My apologies if this has been previously covered here, but I am having a little trouble with ACE. I searched for a solution, but couldnt find a strait answer although I may have overlooked something. Anyway, last week I updated ACE through the Six Updater and and noticed that it had added RU and US Navy addons. I was pretty excited and enabled the two new additions in the expansions tab and restarted the game only to recieve this on startup... "include file x\cba\addons\main\script_macros_common.hpp not found" Now the game won't start unless I delete the two new addons. I went back and deleted the two new addons as well as my @CBA folder and then reinstalled them through the Six Updater to see if the problem would be corrected, but I'm still having the same issue. Can someone help me or possibly provide a link to some help? By the way I'm running Combined Operations and as far as I know not doing anything any different from all the other times I've updated ACE. Thanks. UPDATE: Problem solved! I added the two new addons to the target line of my shortcut and everything works fine now.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but can someone please explain to me whats going on with the Hellfires? I can't get the AI gunner to lock on to a target. I've tried the designator and all the different modes and I can hit a thing. The gunner doesn't seem to fire the cannon much at all anymore either. Was ACE2 designed to be played with a human gunner to get all of this to work right? I do the majority of my playing in singleplayer since I don't have a good internet connection so I'm stuck with the AI. Thanks.

Problem fixed! Thanks so much. Guess I didn't check the FAQ's as well as I should have. Oh well...lesson learned.

I know the question of how to turn the radio chatter back on has been beat to death in this thread and I'm sorry ahead of time, but I have a problem. I've researched on this forum and went to the ACE2 FAQ's and I'm still stuck. I know to get them back on you have to add "//" in front of the #define ACE_NOVOICE string. My problem is that my computer will not let me save after I edit it with notepad. I keep getting and error message that says file name or destination invalid (or something similar). This is my first mod and I may be missing something simple, but does anyone know how to get past this? Thanks.

I had to reverse my mouse axis. Move mouse back to pull up and move it forward to dive is what I'm used to and the default was the opposite. Made for some interesting first flights. In Arma 2 though I find myself using the keyboard primarily for flight. All I use the mouse for pitching aircraft left of right and then I use the keyboard to actually turn. (My flight terminology is probably wrong, but I hope you get the idea) Also, in my experience good aircraft to start off or practice with is the harrier (not using VTOL) and huey. The harrier is hard to stall out and the huey seems to fly very smoothly.

How do you take screenshots in Arma 2? I've tried the Print Screen button, but that isn't working for me. It works for my other games , but not this one so I'm lost. Also, is there a way to freeze the screen and get rid of the player HUD so you can make it look like an actual photo? Thanks.

I wouldn't mind seeing another mini-campaign or two like EW. I really enjoyed that with 1.05. Maybe next time centered around a tank or a patrol boat or something. +1 on the mouse lag in menus. That might be my computer though.

No I don't have any mods at all.

I first started seeing it on the campaign missions where you are the commander. Dogs of War and the last one. It is warfare, but this happens when there are no enemies around.

For some reason in Arma 2 my vehicles will sometimes randomly explode. And before you ask it's not because of enemy fire. Anytime I purchase a vehicle and park it in one of my bases and leave it unattended it just blows up. It's pretty aggravating when you buy repair, refuel, and rearm trucks for your team only to watch them explode one after the other. This applys for all vehicles except for boats. I'm also having problems with random people in campaign stealing my purchased vehicles. So any time I buy something it either blows up eventually or is stolen. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there any way to stop it? Thanks.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

This maybe be a stupid question and the answer is probably right in front of me, but is there any way to get your team to get more ammo for their weapons or even switch weapons all together? While playing the campaign missions, 3 is running out of ammo all the time and he's pretty much useless afterwards. I know you can use the Team Switch function to take over there character, but on some missions I don't have that option available. Thanks.

Ok. Thanks for the reply. I'll play around with it a bit more and see if I can get it strait.

Hi guys. I just picked a a copy at Arma 2 earlier this week and I'm still trying to get all the controls down and such before starting any missions or going online. Overall I'm very impressed with the game and its detail and involvement. The graphics aren't exactly what Youtube lead me to believe, but I can take a cut in graphics with a game this enjoyable to me. Anyway...I have a quick (and probably stupid) question about how to pull up the commander's view. I'm currently on the Team Boot Camp mission and after I get 2 and 3 back to my position and it says to pull it up I get stuck. My controls are a bit finicky anyway because I have a laptop and the game is meant to be played with a full keyboard I guess. It says use NUM enter, but I don't have that key and can't find the command on the custom controls. Help me out please? Thanks.
