Oh... does that make it possible in the official missions or just addons?

2 hours 45 mins, suddenly a popup tells me that I have already destroyed the convoy but failed to go to extraction point so I got only 200 points...sigh...where's that voice over the com when you need him? also, I didn't see a time limit anywhere in the mission briefing. Wierd... 2 mines can't have destroyed a convoy of 6... wonder what happened...

Maj. OppiE's live mission log: planted 3 mines at 200 m interval along the road... waiting at the abandoned house down the road with sachets... its been about 1 hour real time and only 2 mines have been triggered... no sign of the convoy yet... sigh... still waiting... the rain came and went so many times I lost count with the distant sound of thunder and the bugs buzzing around me. soaked and tired... I know the blast sites are now swarming with enemy infantry trying to hunt me down so I can't even go see whats going on... has the convoy decided to call it off? has the convoy taken an alternative route?...I really don't know...the fog of war... I can only be patient... cant' help but notice that the convoy leader changes everytime I redo this mission. ---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ---------- 1 hour 30 mins... (this is also the longest time I have ever survived in an ARMA mission) this 600m road is proving to be the longest 600m this convoy has ever embarked on. 2 mines... this means that 400m has been covered so far... I am waiting that final mine to be triggered, taking that last infantry truck with it before I send the rest of the convoy to heaven with my sachet trap that covers an area of over 200m. its now 1950 in the game... day has turned to twilight and night will soon be here. Its still raining non-stop but the night should give me a good cover for escape to my extraction point later. putting my NVG on now... (in case you are wondering, I have 2 laptops on at the same time) ---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ---------- 1 hour 50 mins.... 2010 ingame. It is almost completely dark now with the rain clouds covering any moonlight or star light, making it almost pitch black. Even the NVG's duller than before due to lack of ambience light. Still no sign of the convoy... seriously, if I am a convoy leader in RL, I would have called in the mine disposal team after the first mine went off... was that what they are doing now? decide to put the game on pause for a meal break.... ---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ---------- 2035 ingame, its been 2 hours and 5 mins. the rain has stopped at last and the bugs are screaming on top of their voices again. It is a clear moonless night with random rain clouds still drifting across the sky. The only thing I am not getting now is the damp smell of mud and grass. I am tempted to reccee the blast sites under cover of night but I also know that if I run into an overwhelming number of enemies, everything I did would go to waste. One quality of SF troopers is patience... like a stalking tiger I shall wait...

very good questions... I am wondering the same too..hehehe... waiting for answer... Just one more question to add... Can we take over 1st person control as one of our team mates?

^... Congrats! hahahaha, I didn't even bother to go back into those missions again..sigh...

^... yeah, I noticed today that sometimes they do get killed and sometimes not. In fact, where the truck got hit is important as well! the BI guys REALLY made this thing realistic! This means, just like real life, a lot of luck is needed no matter how carefully crafted a plan is! One spanner in the clockwork and all hell breaks loose!

oh... so you only get to play those weapons in our own custom addons

Does the unlocked weapons appear in missions as well?

Should the number be based on available GPU memory or the overall system memory? My X3100 965gm is only 251 total memory while my system has 3g ram. so, should I be using -maxmem251?

so the armoury is just for some arcade style fun?

Does those trucks actually know how to avoid mines??? I laid 3 mines and none got triggered!

NICE! :) I tried with mine and sachet combo today, mining the leading tank and then sachet the rest of the convoy that builds up behind the destroyed tank but something really strange happened...even though the trucks were destroyed, infantry still managed to get off and attack me! Don't those guys die with the trucks under such heavy explosion?? Anyway, I really suck at ARMA... I can't even complete any of the defending or attacking mini missions in the armory! hahahaha!

i have the same problem. i simply stopped trying since i didn't buy ARMA to fly aircrafts. :)

Yes, upgraded and problem persists. :(

^... Tried all of the above today and still he refuses to get in! hahahahah what a trainer! :) The cobra training went fine though... maybe he is not a qualified blackhawk instructor! hehhee

OMG! hahahahah looks like we are truly limited only by our creativity then!

Incredible! :) Actually, that makes me respect this game even more. I really enjoy such sandbox games as there really isn't just one way of doing things. I just died again 5 mins ago but I accidentally found out that I can blast a tree so it lay across the road preventing the vehicles from passing. I am going to try laying 3 sachets in front of the fallen tree and set them off all at one when the whole convoy gets stuck in front of the tree...hehehehe

My problem with the helo training is that the trainer simply refuses to get onboard! hahahaha! He will get himself stuck outside the blackhawk and never gets on in the first place so there is no why I can proceed.

Latest GPU Drivers installed. OS : Vista 32 Startup parameter : -mod=DBE1 -maxmem=512 (also tried with 384) AA: Off Anisotrophic : Highest (tried with Off and still problem persist) Texture : Low (only options are low and very low) Post processing : Very Low (tried on very high and still problem persist) Object Detail : Low Resolution: Tried with multiple resolutions and problem persists Other memory managers : Advanced Systemcare Pro with Smart Ram There are certain small view angles where the ground about 5 to 10 m around my character looks ok but when I move my mouse out of those small angles, the textures on the ground 5 to 10 m around my character turns white or grey but gameplay is ok and all textures further than 5 to 10 m is ok as well. Its just that white patch beneath my character following it like a squarish spotlight.
