@LawndartLeo AFAIK Those radio message errors are caused by having the arma2TS addon active ingame and the TS plugin NOT active in TS plugins folder. Suggest turn off addon arma2TS in Arma2 startup (or remove if you don't ever use it) Info As I understand if Ts runnng pre arma startup AND arma2TS plugin active (ie Ticked) in TS then it will look for plugin being active in arma when Arma starts up. Ie It goes looking for its counterpart in arma to start active link between TS and arma.. Turn off both ends TS plugin and Arma2ts plugin at arma start and no more message problems. HTH Gen

Now why is the 1st thought that enters my head about arma ladders. "here come the city life/ real life type addons?", I see Arma2 window cleaning business opportunities, heck if this is a multi level marketing I could get in on the 1st rung and make my fortune :D Career in Arma cat burgling anyone? Who will be first to make the fire tender addon? A cat up a tree rescuer dude/dudett addon. Oh no a fireman Sam sim addon lol Hmm I think I have warped sense of humour :confused: "Windows cleaned, great prices, tidy workmen, no job too high, Dodgy roofing repairs considered, weekly,monthly or contract. The Chernarus sea covers half the map, the rest is covered by us.... HeightMasters, a rung above the rest" "We clean gutters so you don't have to live in one" "Having trouble with your pussy :p, Rest easy and let us take care of it (Private or contract) Heightmasters, where for every cat rescued from a tree, we donate 1 less tree to the arma maps, Green is mean" What our customers say "After 50 years my bell started to hang more to one side, I was at my wits end, what if it fell off?" Heightmasters came in and had it erect in only 6 hours,, bless them".....Pastor Benedict, Church of Chernarus. "It took them awhile to extend the ladders in 50cm increments, but the lads from Heightmasters were the first to clean the top floor hotel windows in 20 years. Now we can open the curtains in the top floor ambassadors suite and stop telling our guests it was to protect them from snipers". Hotel Manager International Hotel Chernogorsk What the Press say "Right up there" Stary Sobor Times "A cut above" Msta womens knitting guild annual magazine "TreeMendous" Cats protection league, Berezino sponsor a mog mag HeightMasters for a top level service

Thanks for the english summary Honkitonk! +1 for turbocharged veggies :)

Oh and add grass to the why is desert a good addon to make.. er... less grass... thx for reminding me.... its all... well logical with the least problems? Gen

Now if I was having probs with framerates due to trees etc, quick fix, make an expansion with few trees -> pragmatic and kills 2 birds with 1 stone. New release OA yay, and bye bye tree problem. Oh look it's a desert type expansion... Surprised? Well er no. Plus VBS has desert type so many models already researched / modelled etc So personally I won't hold my breath for a "jungle" type island anytime before CPU speeds double. Not being negative, just seems logical? My bet snow would be next IF there is a next! Then again Modelling a Sweden or Norway has too many trees, so maybe next one will be so cold that even trees can't grow lol... er northpole or something :) Hmm doesn't really appeal too much that (and BIS know it) lol 2 move to that iceberg NW.(the white one) All make seal and ice goggle addons :) 3 what do you mean you wont go prone cos your nuts will freeze, you ain't a squirrel! Gen:D PS Anyone care to do English Translation of the German preview? ... pretty plz

Count me in for interested in English version please :) Gen

When using the editor preview, I need to hit esc and THEN activate the frame counter. Is there a way to easily have the counter running without having to hit esc once preview has first been started?. Very useful app by the way Big thanks.. Oh and to a prev poster yeh I reckon it's much more accurate than fraps. Cheers Gen

Just a quick one, it's more than likely "driver" error. First off thanks for a real useful/and well made util ! Keep getting ingame message that ace keys are out of date, even though I used the six install/update option only an hour earlier. (this is in single player editor mode with ace mod running). Any suggestions... it's probably something daft I am doing.. shrug? A quick suggestion while I am on, how about a single press button that goes off and searches arma2 folder for anything starting in "@" and automatically adds that mod to six updater (rather than adding mods by hand through six menu bar) again maybe I have missed something but don't think so? Regards Gen

Sounds great, you want to send me a poster to paste over my complete monitor, and save putting your ad in 3 threads at once... that would be spamtastic :p Gen.. oops sorry for typo's maybe I cant see monitor this poster taking over... oops no it's all those threads soz lol Common guys great idea but 3 threads? hollywood advertising blitz or what?

