Since no other game publisher ever give me game with abilities like we get in Arma (editor, realism, modding tools, sandbox, graphics...etc.) i'm posting here to see what community thinks and to give BI an a idea for the next game (not arma4, but new game like Take on mars). Since i'm sim fan (arma, il2, ED) and space enthusiast, i would love to see space sim in arma style. I know new ENFUSION engine will support flight model(FM) and FPS but i don't know could it support procedural generation. There are new space games coming soon with whole detailed planets created with procedural generation (partly created with procedural generation, partly handcrafted) and i'm sure AAA studio like BI could create it even better but in arma style (something like Star citizen arma but with one star system). So here is idea: -star system(sandbox) with few landable planets, space stations and few gas giants: landable planets:-earthlike planet( with bases, industrial facilities and old outposts) -desert planet (industrial facilities and old outposts) -sea planet (submerged stations with submarines) -few types of spaceships and FM so players could fly from planet to planet and fighting either in ships or in FPS - FPS like in ARMA with realistic ballistics but not with lasers or such, instead with ballistic weapons -mission editor and modding tools like in Arma In other words space Arma placed in one star system, again not arma4 (lets Arma 4 follow previous Arma series)

it looks like winter outfit (winter map, mountains, oh i wish it is it), or visor gas mask!

God i hope it won't be alien or zombie nonsense! I hope it's going to be Alaska/Alps kind of map with non-futuristic weapons and good SP campaign! Btw did they said when we can expect APEX campaign 'OLD MAN'?

unfortunately! But beside workshop which already give me a ton of amazing missions and few campaigns i have editor and create my own missions and campaigns, however that is time consuming and lately i don't have time,i did spent 2months for 4missions campaign which i still enjoy even new updates mess it up so i have to fix it regulary. Try it ;) it's called "COLLATERAL"

this was one of my fav DLC's, very engaging and fun with great atmosphere! If only there were more missions, and carrier ops campaign would be nice. AI super aiming and x-ray vision is still annoying but overall excellent DLC, more DLC's like this please!

It's nice to see that not all studios are greedy, it's nice to see BI creating actual content and sell them in humanitarian purpose unlike some other studios who sell simple colour paintjobs in price of real game content out of pure greed. I see many whine about "Laws of war" being unworthy update while part of that money goes in charity purpose. (You don't need to buy it but at least don't whine.) Update: My intention was not to start disscusion about whining, just wanted to say bravo BI for selling actual content instead charging for paintjobs or such rubbish. (no matter does someone like this dlc or not, we all like different things). Respect BI!

I voted apex, heli and malden! My next biggest dlc wish are some new good SP campaigns!

Well, my opinion is that i have no respect for whiners, if you don't like it don't buy it. Will you respect my opinion? Whining is one thing and expressing opinion regarding dlc (constructive critic) is another. But as i said my intention was not call out whiners here rather i wanted to say i'm happy to see that BI sell real content (even some don't like it, this dlc is not in my taste either) instead paintjobs and such microtransactions. I didn't come here on forum to arguee these last 3 years and i don't intend now nor in the future. Sorry if i don't reply i rarely visit forum. Bye!

Didn't tried it yet, but i will as soon i catch some free time.

I don't follow forums frequently so i thought some news leaked since last time i was here. Thanks!

No i didn't! I own every dlc except Karts, if i knew that i would bought it, i will if it's still a go! What about Orange dlc, any news?

Seems it's not july, maybe mid/end of august! (Btw that avatar, sgt.smash?) I hope it's not something like karts, rather something we'll use in game more often....civilian or logistic support (transport/cargo plane or such). Orange dlc comes second on my "anticipation list" after malden dlc.

arma is their flagship, they are moving team to new title (i hope aarma4) cos a3 does not need as much devs since minor dlc's are left to be done. i guess! it is a good news if you ask me

Even i would love that, it is not realistic. It would demand heavly rewriting engine for that. Also DCS is pure sim and Arma tries to be in between and for majority players. Dcs same as il2 have small loyal community supporting it so for flight simming i play them and for rest there is Arma. Maybe in Arma4!

that's your opinion! about arma we agree, but il2 is far better flight sim than DCS in terms of FM,DM and WW2 theatre, only thing DCS has better is clickpits and modern AC.....i like both sims from different reasons! No need to reply cos i sense DCS forum warrior in you (from your salty response) and this is not thread for that. cheers!

I'm quite positive surprised by Jets DLC saying this as a long time flight simmer (il2, DCS) and an aircraft engineer. Ok we can't compare Arma3 flight model, damage model and realism with DCS or IL2-BoS given it is not pure flight sim. But it provides a lot of fun in terms of Arma style and what amazed me was performance, i was afraid on high speeds fps performance will suffer but it is amazing even on low altitudes. My settings are on ultra and view distance on 4000-6000m, i7 6700k with gtx1070 i get 60-120fps and even more, didn't watch it all the time. Also it is quite fun flying it with trackir5 and HOTAS. There is a one things i would add while staying loyal to Arma roots and that is: -in current state when fighter went into stall it stays like frozen in one position while losing alt even moving flight controls on low (but not too low) stall speed it doesn't affect plane movement at all, it just stays frozen in one position, it would look more realistic and immersive if plane's nose or tail went down regarding center of plane's gravity and speed when in stall ,and weak reactions from flight controls on planes behaviour according to those speed. Again this is not something really important that will ruin good experience in game. Other than that i found Jets dlc even more fun than i expected so GOOD JOB BIS!

thanks! i should read sitrep more carefully

Are jets and carrier available in 1.70RC, i would like to try it but didn't want to switch to dev branch? thanks!

some allied faction with new vehicles, could be civilian!

if it is in jungle or forest than yes! i had r9 380 with similar results and upgraded to gtx1070 so now i have around 75fps in editor when before was 38-45fps, in missions it vary depending on how mission is scripted, from 50-120fps. forgot to say i have i7 6700k stock speed and 16gb ram 2400mhz. i tested it always in the same spot in jungle (mission editor) with same cpu but different gpu's (gtx1070 and r9 380), it was last summer but i don't think much changed regarding that even with 64-bit

oh i already was preordered apex while ago so it answers my question

so far i bought every arma3 dlc from steam, now i would like to preorder Bundle 2 from official BI store, so is it possible, will it be added to my main game which is bought through steam and can i untie arma 3 from steam?

i've stoped playing arma (just a little distraction caused by il2 bos) but she stays my perfect game, every game i play and discuss on forum i compare to arma and demand to be like arma. there is no better and more complex sandbox!

than check out this: https://www.inovaestudios.com/Battlescape But it will we pure PvP in start since they are growing studio, and they planning add modding tools and editor later if game succeed, and CEO confirmed FPS will be implemented over time. game is very promising but first need to succeed to keep development of all those features i mentioned in the OT. And has amaizing realism features. that game gave me idea of space arma with single star system.

yes elite is kind of boring! star citizen concept is great but it's missing offline sandbox mode with editor. also did you check infinity battlescape, it is coming in release in early 2018. it is one detailed star system with excellant physics but only PVP and maybe later modding tools if game succeed
