I'm just trying this 'Downtown Patch' now, well, once it's downloaded.

We have something in the pipeline for TKOH, we believe to be a major addition for all fans out there. Though we cannot announce when it will be fully done, we just couldn't wait telling you.

The next official patch (codename Downtown) will automatically and seamlessly merge TKOH with a lot of our previous releases, should you have legitimate copies installed

Some examples of what this means:
Flying in different sceneries, such as beautiful Chernarus (with improvements like clouds and lighting)
More civilian vehicles, characters and environments to use in scenarios
Taking on the massive Arma ORBATs in the newly released Hind
No messing around with copying PBOs or other manual merging tasks (install the patch, start TKOH, enjoy the best of both worlds)

Has anyone tried it yet? Any good? I've not played since 1.02 so be interesting to see what's changed..

Good question, I've also had TOH parked awaiting this release of the official patch, but hadn't heard if it came out.

Well it seems to work ok

It's nice not to have to fiddle with PBO files. Obviously opens up a lot of ARMA II models to get shot at in a Hind..

Cool will check it out.

Hmm, I wonder that now that ARMA II and ToH are up to the same patch level then has anyone ever seen a PBO hack or something that would allow for A2OA/CO to play on the Seattle map?

That would be fun.

Just installed this over the weekend.

I confirm I can fly ToH birds and use ToH assets in Arma II based Maps, but sadly Arma II assets are not (automatically at least) imported into ToH (Unless I'm missing something in the editor).

One thing I did notice, is that my performance bogs in Arma II, which I suspect has to do with higher res textures and more trees.

Not a big deal, but it'll be a bit annoying having to switch graphics options for each map.

Yeah I keep waiting for their official patch that said it would automagically do all the assets copying, but it has not been released after the Release Candidate was released on May 5th...

At this point I should just go ahead with the Release Candidate patch I guess, I bet the summer vacation season caused a delay in the final patch release

Actually, I'll bet E3 caused some delays as they had to get Arma 3 ready.

Also, didn't this come out in July?

It looks like they are working on merging TOH exe beta improvements from Arma2OA with the Re-Armed Release Candidate data changes:

I guess I will just stay patient a bit longer.

Good to hear some news. The wait was starting to kill me a bit!
