Is it just me? Or can you not see out of a helicopter and maybe jets at night. Using night vision all i can see is my controls as pilot. I'm constantly crashing into trees. Has anybody found a way to fix this? Other than going 3rd person view? And UH-1 is gone now after patch 1.05

Topic is pretty self explanitory. I'm wanting to get something like a navy seal underwater demolition team type of thing. I know they can strap weapons on so they don't lose them. Kind of like the commercial where some seals come walking out of the water on a beach with weapons in hand. It would be stealthier than using a boat. Just mission specific. Right now if a soldier steps in a puddle he loses his rifle. I'm just not sure if it's a script thing or what? thanks. OH, P.S. ****** also since they would be using flippers in water (pretend invisible ones in game) is there a way i could temporarily get them to swim faster until they get on land?

You should look under the other section here under official missions. But instead of being a jerk and just say "search it" From what i remember playing it, badlands you can't add to the other squads, just yours. But in the next one, Dogs of War, you can. You can try it in badlands but dont think it works. You buy them, they are added to your squad. Then, if i remember right, select the units you want to give to someone else, then under action menu? click communication, then i believe it's transfer units, then pick the name of the squad you want to give it to. The numbers next to the name is the squad minus 1. So number 1 is squad2. I would try to keep the units you give similar. It sucks giving a squad tanks when the leader wants to walk everywhere. Play with command menu to try using get in or load and unload options. they still ignore them alot.

I just downloaded the option 2 again from the link you recently posted. Now i get 2 errors. Still corrupt file: saying "CRC failed in option 2; file corrupt" and now a new error saying "unexpected end of archive" I don't want to start the ACE one and miss mission 3.

I drew the shortest straw and i get to look at me staring at myself with a blank look on my face while it looks like the russian guy should be talking to me but nothing happens. If thats the end, this was a horrible campaign. 10 minutes of flying an antitank helicopter that is loaded with anti air missles. It has rocket pods but you can't use them? why no tank destroying madness? Disappointment.:confused:The plot was cool but there was nothing different than harvest red. i hope arrowhead is good. i'm tired of being an american using russian equipment. What's the point of all the cool american stuff if we don't use them in campaigns? Again the plot was really good, could have done alot with it.

You might try reverting to the begining of the mission you are on. I've seen that work before and that way you won't have to start at the very begining. But not sure. If you read the read me file it says previous saves won't likely work

i get same error. option 3 the pbo is corrupt

My joystick works unlike other trouble shooting i searched. My joystick controlls keep disappearing off of the control options. I believe it stays there until i unplug it, then run game. I use a lap top so i can't always leave it in. i save the controls. why does it delete them afterwards? Is there something i am doing wrong or something i don't notice? thanks

I'll try again, Why can't i eject after team switching to another vehicle? The option is only there in my original vehicle once i team switch i can no longer eject. Is there any game manual? i found out by accident that jets had after burners by pushing capslock. Any other hidden controls that aren't in the control option tab? And any countermeasures or flares for aircraft? And any chance on getting Army crewmen in the tanks? love the strykers

Man i can't wait for these to come out. They are definitely a couple of my all time favorite choppers. I played AIX for Bf2 and they made a really good 53. I saw some others on the armaholic page but they looked wrong. really wrong. Maybe it was an older model or something. But hey if you need anyone to test them i would be more than happy to

I got ACE working now but there are a few things i can't do. I CAN'T EJECT!. I loaded a map full of aircraft. i can eject out of the jet i start in, but if i team switch to another aircraft i no longer have the option to eject. I saw on page 86 that there are different keys. I finally figured out how to go as fast as everyone else. I never knew there was a key for after burners. Is there any kind of manual or something that tells us how to use some of the things? i.e. i used a heavy AT team. 2 man. one guy carries equipment and other has the ammo. But there was no way for me to tell the guy with the ammo to load it. I had to team switch to get him to do it. great job though. thanks ***oh forgot to ask. I LLLLOOOVVVEE the Strykers but why no US ARMY Tanks. There are a few us army units out there that people have made. I think the special ops/ black ops actually has us guys in the humvees but why does no one have army crew in the tanks? it's kind of tacky to have the US Army go up against someone in a game having USMC tanks. Any reason? or has anyone done it yet? thanks

i've tried some searches but maybe i didn't get the right wording. I'm head of a tank platoon and a bunch of enemy vehicles come in front of us. All the tanks open up machine gun fire. None use the cannon. And the only time my tank fires the cannon is when i switch his ammo and tell him to "fire". Or i want my infantry squad to use a smaw on a bunker instead of machine guns. Is there anyway this can be possible? I loaded up with about 20 tanks and mlrs i wanted to see if the steerable carrier can be destroyed but they all fired machine guns at it. ridiculous Thanks

Perfect. It works now. thanks.

