Hey guys - I'm fairly new to mission editing for Arma 2. I've been trying to follow online guides and tutorials to make a map, but I have been having soem issues with waypoints. The misison starts with the player on a helicopter, coming in from the North. I have a waypoint to a clearing, with "heliName FlyInHeight 3;" so that the helicopter will come in, lower towards the ground, let the player get off, then take off again. However, The helicopter will constantly either overshoot or stop 50m short and lower into the trees killing everyone on board. This seems to happen even if I don't tell it to take off after the player has gotten out. If I set up the additional waypoint for the heli to fly out after player leaves and hook it up to a trigger, the heli seems to skip the 2nd waypoint and go straight to the 3rd. Grrrrr Are their any tips/nuances I should know about how Arma 2 handles waypoints? Thanks!

Ahh, thank you very much - this helps a ton! I do have a question however - I tried to copy the setup in that mission (created grp1 and placed them in heli) but shortly after My group gets out, the rest of the crew follows suit. Is there a way to prevent this or a reason why it might be happening? Thanks!

Hello, I tried googling this problem, but the solutions I found did not fit for my situation, or the person simply killed the thread with a "I fixed it" and no description. Anywho, I have DayZ fully working on one PC. I installed everything for my dad's PC yesterday and I'm now getting this error when I try to join any servers. I've downloaded the latest beta patch, latest DayZ files. Normally I would've posted this in the DayZ forums, but it seems that everyoen wiht this problem has it with all Arma2 servers. The files it says I shouldnt have are all legitimate files that have been confirmed to be on my PC where the game works. They are all the .pbo files. Simply deleting them causes additional errors (obviously hehe). Anyone have any tips? Thanks!

Thanks guys- you are a tremendous help! However, a lot of servers seem to be running the 95168 beta patch, and I noticed that a forum post by a dev stated that the beta patch is not MP compatible with 1.60. Can I still just download the beta and have it work on Beta 95168 servers, even who I still only have 1.60? Edit: Nevermind it seems that by installing the 95168 Beta it updated my client to 1.62 :/ Hopefully nothing gets broked.

It says 1.59.blahblah Ok so I think I need to update it (I guess now I need 1.62, but I heard that I need 1.60 first - is this correct? If so, where do i get 1.60 lol. I tried googling it but the bi.studio mirrors require a login and password for me to download, and the megaupload mirrors link to a "stop SOPA" type of page) Thank you! Edit: yes, it told me I need 1.60 in order to install 1.62 :( )

As I stated in the post, ALL .pbo files in the Addon folder are being listed as not accepted. Everything form a10.pbo to wheeled3.pbo
