Would very much appreciate it if someone could walk me through installing this: TakeOnH.exe-mod=I:\path\to\Arma2;I:\path\to\TKOH;Rearmed. I understand this should allow TOH/Arma2 to initiate the TKOH Rearmed DLC. Thanks much, SilverSpur

Thanks for the help Sven, however the only thing I had to do was download the missing link that made everything work like magic! I had Arma2 and TOH and the Downtown patch 1.06 installed,no cigar! Since I had tried to download Arma2 OA that I had deleted back when things had gone wonky, I wasn't able to download it until now without missing files. What I got when I downloaded it again was Arma 2 Combined and after installing the updates, the whole package worked flawlessly.... Apparently the several updates for the Arma2 Combined addressed ALL the problems I was having. It's a real good thing since I had no idea what a lot of helpful people were suggesting I do. SilverSpur (SilverSpur "three five" was my call sign in Vietnam where I flew the "Snake", the AH-1G Cobra)

After several hours of flying TKOH Rearmed in Chernarus (at different times), it just stopped at next startup. Tried re-installing Rearmed DLC, no success. Any suggestions from our experts? If eliminating -mod= is a suggestion, please advise on how to access file to make this change. Thanks, SilverSpur

Deleted TKOH Rearmed DLC from TOH, loads with NO ERROR MESSAGES, both TOH and Arma2 run fine. I have to conclude there is something corrupted in the TKOH Rearmed DLC..... If someone has this DLC working without problems, I would appreciate it if they would let me know which download site (sprocket) they got it from.

That's what got me the last ErrorMessage in rpt. "Administrator" didn't open TKOH. I'm done screwing around, when I feel like re-installing everything, and it's still giving me this grief, I'll be moving on to another sim.....

Thanks for all the help, no success, maybe you can tell what I'm &*^** up with this sim..... ===================================================================== == I:\Program Files\Take On

Not Steam version, using windows XP and not sure how to us as "Administrator" in the way you describe. Computer skills are limited but I know there are wonky things going on with TKOH Rearmed DLC.... Screwed around with this thing for too many hours already, time to step away....

From the TKOH desktop shortcut .exe. Then select TKOH Rearmed from the "Expansion" menu. All selections are there but when starting Free Flight,Seattle and South Asia are all that's listed now in area selection. I've entered sim this way several times showing Chernerus and the other options but not any longer. The Arma2 is working fine when launched from the Arma2 desktop shortcut .exe without any problems. I had deleted and re-installed TKOH and purchased Arma2 fully updated and they both ran fine separately before loading the TKOH Rearmed DLC part to the patched TKOH 1.06. This appears where the problem starts with the missing files and now this problem. As you've seen in my prior posts, the missing files sure sound like there from the "Mod" section. I don't know how to access this section of the sim to delete the -mod= that others say could be the problem. Thanks, SilverSpur

Installed patch 1.06, no problems. Shows 1.06 loaded and has TKOH: Rearmed in the Expansions list. Getting error messages: Addon 'CAAIR_BAF' requires Addon 'CAcharacters_E'. Then the next one appears when trying to open either TKOH Rearmed or Arma OA: No entry 'Config.bin/CFGvehicles/SUV_Base_EP1.scope'. Running WinXP SP3. Simulation has been running fine, no glitches till now. Need some expertise, Thanks much, SilverSpur

During install! and did download all from Sprocket. I just got tired of dinking around and re-ordered both TKOH and Arma2 OA for a deletion and re-install. As I mentioned, TKOH loaded fine and ran great, installed patch 1.06 without Rearmed DLC (Arma2 OA could not load (missing files) after two complete download attempts from Sprocket. Wanted Chernus anyway so ordered/installed Arma2 which downloaded and installed fine. Here's the kicker, I still get both of the error messages I first got initially that trashed TKOH (see post #1). This happened after installing Rearmed DLC upon installing Arma2 . The errors now just say "continue" and I can run TKOH Rearmed fine for now. Neither the installations of Arma2 or TKOH displayed any errors when played separately, go figure. I'm not computer literate enough to figure this one out.... Thanks for all your help SilverSpur

Downloaded both TKOH and Arma2 OA for re-installation. TKOH downloaded and installed fine, already at 1.05. Updated to 1.06 but did not install Rearmed DLC. Runs fine now (so corrupted before re-install it wouldn't even open). Arma2 OA would not complete an install after download, missing files. Tried twice without success. Would you know how to get a good usable Arma2 OA download, really would like to use the Rearmed DLC. Thanks much, SilverSpur

Thanks much for your help, however, not sure what you mean by making a short cut to the takeof.exe and add -mod=dummy. I have limited skills in this area. If you could, a brief tutorial would be great. Thanks again, SilverSpur

Missing files not in original Arma OA either. I've seen these same files missing on the Arma II sight and no one has helped that individual either. The files are obviously missing or corrupted in the download. I would be great if the programmers at Bohemia Interactive to check this out.

Do not have steam version. These errors now show up in my back-up of TKOH, go figure. I'll follow up with re-installing Arma OA. Thanks, SilverSpur

Thanks for the heads up, figured it out after trying analog again, (didn't work initially) Everything works fine now, no ballooning before touchdown is a welcome fix...

Patch 103 has also "Porked" the collective action in the sim. ANY small movement of controller up or down moves collective all the way to either maximum. In essence, it's a "Light switch". NO amount of changes in controller panel makes any difference whatsoever. Pitch and Yaw are unaffected.

I'm in, Looking forward also to checking this sim out. (Helicopter CFI, 2,000 hrs.) SilverSpur

Congratulations Nightsta1ker! Best of Luck on securing a great CFI position, be patient, they're out there. I got my Helicopter CFI rating back in 1970, some FAA examiner named Lee Di Vinci, the old bastard put me through the wringer....got him back though, check ride was in a Cobra and he "pooped his pants" when I put the snake in the "eye opener dive" (slightly less than terminal). I believe TOH will really keep us old rotorheads "challenged" and hopefully polish our "PT". Silver Spur three five

Installed "006" per instructions, received error message that TOH had a problem. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling three times, same message. Re-installed update "767" and it updated fine...apparently not everyone is having this problem.

The latest update loaded! Happy Camper!!!!:bounce3:

Tried latest update, 8/5/2011, same error message. Support is aware of this and what I understand is that I'll have to wait for the sim to be released... Understandable since they are under pressure now to meet release date. It's just hard to believe no one else has had this error message.

July 29th, Update "244" same error message. I've sent info along to support however, have not received anything back yet. Does anyone have any Ideas or suggestions? Would appreciate any input. SilverSpur

July 28th.... has anyone else experienced this problem? Would like to solve it if possible. Curious about how this update performs. Thanks much, SilverSpur

I'm assuming Trakr4 will be supported in TOH. I didn't notice it being utilized in any of the videos to date...

Error message occurs after simulation has loaded (blue band completes) and normally you would be ready to fly. As mentioned, I re-installed update "767" and it worked fine....
