I receive the following error message using the latest release for Arma I, with Arma 1.16:

"Cannot load material file ad_helos\textures\mh60k\rvmat\mh60_3_co.rvmat".

This occurs the first time I place any of the choppers in the editor and then preview them in game. Oddly enough they look fine, but i guess something is missing somewhere.

I'm getting this same error in the ArmA 2 version, very strange. I have combed over that material file time and time again but can't find anything wrong with it. I will keep looking, anyone else that gets this bug please let me know.

Thanks for reporting that,

EDIT: The error message seems to be intermittent in Arma2, happens every 3rd-4th preview in the editor, do you get this EVERY time?

So just for my own records there are 3 bugs so far that I know of in the ArmA 1 version:

1. Error message: "Cannot load material file ad_helos\textures\mh60k\rvmat\mh60_3_co.rvmat".

2. Visible light squares on the front of the helicopters where the spotlights are.

3. Errors about it requiring Version 1.14 of ArmA

Seems to be only the first time that the error comes up. After that, no matter how many previews I do (which is alot usually) from the editor it doesn't reoccur.

I noticed that the free view look of the gunner was a bit odd, sort of like x-ray vision of the inside of the chopper when I shouldn't have been able to...but as I tend never to play as door gunners I don't know whether this is normal for Arma (as in engine problem) or related to the rvmat error, or something else. I've certainly seen the same sort of thing with the gunner positions of other mods before.

I'm not getting that at all, I know what would cause it.

I will try to put a fix for it in the next version.

I need some dedicated testers.
