The touring car is still bugged, though! :( Shame as it's the coolest civvie car by far.

Understood, sir! o7

You know, you're absolutely correct. It was just that I forgot the name of the addon while writing that thing and so I chose the name BWMod Dingo because of the screen watermark thing - but I've fixed it now.. Edit: And even if BIS have permission to use said addon in the DLC, the fact that they're putting in community-made content in a DLC that's in the state that ACR was in on launch makes it feel rushed and, as I've said earlier, made simply to earn more money out of ARMA 2 fans!

The Dingo, apparently. Going deeper into this, I've decided to compare the models for the ACR Dingo and the AMT Dingo. All images will be in links: Here are the two vehicles next to eachother. At a first glance, they seem identical with the exception of the turret weaponry and the camouflage. One would ofcourse expect two models based on the same vehicle to look similar, so here are a few closer looks. This is the gunner screen as seen as a passenger in the AMT Dingo. Note the texture on the screen. And this is the gunner screen as seen as a passenger in the same seat in the ACR version of the Dingo. Note the texture on the screen. This is the dashboard in the AMT dingo, and this is the dashboard in the ACR dingo. This is rear left wheel of the AMT dingo. Take in the details. And this is the rear left wheel of the ACR dingo. Compare the details. These are the thingys on the side of the AMT dingo and these are the thingys on the side of the ACR dingo. It's not just someone modelling the same vehicle, it's clearly someone reusing the model. A hatch on the AMT Dingo (with the ACR dingo behind it) - Same hatch on the ACR Dingo. And finally, the straps on the tarp on the back of the Dingo: Here they are on the AMT version of the vehicle, and here they are on the ACR version of the vehicle. So far, the evidence points at it being the same model reused. Regardless, things like this in addition to the outstanding quality of the DLC content with it's bugs and mishaps really makes it seem like this DLC was rushed to earn money off fans instead of actually delivering a good gameplay experience, which BIS should aim at doing with their DLC. Edit: I'd like to point out that this won't stop me from buying the DLC at one point or another soon, as the new content in it looks to be awesome once the major bugs are hammered out.

Huh, that... that's really not good. Anyone from BIS mind explaining why you're releasing mod content as DLC?

VME PLA MOD for ARMA II

Same problem persists. Apparently you need to be a member in order to download. Joining chinese websites is a bit hard when there's the chinese captcha going on. -
VME PLA MOD for ARMA II

Could someone upload it elsewhere? I really want it but I can't sign up for the website it seems. -
I've got the rest on Steam so I'd prefer to have it all in one place. And I've used the Arma II Launcher and I've come to the conclusion that I don't like it, I prefer good old fashioned commandline modification.

DayZ has ruined this franchise.
AlphaCentauri replied to oo para oo's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - GENERAL
DayZ has brought in new players to the franchise, but it has in no way ruined it. If you don't want to teach beginners how to play the game, you're probably better off locking the server. -
The X/M8 was cancelled aswell. But it's in ARMA 2.

[CO] co12 - Coastal Raid
AlphaCentauri replied to TangoCharlie's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS
Sniping the helicopter pilot lead to us four people starting sniping it more on other missions... can say, we bugged many missions out by doing so. lol And I dunno if this is true on the latest version, but in the abit older one, the entire sniper team died when the little bird was there to pick us up due to enemy snipers, and we respawned at the drop-off zone. This lead to a hilarious moment when the Little Bird bugged out and landed near the coast. (Also, FYI, we like the mission enough to replay it over.. and.. over... again....) -
[CO] co12 - Coastal Raid
AlphaCentauri replied to TangoCharlie's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS
So I played this mission with three friends the other night. Everything worked fine and perfectly up until the point where the chopper was supposed to land. It didn't land. We passed the mission anyway. Sniped the pilot, took the chopper which amazingly didn't get damaged in the crash and flew to where I remembered the mission had ended last time I played it.
