scotsgrey Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Install the versions in sequence, then install the beta, as we all use it on line now. I would suggest yopu also download the latest smoke and fire mod by chance and fidel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuikovChambered Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Pardon me, but does not having the beta version mean no ability to play online on a server that has it? It concerns me as I'm a Version 2.328 user myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Correct. You must be using the same version as the host.Also, the Beta does not require any of the updates. Just download, extract and install. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertowl Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 More n00b questions...in the LEO2A5, while in commander outside view, for some reason I can't override the gunner.is this a joystick issue (x52) or am i doing something wrong? in the M1A1 it works like magic...BTW, I also noticed the weird graphical episcope problem that was reported by Hedgehog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 in the LEO2A5, while in commander outside view, for some reason I can't override the gunner.That's intentional.Technically it is possible but you need a long arm, an awkward position to reach the two buttons, and then the turret usually gos in the wrong direction because the stabilized peri was pointing in a different direction than where the target is. We decided to simply strike this function. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertowl Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Another question - what is the function of SHIFT + CTRL (mark position)? It does nothing accept giving me a crosshair icon on screen as far as I can tell...And while I'm at it - where can i find hight and texture maps of the Golan heights (or any other region in Israel/bordering neighbors) , I saw some missions written for the area, but I couldn't find the map itself for download.I'm getting the hang of it, soon I'll feel ready enough to go online.Thanks for the help and best regards,Moshe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 You can find different maps for download here:http://www.steelbeasts.com/Downloads/p13_sectionid/20If you've seen a scenario with a map that you want to use, you can open the scenario in the mission editor and extract the map. Then you can build your own mission. Apart from that, you'd would have to ask around for someone to make the height map for you, then you would have to build the terrain file yourself which can be a huge amout of work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted April 15, 2008 Members Share Posted April 15, 2008 Another question - what is the function of SHIFT + CTRL (mark position)? It's supposed to be used in situations when you, the human user, want to tell the computer that you have spotted something. It could be that your mission is to scout a certain place. Now, it's up to you from where you want to observe the place. In this case it's impractical for the mission designer to create a scoring formula that rewards you for capturing one of potentially many regions from which you can observe the target area. It's better to count the number of units that have been reconnoitered in the target region. But how does the computer know that you spotted something?You need to tag it somehow.You can do so by using the laser range finder, or, if you're in a crew/observer position without access to the LRF, use the Shift+Lase combo (release the Lase button/Ctrl key while keeping Shift pressed to "fire" the tag).That's all it does. But if the crosshairs were lined up with the target properly the computer will now know that you spotted something.In addition this can be useful if the computer is (seemingly) unaware of a threat while you're in the external observer's position. That way you can make sure that the computer-controlled crew will take the threat into account while prioritizing the targets around it. It's not a priority override command though. The unit may still decide not to open fire, e.g. because the current battle position has Hold Fire orders or it's out of ammo or it couldn't damage the target or there's another target with an even higher threat rating (which you may not have spotted yet). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
