!

The issue isn't the download time - it's that in many countries net access is capped, and users either have to pay huge rates (like a couple of dollars per MB over the cap), or are throttled back to dialup speed over the cap. In Australia, most users are on >10GB monthly plans. So this is half the quota. And yes, as a particularly attitudey person pointed out on the previous page, larger caps are available, but not in all areas... See the problem? But yes, regardless, thanks BI for this and the ongoing work on the game we love.

Can confirm too mods do not appear to be affected, or game settings.
