the new missions fix a few issues and we now have sig checks and ACR lite requirement built into the server/ mission, so no more guys running ACE can come in and cause mayhem.

Special thanks to Columdrum, Larsiano and Hawkster for showing me what to do...

The game is getting more and more interesting, but I have a small dilemma. I miss the grass: D grass adds a little atmosphere. I know you can change the setting but giving from 1 to 2 suddenly appears behind the bushes with absolutely nothing you can not see and the game is getting very difficult: D no and requirements are increasing a lot. Giving to 1 suddenly have empty spaces: /. 3 and 4, it looks like 2, a shame that there is an intermediate settings after between 1 and 2 Yes teeth, however, some of the grass was, but not with as it is now: D Da Aug. something to do with it?

And so at all as you play? with grass or without?

depends on situation - mainly with grass, then in really dense hills on certain maps grass goes off.

the AI are adjusted too in the servers we run to have max skill and min accuracy so you have a chance to fight prolonged firefights etc

also stick with team as they can direct fire direction and you all blaze away even without seeing the enemy...

Hey guys, Thanks for your talent and hard efforts. I appreciate your sacrifices. If you don't care that I bring things I find to your attention.....

TERRAIN TEXTURE BUG: I noticed this in 2.5 and still in 2.6, the water texture on Plei Trap Valley is missing but the water is there. The unit can swim through it but only the edges are visible.http://i62.tinypic.com/5xpqu1.jpg (217 kB) - http://i61.tinypic.com/2338dz.jpg (288 kB) - http://i58.tinypic.com/fm6o7m.jpg (448 kB) .The third image shows the location(From top right of red cross hairs and northward.

This map also has repeating map grid coordinates when zoomed in so far. Will this remain or are their plans to correct them?

Great work thus far.

As for the grass ... I understand, but still, I think that in certain moments is it too much: D can not necessarily grass (grass itself is ok) but other shrubs, which will integrate in August with grass and basically we have only two options in the settings "T" 1 or 2,3,4. Grass and bushes or bald texture.

If you are actually in Vietnam as it looked from the bushes is still greater respect for those who fought there.

In my humble opinion, it was cool to like that existed have any indirect setting. Which for example. Turns on the grass, but not necessarily as many shrubs. Then the game would be more enjoyable and at the same time she looked prettier than when they are the same tree.

Could you tell me what these files do? where they move up?

sorry maniek - that would require a complete rebuild of the BIS engine afaik. or a rebuild of all our foliage, and we don't have the original models.

the grass settings in BIS arma 2 engine are OFF, and then distance it is fully visible, from the player position, so 1 may be25m 2 is 50m and so on. it cannot change the height of the grass or the types of bushes seen. you must learn to live with it.

regarding the missions, please re-post in here as I made that thread to keep this topic clean, and mod-related.

cheers

I'm working on DAC unit configs for Unsung which I will post up once completed (unless someone has one already for 2.6?)

Not finished yet but I have the VC and NVA units done. Will work on US forces next week.

Cool, US servers :) My ping to the EU servers is actually pretty good, I never really get sync issues. I noticed on the servers that the key signatures is now enforced... I know last weekend we saw a large amount of "addon breakage" in the mission we thought was due to people joining up w/ addons not in the list. So has there been any major sync issues since that was enabled?

I moved my "simple" instructions regarding use of a batch file to page 1 of this thread. The biggest issue seems to be when you don't have a \STEAM folder in the root of your hard drive, where it is nested under another folder such as C:\program files\steam or C:\games\steam or something similar. Hopefully my batch file instructions will help some of those out there who are having install problems. The point of it all is that you must point the unsung launch parameters (the -mod switch) to all of the correct content. INCLUDING, thanks to STEAM, the "Arma 2" folder as well as the "expansion" folder. Yep. Apparently some of the join issues people are having is because the Steam setup doesn't "remember" the "Arma 2" install and so you must point it to that directly. Feedback will be appreciated if you find the .BAT file solution works for you! :)

Mod is really nice, but a thing I noticed, many of the plane's crosshairs are placed very low, way under the centerline/direction the cannonbarrels. it get really irritating since you can barely aim when you are turning and twisting and the cross hair just disappears into the instruments

All the game crosshairs are aligned with the weapons. If you're referring to the actual HUD crosshair then that is due to the 3D modeling location of the textures.

MiG 17 is what I remember from the top of my head, but I believe the MiG 21 also had it, and some more planes. I gotta test it more.

The actual game crosshair, atleast on the MiGs it seems to be placed way under the aircrafts centerline/cannonbarrels

all migs have a crosshair aimed down for CAS use, but its well within the glass of the HUD, not down below (like on the skyraider) they are all working just fine.
