I've got a HD 4870X2 (2GB) with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I'm currently using ARMA II v107 with the latest CCC drivers. My problem is I'm getting the whole screen temporarily whiting out. It's happening every 2/3 minutes of gameplay which makes the game totally unplayable. I'm manually running the fan @40% which keeps the temperature at around 70degrees so it's not a temperature related issue. Any suggestions? Cheers Ian

Well, a mate of mine has played FPS shooters for years & loves the thrill of owning newbies, although today I had a call from him to tell me that he's bought ARMA 2 :D Boy is he in for the ride of his life lol!

Stupid question I know, but when I launch ACE 2 why can't I see/access its missions when I try to host a game?

OK, if we want a MOD that is realistic & up-to-date it would undoubtedly have to be based upon today's regional conflicts... Yes, I'm talking about the Middle East! :rolleyes: So let's have missions in Helmand Province where you're tasked to destroy poppy fields, hunt down the heads of the Taliban & engage the Taliban directly in firefights. Let's have soldiers perform first aid on IED victims & Chinook pilots tasked to evacuate the wounded to nearby medicenters! If we want the ultimate realistic experience, we'll have to create a MOD that's based on realsim itself!

"propagandistic bullshit & policital issues?" You might want to look the meaning of those words up :rolleyes: I'm just stating hard indisputable facts! Please educate yourself on such matters before posting such garbage! As for you Daniel, I see you're from the UK......... Shame on you :j: I'm requesting this thread locked given that it's non-constructive & at risk of becoming a flaming war. If anyone is interested a MOD based on this thread is under construction :) PM me if you wish to contribute ;)

I've got to tell you, there's a hell of a lot of ignorant people posting on this thread. Discussing an Afghan MOD seems to put a lot of people's backs up, & their comments reflect this. If you appose the war in Afghanistan for whatever reason that's fine, but as I earlier mentioned let's leave politics & religion out of this forum. Anyone who knows the situation in Afghanistan will know British troops aren't fighting the Afghan people, but the Taliban; radicalized foreigners with extremist views from neighbouring countries; Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen etc.. who sneak into Afghanistan & kill UK troops & Afghans, hence why the militias are now fighting the Taliban a long side British troops. These were incidently militias who were originally were fighting UK soldiers. Every day these militias are risking their lives fighting the Taliban & clearing IEDs for the British troops because they know they are helping the Afghan people as well as preventing their country becoming a terrorist training ground. The overwhelming majority of Afghans want rid of the Taliban because the want to be free from oppression, that's a fact. Anyone who doesn't support what the British are doing in Afghanistan can't care much for the Afghan people. When I spoke about creating a "Realistic" MOD for Afghanistan I mean exactly that, i.e. missions where you win hearts & minds by conversing with Afghan elders, avoiding civilian casualties in densely populated combat zones/bombing raids, clearing IEDs, preventing suicide bombers reaching their intended targets, escorting/protecting humanitarian aid convoys, flying wounded Afghan soldiers/civilians to makeshift military hospitals, fighting longside militias, etc..ect..ect.. I may have to request this thread to be closed, all because of some people's ignorance & themselves being narrow minded :o It's a shame because it could have inspired modders to create something very special, very different & very "realistic".

Absolutely not! ARMA 2 only has one game engine & the Modders are equally talented whether they are working on a WWII MOD or a Afghan MOD, however, a MOD based on today's conflicts i.e.. Afghanistan, may give a gamer a more realistic atmosphere if they're accutely aware of the conditions that the troops are fighting in - more so if they're themselves are serving or ex-serving military personnel.

Errrrmmm.... We're fighting Islamist extremist who treat women like dogs, condone the molestation of children & cut people's heads off because they want democracy appose to opression... Oh, & they plant hidden bombs because they're cowards. I know my sh*t so please let's not go there bacause religion & politics isn't what this forum is about! Simulating the conditions our troops are currently fighting a war in can only be as real as it gets, or will we have to keep on fighting the Russians, Germans & Vietnamese forever because of bureauacracy :j:

I haven't actually requested anything Pain, but only raised a discussion with ideas on creating a more realistic experience with a Middle Eastern mission, although I seemed to have got linched for mentioning it, not that I'm bothered :rolleyes:

Yeah, I was viewing both of the videos, very good & there seems to be a lot of other MODS being used in addition to the maps, ragdoll etc.. which obviously adds to the realism. I'm wondering if a team might one day get together to make missions based on real Middle Eastern combat scenarios - a historical reenactment if you like where certain conditions must be met in order to succeed... A Falluja map/mission would be awsome, fast paced & intense! And have the insurgents lay IEDs for example to keep players on their toes, & the ability to be able to communicate with locals for information on insurgent positions etc..

You just hit the nail right on the head! It isn't a request but merely an idea, in the sense that I'd like to see a mission/campaign built & based upon the conflict in Afghanistan, but a very realistic one that goes well beyone the concept of merely acting out a fire fight with insurgents... As you can imagine, firefights are only a small element of conflict - meaning to accomplish a mission you could create missions where every aspect of warfare is introduced..... ---------- Post added at 00:18 ---------- Previous post was at 00:11 ----------

Whatever makes you happy

Whre I'm not trying to make a point you seem to be missing it :rolleyes:

I've already served Queen & Country in The Rifles & Royal Logistics, I even have the knees to prove it :D Is it getting hot in here or is it me lol!

Ok I get it.... I can already feel the fustration in the air :D Vietnam & WWII mods it is then lol!

So why hasn't it been done wiseguy? And I'm not talking about 'Afghan Village' either :rolleyes:

Sickboy has gone to great lengths to upload as much information as possible on how to 'install/update ACE', all the answers to your questions are there if you take the time to look for them. A good starting point is visiting his website :rolleyes: Too many people are wanting to be spoon fed the same old answers to the same old questions on this thread, sometimes without even bothing to use the search function :mad:

Can someone please explain to me what the presets are all about, i.e. what they're for! I'm new to ARMA II & modding so I'm struggling. I was miffed yesterday because I downloaded ACE II files from some website, although I ran the Six Updater & ACE II appeared to download from what must be Sickboy's server..

The bottom line is.... Is it worth upgrading from Track IR 4 to Track IR 5??? The simple answer is no, unless you've got loads of cash to blow! I'm very happy with Track IR 4, in fact I personally think it looks more modern & sleeker - sure, it may have slight performance advantages, although I'm sure they're that minimal they won't be noticed in normal gameplay.
