Hi all,
I looked around but couldn't find clear instructions on the topic.(which can be easily my fault, I must admit, in this case please delete this topic and shame on me).
I own Arma2 and Operation Arrowhead (DVDs, not Steam), and since holidays are coming, I decided to give it a go (I was a big fun of OFP and ARMA at their time).
So, how should I go for it?
I assume:
Install Arma2
Install OA
Install latest patch (combined for both products, I read there is one).
And obviously install all SimHQ missions / required mods, to be able to join the multiplayer fun.
Do I see it right?

Sounds about right to me, but instead of getting the "latest patch" I'd double check with which patch the SimHQ Server is using and only update to that one.

Oh, and you don't actually NEED the missions to be able to play on the SimHQ server, just the required mods.

Hi Staniol,

Install Arma2
Install Operation Arrowhead
Install patch 1.59 for Operation Arrowhead
Install Patch 1.10 for Arma 2 (this is because it came out after 1.59)

There will be a patch 1.60 that replaces these two patches but it is not released yet. When it is released on Steam the rest of us will move to it.

There is a well laid out post at the top of this forum that explains everything you need to play with us. In a nutshell you need-

-IP and password of the server
-Info and password for teamspeak
-The maps that we use

All of that info is in the post, and the maps are hosted here at SimHQ for you to download, ensuring you are using the same ones we are.

We have organized nights on Mondays and Thursdays at 8pm ET - Hope to see you there!

Thanks for all the help, see you on the battlefield!
