I wouldn't mind the flying at all. What I do mind is that because of the flying, you can't use the helicopter for anything other than a fancy taxi. The only thing about the flying is the sensitivity. They act like paper choppers, you turn a little to the left or right and you flip right away.

You cant have air vs air battles or air vs ground. Unless you use auto aiming missiles all the time.

The plane dogfighting is even horrible if not impossible.

Thats what ruins it for me

Honestly I can't really see why you make such a fuss about that in every thread you can find.

There are several videos out that clearly show that it's just not generally true what you're telling. Many people (myself included) can hit things pretty well with unguided missiles and cannon. Heck I even tried it myself with keyboard and mouse instead of using the joystick, just to see whether it's really that hard like some people claim. And guess what? It's not. It's even easier with mouse and keyboard.

Now for the sake of it, if you have problems hitting something with the current flight model, then go do some practice instead of spending your time constantly complaining about things that aren't really much of an issue anymore. Thanks.

Because they dicide to ignore them? I don't see anyone dogfighting in ARMA.

Wonder why uhmmm.

Because they suck at flying? tounge2.gif It just takes practice, it's not bad. I flew around a bit in a blackhawk and it flies pretty well.

Will try the Mi17 later.

Edit: Romolus does have a good point.

Here's a tip, get yourself a flight simulator and stop whining. You have been doing nothing but complaining, since the game was released.

If it's so bad, just return (or sell it) and get over it.

This is game is about infantry combat and not helicopter acrobatics (which btw doesnt require much skill to fly).

The demo works fine for me, but I keep getting disconnected from servers. Apparently they are very unstable at the moment. Also it seems to take me a rather long time to 'Recieve Data' when I want to join.

Right now I am running on all settings at Very High, with draw-distance set at 500m (just for testing).

I get hardly any lag and my system specs are as follows:

AMD 64 3400+

1GB Kingston HyperX DDR 3200 RAM

Windows XP Home Edition

NVIDIA BFG 7600GS with 512 RAM

10MB Broadband Internet

I will be getting another GB of RAM in January so this baby should run even better then. wink_o.gif

And that is good enough since this is a game about modern ground combat and not modern air combat. It's your problem that you are too dense to see that.

I disagree! Have you tried tweaking the joystick settings? And what joystick do you use?

The helicopter fm might not be 100% perfect, there is some weird twitch after giving rudder at higher speeds then slowing down again (a bit hard to explain). But to say that helicopters only works going from point A to B is IMHO very wrong! Flying the AH-6 with tweaked settings and a quality HOTAS me personally can do much more than that, and thats after only an hour test flying in ArmA (however I do have 250+ hours logged in LB2)!

Again, there is room for more improvements but it's not as bad you say it is. If you don't belive me I will be happy to take you up on a spin in "my" AH-6 over Sharani to prove it.

I can't comment on planes since I havent tried it yet but they did suck in OFP...

If you can't see any problems, I won't waste any time explaining to you what the problem is.  If you read a few pages back, some people asked for a video, so I gave them a video.  If everything looks good for them, then thats their problem.

People can be ignorant if they want, you know.  

I should have left out the first part, but it shows that it takes forever to get the command to do something.  Same with the T72.  Also it often happens with ammocrate, you never get the command.

For those who say the demo gives better performance, keep in mind that the demo takes place on SahraniLite.   icon_rolleyes.gif

I watched your video and thought shit I ain't been up in the 17 yet, so lets see how bad it really is.

Helli Movie (working now)

This is me flying with mouse and keyboard (just the up & down keys) and to be quite honest, I think you need to practise a bit more before you complain about the flight model, I'll agree its not perfect and there is still room for improvements, but 1.02 is a damn sight better than 1.01.

I don't know what your using for your flight input, but looking at how you handled the Helli & how unstable it was in flight, I would throw away the chop-sticks your using and start using your fingers or get a good joystick and tweak it so the inputs are just right.

Don't get me wrong I can find many many many faults with the game, and to be honest I am very disappointed in its state of release but hope it will get improved over time.

All you have said so far is that you find the game shit. Didnt you even claim that you threw away the game? The new system is here to stay and you are basically out of luck. Sell the game and move on.

Here's a short video of how helicopters handle in ARMA.

You find serious bugs in this game without even looking for the. How awesome is that? biggrin_o.gif

And somebody dare to tell me this is the realistic flight model you all have been waiting for.

