Carrier Command and Arma Tactics maybe http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?144539-New-Arma-title-revealed-at-CES-Arma-Tactics

I hope at least they release the upgraded buildings, so they can be implemented in user made islands. Imagine e.g Podagorsk with enterable buildings :D

If you search the forum there is 176 posts with UAV in the titel. http://forums.bistudio.com/search.php?searchid=719157 I think the consensus is that the UAV don't work very well for anything but observation.

Personally I think you should stick to one screen. Playing while looking at the bezel in the middle of the picture must be terrible. If you want to try you can fiddle around with these commands in the config: uiTopLeftX=0.44118974; uiTopLeftY=0.26499999; uiBottomRightX=0.55881023; uiBottomRightY=0.73500001; I could not figure out how they worked when I tried to fix my bezel correction offset of my UI, and I'm not sure it will affect the crosshair.

So no X-Com quality action RTS then I reckon? :)

Holy smoke! just took a Geländewagen for a spin around this map. Amazing quality! Very detailed villages and those micro terrain forests should provide for some interesting infantry fights.

90 was just an example. just try with different values in the Fov calculator. Personally I use 110. The stretching i was talking about in my earlier post was the wrong aspect ratio you where running. That makes objects look out of shape. You can see this in the video settings in game, at the top you have a grey circle and square. If you have wrong aspect ratio the square will appear rectangular and the circle will appear elliptic. Just like it is in the picture you posted here: http://www.abload.de/img/arma2oa_2012_10_13_13umr68.jpg If you calculate the fov values according to my previous post you will see a proper circle and square. The stretching on the side of the screen is a another issue. That is how computer games are made. Because you try to perceive the game world through a very small window aka your monitor, they use different scaling solutions to cram more info on to your screen. It looks sort of like a fish eye effect on cameras. The higher field of view the more info on your screen, but it will also give you a more distorted picture. Stretched at the sides and in the middle objects will look much further away then they really are. If you hold down right mouse button (a real time function to decrease fov) in arma. You will have a more correct 1:1 scale of you surroundings making it easier to estimate range and size of objects, but you will also lose a lot of your peripheral vision. Low fov value = more realistic view scale, less picture distortion, very little peripheral vision high fov value = less realistic view scale, more picture distortion, better peripheral vision Experiment with fov values and see what suits you best. With the new Nvidia drivers you can press ctrl+alt+b and switch between normal and bezel corrected resolution. Very handy in games that dosen't have UI customized to 3 screens with bezel correction.

Since you clearly didn't even bother to read up on the subject you shouldn't really expect any help. Anyways. I calculated the fov values for you so you, or anyone else who wonder about this, can enjoy some proper multi screen gaming without the stretched picture. With res 5760x1080 and a desired fov of 90, you get a vertical fov of 22 degrees which is 0.38 radians. So your fovTop value should be: fovTop=0.38; To figure out how many degrees your fov value is, use this fov calculator: http://www.rjdown.co.uk/projects/bfbc2/fovcalculator.php If you use Bezel correction, remember to put in correct resolution numbers. To convert degrees into radians, simply type 'xx degrees in radians' in google. ( xx = degrees from fov calculator) Divide fovtop by the last number(9) in your aspect ratio (48:9) and multiply with the first(48). 0.38 / 9 = 0,42 0,42 * 48 = 2.03 That is your fovleft value: fovLeft=2.03; Add those two values to your '*yournickname*ArmA2OAProfile' text file in the 'arma 2 other profiles' folder in my documents. When you enter the advanced video options in game, your aspect ratio should read 'custom'. Do not change that to any of the default values. If you add bezel correction or want wider/narrower fov, you need to recalculate your fov values.

Read the description in this you tube video and fovtop/left is explained. And yes, bezel compensation works fine.

