[Chairborne 2594]

Steam is DLing update too for me,

but can anyone tell me, is this the DLC helis only in the update?? or is this also adding FFV and sling load? ( I thought the heli dlc was coming with that right)

Thanks.

Nice sound for the new chopper, so far I only try the CSAT one and it's nicely done.

Well done Bis.

Without trying the update yet..i can speculate 1+ giga is not only about helis imo

[Chairborne 2594]

You forget also all the other already existing assets had to be updated with sling roping, FFV, rotorlib etc.

[miketim 20]

Yeah guys its the Sling load ,FFV and new heli DLC helicopters.

Also has the advanced flight model, and new m-900 littlebird civvie reskin

Also adds a new crate , net box thingy , its got netting around it and its a stack of crates, havent tested but presumably its a sling load usable crate.

Also since the Dev branch stuff, civvie truck has FFV and I assume all the other stuff that needed it does too.

[Wiki 1558]

Why haven't BI made ALL the stuffs / gear (like the double lights, hospital buildings, etc..) available in the editor?

Do they plan to?

[miketim 20]

Oh yeah.. just remembered, didnt BI say heli dlc would have a bunch of new objects....

is that what you are reffering to Wiki ??

Also, hospital buildings are avaible in zeus at least I think...

What are double lights? Do you mean the halogen lamps? Those are in zeus too but not in the editor... :/

[Wiki 1558]

Yes, was reffering to these objects - not the ones that come with the DLC.

Why the hell are Some objects available in Zeus and not in editor???

Hasen't the littlebird model always had an iPod?

[zukov 490]

Hasen't the littlebird model always had an iPod?

perhaps but i saw only today

[call_911 10]

Nice new sounds of rain inpacting Huron roof :D (it's the little things).

[CaptainAzimuth 714]

There was in Take On Helicopters. But really, there would be no point in having music playing in Arma 3 when you can't play your own music for one, and for two, well... I'm certain other's wouldn't be able to hear it.

[old_painless 183]

Noticed that the changelog for main branch (http://dev.arma3.com/post/spotrep-00036) also includes fixes that only ever existed on dev branch. Such as "Fixed: Mission flow issue in Signal Lost when picking up a radio" which was never an issue on stable.

Whoa.

[roberthammer 582]

btw from latest SITREP

What's next for the team? Development focus will be on the second DLC: Marksmen. It is to follow a similar approach by delivering a set of premium assets, bundled with relevant new platform updates for all. We're right in the middle of producing the first new personal firearms and developing concepts for the rest of them. Meanwhile the designers and programmers are prototyping new gameplay features for weapon handling. In parallel, we do also have pre-production and early production of the Expansion terrain in progress. Finally, we obviously will be doing post-release support of Arma 3 Helicopters and we'll continue the maintenance cycle.

also they could use Chris Torchia's MRAD for the marksmen dlc - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7947922/MRAD.JPG

Don't forget early promos showing Miller equipped with an MRAD/M95 lookalike too. Perhaps one of the Marksman weapons will be the Warfare .50 that gets mentioned a few times in the pbos?

i hope that come back the guille suit and NVG plus some "non bullpup" ARifle for the CSAT

[Chairborne 2594]

I wonder what new features they might be working on.

The character movement and weapon handling has been vastly improved since A2, maybe better collision detection for rifles and bipods?
