Downloaded it...but can't figure out how to get munch's F-16 add on installed correctly. It keeps saying that I can't play because I don't have it installed. Where do I put the F-16 file??

Well, I've installed the new patch and have seen a definite improvement. I don't really have any glitches or bugs to speak of, but it is apparent that my main problem is that my comp is definitely struggling when I bump up the settings. I'm going to get a new GPU, (and will have to upgrade my power supply of 375w to 500). Could you guys advise which graphics cards you would recommend for my specs? I hear good things about the 4870 and 4890 by ATI... I don't know all of the correct speeds and stats for GPU's tho...could someone maybe link me to a GOOD 4890 (meaning all the numbers look good, processor, shader stuff...yada yada). Thanks again for all the help. Impressed with the Arma community...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm curious though, does anyone know a good source of information on graphics cards? My problem is that I don't know which cards will fit my computer, if I have the right 'plugs' or power source for a new card. Any way I can find out for sure if a card will fit my rig before I plunk down $200 +??

A game of this size and attention to real-life detail will not be abandoned by those who created it. It will take time for things to get ironed out. When I first ran the demo version of ARMA II, it was a slideshow. I quit playing for a couple days, but figured I might try to screw around with some settings. The game is very scalable and if you invest some time for experimenting with settings, it works pretty well. I'm sure the future patches will fix a lot of the problems many are having. Patience...

Thanks for the quick responses. I am assuming that with each patch, I will gain some in the way of FPS. However, knowing that my card is quite outdated, what type of card would you recommend? Also, is there an easy way to know which cards will be compatible with my computer? I don't know what type of power I have going to the current card now.... (thanks again for the help)

Hey everyone, I just picked up ARMA 2 after realizing that it's really the only large military sim out there. Like most people though, I wish my computer would be able to run it a bit faster and better. The optimization guides have helped out quite a bit so far, but I'm still only running smoothly on Low setting at 1024/768 resolution. I'm not good at knowing what upgrades will help me the most. So I was hoping that some of you veterans would be able to look at my specs and tell me where my money would be best spent. (Thank you in advance) Vista 64-bit Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q6700@2.66GHz 2.67GHz 4.00 GB of ram NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT (I'm at about 30FPS on low settings)

Aircraft are a bit difficult to use. I find that after a couple flights with them (both the helicopters and jets) you'll start getting used to moving them around.
