Guys,
I thought I'd give Arma II a go and was in the basic training last night. Got to the medic part and when I went to pick the wounded guy up and carry him over, I'm unable to move with the guy on my back.. can't put him down either..
Please tell me I'm not being thick.. :rolleyes:
i think mine did that as well, tbh the best way to play Arma is to do a couple of the training missions so as you get all your keys where you want them and then get on the multi player maps with the lads. The medic pick up does work online as just before i left i carried somebody about 50 m intro cover. I think its a quirk in that particular training mission.
sounds like a bug tbh, have had a similar experience online but not in basic training.
just to check thou... did you select the "carry" option in the side menu ?
(i think scrolling the wheel button is the default for selecting the menu)
edit: just checked it is :)
also have you patched the game yet of is it just out of the box ?
the latest patrch is 1.05 (http://www.arma2.com/support/updates/folder.html?lang=en)
thanks Sulky/delan..
all patched to 1.05 and I did select carry.. I picked the guy up on my shoulders and couldn't move an inch.. ??never mind.. I'll give basic a miss.
Another instance of this. Got the game this evening and can't carry the writhing loon anywhere.
Is the "swinging viewpoint" normal or can I config it out, the display acts like a window with inertia?
yeah you need to turn off post processing in options/video options/ advanced :)

I had to disable head bob. it's in the settings somewhere
Yup, now got the head bob and post-p off and it's getting better, running at 1920x1200 OK on Win7 64.
I take it smoothing is best set to zero? And is there a quick run down of what the "axis" settings do?
er....I think 'no' is the quick answer. One the post process and head bob is off I've left it vanilla. There are some additional tweaks if you find it struggles, but it should be ok.
Then get on the server and play it's the quickest and easiest way to learn. Worth mentioning that it's not fragging, I know you well enough to say you know that, but it's worth saying, slowly slowly catchee monkey.
