Hello all.. I successfully configured oxygen 2 to work, but instead of using bulldozer, I copied the required arm2OA files over to the P:drive and run the preview window in a window. When I make an object, it loads it fine in the viewer, however I get a "cannot load textures" error when I try and load the BIS samples. These samples I loaded are fully textured but for some reason I can't get textures to display on any models. help is greatly appreciated

Hi, I've installed Vopsound 2.1.. works Great! I've went to about 12 servers, all have an error complaining that the server doesn't recognize the signed .bifile I've removed 2.1, installed 2.2 vop sound. I've followed the instructions explicitly; -created folder named VopSound2.2, sub folder addons -extracted all the sub folders into addons sub folder. -extracted the vopsound.bikey into the vopsound/addons directory. i've tried several things like copyingthe vopsound.bikey file into the keys directory from the root folder of arma2. What am I doing wrong? or is it that 90% of the servers out there running, won't allow user made mods? ***Note*** I only play warfare BE v2.066 and v2.0067 Not sure if warfare mods disallow vopsound.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could explain the role of ammunition upgrade in Warfare.. I realize it gives you ammunition option in the build menu. what do special weapons crates rearm? ordanance? basic weapons? launchers?

To BIS developers, If one of the goals of this game is to provide realism, or at least objects in this game should behave as close as possible to their real life counterparts, I implore you to take a closer look at radar and planes - especially the Su-25. I don't fly a whole lot of other planes in the game, however I did notice a radar bug/glitch where sometimes a missile slams into the plane without EVER showing up on the radar. This happens occasionally and is VERY frustrating to have an aircraft like that go down without giving the pilot any chance at all for self-defence. Another issue with the Su-25 I would recommend addressing is the armor on the plane. In real life, the thing is a flying tank! It has a titanium casing that completely surrounds the pilot, and there are MANY, MANY accounts and pictures to verify that several Su-25's have been shot 2 or 3 times with stingers or sa-7's and have still landed safely. There are even frogfoot's that have had a wing blown off, engine shredded, and fusealage torn completely up and they still landed no problem. To have one completely "vaporize" in game is completely unrealistic. I'm not saying they should be impossible to shoot down, but small arms fire or 1 stinger completely destroying the aircraft or making it unflyable? that is not realistic by a long shot. And before you dismiss my ideas, go and do some research and find out how many Su-25's have taken hits from AA missles and shrgged them off, or about the one who took 87 30mm rounds and still flew. The Russians built a monster that you can throw any type of fuel in it to get it running, and can beat it to a pulp and it will keep coming at you. it's the LONGEST service plane that continues to serve in dozens of countries today. IMHO, you shouldn't have put that plane in the game if you weren't going to do it justice. -Peace

what does this have to do with the thread? stay on topic please. just noticed that in game, when you go to team orders (warfare) it says the AI can build Su-39 squadron, and taking a closer look at the su25 in game looks like it is indeed a su-39 (looks like electronics got moved to the nose) also the IR jammer in the tail. So it appears the Su-25 in game is indeed Su-25T all the more reason to have in game radar upgrade to sniff out IR missles. edit: Just so you know Beagle Das Panzer is correct.. just like Das Auto "der Panzer" is incorrect.. "the" in the case of "the tank" denotes non-ownership, an inanimate object, like the chair or the car. It would be different if you were to say "the child "

I wasn't banned for anything.. You must be referring to my avatar.. it's simply that an avatar.. why would I still be posting if I was banned?

Well put... VERY well said. It's funny that when people like Myke and Star Force One make an opinion, there is no need to provide proof or sources, but when someone tries to quote technical specifications verbatim, all of a sudden list all your sources or it didn't happen - typical American approach. So many people misinformed about Russia... c'mon guys - do you think they will be sending the pentagon an e-mail every time they develop a new weapon??? i'm sure SFO will be back to shed more pearls of wisdom. (gets out nose plug)

That sounds to me like that's your opinion.. I don't think you can speak for what the former Soviet Union has in it's inventory, or what it's annual defence budget ought to be. Ever heard of the new russian super ICBM? not sure what it is called but a short blog about it is here. http://english.ruvr.ru/2010/12/16/37031739.html If you want, i'll dig up more info on it. I was watching a program recently, and they interviewed an American General who said the U.S. has absolutely no defence for this system, but plans are in the works to invest 1 TRILLION dollars over the next 10 years to counter the threat. another American rear Admiral spoke similarly of the Shkval supercavitation torpedo - in which no counter can be mounted. i'd be more than happy to dig up names and sources for you if you want, becasue it was all over T.V. ---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ---------- edit: not sure he said " over the next 10 years " but he definately said 1 trillion dollars, thats 1000 billion.. I was blown away by that number.

