    Hi, some months ago i entered a server that had VTS running. The GM made a mission that was to recover some kind of book or note. I recall that when we reached the point, we could interact with that item, if i'm not mistaken when we placed the pointer above the object then an option appeared on the menu to "recover" the item, and just after that mission objective was complete. How can i achieve this in VTS ? I know how to place the item, but how can i make it interactive?

    We played both the other day. Ravanay was really overwhelming at first, but that feeling went down after a while, wen enemies started to diminish. The convoy was really fun, but we noticed that when you respawn at the ambulance (mobile) you appear with a simple rifle (mk16) some magazines, a clock and the map i think. No compass, no GPS and no radio. :S

    Spanish keyboard here, US key "=" is not the same for me. I press the key placed left to the backspace, mine is "¡" that's the equivalent for US "=". If the program checks the character maybe it's why is not working for me. I press it and nothing happens. I press the equivalent for "=" in my keyboard (shift + 0) and nothing.

    Would it be possible to let the user set up this keys?

    Thanks :)

    Ok, i've just got the camera this morning, a Logitech Webcam C600 (1280x720@30fps), installed it and the FreeTrackNoIR software with FaceTrackingAPI, played a bit with the demo and it looked good. Oh by the way, within the HeadTrackinDemo i was able to access Logitech camera controls, and i oriented and zoomed it to my face, improving the precission of FTNIR later. :)

    I played a bit with the settings, it was running pretty good when i recorded this video: http://www.megavideo.com/?v=2WE9JQ58

    Just at the end of the video FTNIR crashed (i noticed because OA went to "normal" mode). A while after that it crashed again with some runtime library or something. Anyway it runs good and smooth, a little shaky sometimes and bouncy when turning the head, but i think i'm a bit responsible of that, because this is my first time playing with head tracking software/hardware. I'm not used to it, so i need time to be accustomed to use my head well.

    All in all it runs very well (W7 64 bits here), the only thing that i miss too (as some people asked for in this thread) was a reset button, to set it to 0 so the program takes the new coordinates. Because sometimes it goes crazy and deviates to the right or left, then i have to mess with FTNIR or reset the engine to fix it.

    I just did the first mission with "sidemission only = on" and it was the specops campament. They were right there, but after the firefight i approached the camp and thought that maybe one of them escaped. I went back to the chopper and flew in circles a few times with AI gunners ready to engage at will, but no one was in the surroundings. Mission not complete :S

    Is PS Eye PC compatible? Yes it is 60 fps at 640x480 which is pretty good, and it seems that the price is low compared to 60 fps PC cams... :mad:

    Anyway, as you may have read in the first pages of this thread, yes, the FPS are important. It seems that the equal the smoothness betwen the camera and the game fps, the better this program works.

    Almost every webcam that i have looked at work at 30 fps. Take into consideration that this type of cams are just for videoconference and the vast majority of users don't need a smoother animation, they just want image quality, and that's what they sell us, more resolution, but not more FPS. There may be some cams that i couldn't find, but i assure you, there are few. And probably expensive ones.

    Wow, first time I have had such a bad LOD switching problem in a beta. Actually I find some of the buildings only stick to very low detail LOD and never switch out. Going to have to go back to previous beta. I do hope others report this problem otherwise it will stay in the next beta.

    Yes, i've noticed that too, but not always. It just happens sometimes.

    I am having a strange problem with the game:

    It runs perfectly but after a while it just freezes and cease to respond. But when i CTRL+ALT+DEL, task manager shows that the game is still using some CPU, exactly 50%. I thought it was some issue with the latest beta versions, but it wasn't. I did try the original release of OA and it happened too. It is really random and it happens both in singleplayer and in multiplayer. I tried a lot of things, disabling pagefile, messing with game settings, etc. Nothing helped. I didn't install anything recently. The only thing i did was reinstall both games, ARMA2 and ARMA2 OA in the same folder and in a different drive. ( D:\ ) Due to this and the problem, i thought it may be related to the hard drive having bad sectors. But i checked it too and all is fine. Temperatures are fine, computer still responds when this happens, but you have to CTRL+ALT+DEL to kill the Arma2 (OA) process. Taskman shows it as "Not responding", and the game logfile .rpt file doesn't show anything in the last lines. It didn't happen before, as far as i recall, when i was playing the Steam standalone Arrowhead version of the game. Windows event viewer doesn't show nothing strange neither. I use Windows 7 64 bit. System is rock-solid.

    No problems with other games.

    Any idea?

    Yup, it's not just weird but funny as hell. What i have experience with my AI drivers is that they go Zig Zag on a straight road with no obstetrical whatsoever. When i had like 4 armored vehicles they all do it!! i will record a video on my cell and post it here once i see it happens again.

    LoL, if you want to record a video, just use Fraps. It's better i think. ;)

    I am experiencing random freezes with this beta. It happened a few times, in Domination and Warfare. It happens after an hour or so playing. I see no log or anything to post here. Game just freezes and then i have to press CTRL + ALT + DEL. Process keeps using 50% cpu (i have quad core, it uses 2 cores at 100%) but the game does not respond or recover.

    Anyone with this same issue ?

    I have no problem with normal version. Temps are ok, i have Ati 5850 and Phenom II 955BE.

    I've made a video while i was flying to know the island a bit. I didn't fly around the eastern part of the island, but anyway, the video was fun to make and it has a funny end :)

    I have to say that this island really feels "western" style or "Mad Max" type. I'm going to suggest this island to my frinends in our server.

    Here is the video: http://www.megavideo.com/?v=S9AQ9Q2A

    Note: By the way i didn't try the car of the pics, but you must know (you'll see in the video) that you need a really fast car to jump the ramps.
