ArmAriffic 10 Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) http://takeonthegame.com/download/community-preview/ Welcome to the Take On Helicopters Community Preview!What? A light helicopter, a new flight model & many other new engine additions / improvements When? Very soon, and with regular updates Who? Freely available to anyone who owns Operation Arrowhead Why? Gathering feedback before the official release, rewarding our loyal community, and preparing the modders! Where? Find the latest version and changelog on this page (soon) Important: these releases are very much work-in-progress (wip) and do not feature final content. We’ll try to list major known issues, but if you are not willing to deal with wip features, bugs or instability, please do not try these releases and wait for the game to be finished! We look forward to receiving your feedback on our official forums, where you can discuss many different aspects of the game. The Community Issue Tracker is also kindly providing a project category to post issues to directly, which is useful for keeping a track of known issues.

sparks50 0 Posted June 24, 2011 Well yes, this version seems to be piggybacking on OA a whole lot :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted June 24, 2011 'Tis pity I'm busy this weekend :) but, I will try it whenever I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobocz 10 Posted June 24, 2011 In an hour I will have about 1 hour window for testing. I'm looking forward to it and also a little afraid of helicopter crashing :o. I can confirm that on computer without Arrowhead, preview is not working. I wanted to see menu :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1124 Posted June 24, 2011 it installs in way similar to OA public betas ... so You can apply same measures You do usually with betas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Dammit, I've been refreshing the download page like forever! :p Edited June 24, 2011 by CarlGustaffa Feedback in wrong thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted June 24, 2011 Thanks BIS! To drunk for flying today but there is a day tomorrow... :) /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted June 24, 2011 Absolutely the way to go BIS, please make something like this also for Arma 3 so that we can have a bugfree Release. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viper[cww] 14 Posted June 24, 2011 Absolutely awesome, I was on the fence with ToH but after seeing this preview, I cant wait to see the first release and hopefully see some of the flight characteristics/handling/toggle options added to ArmA III. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodunit 397 Posted June 24, 2011 Argh! I can't wait to get home and try this...just two more days...*eyetwitch* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viper[cww] 14 Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) My only issue with it so far is the action menu is kind of hard to know which action is highlighted as the colours pretty much remain the same, regardless of that its pretty cool... I made a video for those who cant try it..... EDIT: Discovered you can have different hud colour presets as well as a custom colour :) IVwD4NYhqHE I think I need to re-assess my procedure for fast landings now :D Edited June 25, 2011 by VIPER[CWW] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SrA Bolano 0 Posted June 24, 2011 How do I download it? Because every time I click on the .Zip file it just takes me to a white page full of weird symbols... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-97thRR-ANGEL 10 Posted June 24, 2011 @Tonci87 That is a great idea actually and I think they should listen to that but then again I know nothing about the commercial aspect of release a WIP release before the game is out (Hackers might be able to pirate it easier or just turn it into a full game?) I'm not sure but I think it is a good idea -ANGEL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted June 24, 2011 Something rather interesting for TrackIR users (can't speak for Freetrack): 6DOF supported! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArmAriffic 10 Posted June 24, 2011 I'm surprised there's no user missions yet :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted June 24, 2011 And it's incredibly awkward. Then again I was never that comfortable using TIR... Completely agree, to me it seems to be oversensitive at the moment. Besides that, i couldn't play ArmA 2 without TIR anymore. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aspire 11 Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Plays very good, I like the userfriendlyness for non-trackir users. P.S: Seattle beta map in next preview please :D? Edited June 24, 2011 by Aspire Edit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightsta1ker 10 Posted June 25, 2011 Can't wait to try it. Soon as I get everything up and running on my rig I will try it out. I am very eager to see how realistic those flight controls are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enad 11 Posted June 25, 2011 I tried it, only 1 new Helo but other wise It's cool. I love the 20k View Distance and Object Draw Distance, we need that in ArmA 2! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the 20k View Distance and Object Draw Distance, we need that in ArmA 2! :) I'm afraid that viewdistance is more than my poor cpu can bare lol, at least when I make them equal at large distances.

onlyrazor 11 Posted June 25, 2011 I suck at this, but I still love it. I think I'm going to buy it as soon as it comes out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
