Dang, I've been playing the Arma II demo and have to say, it sucks.

First mission running up off the beach. Creep up slowly, using houses for cover. Peek around corner, scan for enemy, nothing there. Move up to next house slowly, look around, can't see....oh I'm dead. Where is he? Tell my troops I'm hit....they are going to rescue me....waiting, waiting, waiting, tell them I'm dying. They're on their way! Waiting, waiting, waiting. Scan around look for the dude who shot me...no where to be seen....still waiting.....Esc, Restart Mission.

Rinse, repeat.

I'm yet to shoot a bad guy yet have died about 7-8 times thus far.

And the controls are horrible although that's something which will improve with practice I suppose, like all games.

The patches fixed a number of major campaign issues. Also, you can alter the difficulty specifically by changing the accuracy of enemies as well as allies. Theres a bunch of stuff to make it easier.

Usually you send your troops ahead of you and stay back with the sniper. You have to really use the squad commands to to keep everyone together and alive.

I'm glad people are buying Arma2 just for DayZ. Arma3 comes out in October and its only a matter of time before the next DayZ pops up. Will be excited to see what the engine can do. Heaps of customisables this time

Any idea on a release date?

Looking forward to a non hacked server, but dosent everyone cry when servers are passworded?

it will run on its own hive and will start with 1 server more to be added depending on how full it gets and is designed for Aussie groups and players which will for players on there own be good and allow for some constant struggle between groups for gear and vehicles

only downside is because it runs on its own hive your player wont go onto other servers

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
