Deadfast - or anyone else with an idea on a fix for this: I just installed this using Playwith six, it also updated the mod - but the mod name is a little different than your DL link on page 1 -when downloaded using PWSIX, the mod folder is called: "dfs_3rdperson_a3" When I press "launch", a message appears before the game actually launches that says: " Include file userconfig\dfs_3rdperson\cameraPosition.hpp not found " It will not laucnh the game and once I press "OK" on the message it returns to the PlayWithSIX launch window. I looked in my steam A3 directory, the mod is there and the subfolder in the mod with userconfig and also the hpp file IS there. I've tried removing and then reinstalling the mod using PWSIX, also tried manually deleting the mod outside of PWSIX and then letting PWSIX reinstall it. Same results. I suspect this may be an issue with PWSIX rather than the mod, but I pretty much only use PWSix to launch. It works fine when I download and install from the link on page 1 rather than PWSIX. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

delete post - I think I found the answer

My backpack disappears when I enter the Chinook as pilot or when I get in the MHQ as driver. Upon getting out my backpack is gone. I have searched the net and this thread but the only information I can find on the matter is this thread: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/27384 There are a couple of links in the replies there that refer to some workaround but the links don't open. Sickboy mentions there : "Put radio(s) / other equipment in cargo. When pilot gets out, take radio from cargo." and also "Or use the unofficial way to disable the system, as documented in the various tickets about it." I'm sorry but I cant figure out how to put the ruck in cargo, or to stop losing my pack when piloting the chopper. I've tried interaction kety, gear, etc. to no avail. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

This looks very interesting and looking forward to trying it - thanks for the work doing this mod. I just installed ASR AI for the first time using Sixupdater - and when that finished I had SU run process userconfigs. I have not yet laumched the game with it but looking in my userconfigs folder there are two asr_ai subfolders: asr_ai and asr_ai_1330760738 each of these in turn have the asr_ai_settings file. What is the difference in the folders and which settings file should I edit for my preferences? I do have ACE and also Beta vers 89223 installed - if either has anything to do with why the two sets of userconfigs.

In the Gear selection menu, for the launchers (i.e. Dragon, etc), when one clicks on that desired launcher I suggest that in the little description which appears down below it also names the specific missile that the launcher needs to be able to fire. This is already done when one selects the munition itself, so why not do the same for the launcher? This would be helpful especially for newer players who then quickly can ID the proper munition they will need to select rather than spend alot of immersion-robbing time scrolling through a huge list of items.

ANy Chance you can get armaholic to host the new update? I would prefer not to use Sendspace as it forces one to have to install the iLivid download manager. I'm worried that its spyware/malware....

From: http://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/fancy-cache/faq.html FancyCache FAQ Q: Does the cache still work if I close the FancyCache application? Shall I open and run FancyCache every time my computer restarts? It seems that FancyCache does not automatically start with Windows start-up. A: After you click Start Caching button, the cache is always working even you close the FancyCache application or restart your computer. It stops working only when you click Stop Caching button or uninstall FancyCache. Q: What is the difference between the Disk and Volume editions? A: The Disk Edition is to cache for individual disks, while the Volume Edition for individual volumes/partitions. Q: What shall I do when 90-day trial expires? Is there a way to buy a license now? Do you have a price list? A: FancyCache is still a beta testing version. When 90-day trial expires, you can continue using it by updating it to the latest version or downloading an extended trial license. FancyCache is not open for retail now, so the price list is also not released.

Sory this is not Arma2 related but it is SIM, PC gaming related. Anyone else following the hysteria and anger over the botched release of IL2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover? Here is some insider info on whats going on in the development house at 1C and Ubi:

I can attest to how GREAT the proper vegetation tweak mod is. It works on the Chernarus vegetation (or Utes or any other map that uses that same vegetation - I believe). I have a pretty strong system (see sig) and run with terrain and almost all other settings on max with great FPS. What I can not stand however with the chernarus vegetation (grass in particular) is the terrible and very noticeable resolution LOD switching while moving around - it is distracting, looks awful and is a real immersion killer. This mod linked above very substantially improves that - and despite the name of the mod you do not have "low" quality visuals. It maintains a very high Image Quality (IQ). In fact I see NO loss in IQ but there is a very dramatic improvement especially when walking or running - as it greatly reduceds the degree of LOD changes on the vegetation and the result is a HUGE visual and immersion improvement. FPS overall may only be marginally better, if at all with it but the visual improvement is significant. At the link above you have more info on the mod and access to two variants of the mod as download choices, Very Low and Low. With Very Low (which I've not tried as I read there is a more noticeable drop in IQ) - - First three resolution LODs removed - First two and last two mipmaps removed With LOW - First two LODs removed - First and last mipmap removed Oh, and the sample videos you can see there for comparison do not do this justice - you have to see it on your rig to appreciate how good it is. Here is the link at armaholic for only the LOW version: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7252

ACE, ACEX, JSRS, JTD, Landtex, sthud, stmovement, TrueGameplay, TrueUser The last two I just started using and they are truly awesome, but they all are really.

