Hi Does anybody know how to remove weapons from a support provider? I am currently using an M4 Scorcher for artillery support through a support provider (physical not virtual) and wanted to limit the support request to just Laser guided rounds. I do not want the other options (smoke screen, Mine cluster, guided etc...) to be available to the player. Could someone please tell me how i do this? and also how to add more rounds of Laser guided munition for it? Thanks

Thankyou Could you tell me, is it possible to remote the helmet altogether? I just want to use my own loadout including my own helmet?

This isnt a "negative rant", but a little constructive feedback and I have been a fan of the series ever since OFP.......BUT does anybody else find the campaign a bit of a letdown? The 'Survive' chapter was ok, it was kinda new and I enjoyed the new concept of meeting up at the base, having a look around then going off to start the briefing and then going off to execute the mission. I completed that and waited a couple of months for the next chapter 'Adapt', HOWEVER this is the same damn thing and every mission is practically identical. So far i am about 50% through Adapt (going on the premise that its the same length as 'Survive') and all I seem to be doing is going off to steal stuff from the enemy and then end up having to run away in retreat at the end. I am also really disapointed to find that you are unable to play the campaign in co-op mode with a buddy over the net. We all know how easy it is to make these missions co-op, I mean, we make them ourselves in the editor. You just add another unit and make him playable, was that too much to ask??? Come on Bohemia!! You've got to be one of the most disorganised studios ever. How long have you had on this game and you cant even put together a decent set of campaign missions? Its not like the engine and editor has changed all that much from the last 3 games. I just want some interesting scenarios!!! That said, I love the game, (largely because of the mission editor which is brilliant as always) and I will always continue to support and purchase future Arma games. Perhaps Bohemia are short on funds and have had to make cutbacks?

Soooo, BIS really screwed the pooch with the launch of this game. Its clearly not ready. As a long term user of the series I am willing to let it slide but as a company, they really arent helping themselves at all. Its almost as if the British Government project managed this release ;) I am trying to get a bombing run or a virtual bombing run to work to no avail. Its probably (another) bug but thought id ask if anyone has this working yet. Heres what I am doing: *Setting myself up as a an Independant AAF soldier with a laser designator and laser desisgnator batteries. *Adding a support requester and syncing to player *adding a support provider - CAS Virtual bombing run and syncing to the requester *Add an enemy tank Mission starts and says support available, I point my laser designator at target and turn the beam on, It lets me go through support options and request a strike using laser guided bombs, No plane turns up and no bombs drop. It doesnt work with non virtual bombing run either where i actually put the AAF plane (CAS) into the mission and sync it with the provider. The plane turns up and flys around but again, no bombs dropped. Doesnt work with unguided bombs either. Is this a known issue, has anybody else got it working? I know it works with choppers but i want to use jets for the particular mission i am looking to put together. ALSO i thought id give it a go using a UAV. I tell the UAV to destroy the target using the UAV terminal, again it just flys around and doesnt drop any bombs What the Fluck BIS?

Very helpful indeed Logan, thanks alot for that. Any idea how to make the text different colours?

Thanks but I need more elaboration than that.

Hi guys, would appreciate any help on this at all. I am having trouble getting chat to work and cant find any helpful tutorials or info anywhere. Basically I have a US squad that rendezvous with a member of the resistance as part of its objectives and I want some dialogue to appear in the group chat area for a conversation back and forth between the resistance leader and the US soldier. I want this mission to be playable CO-OP so the chat would need to appear for all members of the US soldiers team. I am not worried about sounds at this point, just text. Any advice or a template mission that i can open up in the editor and see would be most helpful, thanks.
