If your gpu has it and you don't use it turn off HD sound as it frees it up a bit, at least that's what I've read. I don't have an ATI card so I carn't check it myself.

It's an option in the game where you can view all the tanks, planes, boats, civilians etc. Basically almost everything in the game is in there. You can just look at that units details, view it as it looks ingame or take the unit for a test drive. At the start only a few of the units are available for test driving, they have to be unlocked by working your way through the campaign and missions, or when you take a unit for a test drive the game will offer you little mini missions with which you can earn points to unlock more units.
As an example I test drove a chicken last night, so there I am running around as a chicken and it offered me a mission to run to a waypoint within a set time limit, I accepted and completed it so got some unlock points. It then offereded me another missions which was to stay alive for 5 minutes while game hunters tried to chase me down. Oviously this was just a silly, fun, side thing, but you get the same thing with all units so you can be flying a helicopter and do little missions if you want.
I'm also loving the editor mode at the minute, I love just picking different area's of the world and plonking down multiple units to see what happens. Just done 20 v 20 tanks, 10 v 10 infantry, also gave my side some boats as I was near the coastline and some helicopters. Set the gametime to about 3 in the morning and set myself to spawn hidden behind a building. Then just launched the game and watch the fireworks kick off. It was great watching all the tracer fire and explosions, all hell was breaking loose. It kind of reminded me of that G-Mod thingy that was out for HL2. You have to be careful though, I edited it to put some A-10's on my side as well very close to me, I must have got the settings wrong because when I started the game they just fell from the sky and the explosion killed me

No i aint got the game
My bad, I thought I was being attacked by a grammar Nazi
But yeah, what mark_t50 said.
We need to get some multiplayer chicken hunt/escape going.
That and good old OFP tractor racing.
Who are you talking to ?
If you are referring to me, then: tweaks ? look at post #1069 where I credit the Bohemia Interactive developers for the FSAA tweaks. It appears to be where you also got them. The were posted on the developers forum and I quote and credit them pretty straightforward. You didn't. Screenshot ? Is it the one in#1247?
That could possible be yours. It was sent to me by a friend along with some others without names attached. If it is yours let me know and I will gladly put your name on it or remove it.
Edit: here is the original FSAA post by the developer. Post #175 in the link below

There seems to be a bug in the first mission, where you have to destroy some sort of communications outpost. There's this doctor and woman that you can rescue (side mission?) and escort to a cabin, but halfway there, they just stop following you ... ? Anyone else encountered this? Playing veteran difficulty.
I tried ignoring it, but later on, when your laser marking the targets for missle attack, I can't proceed.

Anyone know if gamestation or CEX are stocking this in their retail outlets?
Gamestation have it for £24.99 but i traded some games in and had to pay 99p
.It is a very good game,certainly not as easy or linear as cod games.

i dont understand...this games LOOKS incredible but the gameplay is just hideous! Run around for 20 mins without seeing an enemySomeone please explain this game to me cos i really want to love it!!
I suppose the first thing to say is this game isn't for everyone. I love it, but my brother took one look and went 'Meh, CoD is miles better'. I tried explaining about the huge gameworld, the sandbox features etc and he just didn't care. The game is obviously not for him.
Anyway, I wouldn't dream of trying to tell you how to play the game, there are plenty of good guides out there, some links to them in this thread. But if you're running around without finding the enemy are you sure you have the basics down ? There should be a waypoint marker on the screen to tell you where to go and using the map is critical, just the combination of waypoints and the map should mean you soon find yourself in the midst of the enemy
I don't struggle to find the bad guys, my problem is staying alive once I do.dont know if u ever played Raven Shield but i loved the realism of that and i think this game could have but i think a 25km.sq map is just too big for 50 players, need 10 times that! Or maybe it just isnt a good MP adv game and should just be played coop against plenty of bots?
It all depends on the mission, and the objectives. One mission could be everyone packed into a small village for close quarters shootouts, the next one could be loong range tank warfare or sniper fights.
At the moment missions are still coming together. If you join an evolution server and ask for a lift to the current objective you will be in the action in no time.
Who is running that OCUK ArmA2 server?

Two words. Vehicle combat.
Have they gotten rid of the omniscient 'radar' in the vehicles? Red = enemy, green = friendly, white = neutral.
I hated that in OFP. It's predominantly an infantry sim, but still.

Thank you, they are going to have a customer in the next two hours
Looks like I spoke to soon regarding performance. It was running great untill I came to the industrial complex early on in the game. Now my FPS is between 17 and 25 and I tried dropping my settings to normal and the resolution down from 1680x1050 to 1280x800 which only raises the fps by 3. I can only presume that my CPU is the the bottleneck
need a quad
4x3 gig = 12
2x4 gig = 8

Must be a very demanding game
