Please excuse my ignorance but I could not find information on this stuff anywhere. (I think Im finaly posting this in the appropriate place) Im trying to use ACE in the stock single player campains. Im trying to use the controls as specified in the Keybinding from the ACE_2 Wiki. NVG brightness PGUP and PGDN and Adjust grenade throw Shift H works in a single mission but not in the campaign (campaign started with all ace mods enabled). It seems like none of the commands are available in the Campain. Is this something that must be enabled? Also when using default ACE2 commands like adjust Rifle Sights, Shift-V, the non-shift command also occurs, in this case Step Over Obstacle "V". Is this a bug or just a limitation of the interface system Someone previously sugested I should edit the ACE config file which I will try tonight.

I'm trying to control the helos and crews that I buy in the campaign. So far all I can really do is send them someplace order them to attack units and return to formation etc. However I cannot get them to land so I can board or get out. I can board when the it is first manufactured and them issue a location order and the pilot will fly there and hover over the area. I tried parachuting (once in the helo you can pick up a chute) but the helo is too close to the ground to deploy the chute. I cannot find a way to direct the pilot to a higher altitude Has anyone figured out how to do this? I want to be able to jump into an area at night, infiltrate, and then direct ground forces to targets.

I need to reinstall ARMA2 but dont want to loose my hard earned campaign progress. where are the user File that I need to backup located? thanks

thanks Luhgnut, I did nt think to look in My Documents. I guess i need to modernize my thinking ;)

A few days ago my screen started going white in the game and will go back to normal if I look at the ground for a moment. I think it has something to do with glare because it seems to occur most when I look towards the sun. Even if I am not getting much normal glare, it will just flash white as I loke int hat general direction. ---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ---------- I should have done this before my OP,. I did some testing in game and it has nothing to do with looking at the sun or looking down. that was just my intuition I guess :O It only occurs when I'm moving and stops a moment after I stop moving. I can t seem to trigger it other than by moving, otherwise its random.

So far I have captured two villages, and need to rearm and refuel some of my units prior to taking the next. The only way I can see to do that is have them follw me all the way back to the FOB (the original base I built) and direct each one to refuel the the vehicle depot that I build on the base. I can just tell them to go back there and there does not seem to be any fuel supplies in the villages even though there were occupied by military forces with vehicles. Am I missing something? Also I cant seem to build anywhere but back at the FOB. With all these supply trucks running around I should be able to pull something off.

Thanks Colt, Ill check that out

that works, thanks

sorry if this stuff has been answered but I probably was not searching for the correct terms. Ive taken Navy Sober, added a CP, factory and barracks: killer trucks = the trucks that come with the factory are delivering supplies and building cash, but they run over everything. I put all of Razor in the CP and a truck somehow ran over it and kill one of the team. I have been semi successful by rebuilding the base and putting the factory way away but that makes it kind of hard to protect. The same goes for the technicals and APCs I bought at the barracks, the drivers keep trying to drive into the barracks. Those I can command to go somewhere else but they run over shit just doing that. there is probably nothing that can be done about this. Im just bitching about this one :D Control - is there a way to shift new units from your immediate command (they end up on the menu with Razor) to the high command menu so that the can be commanded as a separate unit. Also when the lower Command unit list is overflowing (over 10 units) there is an arrow beside the list. How do I access the other units? I searched through the options in the main menu and could not find a command for it. Thanks Robert

I cannot get some of the move commands, Advance, Flank Left, Flank Right. to work. It seems like I had used them before but now since Ive pick the game back up, nothing. I created a test scenario with a few low skilled enemy and some units to move around. I created a three man team and tried to get them to advance in a direction and flank a spot and those did not work. Then I tried issuing the same commands with the cursor over a target an still nothing. now this is really funny, next I selected 2 (F2) and issued the flank right command to him individually. F2 did not move but 3 and 4 moved away from 2. then I gave 3 the command and 4 moved away from 4. its like its the disease command lol. I tried these command in the command view and the normal view. someone please tell me how to employ these commands. Thanks

that's possible, Ill check it out.

I'm playing the campaign, the Manhattan segment. One of my team members or maybe me is grunting a lot and sometimes can be heard mumbling something like "it hurts". I have tried to direct the corpsman to heal each team member and tried to have the corpsman heal me to no avail. This is getting annoying! Can I do anything to clear this up? Thanks

That did it. I think you just set a record for minimum time to resolve a posted problem :yay: thanks Robert

yea, I have to go out of town for a bit and wont have a laptop. Just wanted to read on the train...

I purchased from D2D, it took about eight hours to DL and installed fine. But the manual PDF stinks. if you print it you will burn up an ink cartridge because that background is a dark image and the text is white. Furthermore the format is two pages on one 8x11 sheet which you need a magnifying glass to read. Anywhere to download a printable manual? or has someone figured out a print the manual with no background and dark text? thanks Robert