That news station airing an arma clip as a real segment last year, is gonna have a field day with your video kyletiernan :)

"If a man is wounded the medic ought to move to heal that man without being ordered to do so.. " That's not a very good idea if your under fire. Say you have got the rest of your team in cover behind a building, wall, threes etc. when engaged, leaving one man wounded out in the open. Then you don't want the medic to run 50 yards on a suicide run to help the patient without you telling him to do so. Maybe a script could be added that scans the area within 5 feet of the medic of injured soldiers. So when the guy next to him get shot he will go prone and fix him up immediately. If the patient is further away you would need to use the heal command. Which should override all other AI routines so they move directly to the wounded. Not run around in circles for 2-3 minutes like they do now. As for you first suggestion I agree. When an AI get wounded so it is unable to walk, it should scan the immediate area for solid objects and crawl for cover, ignoring all commands. If no objects is close by, say 100 yards, it should stay put until help arrives.

There are several mission pbos in the ace addon folders. (e.g ace_missions.pbo and acex_missions.pbo)

Why do you use hamachi? If you by homeserver mean that someone is hosting from the game lobby, you should be able to join using the in game server bowser. Make sure everyone runs the same game patch and beta patch or you will not be able to connect. The person hosting need to disable all mods, or the rest of you need to run the same ones as he do.

When you activate the fire computer you should see two blue circles which indicate where you can shoot. They will change as you alter the firing range (short, medium, far) The area between you and the first circle indicates that the area is too close to get a proper elevation on the gun. The area between the two circles are the effective range of the gun.

A compass you can actually read. A user made modification shouldn't be necessary to have a decent compass ingame. Also an option to display a realistic map without the textures would be nice. If a 3D map are implemented like mentioned earlier in this thread, make an option to turn it off and use a normal map. Maybe even a server setting to force 3D map off.

I hope BIS clean up the entire campaign before Steam release. I think it will get a very bad reputation in it's current state. Especially the briefings and mission tasks. This one got very boring after a couple of trips back to rescue point. And driving around for ever to find the last one was extremly tedious. Had the same problem as OMAC. Boat was full and when I came back I could hear him scream but could not find him anywhere. Maybe change it to find 3 random people then make a rescue at the hospital a task. 14 was to much with nothing else going on in the mission. Guiding the rescue helicopter, you see fly past in the begining, in to pick up someone injured could also be a task to get some variation.

It's supposed to be in my documents folder: Libraries/Documents/Arma 2 other profile/yourprofilename/user save

No word of a release date. No twitter updates. No news on the facebook page. No word in any game media of the release. No email from Sprocket that my pre-purchase was available for download. Is it supposed to be a top secret DLC that only those who read the forum should now about? :confused:

I have downloaded it from sprocket and installed without problems, but it dosen't show up ingame as the other DLCs does? Do I have to add any parameters manually to the startup line? Running OA patched to 1.62 with latest beta.

Here is a short clip showing LOD switching while I decrease and increase FOV. Maybe there could be an video option to turn LOD switching off when changing FOV, only make it change when your character is physically moving. YhWhWGY_qH4

After the update I also get stuck on the : Requesting Character data from server Another problem I have since I started playing is the only servers I can connect to is Us 1/2, EU 1/2,and FR1/2 US 3/4 and all the NY severs I get a message about invalid CBA keys, though everything is green in Six updater. Do the servers use different versions?

Players walking around with flares, flaslights or chemlights are easy targets for the grifers, when they just camp around in the dark near the big towns. We where a group of 10 people walking in to Cherna, many carring flares and chems. We got killed by one guy far out in the dark with some kind of auto weapon, that take some of the fun out of it. A couple of suggestions: -remove all scoped weapons from the mod, then atleast they have to be somewhat close to kill you. -Place more burning barrels, tires and campfires along the roads, shore line and in the big cities, then it want be so simple to spot players when they don't have to move around with flares all the time. (maybe not viable for framrate reasons?)

Download all dayz files from here http://www.mediafire.com/dayz Make a new folder in your steam OA installasjon folder named @dayz. Inside @dayz folder make a folder named: addons . unpack all dayz files from mediafire link and copy them into @dayz>addons folder. Start with Sixupdater and play. (make a new preset with the DayZ server of your choice) NB! You have to manually update Dayz files. So check above link, everytime before you play or when the server tells you, for updated files.