lol.. i'm not German.. Nor am I even European. And as far as sources.. am I suppose to call up Arms Manufacturers? What would you accept as proof for sources? The internet? And as far as me having a big mouth and not backing up anything, what have I written that Is not fact? What is contestable? Are you contesting that the Su-25 doesn't have active and passive IR jamming/deflection? Are you contesting that Russia doesn't have the money to develop cutting edge countermeasures? Are you contesting that the Su-47 isn't in production? tell me what you think I am running my big fat mouth off about.. and i'll list it again.. and try to list sources that will satisfy you. DW

you say I have horrible spelling? do you even speak english? I'm not going into this crap again. blah blah blah.. list your sources... Do you not have a local library or an internet connection? look it up for yourself.. what I have written was correct.. Do you think I made up words like "optical Jammer"? or "IR decoys?" You must be American, because If you were not, you would be asking the guy who said Russia doesn't have the budget or technology to keep up with modern ECM, like the West does.. Did you ask him to back up sources? Nope... Neither did you ask SFO to back up his claim that IR missles can't be jammed or influenced by scrambling. So I would suggest you not get involved, because you are obviously influenced by Uncle Sam.

This is a question I have about said Warfare mod, Couldn't find the answer searching threads or google.... In warfare, after you upgrade ammunition to level 2, in the build menu you get options to build ammunition crates like -weapons -ordinance -basic -special -launcher each one you place is a differnt icon, but my question is. which one reloads mortars? mgs like the kord? artillery? aa pods? also.. a related question; the ammunition trucks what do they do? I drove one down and fired every weapon I had on me, but they wouldn't rearm. Once or twic I got a message saying 'rearmin' but can't remember what I was standing next to, or what I was rearming. I know you can rearm through the repair truck, but this is slow, and if you are rearming a battery of 5 d-30's, it takes a few mins. If your ai using the Kord, runs out of ammunition, he just stands there. I thought if you drove the ammunition truck around it would rearm a lot of things. The crates don't seem to rearm anything. -thx

sorry.. I posted on the thread you suggested.. It got buried on page 376 of that thread... and about 5 questions a day get asked that never get answered. So i'm asking this question again.. here.. in general

sorry.. but How are you suppose to tell someone they are a moron.. and Don't know WTF they are talking about.. without insulting them? If someone says "A" and I disprove "A" And I say "B" then I back up "B" with references and sources.. how does that not qualify as backing up what I write?

worth a try thx

you do a whole lot of talking.. but no facts or proof come your way. I've provided backing for my claims.. i've provided excerpts from technology specs, and manuerfactuers, and you want me to lead you by the hand an list every source? YOU have a computer - YOU can do the research.. it seems to me like YOU need the convincing. Dude, You haven't provided anything, You haven't listed your credentials, You haven't backed any of your theories, Your just a geek with a big ego, and a laptop. so QFT you pencil neck nerd. You have no idea what you're talking about. You don't back up shit. Just long, and boring blah blah blah - self opinionated blogs. ---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ---------- YOU don't know what you're talking about.. you claimed that IR missles can't be influened, than you back peddle by saying they can, but people don't use it becasue they are afraid to use it... Do you have any idea how STUPID you sound?? How about post something you haven't heard on the news or read in a comic book.

