Thanks for clearing that up!

Sickboy, can you confirm that the start parameters I posted above are correct (in regards to CBA and ACE) if I launch Combine ops from steam (click play on ARMA 2: OA and choose combined ops from the dialog). because as BlackendZ posted the install instructions for ACE and CBA differ in regards to combined ops: from the ace wiki: CBA and ACE are always Required CBA_OA is only required for Operation Arrowhead Standalone users. Combined Ops users should NOT use it. from the cba installation on dev-heaven: If you have the "merged" ArmA II: Combined Operations (ArmA II+Arrowhead expansion), use the @CBA, @CBA_A2 and @CBA_OA mod folders. from my understanding the steam combined ops release is the "merged" version

Hey BlackendZ, I also got Combined ops from steam and installed ACE and CBA, the problems you describe are in some way not real problems but features of ACE as far as I understand it. The missing range indication, crosshair, bullets and magazines add to the realism and that is what ACE aims for. Took me quite some time to figure out how to handle the javlin with ACE as you need to have the javlin and the clu in your inventory, if you select the javlin you then need to activate/reloade it with the clu. I tested most of this in the editor as I also encounter problems in the bootcamp missions. For instance the helicopter mission is more or less done by itself as it seams that with ace the targets that need to be destroyed with rockets or guided missiles are missing. Regarding CBA, I run Combined ops now with the following start parameters as only CBA wont work for me: -mod=@cba;@cba_A2;@cba_OA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_USNavy;@ACEX_RU; If I only use cba (without cba_A2 or cba_OA) Combined ops wont start and gives me two error messages (cba_main needs cba_helper or something like that).
