  1. I didn't realize the player ID's needed updating after the expansion, well here it is and thanks: SARmedic 2801984 With any luck I'll be on the server later.
  2. Just wondering if I can get back on the fly/drive list. Thanks. P.S. Thanks to Zeno for getting my game working again.
  3. Thanks Jeff and Zeno. No mods at all? Now that's what I'm talking about. I picked up bad company off the steam sale and got side-tracked playing the single player campaign, lol. Sure makes you appreciate ArmA all the more, but it is fun in an arcade sort of way.
  4. I picked it up too, sure wish I knew about the DRM, the yuplay, and control problems first. I finished all the tutorial flights to get a feel for it, and it does play nicely. Then I tried to join the multiplayer session and it just wouldn't connect. Looking for answers online is when I found out about all the problems with yuplay and the game itself, argh. (don't get me started about the torrent client crap) It would be nice to play online, but as it stands I'll probably be deleting this from my drive.
  5. Hi guys. I finally picked up OA and am ready to get back online and into the game. I downloaded the latest rar file that Zeno posted above but want to wait until I get some assistance on TS so I install it correctly. (Later today or tomorrow, quite busy this morning.) Do I need anything else before joining the servers? Game and OA are all patched up BTW. Thanks.
  6. I don't have ACE, so I haven't even thought about joining. If the "normal" version is being played I would be all over it, but I don't know...
  7. When I get the bandwidth I will download the extra bells and whistles, for now I have to stay with the essentials. I am heading to LA next weekend to visit my father, I'll leech everything off his connection while I'm there. I now have ACE and the sparta mods working, or so it seems. I am getting ready to hop on TS and see how it all works, fingers crossed... EDIT: No joy. Looks like I need ACEx before I can join that server, totally bummed. I'll download it when I go to LA, I just don't have the bandwidth allowance to do it from my place. Hope you all have fun tonight, see you soon.
  8. I downloaded it yesterday, v1.1.1.349.7z. The digital compass was not in the @sparta mod so I just installed that too. Unfortunately I am using 1.04 so I have to download the 1.05 patch, argh... Oh well, it will get me going at least. Is the game tonight on the ACE server or the original one? If it is on the ACE server, I would like to get that installed as well. I'll jump on TS in a bit, I still have a few things to do this morning before I can get too into this. (Because once I start, that's it!) Can't wait to see everybody again! NCO, are you out there??
  9. Thanks guys, that was fast. Zeno, I do have the Ace mod downloaded but not installed yet. (wasn't sure if I needed it or not.) Is it a fairly easy install? I can't download anything too large, I have a 5GB/MO cap on bandwidth. I am living where you can only get satellite or air-card internet service, and the bandwidth cap really sucks. If I need something very large I guess I can drive to a Starbucks and drink some coffee and download it.
  10. It's been over three months since I played (or had an internet connection) and I am on a new computer. I am now in my new place and am able to join in again, but I need to get everything together. I have: Updated ArmA 2 game, @Sparta mod, and TS3. Do I need anything else or is that enough? I really want to play for a while this afternoon, and lucky me if it isn't TacDom night! Thanks, SAR
  11. I have internet access again!

  12. I have internet access again!

  13. Thanks guys! Day late and a dollar short, I think not! Nobody knew about my birthday so I really appreciate the warm wishes.
  14. I thought that wasn't until the 30th (28th, FEB)? If you are on TS3 I need to dl it...
  15. Thanks for the times Idan, quick reply... Thank you Halli! Looks like I will be on earlier than some of the tac game, but I will be on this morning. I was thinking you guys across the pond would start earlier than that, if so grab me from the normal server.
  16. Birthday was yesterday and I am taking today off too. I've always started tacdom around 1300 PST and I am already in the thick of things. I know 0900 for me is 1700 in the UK, but my real question is: "What time do the actual games begin?" Thanks, SAR
  17. Watch this Anthony Bourdaine (sp?) show. He is a chef that travels all over the world, this show is from Panama. During the show he is asked to witness something...the burning of 6 TONS of cocaine, which the government on scene says is worth $300-600 Million dollars. They say they find this weekly I think, but you have to see it for yourself. Skip to the 21 minute mark and watch from there, you won't believe it. I'm sure they were all high after chopping up the blocks and then burning them. Megavideo Link - Huge Bust OP - They are famous for counterfitting US money, I wonder if any of that was real?
  18. For the last 12 or so years I have been building my own systems (A+, Net+, 'paper' MCSE, etc, etc, etc.) and used both AMD/Intel CPU's, and ATi/Nvidia graphics cards, so I have been all over the place. I really like Intel CPU's, they seem to perform better (and cooler) albeit a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for. AMD is still in my heart, but the run so damn HOT, and are more prone to crashing. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Now that AMD and ATi are working together, they have made something spectacular, the 5970. This cards specs blow every other card out of the water, hardware alone, but it also proves it with performance. The heat is an issue, I would have to consider a water cooling option if I ever bought one of these monsters. I am going with my laptop in the near future as I will be doing some traveling, so I picked up this one and it will be here tomorrow. I am still using two 8800 GTS cards in this computer, and they are still working quite well after around two years, I m sure if I dropped the 5970 in it I would wet myself. If you can afford it, that's the card IMHO...
  19. Great that you are willing to learn the game. Most Dom (domination) games are played with a fair amount of team play and control, even though the coms may be quiet. Ask which team status you should be in, usually "Delta", and you will see the other players. Also, change the status so that you can view players by name...and increase your view distance to 4000 at least. So, get equipped, set your view distance, join the right team, and you are set at the start. After that, make sure you are on TS, very hard to work unless you can communicate with others. Listen to others. Many people on this server are current or former military (or know the tactics) so listen to them and stay 'fairly' close. (I say 'fairly' because bunching up is bad, lol.) Have fun and I look forward to playing with you. Just listen to the "regular" players (you will sense them) and enjoy yourself. P.S. No flying or driving for fun, that is very tactical and is regulated. Once you are good at it, through offline practice, you may be able to do it on the server, just an FYI.
  20. This came up last night. One of the opfor bases was so close to the base that they initiated a mortar strike on us, taking out seven of us at the spawn area. Should this be allowed? It seems like the old "base camping" type of thing in other games, really unfair. There were a few of us that talked about it and wanted to say something. Looks like I get the honor... This was in the Big Dom version N last night. Thanks, SAR
  21. http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=194104 (No proxy needed) I usually go with the MegaUpload or StageVu option, they are divx quality. I watched the combat chefs episode and some of it had to do with the same guys, the same posts for sure. They did a run from one FOB to another, and it was pretty interesting how they orchestrated it. Worth a watch.
  22. I was in the USN nuclear power field, and unless they really fook something up, no worries.
  23. You can get a clean power supply for much less than that, modular as well. If you are going to spend $400 for the 5870 you may as well go for the $600 5970 which is double the card. Get a SSD for your OS, and a cheaper 2TB drive for your main, it will probably cost the same or less. You shouldn't need to buy a fan if you purchase the correct case. I have a $150 case with great fans, and it never registers above 32C. (It has the temp displayed right on the front.) You should be able to get faster memory for that price. I have a HannsG 30" monitor, which goes for less than yours. (Although I spent about $500 for it when it came out.) Still running great, and I highly recommend it. Overall, looks like a monster! P.S. I was looking to rebuild my computer so I am up to date on the latest equipment, and actually had all the components picked out but couldn't pull the trigger. They are probably still in my shopping cart at Newegg.
