combined arms n00b question

[silverdevil]

hello all.

i have a question. i own CA and have never really used it. i thought i would make a little mission to drive around parts of where i was stationed in germany. i placed an m60a3 (my tank when i was there) on the map. i see nowhere to make it PLAYER like the AC do in ME. what am i doing wrong?

are there vehicles that cannot be operated by PLAYER maybe. sorry like i said n00b question. thanks!

It does not work exactly the same as aircraft. You do not need to set vehicles as player nor client. You have to check the "Player can drive" checkbox, and then from the F10 map you can click the "Unit take control" button on the upper bar to access it.

Yeah, not all of them are player drivable but most are - you can check if the "Player can drive" option is there in ME.

If it's the only vehicle in your mission you'll start in F7 ground unit view - then you can hit Ralt+J to take control, no need to go into F10 map.

thanks draconus. CA is interesting to say the least.