@SFO I don't get your argument.. i'm not some Civiy who googles or uses wikipedia as a Source. You made a statement that IR missles are not subject to jamming.. I backed that up by explaining how optronic jammers and IR decoys work. So you made that statement, I quoted direct unclassified specifications for multi-million dollar systems designed to counter these threats - yet you claim I can't back up my statements? I wante to close this thread, because It is far straying from the topic of radar and su-25 armour in the game. People are getting into topics of real world, and that doesn't help the problem that I originally posted. Seems to me that Ryguy got my point and didn't need to go into a 3 page battle royal about it. As far as Active/Retired Military members and Opsec goes - SURPRISE! You are talking to one! I currently have 7 Years Military Service, Still serving, and Am a Member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons. I've x-trained with Americans in Fort Bliss, Texas, and New Mexico. I have Heaps and Heaps of information about weapon systems, ballistics, targeting computers, surveillance, I've even been trained on a few locheed martin targeting systems. I've also trained in AFV, escape and evade, advanced interrogation, cryptography, foreign weapon systems, LWR, CNRB, etc. etc. I've had countless briefings on air defence, electronic warfare, you name it. So maybe you should be careful about assuming I am not knowledgeable about weapons systems. You claimed I should back up what I write, but when you claim that IR missles CAN'T be influenced by jamming, did you back it up? Did you back up anything you wrote? Aircraft aren't gonna be toting around beacons.. they will use the optronic jammer and active IR decoys just like I wrote. And as far as the "poor old poor Russians" are concerned.. they can do whatever they want.. They don't care about budgets.. They have been neck and neck with the U.S since the 60's. In some areas they were behind, and in others they are way ahead.. how do you think they put a man in space first with about a 10th of the budget of the united states? How do you think they developed the worlds fastest and unavoidable underwater, rocket propelled super-topedo? The U.S tried to get their hands on it for $18M for a prototype, but instead the guy was arrested and sent to Siberia for being a spy... Putin himself came to Canada and sold us 1 for the same price... Russia doesn't WANT the states to know what they have... so don't be so confident in thinking that the Ruskies are back in 80's technology - That's what your Government feeds you as propoganda so the pencil pushers in capitol hill can sleep better at night. So this topic is officially de-railed.. but if you want to continue this trend... by all means, until it gets turfed by the mod.

Hi... Just to start a new thread on the subject, I'm curious to know what planes are vunerable to the "invisible AA missle" I'm talking about no radar flash, or no incoming "m" on the radar screen. I rarely play Blufor, so I know that the Stinger is always undetectable when fired at the Su-25. I've heard the same about the A-10 vs. maybe Strela or igla launchers. Can anyone confirm what planes are vunerable to what missile systems? I seem to be able to detect AA-pod stations and other missiles launched from choppers and planes...

so why would BIS make such an awesome game and stick planes in it if they perform so badly? Why not just leave planes out? And are you so certain that planes won't receive a major overhaul in future patches?

umm.. How have I not proven my point Wolf? I've proven That Jamming IR signals will influence an IR threat, I've proven that Su-25t (Su-39) are in mainstream production... I've proven people who say either Russian planes don't have the capabilities to counter heat seekers, I've proven that The eyeball MK1 isn't the only system that will couter these threats, I've proven that The Russians are on par with The Western World in terms of innovating new technology to combat said threats. People say Russia doesn't have the budget or resources to compete with U.S. for "New" Technology.. This is simply not True, without digressing from this thread, let me just say That the Russians have Technology that the American's wish they had - like The SKVAL super torpedo... Wolf, you are right about Russia upgrading their old Su-25's... currently they are at 60% of their inventory that received to new upgrades, with plans to upgrade the remaining 40% - just like they are doing with all their old Hinds. So tell me how I haven't proven my point? I understand this isn't a flight sim.. but If I didn't bring up what could be worked on, maybe no one else would, and It wouldn't get addressed. Not like I can submit a ticket to have a developer get right on it.. All I can do is hope these issues will get looked at in future patches. P.S. As I said before, the Su-47 Berkut went into production when It was redesignated from S-37. It's still listed as a technology demonstrator, but let me assure you that It is in full production, and has also received orders from several Countries. The information you recieved is out of date. I would love to list my sources, but I don't want to digress from this thread anymore than it already has. As far as i'm concerned this thread should be closed, as I consider any questions answered, and all opinions made.

please Beagle.. Stop.. you know not what you speak of.. i'm tired of proving you wrong with facts.. Lock on and Eagle are GAME COMPANIES.. they know nothing more than the average joe with an encyclopedia. SU-39 or SU-25T, or SU-25SM are NOT prototypes... and they MOST DEFINITELY are in the Russian AF. Planes that you THINK are still in the experimental stage like the S-37 Berkut are in fact in production.. the S-37 was re-designated the SU-47. the "U" means in production.. any plane from Sukhoi that goes into mainstream production recieves the suffix "U so the sU-25t or sU-39 is in production and they have lots and lots. I'm trying VERY hard not to flame you for being stupid.. but my number one pet peeve is Forum Lawyers that think they know something because they googled it, come on here and pass verbal diarrhea like it's verbatim. You get an E-slap upside the Head for being a moron... sorry not a flame, but I call a spade a spade. That's twice I proved you wrong... and i'm getting annoyed with your ignorance. Don't post crap and pass it out like it's gospel. 1485 posts.. wow.. I will really look hard at your future posts to filter out the baloney.

