I only play SP, but love trying all the mods out there. Actually, the majority would be spent installing and testing mods in the armory.

They're probably at the pub, you know the one at the end of the original OFP.

Hi tilyard2, Are you using Mando's missiles mod? If you are, I'm having the same problem. No key press will allow me to use flares...:( AI pilots seem to use them just fine tho.

Hi thijsi, what are you getting? What do you mean by crash, does the computer freeze? Restart? Can you alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del? there have been problems with Win7 and machines with 4 or more gigs of memory, but these have been fixed in version 1.18RC. also what version of arma are you running?

Hang on Garfield, no need to get angry... To your first question, you select your squad: "~" button, and press the formation button which is 8 on the menu I think, then select the appropriate formation. If your team is not in formation, then select them again and press 1 then 1 to get them in formation. Second question, you need a medic in your squad (and they need to be alive obviously). You select your injured member Fx (x being the number of the member) and press 6 for action, and find "Heal at..." You can tell them to heal at a medic or a hospital tent etc... Hope that helps.

Okay, sorry for double post, but I've tried the demo mission where you shoot at various winged vehicles with stingers. Works like a charm, but that's not the problem. I still can't seem to deploy flares/chaff when I'm the pilot. I'm going to do a clean install. Can anyone confirm that flares deploy with ver 1.18 RC? Update: Clean install worked like a charm!!! Could have been multiple issues along the way: dodgy mod management (not using separate folders) 1.18 installed over 1.14...etc. But now I'm happy!!!

It's a custom mission I made. No I haven't got the demo as this is a part of ACE. I'll download and give it a go when I get home.

Hi Mandoble, I have tried it, binding it to a variety of keys, but to no avail. Is is mean to deploy flares automatically or is it manual? Am I simply toggling it on and off by keypress? And also am I meant to be able to deploy flares even if I am not locked by a missile?

Hi there, sorry for digging up an old thread, but I'm just getting into ArmA with ACE, and I have a question about Mando's missile. I really like the flare feature of this mod, and I made a custom mission to see the flares in action for my self. Here are my observations: 1. When I set AI as the aircraft and I shoot IR missiles at them, they successfully deploy flares and most of my shots miss. 2. When I set AI as pilot and I fly as gunner, getting AI to shoot at me, my pilot deploys flares when we get the missile warning, again, as it should be. 3. However when I fly as pilot, and I press left shift (default key for flare) when I get lock warning, no flare and I go down in a ball of flames!!! I've tried all the aircraft (same aircraft that the AI could deploy flares) but no flares!!! Also, the Mandos keys, lock, shoot, flare, none seem to work regardless of what I bind to. Can anyone help me? Everything else seems working fine, ordinance, the MMA, missile warning etc.

Ok, tried disabling ECS, only running ACE, no good, tried the other way around, still no good. Tried copying the merc campaign into the main campaign folder, run in ACE, no go. Looks like ACE just doesn't like Royal flush campaign?! Runs Armed assault and rhamadi conflict perfectly though.

Hi everyone, sorry if I'm asking an already answered question, but why can't I see the Royal Flush campaign in ACE? I can see it in the "vanilla" QG, but not the ACE flavoured one. Thanks! PS, I'm concurrently running ECS as well.