You make the addon and I will use it :) Arma 2 Heli is not worse than arma1 or ofp, go back and remind yourself;) Much more predictable and less "twitchy" at the very least when compared with OFP. I too have had numerous intermittent real life heli lessons, also owned for many years a glider(sailpane) (SHK vtail, glide ratio 1/36) This "milsim" has to cover driving, flying, swimming, walking, seagoing, parachuting etc etc. Limited resources to allocate to heli I assume. As prev poster said you want a heli sim, er.... buy a heli sim.. (which you have) When you make this addon please include ground effect, blade stall, working turn and slip indicator, ability to effectively side slip, attitude trim switch, squawk box and furry dice .. ok no furry dice. Some thermals, ridge lift and wave would be cool too, and to do this properly we need thinner atmosphere as height increases, don't forget lightening strikes, bird strikes, icing, fuel management. I'll need wind sheer, jet turbine wake interferance, downdraft on downwind sides of mountains, thermal turbulence over correct crops and factory chimneys (with wind strength and direction taken into consideration). Also need weather that is so bad that I can't fly mission sometimes and have to sit learning morse code for the whole mission till cloudbase lifts. Obviously we will need full working atc, and fully trained operators with working radar, air corridors etc. Please include a preflight briefing, with option for filing flight plan etc. Currently not arcade physics, somewhere in between I estimate. Currently predictable outcome to controls, smooth response, repeatable. For a non heli sim thats pretty neat? But bring on your addon I absolutely would use it as would others I am sure... See you in 6 months + (unpaid) ;) in fact I will give undertaking to be official tester for you! Regards.. I write in good humour ;) Gen (I wonder what translator will make of this lol)

Very strange goings on lol I am in editor I place mh6, with me as pilot. Then I place 1 enemy bmp with assoc troops. Change my mind and remove/delete bmp, and regroup troops to their leader. preview mission. enemy troops where I expect them, and no bmp as expected. I shoot all troops, (middle of a field). Next thing a BMP drives along a road to the north and shoots me stone dead. LOL WTF? I go back to editor and for sure no BMP is there and certainly not on a road to north where I never even placed it even before deleting. Spooky or what. Goin to sleep with 1 eye open tonight! Gen

He has "piles"? :) Gen

@actiOn Thanks for the comment. Would love to help but gunships are not my specialisation. Don't want to give you bad habits ;) Moving house tomorrow so the next week a bit hectic. What I could do is once the move settled, make a vid on some stealth, NOE flying and map interpretation in order to plan attack ingress/egress, if that's of any interest. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe someone with more expertise in the attack heli field would care to put some vids on various attack techniques together, I am interested in learning too. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards Gen

I was beaten to it by Nielsneo.....I was goin to buy first round of drinks on that Tropical island. Drinks are on me lads, but you gotta spend next 6 months showing me how to use the damn control pad thingy:) @ Avibird1....Man that made me laugh, great comment. Still chuckling as I type. Gen

Not alone on this but just pointed out to Ubi that having to be online for Sp is insulting for longterm paying customer. No idea how many games I have registered on their reg servers over the years.... a lot hmmm 20+ over the years I would guess. Every single one was registered. Same email, same name, but nope my track record is ignored, registering was just for advertising trawling I guess. Despite spending more with them than I would admit to my wife ;) I guess to them I am suddenly going to become a pirate. Unlike others who may purchase after DRM removed, after how they treat me (a longterm repeat and honest paying customer) as a would-be pirate, I will NOT be buying even if they remove DRM in future, they just utterly blew it for me and I told em so. Totally insulted. Bye bye SH5 and Settlers7, and Bye Bye Ubi permanent.:mad: When British Telecom had monopoly in UK they always say Hey we are great value, our costs are very very high. When 1st competition arrived at half the price, they matched price... instantly...miraculous. it continues to this day 30 years later. And 30 years later I will still never be British telecom customer because they ripped me off. 30 years later they STILL have adverts on vans saying come back to BT (so I am not alone and they know it). LOL if I live on desert island with only 1 phone company and it was BT I would have no Phone on principal! This is where Ubi is going too I believe. Treat customers with enough contempt and eventually they WILL have had enough. That's where I am at. Supply and demand/ freemarket I accept but it's 2 way street and excessive is unbalanced relationship= divorce No aversion to online registering, no aversion to needing Dvd in PC if mp online(like Arma2) against piracy, against costing software companies hard earned profit and maybe longterm future, but I am NOT going to be treated as guilty before proven innocent. Bad move! And dont give me that you can save online load anywhere guff, so what I have a usb stick.... phew that was hard..NOT It made me smile when a response on Ubi forum said very small % find it objectionable.... Whilst watching new people sign up to their forum for just 1 reason and one message... to state their disgust and note they 1 had cancelled pre-orders (varifiable) 2 they would not consider purchase anymore.3 they had been looking forward to specific titles and had the prev titles in the various series. Also raised was that most people register with forums only if they have a problem with app.... Hmmm I guess they haven't seen this forum then :). It's interesting because given the track record of BIS over the years it's unlikely I would have felt THIS strong a reaction to the same scenario (don't get ideas BIS :) ) if it had have been BIS pulling this "stunt". Hmmm so I ask my self why?.. interesting that... any comments on that one? Apols for long post this stuff just gets me wound up to be treated like this. Good news, so now I have the ££ for OA lol..... bring it on guys I have every confidence in ya :) Gen
