4 IN 1 0 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) So its the realistic version of Sim Chopper then? Do our protagonist have any type of military experience? Was he in 160TH SOAR before?:p Edited March 31, 2011 by 4 IN 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dale0404 5 Posted March 31, 2011 Well... BIS is game dev and they have serval studios, so I cant judge they making other games than arma or mil. sim. I actually like to look how Carrier Command and this will turn out. BUT I do hope, they wont drop supporting mil. sim genere, because there isnt nothing better than Arma basically, and I am so tired those FPS-ses witch trying to be lik COD and all have same mechanics... They have enought man power to make diferent games same time so, I'm waiting Arma3 announcment xD They wouldn't drop support for Arma, period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Undeceived 392 Posted March 31, 2011 Son...Take that...Chopper...at...12 o'clock. :D Good one! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electricleash 133 Posted March 31, 2011 Those who mentioned Simcopter in the teaser thread were probably not far wrong. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Was starting to worry that the devs were going to burn out, doing the same thing for 10+ years can take it's toll. As much as I love ARMA2 and guns, would make a refreshing change of pace from the pew pew pew. E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max255 59 Posted March 31, 2011 Regarding helos - all are correct except they're remodelled a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3157 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Making a chopper sim.... thats one of the most complex things you can do on a PC as a developer. I'm sceptical about it, we can't even get a properly animated characters and vehicle physics in Arma :) competitve scenario: rescue wounded folks from a highway crash (will the "infantry" be simulated?), put down fires, etc..

tupolov 520 Posted March 31, 2011 Congrats BIS on the new WIP... Personally not something I'm interested in, but lets hope it supports and feeds into development of the ARMA series. Still hoping its an April Fools joke! :eek: ... lets hope those guys who took the day off from work take advantage of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakerod 254 Posted March 31, 2011 Not that excited about this. Then again I don't know what you do in it really so maybe once I know what the levels will be like I might like it more. Graphically though it looks really good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_antipop 10 Posted March 31, 2011 Happy 1st of April tomorrow :D :D :D I damn well hope so... And in secret they announce ArmA 3 and new engine.... :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikkeduif 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Hopefully this is a joke for the 1st of april :) Why would they want to develop a helicopter game while we (flight simmers) already have fsx/fs2004 with an already huge mod/addons community, which probably has all the features this game will ever have... Smells like a joke :) But I also hope they announce something new and arma related or something :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gossamersolid 155 Posted March 31, 2011 I don't think it's a joke if they've went far enough to register new domains, announce it to gaming publications such as PC Gamer and made a new section of the forums. Seems like a waste of money to pull this large of a joke lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontknowhow 33 Posted March 31, 2011 I damn well hope so... +1. Site is still offline, fingers crossed. Zipper, no need to quote PC Gamer again, I saw it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SFG 1 Posted March 31, 2011 Well BIS hasn't made it clear whether or not this is for April Fools or not. Until then they will leave us in speculation. Could be fun though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max255 59 Posted March 31, 2011 Dare I ask the question. How many of you are going to go out and buy this in December? I for sure. I'm into aviation since 6yo... Definately it's something worth a try by me ;] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
