just wanted to see if anybody else has the problem with the UAV bootcamp tutorial. I load the tutorial, it then tells me to choose between the plane or little bird by walking toward one. Either way I choose, the next part of the boot camp starts to load and then freezes on a black screen.:confused: when I hit escape, the image from the next part of the tutorial shows but when I resume game it goes back to black screen.:( Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, sorry mods if you have to lock this. I just love these guys! (pinches cheeks of everyone that works for BI)

It's probably been said 1000 times before, but I totally love this game. I have found my new addiction. OA editor, town generator, a few friendly squads and a few opfor squads all set to follow waypoints to the center of town. Thank you BI for such a great program. Endless Fun. :bounce3:

Right? I don't really see the point of knives in a game like this (unless you are using the wire-cutter featured on US bayonets to sneak thru enemy concertina wire). I honestly cant remember EVER getting close enough to an enemy without them noticing to put a knife into their backbone.

Oh dude you totally took that literally:D, I love the 3rd person view and totally agree with the devs reasons to include it in the game. I was just being a smart@$$. I think it really makes the immersion that much better. One problem I had with OF-DR was the mandatory 1st person view. I love this game and really cant find anything to complain out loud about (even the AI isnt as bad as some people on these forums make it seem, well sometimes it is...)ok. my 2 cents. peace.:bounce3:

And sorry for the double post, but my issue is no longer happening. hope you got yours fixed man

Hi guys, I have this problem as well. Going to try "left shift & -" then type flush while on the black screen. after that im going to scale back the distance and see if that helps

OK, I have this problem too. Posted a few times but got no response besides a suggestion of reinstalling, witch I still havent done. Going to try the flush thingy.

You know what else is "unrealistic"? 3rd person view! I mean, you have to be almost dead or having an out-of-body experience to see yourself from the outside! And this game calls itself a "simulation" :rolleyes:

zing!:d

posted this in troubleshooting, but only got 1 response. just wanted to see if anybody else has the problem with the UAV bootcamp tutorial. I load the tutorial, it then tells me to choose between the plane or little bird by walking toward one. Either way I choose, the next part of the boot camp starts to load and then freezes on a black screen. when I hit escape, the image from the next part of the tutorial shows but when I resume game it goes back to black screen. Guess I'll just have to reinstall?:butbut:

Yup, If any of you are lucky enough to have driven one of these, you will know that you cannot go blasting off road at a high rate of speed, like Bad Company 2. You can go fast, but you will get dumped if you are careless. not saying they are the best handling either, been seeing alot of offroad vehicles in this game with floating front ends coming fast downhill. :confused:

nah, been having too much fun with everything else. probably try that before I turn in tonite. Welcome by the way. more new people every day on this community. awesome ---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------

Gotta agree with you man, from what I understand windage and elevation is completely different from just zeroing your ironsights. I spent time in the army as well, and hopefully the zeroing is as you say - every weapon will be a little less accurate (or way less acurate at long distances) than your own personal weapon.

Not that I dont agree with the others, but #2 is a good point. Keep companies like this one in business, vote with your wallets.

Weapon on safe, moving!

Exactly. If BI keeps on putting out something like OA every year, I'm all over that. Just let me buy the physical disc. But if BI starts charging :eek:micro-transactions:eek: for a dozen new weapons, count me out.

Man you get props for helping him out. I had to seek out youtube videos demonstrating how to give yourself artillery command in the editor. I love the freedom of the editor but damn is it intimidating.

Dude's got a point. If your house burns down you still have your steam account. :p

Oh dont worry, I'm new to the forums but I love this game. Finally getting around to checking out Armaholic and some of the user created stuff. Cant say enough good things about this community. I also want to agree with jpinard: Please DO NOT force us to use steam. As convenient as it is to use and distribute product, I like having my game discs and packaging. So gimme Premium DLC / Expansion Packs / whatever you want to call it, but give me the option to request physical media. :bounce3:

Just noticed this neat feature and have not read about it before. While your character is fully locked into ironsight or rifle scope mode, you can train your weapon on an enemy or area and then press and hold the look button (alt) and your view will shift around like normal, but when you let go of the alt button your crosshairs will jump back to the original position. I have found it helpful to line up two sniper shots, or while using a LMG. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Here's a quote from Good Morning Vietnam that this topic made me think of: Adrian as Camp Fashion Consultant: I want to tell you something. You know, this whole camouflage thing, for me, doesn't work very well. Why is that? Adrian as Camp Fashion Consultant: Because you go in the jungle, I can't see you. You know, it's like wearing stripes and plaid. For me, I want to do something different. You know, you go in the jungle, make a statement. If you're going to fight, clash. You know what I mean?

I'm very new to the current PC gaming landscape, been forking over hundreds of dollars to Microsoft to play games on XboxLive. After my X360 died, I decided to get rid of all my console stuff and just focus on PC. Because of my past experience with DLC, I would love to see BI put out some Premium Addons. I dont mind paying extra to help fund the developers on some new content for a game I like. I did feel like Codemasters ripped me off when I purchased OF: DR and their DLC, but that was just me hoping that giving them a little bit more money would spur them to make something GOOD out of that game. So, at least for me, I wouldnt mind putting a few more bucks into A2 after OA comes out. The developers really seem to give a crap about their community here, and I really appreciate it after spending a few months reading the forums at Codemasters...
