    When I am shot in this game, I am unable to get up and run off. However, I could shoot an enemy (AI) in his legs and he still gets up and runs off.

    Another odd thing.

    Why does it take more then one shot to kill someone with the M24, and what looks to be the famous 50 cal sniper rifle? I can hit an AI target in the chest about 300 yards away, then the AI runs off a few feet from where I hit him, he then goes prone and crawls around like nothing hit him.

    I don't know much about weapons, but I know enough that one hit from the M24 and 50 cal sniper rifle will own you. Heck, can't the 50 cal shoot through a steel plate about 1 mile away?

    I'm not sure if these are bugs, but it's not very realistic watching an AI get shot in his leg run off like nothing happened, or an AI getting shot with a high powered sniper rifle acting like nothing happened. What are your thoughts about this?

    I'll try to make this as clear as I can.

    I did read the guide on how to combine Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead so I can have Arma 2: Combined Operations. From what I understand in the guide, in order to run in Arma 2: Combined Operations, I need to load the game from this CMD file _runA2CO_nonSteamOA. So I figured in order to make the addons work, I need to add the -mod command and my addons I want to work at the end of the target inside the shortcut of the CMD file _runA2CO_nonSteamOA.

    When I load the CMD file, the game will load up there will be an odd clouds in the background, but it shows no custom mods. However, I am able to get mods to show up if I don't launch the game from the CMD file.

    I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I thought it was the right one since this issue has something to do with addons.

    When I attempt to install the 1.08 update to Arma 2, it tells me that I don't have Arma 2 installed on my computer. However, I am able to load Arma 2 and play it with no errors at all. How do I fix this issue?

    I bought Arma 2: OA first from Direct 2 Drive, then I saw a sale on Sprocketidea and purchased Arma 2 from that website. I downloaded the 1.00 to 1.08 patch from the Arma main website.. Just some added information for those who can help me.

    When I load Arma 2, I see the version is 1.05.. I could really use the help because I think I need to patch Arma 2 in order to combine Arma 2 and Arma 2: OA.

    ---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

    After I spent about 30 minutes to an hour, I found a fix.

    I learned that Sprocketidea does not create a registry file when you install the game. So here is what you need to do.

    - Go to "start" and then select "run"

    - Enter "Regedit"

    - Browse the options until you find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and double click on it, then look for "SOFTWARE", then look for the "Bohemia Interactive Studio" file and double click on it. Finally, click on the Arma 2 folder.

    - Check to see if you have "MAIN" in your registry. If you don't have "MAIN" in there, you will need to create it.

    - Look at the top of the window where is says "Edit" and click on it. You will then want to look for "NEW" and it should pop open another window. You then want to click on "String Value".

    - Once you have click on "String Value", you will see that you can make a string. Type in "MAIN" as the file name and then just click on the white area to save it.

    - Now you will want to right click "MAIN" and click on "MODIFY". Under value, enter the location where you installed Arma 2. For an example:

    C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2

    Or

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2

    The first one is for 32bit and the second one would be for 64bit... Hopefully this helps the people who are having this issue.

    I don't think adding text that lets you know what killed you would hurt the realism of this game.

    This is a video game, and when you drop dead with no indication that you were under fire, one would think that it is a bug.

    I'm in a aircraft about 1000m in the air, I am assuming the ALT is based off m. Next thing I know, the score box pops up and says that I have died. It would be nice if a message came up telling me what killed me instead of a "You were killed" It would help me figure out how I died so next time I can pay better attention to my radar if it was some aircraft that took me down.

    probly to do with the fact that keyboard is digital (either on or off) and a joystick/controller is analog (any value between 1 and 0). The 'turn left/right' command is just a combination of roll and yaw, it only yaws when the aircraft is at low speed, and it only rolls when at high speed. Because of the analog inputs the game is probably only using roll and not yaw.

    You should be ignoring the turn left/right command and instead mapping directly to bank/roll and yaw

    Thanks, that makes more sense now. =D

    I'm looking for a "Yaw" control option, but I don't see one anywhere..

    your controls sound funky to me.

    I set left stick (360 controller but same thing) to pitch up/down and roll left/right

    Right stick to freelook

    left shoulder button to yaw left

    right shoulder button to yaw right

    The last 2 are what you want, forgot exactly what its called in the options but its not the 'turn left/right' option

    It just does not make sense to me that when I fly with the keyboard that I use the arrow keys and the left and right arrow key is set to the "Turn left" and "Turn Right" options and I have no problems flying the plane.

    I'm not sure if I understand. This is how I would like to set it up.

    Right Analog Stick: Controls the nose whether I want to go up or down.

    Left Analog Stick: Controls whether I want to turn the plane left or right.

    But when I map "Turn Left" and "Turn Right" to my analog stick, it hardly turns at all, but if I map it to my keyboard, it turns just fine. I was able to get it in the air, and the nose up and down control worked just fine, but the turn controls don't turn fast enough in the air like it does when I use a keyboard.

    I have been using the A-10 with my keyboard and have done just fine. I tried to set the controls so I can use the PS3 controller like I do with the helicopters. I tried to set the A-10 to my PS3 controller, but when I try to turn the aircraft while it is on the ground, it hardly turns. How do I make it turn as sharp as it does with the keyboard? Because it does not turn correctly or sharp enough with the PS3 controller setup, my wing gets caught on things lol!

    Maybe someone has a picture that maps out their controls for the A-10 with a controller?

    When I use the Arma 2: OA in game voice chat (default key is CAPS LOCK), people say they can hear static, but not my voice.

    However, on other video games with in game voice chat, people hear me just fine. Also, people hear me just fine on Vent and other similar programs.

    I just want to know how I can fix it so people can hear me through the Arma 2: OA in game voice chat

    I was in a clan server earlier tonight and they allowed me to fly the A-10. Needless to say, I have a blast and blew some stuff up with all my weapons including the GBU-12. =D Very fun stuff.. I think that is going to be my thing, do nothing but practice and become a A-10 master and wreck havoc on the enemy. =D

    One more question, someone said there was an AC130 in the game? I have yet to run in them, but are they fun to fly and are they the ones that are in MW2 that shoot out bombs from way above in the air?
