Decerto

You gotta add Prince Harry's face to the character portraits for BAF. The guy's a legend; he had to be pulled kicking and screaming out of active duty in Afghanistan.

Do you have a USB headset? If so, unplug it then try playing the game I got the same error and that was the problem. It is a known bug and they said they addressed it in the Beta patch but it is still there.

All the Ofps and all Arma 2s, missed Arma series as I didn't have a good enough comp at the time.

I have the same exact joystick and I've given up trying to use it in this game. I can fly the choppers pretty well with the mouse and keyboard after some practice. It was demoralizing that I could fly in Black Shark and IL2 and then I got into this game and planted my bird into the nearest obstacle killing everyone on board.

Or they aren't getting their Vodka rations:)

An extra command like "Move *wherever* NOW!" would be good so the AI know you want them to act in a hasty manner and not when they feel it's safe to do so. In real life commanders make orders that may get somone killed and we should be able to make the same decisions, we may lose a guy but the move to a location is so imperative to the outcome of the battle that it is worth the risk.

And Sprocket purchases are totally BIS controlled so your money goes straight to them. I don't know if you need to patch to 1.54 (you probably have already) still before you install the BAF content but it should say on the site when you buy it.

The Sprocket version has a CD key that you need to put in when you are installing the BAF DLC, after that it runs with your OA disk in the drive.

I voted for AI skills, but I would like that to reflect the pathing of AI driving vehicles as that is something that has always been a problem since Ofp and needs to be fixed as it is one of the most common complaints leveld at the game by people who play it for the first time.

The BAF one is even shorter but is much better and harder.

The engineer will repair something that is in the red to make it functional again (orange). I had a Warrior with a red tracks and gun and everything else orange and he repaired the two red things and then said repair done and wouldn't repair anything else even though the action menu still had the option for him to repair the vehicle. Talking about repair trucks... Do those repair yard things in the Construction buildings work? It would be cool to have a script that has a repair truck come out and tow a vehicle back to the repair yard where it must stay for a certain amount of time before it's nice and new again.

It would cool if you could play like Swat 3/4 and have to handcuf them and police their weapons or somone might pick a gun up and do something stupid. I guess in Takistan you'll be putting the hood over their head as well before some spook picks them up and "questions" them.

I killed Aziz, then got the scuds and took ages finding the hostages but they were still alive. I shot the guard near them from across the rooftop while on the mosque wall so maybe if he hears you climbing up the ladder he shoots them.

I use the Civilians Expansion module, synch it to me, and it works great.

When on som mounted weapons like the TOW tripod you'll have to press "numpad 0" to go to the sights and then "numpad +/-" to zoom in and out, it took me ages to figure that out, I always thought they were bugged.

Men of War armour is awesome. If you get shot in the front you can see the shell bounce off. This whole vid is pretty funny but at 5:47 there are some crazy "bank shots" using frontal armour to bounce as shell off and hit another tank:yay:

Doh somone already said about the engineer repair. I got it to work, I made him dismount then repair then mount again. Just make sure your out of combat and make all your guy go to 'safe' mode.

I thought this mission was great too. I thought I would be clever and use a deep valley to mask myself from an AA gun near the village LZ only to find a guy with a Stinger waiting for me at the end just like they would in real life!

This is exactly what I do and I think it is the best way to handle any mission where you're in a vehicle. Once in action I'll switch to gunner position and then tell the driver to move around using WASD commands. I'll tell him to move forward, shoot at a target, then tell him to reverse back into cover while reloading.

Windows are useless. I try shooting through even an open window and I just get the glass braking sound and no bullet impact outside. It takes all the fun out of CQB when taking cover in a house is useless because you can't shoot through windows.

I can't help with a lot of your stuff but this vehicle respawn script is excellent and can be tailored to your needs with a minimum of fuss: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=76445&highlight=vehicle+respawn

I have similar problems with my COOP ULB mission, the host can control the ULB fine but a client only gets the extrernal view of it and can't move camera etc. (this is on LAN). Basically the answer is that it is bugged and we have to deal with it. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=106606&highlight=ulb

I use stand off tactics and move very far away until I can see down the main road then picked off the APC and cars as they roamed around. Once you think you're down to men it's better to move around on foot as one single RPG guy can ruin your day.

My brother installed OA on his new Win 7 system in about 15 mins, it took me nearly 45 on my older XP. I put it down to having less RAM. As long as it installs and plays properly I wouldn't worry too much about it.