i'm sorry but the " this is an arcade " is not what the game was advertised as, and as far as this being a so called Ground simulator, I don't buy that either. I don't think it is your place to comment on what the developers intended this game to be. I'm merely pointing out what needs to get fixed. You can agree or disagree. Bottom line is You can't argue that the two points i've brought up aren't correct or valid. So put your personal theories aside in what the game "should be" and either support the theory I have put forth, answer and questions that I ask, and QFT.

the reason why their are only 20 Ka-52's is because the helicopter is a modification of it's original. The original Kamov Ka-50 was a one seater. The Russian Air Force has made the Havoc It's main attack helicopter along with the Mi-24 Hind VP. It's not true about the Su-34. They export more than 16. Don't know where you got that information. Even the 80's era Su-25's had better ECM available, and DEFINITELY more survivability. then taking 1 missle and it's all over. What are you arguing about here? this isn't about how Arma 2 isn't a flight sim, It isn't about what version of Su-25 the game uses, It'a about under armouring the plane in game, and the fact that the hand held missle systems in game are undetectable to aircraft. please re-read the original post

before you read my next copy/paste, maybe you should understand what It reads before you argue with actual specifications. The optronic jammer is DESIGNED to actively emit a jamming frequency to CONFUSE IR missles, in the event that it fails, it starbursts a signal when the missle is a dozen or more meters away from the aircraft, in an attempt to change it's course, in case THAT fails, it deploys a salvo of IR decoys, which are different than chaff or flares, in a sense that they burst in the air releasing IR radiation. And before you post your un-researched opinion, let me explain how jamming WILL influence an IR threat. This is a copy/paste which explains optronic IR jamming technically. The modulated IR flux formed by the optronic jammer makes up the jamming noise inside the missile's "track loop" and exploits its guidance system. The hit probability is decreased practically up to zero. Just so you know EVERYTHING creates a noise - even light and heat, that noise is on a band. If you can mimic the band wavelength, you can track/manipulate it's source. If I were you I wouldn't post anything unless you know it's 100% fact and not a hypothesis. DW ---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ---------- Please Sir, educate me on how the missile warning system in the Su-25 t works. I'm sure I am wrong, and that you undoubtedly know how it's ECM operates in it's entirety.

seriously, not flaming anybody here.. but before people "Think" they know something, please, please, research what you are talking about. Su-25, and A-10 doesn't use "80's technology" anymore. Read what the russians have done to upgrade ALL their Su-25 Variants. Currently 60% of Russia's ENTIRE Su-25 have been upgraded to include the more sophisticated ECW and Radar Sweet. The new Koypo Radar provides all weather, day/night attack capabilities, and just read the spec's on how the New ECW suite can detect and defend against IR, Heat, and Radar controlled missles. The electronic countermeasure (ECM)system is intended to carry out electronic reconnaissance and all-directional protection of aircraft in radar and IR band of electromagnetic waves inautomatic mode of operation without the pilot’s interference. The system comprises: - electronic reconnaissance set intended to pinpoint all existing ground, airborne and shipborne radars used for detection and fire-control, operating in 1.2-18 GHz and determine the most dangerous target, its coordinates and distance to it; - small-size electronic active jammer, generating deflecting, noise, scintillating and re-targeting to underlying surface interferences; - optronic jammer, generating an amplitude-frequency modulating interference to IR missile seekers; - dispenser of IR decoys with 192 decoy projectiles generating passive jamming in conjunction with "cold" aircraft engines intended to frustrate at a critical moment over a target the AD missile portable systems of enemy attack; - aircraft decoys to detect and deceive AD enemy systems lurking in ambushes, onboard fighter radars and missiles with all types of seekers. So any type of missile fired at the "new" ECM suite on the su-25 will at least be detected, and most often will be automatically dispersed of, without imput from the pilot.