Has anyone figured out how to get this working right? I keep getting it saying i have new or deleted mods and restarts. then restarts, then restarts................................... infinity. i can't manually add mods either. What do i do?

I have done that but thats not what i want. I waant it to only be controlled by UN. I want the UN guy to fire it. I can't take out the marine who is already in it. And i am using the real time editor and it doesn't seem to have the exact same things.

For this particular question i am using the UN army and a USMC m119. I place an empty cannon and I want to put the UN guys in it. I've tried adding waypoints-get in and load. neither do anything. I have tried putting the UN units specialty "in cargo" but again nothing. edit- I got them to get in nearest- I want to know how to get them in the vehicle in the editor thanks

thanks for the quick reply. I'll try it.

Not sure which section would be best to put this so i figured general would be a good start. Is there any addons or scripts or anything that would: a) allow people to shift in formation? meaning I am squad leader and i am travelling with my # 7,8,9 but when using formations, they are way out as if I still have everyone else. -so say my teamates die, the rest shuffle down to the deads position b) And is there anyway to add new formations? I played a game called JTF before and wherever i set my troops,i could tell them to stay in formation and they would stay where i put them Thanks

ok, cool. I got it working. I didn't know i had to open from the 2d editor first. I'm surprised i haven't heard of it before now. Should help alot thanks

I'm not talking about the 2d editor in the ctrlE 3d editor. I want to design a mission with the 2d editor then move around and fine tune using the 3d editor. Is this possible? I like the quickness of the 2d editor but the detail in the 3d. The closest i can come is to start in the 3d editor then save and exit. Go to the 2d editor and i can open the 3d map, but it is read only and i can't make changes. If i uncheck the read only box, it just changes back. And anything i make in the 2d can't be seen in the 3d. Thanks, i searched but found nothing specific

I have tried using that but i keep getting an error saying "error compiling pixel shader PSSSSMSpecularAlpha:1 But how does everyone else use the BI ones together? Is it possible?

I know how to make the @mod thing, but what about the rest of the folders? For example, I just downloaded Community Base Addons. There is: @CBA folder docs folder keys folder source folder It is my understanding that i put the @CBA folder in my Bohemia Interactive folder and use the @CBA to the shortcut. But where do the other three folders go? right now they are sitting in my downloaded folder. I have a bunch of other stuff i downloaded that have these folders. I know there is something about server keys that i don't understand yet so i want to make sure everything is where it goes. thanks

I was on the Arma2 website and saw a video that said HUGE battle over 1500 AI. So my question is are there any user missions like that? Does anyone have a huge battle mission that is mostly all carnage like that? I'm not looking for Dogs of War. That was big but not too many units. And it was too far spread out. Maybe something with 3 cities with a couple miles worth. With full units. not just an empty bmp here and there. Thanks

I had some trouble with the game freezing when i tried starting it. This sounds stupid, but triple check that you have put everything where it goes. I downloaded everything and it i was going crazy trying to find out why i couldn't play it. Turns out i forgot to put one simple thing in the right place. Make sure you put the carrier where it goes, I think that was my problem. As for the sniping mission, I think it should have come with a spotter with you. THat would be realistic. Rambo can still work though. NJAYAJAY this entire mission takes realistic sniper techniques. You need to crawl for most of the mission moving very slowly. When you are left with the city, start from the top and work your way down the city, slowy moving from house to house criss crossing the streets. If you have a gun with silencer use it. There is a spot where they send 3 or 4 guys after you. watch for them, then run away. try to put some distance between you, then they don't know where you are and start wandering around trying to find you. They will walk out into the open where you can pick them off, when they start shooting back move to another house. After that move SLOWLY. you will be able to do it. hell i was shot by those 4 guys and i had to crawl the rest of the mission. So even wounded and crawling i took them all on. I have asked 3 times now, has anyone an answer to my previous question? The HALO mission, my 4 teamates land in the water loosing all equipment before they spawn next to me when i land. i see 3 empty chutes leave the plane then my guys are in the water

What i did was use the sniper to clear the first couple guys and the truck with machine gun on it. I used him cause he has a silencer on his pistol. That way not everyone would know where i was. The gun i gave him was pretty loud. Now for the church... Now, has anyone had problems with eagle claw mission like i asked about in my previous post? With my team drowning, losing their weapons in the water while i skydive?
