Flight sim

Recommended Posts

Yo all u arma fans.

I have been a dedicated player since ofp was first released, and to me this is the absolute most sleep killing game i have ever played. But, i do also love flying - alle kinds af different flight sims, and though you can fly any plane or chopper you encounter, the flight sim part still is far from what im used to in dedicated sims - i especially think about the instruments, I would love them to be as visible and precise as i find them in a real flight sim. Any chance that is gonna be part of the game?

I'd say... 0% chance.

This isn't a flight sim like Falcon 4.0 or DCS: Black Shark, and no tank sim like Steel Beasts Pro.

This is a realistic infantry game with extras thrown in for a better combined arms experience. The vehicles are functional, and that's all they are meant to be.

I agree with you Inkompetent but I still find some part could be improved a bit.

I mean when you use an attack chopper or a jet basically all you have to do is press tab, fire, press tab, fire, press tab, fire...funny at the beginning but after awhile...And an addon like theHMW AH-64 shows it's not impossible to improve that part.

ya - Inkompetent i do agree - sort of... and I would mind if the game performance suffered, BUT never the less - If all vehicles were like the dedicated sims, one could be a specialist pilot, tank-commander or... what ever, and that WOULD add the the overall realism. But dont get me wrong - this is the best game i have ever played...

Looks like Operation Arrowhead will be a bit more in this direction. At least HUD's and proper FLIR and what looks like semi working MFD's. Maybe that expansion can further let the modders go crazy in that field once its out.

I agree to that i too would want more realistic flight, but i also know that this wont happen. Not to the extent of being close to Falcon/Black shark. But to me it looks like were getting further and further thanks to BIS, Rock's team, ACE and everyone else that i didnt mention that all work for nicer air.

I'm with Alex72 here. I would like more stuff myself, but I don't expect it to come to any greater degree.

We know what BIS' focus with ArmA is, and thus every little improvement to the vehicles to make them more realistic is a gift.

Just imagine what the community would do with the game if we got clickable cockpits and working MFD displays... The aviation and armour would enter a completely new universe.
