[Lazee 6]

Hey guys does anybody know of a shooting range where you can practice your sniping on targets at various ranges as shown here

I have already tried installing a shooting range but it would not work and when I start a game with the mission it loads for a second then just shows me scenery in chenarus with sound an thats it, here is the mod i tried: http://www.armaholic...ge.php?id=14616

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Huh. I thought one was already in Arma :/ Guess not, will check now.

Not that I know of? although im new to Arma and only purchased it to play Dayz with some friends so if there is one please tell me where to find it :)

I have the same problem with the loading of the mod into scenery.

Weird part is that it was working fine a couple days ago, but now no matter how many times I load it, it messes up.

Reinstalled a few times.

Really are you launching Arma2 or Arma2 Combined Operations and are you using the six launcher?

use the mission editor and make one yourself

takes about five minutes

I have tried but failed miserably can you give me an step by step idiots guide? i just want an as50 with a few clips of ammo and targets set at 400m 500m 600m 700m all the way upto 1600m. But ideally I would like to find a shooting range as shown in the video of my original post

Here are two custom maps (for A2):

http://www.armaholic...ge.php?id=14616 (Multiplayer)

http://kronzky.info/...range/index.htm (Singleplayer)

source: http://www.reddit.co...s_a_custom_map/ this also can help setup the missions and all that.

edit: the video is using the MP one (I think) and it has a bullet camera which is pretty nice.. you get to see how the bullets bounce of the pavement and all that..

Ok so i have gone into single player mission editor with the second link you posted and have selected utes and then the TargetRange files and now how do i actually get into the game and start playing on the map, im completely new to the arma series so sorry if this is a really stupid question

[Lazee 6]

I'm pretty sure i know why it wont work now because I lack the 'utes' map in my Operation arrowhead folder any idea where i can find it. I have been able to get the shooting range in Arma2 original but now just need to get it to work in Operation arrowhead so i can use guns such as the AS50, any ideas?

[Lazee 6]

So basically I have found out what the problem is when I decided to get DayZ I purchased Operation Arrowhead but only downloaded the Arma2 FREE Trial which means when I launch Operation Arrowhead normal or Operation Arrowhead: Combined operations it tells me I am missing the maps chernarus and utes both of which are required for the target practice maps. So are there any sniping practics mods for OA? or another workaround?

Just had the same problem and noticed I had the DayZ loading screen. So I clicked expansions in the main menu and set it to OA. Game reloads and voila - you can start the mission now.
