Soldiers, I have just started trying ARMA 3 out so I though doing the "Bootcamp" (The east wind) campaign would be a good way to get into it all. However, when I'm finished with the "Blackfoot down" scenario I don't get another to play. In the UI the next available scenario is "Maxwell", which preceeds BFD. Is this a bug, something I've done or does the campaign actually end with Blackfoot down? Any hints would be appreciated

The problem was that when I started the "Maxwell" scenario I was back in the forest trying to link up with my buddies after the staff sgt stepped on a mine in the forest. I dunno, it might have been me just being confused or something. Anyway, I reverted the Blackfoot down scenario, ran it and then the story continued as expected. It was probably just me being a complete noob here. Thanks Drebin!

Pilots, I've just installed TOH but I find it hard to enjoy due to the weird workings of "mouse look". I have pretty much all the bells 'n' whistles for simming, including a TrackIR setup so there's no need for me to control the view using a mouse. I've figured out how to disable it (game options) but then I can't interact with the virtual cockpit. Pressing and holding [ALT] enables interaction again but not without also controlling the pilots head/view. Is it possible to set up the game to work as all other flight simulators? The 'norm' is that the mouse is used to control a mouse cursor for interaction only, not for viewing. Would that be possible? BTW: Sorry if this subject has been discussed before. I have search for answers on this forums but found nothing. Feel free to point me to another post that explains this. Thanks /Jonas

Hehe. Well, I'm not gonna bet any money on the "norm" but I've been flying for years and most (in fact all I've used) do support TIR and I only assumed every simmer had TIR by now. But maybe I'm more hard core than I assumed. Anyway, what you're saying is that the answer is "no"? There really is no way of disconnecting the "freelook" feature from using the mouse for interaction? That's a pity and I'm heading over to the suggestions department to suggest there should be. I also found an anomaly in that freelook was active in career mode even though I'd deactivated it. That might have been before I patched the sim however so I'll double check that. Cheers

I just made a clean install for ARMA 2 Combined Ops. but I cannot patch it. I downloaded patch 1.59 but when I try to install it I get the message you see in this posts's title: "ARMA 2 OA is not installed on your computer or installation is corrupted" I've seen suggestions that there must be a "MAIN" node in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interractive\ArmA 2 (yes, I'm running Windows 7 x64) and there wasn't. I went ahead and created the registry node but I still get the same problem. My installation is on my "gaming HDD" in this path: E:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 I'm out of ideas here. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated Thanks

This is the value in MAIN: E:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 I've double checked and it complies with the game root folder. ---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ---------- Seems the problem was: I had only installed ArmA 2 and not Operation Arrowhead. I had no idea OA was actually a later version of ArmA 2 so thought I'd upgrade and install OA after that. As I installed OA it appeared ArmA 2 was upgraded to 1.07 at the same time. Having installed OA I can patch just fine. Thanks for you help guys

In that case it doesn't work. Any other ideas, anyone?

I did start it, as far as the menu being displayed (where a carrier passes by and so on) but then I exited. Do I need to start a mission/training?

I'm playing through the ArmA 2 campaign "Red Harvest" (currently playing the "Manhattan" mission) and every time I enter a new mission where I'm supposed to be able to use the UAV terminal I get this error message: "script ca\modules_e\uav\data\scripts\uav.sqf not found". This seems to make it impossible to use the UAV. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Regards

Has no one else seen this?

Can't you use a Javelin to kill the T-72? You'll need to be stealthy of course but it could be quite fun...

Sorry about the misplacement. I'll repost in the appropriate forum. To answer your question: I have patched to 1.07 but only AFTER having seen this error. The error remains after the patch though.

Very good idea indeed! :)
