DARK-STEALTH

What made you go from ArmA1 to ArmA2? (If you played ArmA1) Also, you'll have another year to play OA. It's not like ArmA3 is coming out in 2 months.

I agree. Some people here believe that in order for BI to improve one thing, something else will have to suffer. I highly doubt that BI would neglect infantry and armor to work on aircraft. I'm sure BI is fully capable of improving all three.

Walker likes ArmA2's lack of physics. What can I say, it is funny shooting a soldier with a tank round and seeing him fly into the air as stiff as a 2x4.

What if BI weren't to improve them and just leave them in the game? Would you still have a problem with that? I mean, it's not like anyone is forcing you to take to the sky. You can stay on the ground as much as your heart desires.

"Flight sims are extremely difficult to make... it is just too much work for BI to do at once. I'd rather have them get armor and infantry right." "As for aircraft, I don't even know where to begin. There is so much to do... radar modes, weapons, flight model, ect." "Once they improve the infantry and armor until it is near perfect, they can pick up flyable aircraft again." I guess I figured you were just against aircraft in general. You said you want BI to focus on infantry and armor. I figured you just put user controlled rotor wing aircraft on the chopping block like user controlled fixed wing aircraft. After all, rotor wing aircraft would need a TON of improvements too, like the examples you gave earlier, which would take time away from infantry and armor. Suury I guews Imma jus a stoooopid puerson hu dooesnent nowes anythung abouwt inglish:butbut:

I just want to know if we finally have x-ray vision. It's plausible at that time in the future. Isn't it? As long as I can run into combat with an M4, I'll be happy.

You advocated the removal of all user controlled aircraft. Basically, that's removing aircraft. It seems your memory is worse than my English comprehension skills. Here's a couple qoutes: "I would be happy if they didn't bother with fixed wing aircraft and focused on the armor and infantry." "For AI? They are a must. Controllable? Skip them and work on the infantry." Now, to clear up some confusion, by fixed wing aircraft, do you mean only fixed wing aircraft? Or rotor wing as well? Because rotor wing aircraft would need just as much work as fixed wing aircraft. Also, if all rotor wing aircraft were to be AI controlled, will an AI Blackhawk pilot be able to land my squad where ever I want them? If I want my squad dropped on a roof or dropped in a tight area, will that AI pilot be able to do what I want him to do? I highly doubt it. Therefore, I would consider AI controlled rotor wing aircraft to be mostly useless. One last thing. You shouldn't throw around personal insults like that, especially considering that I didn't say anything that even remotely resembles a personal insult to you.

Yea, that's a great idea! Lets remove all aircraft. I really like the idea of having to ride in the back of an MRAP on the way to an AO for 45 minutes or walk an hour and a half before I see any action.

Hey guys. I need to edit a MP mission that my friend let me download. After many frustrating, failed attempts with CPBO, I was told that Pbo View could do the same thing. I was able to open up the Pbo file. However, now I don't know where to extract all these files to so I can edit the mission in the mission editor. Could someone direct me? Thanks. Oh, I have Windows 7 also.

Sweet. I figured it out. In the domination.takistan folder, I had another folder containing all the files. I got rid of that extra folder and now it works. Thanks a lot for your help.

Ok, I'll test it out. ---------- Post added at 12:02 ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 ---------- Hmm. Well, extracting the files to that location made it so domination is selectable in the mission editor. However, when I select the mission, it states: Warning! Files are read only. I went to the domination folder and unselected "read only" but it didn't change anything.

I've tried everything with CPBO and it doesn't work. That's why I am using Pbo View. I can open the Pbo with that program but I am not sure what files to use and where those files go so I can access the mission in the mission editor. ---------- Post added at 22:20 ---------- Previous post was at 22:16 ---------- This is all the files/folders that ArmA Pbo Viewer shows when I open the mission pbo. I'm wondering what I have to do with all of these in order to get the mission into the mission editor.

Please delete.

Hey guys, for the life of me, I can't figure this one out so I'm coming here for help. When I plop units such as helicopter or armor on a map, they end up in completely different spots than I intended them to be. For example, I plopped a helicopter on the runway and when I previewed the map, the helicopter was stuck in the control tower about 100m away. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

AZ, that was my problem, thanks a lot.

Hey guys, I built a new computer yesterday and was anxious to play OA (didn't play it before). I installed OA and realized that I didn't install ArmA2 first. Can I install ArmA2 after OA and have all the ArmA2 content in OA? Or do I need to install ArmA2 first and then re-install OA? Thanks.

I have not.

Hey guys. Yesterday, I built a new computer. Intel Core i7 930 Crucial Ballistic 6gb RAM nVidia GTX 470 (with latest firmware) I installed OA today (first time playing OA) and I get a weird stutter every couple of seconds or so. Fraps says that Im maintaining the fps (30-50) but I notice a stutter in the gameplay. The sounds also stutters sometimes at the same time as the screen stutters. Any ideas what might be wrong?

So you think I should go with this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148247 over this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148278 By the way, I put my motherboard into the RAM finder on newegg.com and it gave me a page with these included. I guess these are correct for my board.

Alright, I now plan on getting Crucial Ballistix 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 Triple Channel RAM. Also, I have decided that I'm going with the core i7 930 instead of the 920. Its only $20 more and has a higher stock frequency so I was like, why not?

Thanks alot Leon, you have really cleared some things up. What do you think about the dual channel ram though? Would it be worth buying triple channel ram? Thanks again.

Hey Leon86, thanks for the reply. Yesterday, I went through and picked out components for the possible custom computer. Here they are: HAF 922 Case GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R X58 Motherboard (supports SLI) Intel Core i7 920 Western Digital 500 GB HDD (enough for me, I can always upgrade later) PNY GTX 470 4 GB (2x2gb)Kingston HyperX Ram @ 1333 (Its dual channel though, it triple channel really much better? Will probably add another stick later also.) I can get this with a mouse, keyboard, ASUS monitor and the software for $1688.09 before a couple mail in rebates. One more quick question. Would a 600w PSU be adequate for this setup? Or should I go with a 700w? I already have a OCZ ModXStream 600w PSU in my other rig so if I could use that, I could save $85. Thanks.

Hey guys, I will soon be getting a PC for college. I have two options but I don't know which one is better. I can get a Dell XPS 9000 Windows 7 64 bit Core i7 920 @ 2.66GHz 8 GB DDR3 Ram @ 1066MHz (I know, overkill, but thats minimum on the system) 750 GB HDD Radeon 5870 1GB I could get this for $1,619 with a monitor, soundcard, and other software included after an instant rebate. The original cost was $2,077. Or, I could build a custom PC. I would rather do that than buy a dell but money is a factor as my parents insist on paying for most of the system and a custom PC would cost me more. Now, I really only play a couple PC games with ArmA2 and soon to be OA being the most system demanding. Would the Dell system be able to run OA on mainly high settings at a decent resolution? Thanks for the help.

Hey guys. I am buying a new computer and I have a question. I am getting a core i7 920 system and am wondering if I should get a Radeon 5850 or 5870? Would there be a noticeable difference between the two in OA? Also, how does OA run compared to ArmA2? It is less demanding than ArmA2? Thanks.

Those are the recommended specifications These are the minimum requirements: Operating System: Windows XP or Windows Vista or Windows 7 Processor: Dual Core Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz / Intel Core 2.0 GHz / AMD Athlon 3200+ or faster Memory: 1 GB Hard Drive: 10 GB free HD space Video Card (graphics): NVIDIA GeForce 7800 / ATI Radeon 1800 with Shader Model 3 and 256 MB VRAM or faster Internet or LAN connection required for multiplayer
