    Backwards US flag? Is this some sort of NATO thing?

    It's an american thing done by our soldiers, police and the like.

     

    Note: This only applies to patches worn on the right shoulder.

    The blue field of stars should always be in the highest position of honor. When viewing the flag on a wall, the highest position of honor is the upper left when displayed horizontally, and at the top (upper left) when displayed vertically. When displayed on a "moving object" like a person or vehicle, the highest position of honor is the front, and not the rear; so the field of blue should be displayed to the front.

    No thanks.  That type of gimmicky cover system is what ruined the Rainbow 6 and Ghost Recon lines of fps shooters.  Give me "lean left" and "lean right" any day.

    I'd have to say one of the few games to pull off a cover system in an FPS environment well is Red Orchestra 2.

    If it were that kind of cover system I wouldn't mind it in the slightest.  Still good old fashion leaning is preferable to everything else.

    I've found 1 in a barracks, 1 at a heli crash and another on a pilot near a heli crash so three then.  I've been with a friend who has found two; once in a barracks and once on a pilot.

     

    Overall I must have played over 700 hours nearly all of the summer and quite a bit into the fall last year.

     

    I almost never played anything other than vanilla in all of my time playing dayz.  So I am not sure how common they are in the other mods, but I do very well remember the time when duping was rampant.  Running into a tent with 8 pairs of nvgs tucked away wasn't even a rare occurrence(I ran over more tents than I can count).

    Any suggestions for a animator?, we were hoping that maybe Fraggle could help animate the videos, or the maker of DayZ super fun adventures.

    Last time I talked to engan he was pretty busy plus he's not really active on the forums either. Grumpy Cat knows him a lot better than I do though, maybe he could get in contact with him.

    Fraggle may be a better bet.

    Game is folded down.

    Do you mean minimized, alt+tabbed or a laptop playing the game being closed?

    I'm pretty confused by this.

     

    Edit: Pretty sure if any of this was used people would end up walking into walls, trees, whatever and not making any progress or simply just getting themselves killed.

    I will keep it short.

    If that was the short version I am scared to think of the original.

     

    I read and it was a good read, gave me some perspective.

     

    For a while now this part of the forums have been full of 2 or 3 person discussions that just go back and forth in a almost aggressive(or actually aggressive) way. It's gotten a little ridiculous and I think people need to post and read with a clear head and try not to have the opinion of another user influence how they read their posts(as Wayze said look at it from a neutral standpoint). This is what I am assuming most of the arguments taking place here have been based on, just simple misinterpretations.

     Just wondering, to me it sounded like - just came up with that profile and exit screen - that she needed to make a profile first?

    Your computer appdata isn't really easy to get at.

     

    You need to hit Windows+R(to open the run program), then type in appdata.

    Hit enter and you will get to the appdata folders(which are hidden by default).

    Then just find all the Arma 2 or Arma 2 OA files back them up and then delete them.

     

    Sorry for not being more clear about it before, I sometimes forget that the appdata files aren't common knowledge.

     

    Edit: Phrasing

    So with most games the appdata files are not at all tied with the games initial install and are created the first time you launch the game(or make a game save), which I think may also be the case with the arma games but I'm not entirely sure.

     

    Just in-case I recommend verifying the game cache after deleting those files(she is using steam correct?).

     

    If anything this will only re-install the files in appdata, which together are just a little over 50mb.

     

    She will of course need to launch both games first in vanilla before trying to run any mods.

     

    -I should have been more clear with the first post, that's what you get for giving tech advice right after waking up from a nap.-

    That is a tough one, the only possible thing I can think of is deleting Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA from her appdata(make sure to back it up just incase).

     

    Then verify integrity on both of the games.

     

    This may work because re-installing the games has no effect on the the files stored in appdata.

     

    I used this to fix some weird connection issues I had with a game a few years ago.

     

    Hope this helps!

    The DayZ experience is about realism correct?

     

    I have a feeling you don't understand how carrier pigeons actually work.

     

    From an article on carrier pigeons.

     

    Historically, pigeons carried messages only one way, to their home. They had to be transported manually before another flight.