Excellent work WP.

Exactly. I too have three separate keys programmed, one each for stand up crouch prone With SLX mod I can NOT go from prone to standing up by pressing the standup key command. With the mod off, I can. With SLX on, if I press the prone key I go prone, and if I press that same key again, I will standup.

Solus, Thanks for this Mod, just started using it and like it alot. I did use the thread search function and could not find this so I have a question for you: With SLX running I find that while I am in the prone position I do not stand up when I press my key command for stand up. I have to first press the crouch key command and then separately press the stand up command. I am not using default key commands - if that makes a difference - but it does not happen when NOT using SLX... Is this a planned feature of the mod or a bug or might there be something wrong with my setup/controls? EDIT: I did just find that when prone if I once again hit the prone key I WILL stand up, but I won't directly stand up when I hit the my separate key command for prone. Not a biggie - just have to remember that when prone if I want to stand up to again hit the prone key.

A few pages back I had posted some info and benchmarks using GTX570s in SLI with some comparisons to my former setup with a pair of GTX260s. That info is likely to be erroneous and I will repost new results in a few days. It turns out one of the two GTX570s was faulty - I've sent it back to newegg as an RMA to be replaced with a new card. I had tested extensively with first one and then the other card installed and on the one "bad" card I was routinely starting to get BSODs and artifcats and anomalies and it was failing the evga OC scanner program stress tests. The other "good" card has performed flawlessly. So hopefully when the replacement arrives I will retest and post more benchmarks with a properly working GTX570 SLI setup.

Thanks Sickboy - that did it.

I have Arma2 and Operation Arrowhead as one merged install. I have version 7.2.145 of CBA installed. Using Six Updater vers 2.0.0 rc1, it appears to have updated ACE, ACEX, ACEXSM, ACEX RU and ACEX USNAVY. When I launch for example either the EO8 benchmark, or open the armory to try a weapom I get this message at the beginning: ACE REQUIRES CBA_MAIN [@CBA] AT VERSION (0,7,3) (OR HIGHER). YOU HAVE VERSION (0,7,2,145) But checking Devheaven the latest version of CBA IS the one I have 7.2.145... Any suggestions on what to do or am I set up right with Six Updater?

I can't seem to find it now but on a video clip somewhere of Arma2 I could swear I remember seeing a player while prone rolling over. Is this a mod or am I not seeing the right key command or combo to achieve this in the standard Arma2 controls?

SUCCESS!!!! Thanks so much. I had no keys assigned to these. Some of the other instructions from people earlier in the thread said to use the lean key(s) while prone, etc. but that did nothing. The evasive left/right keys now do the roll while I am prone. Thanks again.

Can you guys actually see the animation of rolling in 3rd person view when doing it?

I was researching SSD drives at newegg and came across mention of this program recommended by a reviewer in his review of OCZ's Vertex 2 100GB SSD drive. It is from Paragon software, costs $20 and apparently is awesome for easily migrating the O/S and if wanted selected applications (i.e. Arma2) to the SSD drive - all in a live windows environment: http://www.paragon-software.com/technologies/components/migrate-OS-to-SSD/ Excerpt from the newegg reviewer's comments on the Paragon software: Paragon has a utility called "Migrate OS to SSD" for $19 and it clones live from Windows XP, aligning and adjusting the partition size. I did NOT need to reset SATA in the bios to AHCI ... which surprised me. This drive is FAST ... click - click - click. I'm one happy camper ..... so far Paragon "Migrate OS to SSD" seems a worthwhile investment as ssds come down in price. Many people would try an ssd if they could preserve their current install. This software would do that as well as leave you with a complete backup ... your old drive. If OCZ was market smart they would include a copy of Migrate OS to SSD in special offerings. From Paragon's website (link above): Why try Migrate OS to SSD? - Migrates Windows to larger or smaller storage devices in a single operation - Supports any Windows since XP (including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2) - Automatically aligns partitions on the destination disk if necessary - Automatically detects and copies MSR for succesful migrations of Windows 7 - Allows the user to exclude data during the process in order to fit the destination disk - Processes locked (in-use) disks with MS VSS to migrate without rebooting Windows - Includes Paragon's time-proven move/resize functionality - Guarantees safety for the system and data. **************** I'm likely to pull the trigger on an SSD drive soon and will definitely get this software to make the OS migration process easier. Will post my own findings here when I do.

Well, I've tried every key command everyone has suggested and all I do is move sideways on my stomach. I go to 3rd person view and thats all I see - certainly not a roll....

Which specific video setting are you referring to change above?

Well, I got massive increases with the 570s in SLI on all my other games. In Arma2 on the BM1 and BM2 benchmarks the improvement is just not as apparent. Where I can really tell is that I've substantially increased some of the games graphics settings, in particular the draw distance up by over 25% and have not lost FPS. By the way do you set SLI mode in the nvidia control panel to nvidia recommended or AFR1 or AFR2? Anything else you might have done to NVIDIA's default profile for Arma2?
