Thanks for the heads up Lowe.

How are you enjoying Ace?

Truth be told I've had a bonkers couple of weeks and haven't had time to really have a proper go. Will have a nosy over Xmas - what about yourself?

I've been really impressed with it. It's what ArmA2 should have been out of the box. I'm running it with Chammy's sound mod (unreleased beta) and it's very immersive. Plus, the server I play on (Zeus) has tweaked the AI to make them harder, so the engagements at distance are superb with lots of suppressive fire.

I'm not convinced that the grass concealment works.. as it still disapears from view and is just flat texture.

Maybe it makes people invidible in that instance... cant work it out

HOpefully it won't crash in the city level every 15 mins now... crosses fingers
