Stang~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hi Guys, I need your help please. I have been trying to use the Air Dom server to take Aviation related screen shots, for the Aviation Standards Guide with no luck. I can connect and run on all the servers (All Sparta Servers) without any issues EXCEPT this server. Its always does the same thing, I log in, re spawn at the main base and as soon as I jump in an aircraft and start the engine(s), it crashed to desktop. I am running the Steam version of Arma2 All my drivers are completely updated no issues with any of our other servers Below is the Shortcut string that I use to launch the Air Dom server "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 33900 -nosplash -mod=@VopSound_2.1 -mod=@at_gui -mod=@proper 2 Main Questions Is there anything I can do on this end to fix it Is it possible for me to run a map with all aviation aircraft on it (and available to fly) on my machine? Below are my machine Specs for additional info Area-51® X58 Processor: Intel® Core? i7-920 2.66 GHz 8MB Cache Alienware P2 Chassis: Alienware® P2 Chassis with AlienIce? 3.0 Video Cooling - Space Black AlienFX®: Alienware® Standard System Lighting - Astral Blue Alienware P2 Chassis Upgrades: Alienware® Standard System Cooling Power Supply: Alienware® 750 Watt Multi-GPU Approved Power Supply Graphics Processor: Single 1,792 MB NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 295 Video Optimizer: AlienAdrenaline v1.0: Video Performance Optimizer - More Info Memory: 6GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 3 x 2048MB Motherboard: Alienware® Approved Intel® X-58 Motherboard- Socket 1366 Core i7 Ready, Dual Triple Channel DDR3 Memory Operating System (Office software not included): Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium (64-bit Edition) with Service Pack 1 System Drive: Single Drive Configuration - 500GB SATA 3Gb/s 7,200RPM 16MB Cache Additional Storage Drive: Additional Storage Drive - 1TB SATA 3Gb/s 7,200RPM 32MB Cache Optical Drives : Single Drive Configuration - 20X Dual Layer Burner (DVD±RW) w/ LightScribe Enthusiast Essentials: Dual High Performance Gigabit Ethernet Ports Sound Card: High-Definition 7.1 Performance Audio Keyboard: Standard Keyboard - Standard Keyboard Mouse: Standard Mouse - Standard Optical 3-Button Mouse with Scroll Wheel Removable Storage: Alienware® 28-in-1 Media Card Reader with Bluetooth Power Plan: Standard Power Plan Automatic Updates: Automatic Updates On for Critical Updates Only Thanks for all the help Guys Tejay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've been having the same problem, but I'm not sure if it's the map or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I think the map is buggy - I'd suggest not using it until Strongharm has a chance to look at it again. I think the opening scene is causing quite a memory issue and the map fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hey Kal, didn't you suggest at one time our crashes were due to something with the registry? Not sure if that covers Windows 7 or not, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Was I drunk? I don't recall this. But then again, thats common. I don't know of any registry settings for Arma. Just command line options like maxmem, or winxp. Another tip I saw from people was to play the game using the "low" video card memory setting.. apparently Arma doesn't know how to allocate its video memory well, and if you keep it to low it will do better. *shrug* Such a testy damn game..

Stang~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Is there a simple way to get a map running on my machine with all aircraft on it and flyable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 It may help if the server gets beyond the intro before you join Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Is there a simple way to get a map running on my machine with all aircraft on it and flyable? You can use the editor for that, Stang. If you place the aircraft from the "Empty" group, there won't be any crew in it, so you can hop in and fly around.

Stang~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) OK I've had a go at the editor and now I'm ready to tie the garden hose around my neck, other end to the chimney and throw myself off the roof. ......Auuuuugh I can place aircraft just fine (with the unit tool) and they're always full of troops. How in in the friggen hell do you place aircraft from the "Empty Group" I can't find anything labeled "empty group" no where in any of the selections Heeeeeeelp....please and yes I already know....its Operator Error... ME!! You can use the editor for that, Stang. If you place the aircraft from the "Empty" group, there won't be any crew in it, so you can hop in and fly around.

T_1 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Pick Unit, then at the side Don't select BLUFOR, at the botton of the list it should say EMPTY, click this, then Select Air, and it should give you what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MH6~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Pick Unit, then at the side Don't select BLUFOR, at the botton of the list it should say EMPTY, click this, then Select Air, and it should give you what you want. And place a player first. The 'Empty' selection won't be visible unless you've already placed a playable character. So place a US Riflemen set to Player and then you can place empty vehicles from the Empty category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
