Thats odd considering you can loop with helicopters...or atleast with the more agile attack helicopters.

More agile ones yes, but not Mi-8/17 (or Mi-24 for that matter)...

It appears the IgroMir build flashpoint.ru filmed was from 21/08/2006

So there might be even more fun stuff in the current one.

On another note it's disgusting how many fansites there are who just steal other peoples work without giving any credit whatsoever.

Guess they're really short for ad revenue.

have you recognized this amazing screens from artillery? i think its the first one we saw....

If you dig a little further you'll find a video of it also.

It looks real fun.

Artillery was seen back in the GC version.

I suppose that is the medic on the left? That's the first time I recall seeing what looks like the new (and more accurate) medic's pack in a screenshot. (or perhaps I'm unobservant)

I'm guessing Special Forces since all the soldiers with the packs seem to be carrying silenced weapons.

That is a possibility too. From looking closely at that pack though, I was thinking that it was shaped more like the STOMP2 medical bag rather than a typical pack.

Now that I've seen the IngoMir videos, it appears more likely to be a MOLLE main pack rather than a medical pack as I had originally thought.

Nice! that's the first time I've seen an artillery piece.

hey i've never seen artillery in the older arma vids but i remember Bis speaking about it being put into the game

hehe damn i only seen one of the ingomir vids but arma feels even more and more sweet for every month of waiting and the waiting feels really it will pay off..

Also even more arma mission eitor videos and i will know exactly where most of the buttons and stuff is soon

True..I'v heard the Mi-24 is more like a very heavy plane than a helicopter and even though it may be very fast,its maneuverability isn't the best really.. However I HOPE that the AH-1Z can do loops,if an AH-64 can look then I don't see the AH-1Z cannot. (in reality) I wouldn't expect a UH-60 to do this however.

Look at this video. At least Mi-28 CAN do loop.

As modern as it is,I would really hope it can. Heh..in a part of the video where it shows an optics screen,rather amusing that is uses the same type the AH-64D uses,so this is Russia's counterpart eh?

But by loops I was moreso thinking the side twists..I forget what they are called..

I hope every vehicle can do what it can in real life. Not more, not less.

Barrel roles?

I think the Lynx can do Barrel rolls and Loops too.

It can acoding to this vid anyway.

Wow,that computers specs are lower than mine I think..

Pentium 2.4 ghz processor.

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro

2 Gig ram

and I forgot memory.. Odd that AA can be played on such low specs with great quality.

Actually your specs are a little lower, a Geforce 6600 is a Shader model 3 card and more powerfull than a Radeon 9600.

Someone had to say it .

Still, your pc isn't that bad.

Anyway, I wonder how ArmA will do on a 7800GT

That's true, however the 6600 is such a low-end SM3 card that you can't actually play any games newer games with that shader model, at least not at a decent framerate.

Still, it makes for impressing ads

True, but some newer games (Splinter Cell Double Agent and GRAW) wont work on anything lower than a Geforce 6 series. It may not run these games anywhere near high settings, but it can run them whereas lower cards can't. Some less demanding Shader model 3 effects can be used while still running smoothly. Simple light bloom effects (which can be done in shader model 1 and 2 but the results aren't as good - performance is lower), parralax mapping (not very high res though), blur, and some other effects. Although true HDR (not Half-Life 2 style - which is actually SM2) is too much for the card to handle.

I've got a X850XT, which is ATI's version of the 6600/6800 but doesn't have the SM3.

It runs all the games you mentioned nicely. Once game development reaches a point when SM3 is actually needed to play a game (say for example Unreal3) you are screwed with both 6600 and X850, no matter what SM they support. That's all I'm saying, enough with the off topic

[Dwarden 1125]

don't forget some of devs got ATI SM2+ cards too so it must work fine on non SM3 hw also

ATI's version of the 6600 is the x1600XT, as that one does have SM3

EDIT: And my x1600xt plays gothic 3 fine with SM3 turned on, but im definitely not a FPS whore, 20FPS is more then enough for me

Thanks for the info,now I know that I need a graphics card more than a processor,been in debate of which to buy lately and I wasn't quite sure...And yes the term I was searching for was barrel rolls.

If a helicopter's rotor system is fully articulated (that is, if it can flex to a certain point without breaking), then it's figuratively possible to perform advanced aerobatic maneuvers. As mentioned, the AH-64 has such a rotor system, along with several other aircraft. I believe the Mi-24 had a fully articulating rotor since it's inception, but I'm not sure on that.

UH-1s (except for the Yankee model) and AH-1s (barring the Zulu) are examples of helicopters without fully articulating blades. Certain maneuvers (especially involving negative G) will cause the rotor links to snap and the rotor to slice through the fuselage.