We're you trying to fly smooth in that video or trying to fly as erratic as possible? Why are you using 3rd person view to fly the chopper? Please tell me you chose that view to show what it looks like from outside looking in, because you can not expect to "feel" what the chopper is doing/how it's reacting in 3rd person view, and what do you use to fly (keyboard, mouse, joystick)?

Well I stayed up late last night to try the demo and just from the COOP mode alone I must say I LOVE IT and I think this game has a lot of potential. I was able to play the game on high settings with 7 other people and it ran smooth for me. My system specs as follows-

Core 2 duo 6300, 2GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2 1GB.

I really don't understand what the haters are complaining about cause I just can't see the crappiness about this game they describe. I have a hard on realistic military shooters, play everything from America's Army to Ghost Recon AW to Battlefield 2, and this demo alone has by far been the most satisfactory military sim experience I've had. If there's anything wrong, it's the lack of official game servers for the demo. So I guess a lot of people have a hard time experiencing the full potential of the demo because of the lag.

I was using the keyboard and mouse to fly. I don't know if you were reading my previous posts or not so let me state again that its not the flying that bugs me. That video was made to show to all the people that say "ARMA chopper handling is realistic" that it isn't the case.

For the people that keep insisting that its super easy to dogfight or even shoot from air to ground using a chopper, pelase make a video.

The cobra video just proves my point of how terrible the choppers handle. Basically you autohover above the convoy and have your gunner shoot the convoy with guided missiles and the chaingun. Is that supposte to be a simulation or what.

Can you complete that mission with the ffar only? I doubt so. Or can you even complete it without being a floating target?

Quote[/b] ]Flying the AH-6 with tweaked settings and a quality HOTAS me personally can do much more than that, and thats after only an hour test flying in ArmA (however I do have 250+ hours logged in LB2)!

Well show me what you can do. Why don't you open the editor, place a few tanks on the ground, an enemy chopper in the sky, and try to take it on without the gunner.

Try another test. Place 2 camel planes on the same map, one being the player and one being the AI. Give the AI the waypoint to fly in a straight line, and try to "dogfight it" See if you succeed untill your ammo runs out and get back to me with a video of what a great pilot you are. icon_rolleyes.gif

I doubt you guys ever saw any real videos of choppers in "action"

The way the guy in the cobra mission flew, simulates stupidity, no offence.

Hey Stealth3, made some video for you. I'm not sure on the realistic-ness part (we don't get immolated when we crash and burn), but I do know it's way cool to not be restricted in flight manuevers now!

Those videos are nice even though unrealistic. But now there is heavy restriction on aiming, and thats what bugs most people.

Hey Stealh3, nobody cares okay? I think you made your point like 4 threads ago, but now you're like that tired troll that everyone likes to keep prodding with a stick just to see if it's still alive. Hey, lets all make videos now to make him angry or something.

If it's a waste of time sim, quit wasting your time and our time by posting here on how much of a waste of time it is. We get it, but we're good, thanks.

maybe make an anti-Arma forum where you and all the 1337 anti-c@mpers can hang out and shake your fist at us mightily.

How so? Is it impossible for helicopters to perform loops and rolls?

Yea... this demo is of version 1.03 its contains more of the lates developments than teh reall game since you sill haven goten 1.03 patch, and this game its pretty crappy.... and like i said the soldiers aft like fags and not soldiers the viehcles are so crappy especialy the helicopters if u turn them to teh side a litle they start roling...etc thers plent wrong with this game but you just dont want to see it...

Just tell me WHAT THE HELL IS THAT...

W.T.F

When are you moderators going to ban people that continually use offensive language. Some parents do not appreciate their children frequenting these forums, and won't be buying the game for their children if they are aware this is the sort of stuff allowed in Official forums?

Don't want my nephew asking me what a 'Fag' is or 'WTF' means thank-you-very-much!

Grow up or get off the forum.

You are ok with your nephew simulating combat and repatively engaging in the simulated killing of other human beings but you're worried that he will wonder what a "fag" is? Are you "SHITTING" me? You really think that kids don't cuss? Give me a break. They can pull up some asian-lady-boy porn at the click of a button on the internet but you're not going to buy a violent video game because of foul language? You're fucked up man. If you are afraid of bad language that kids use amongst themselves already but hold that in more horror than simulated murder then you need a shrink buddy. I'll grow up if you'll "GET REAL."

Dude, the game itself has the word fuck in it. If you are seriously that offended by the word fag, you should get help.

You shouldn't have said that because now he'll probably want the game censored. If you want a game that is censored, feel free to download America's Army. They offer censorship. Other than that you're ******. biggrin_o.giftounge2.gifrofl.gifxmas_o.gif
