karstux 10 Posted July 28, 2011 Right now it's distributed as an addon for Operation Arrowhead. So the preview is only 50mb in size and uses assets of Operation Arrowhead (a landmass for example). I think it's much harder for them to release a stand alone preview, but I absolutely understand your line of thought :) Ok, knowing that it makes sense not to include pre-orderers in the community preview. I wouldn't want them to waste dev resources on a premature standalone version either... I guess I'll be content to be pleasantly surprised at release time. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 128 Posted July 29, 2011 I ended up buying Arma2:OA to test Combat Helo, just 15 euros and I am glad to support the Combat Helo project more.OA it is a very nice game, awesome game isn't it? If you want a good feel of some huge further improvements being made try out the latest beta. pretty damn nice. and being able to fly OA maps with TKOH means you can quickly knock up some fun scenarios in the preview. makes waiting for tkoh easier and the preorder discount sweeter.

FredAirland 14 Posted July 30, 2011 and being able to fly OA maps with TKOH means you can quickly knock up some fun scenarios in the preview. makes waiting for tkoh easier and the preorder discount sweeter. Could you provide a quick hint on how to load OA maps in TOH and where to find the best maps ? I could definitely search the forums myself but an answer from an Arma expert would really help (also for other users...) thanks Fred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUBIX 10 Posted September 1, 2011 I would love to pre-order Take On Helicopters, but I also love to have the physical copies of the software I purchase. I was ready to purchase the pre-order when it was first announced, until I noticed it was only for a digital download. I will happily wait for the physical copy and pay full price to support Take On Helicopters (you can basically count this post as a pre-order if you were using them to see how much interest there is) Waiting with much enthusiasm, RUBIX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eble 3 Posted September 3, 2011 I've found what I do is pre-order get the digital copy straight awat on release date, then later on get a used copy of the physical game. Best of both worlds, always have the hard copy but playing from the day of release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUBIX 10 Posted September 18, 2011 Okay, I definitely need some help. I would like to pre-order to get into the Beta, but I would also like a physical copy. I think I found a solution, but I need to know if I am allowed to do it: I am thinking of pre-ordering to get the beta, then buy the hard copy when the game is released, and finally give the digital copy to my friend. Is this feasible? Let's just say I like having the original; I still have the original SimCopter and the aviator glasses that came with the box game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slasher8u 10 Posted October 2, 2011 Hi, I want to pre-order, but I can`t see Australian Dollar in the Currency menu. Can I choose which ever and it will convert into Australian automatically? Cheers Ash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samb 15 Posted October 2, 2011 Yes it will be done by Your bank (using their own exchange rate- usually not a very good deal, but not a big problem when buying simply a computer game). Sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
