Yep, that's the downside of using profiles to tackle this issue. The advantage of the above app is that it lets you switch sensitivities on the fly. With profiles, I believe you have to load up a profile prior to starting a mission.

I was also surprised at how negative and critical some members here acted but I'm just happy we found a solution. Drift_91, give this app a try that oukej sent me. It works perfectly for changing sensitivities on the fly. I set 3 different sensitivities for infantry, jets and choppers to F10, F11 and F12 hotkeys. http://www.gphotoshow.com/mouse-speed-switcher.php#.WRzM7cbGCUl

Nice. I guess every one is different. I find the infantry sens way too low for choppers to really move effectively, same for jets. So the constant switching ruins things for me. I messaged one of BI staff about this and they recommended me a neat little mouse sensitivity utility that can change speeds on the fly, just what I wanted. Thank you oukej! Glad we have some helpful staff members around here.

Do you play as infantry only?

I get that, believe me. A gunner should turn slower than hip fire aim for infantry. Common sense. My question is a little different. Let's say you play as infantry 33% of the time, another 33% in choppers and the rest in either jets or land vehicles. So you play a bit of everything. Now lets assume the sensitivity that you use for your infantry is a little too low for comfortably piloting choppers, and lets assume the sensitivity that you use for choppers is a little too high for jets, so you have to change sensitivity every time you get in and out of vehicles to have optimal control. My question is, with the lack of numerical values to go with sensitivity in Arma, how would you set your infantry, chopper and jet sensitivities each and every time you switch, and know where to set it to, etc?

I apologize for my recent post. I was in a bad mood and this issue is clearly not a big deal to the majority of players so I'll just learn to live with it. I think the issue is most of you play this game either as infantry, or a chopper pilot, or some other role. If you played a bit of everything, and had to constantly change sensitivities on the fly, without any numeric values to help remember where exactly you set your sensitivity to the last time you stepped foot in an aircraft, and then had to guess where it was when you switch back to infantry, you might then better appreciate the point of having individual settings with numeric values to go by. But alas, the majority seem fine with the current set up so I'll accept it for what it is. Hopefully someone releases a simple mod one day that will solve this issue without affecting the speed of the turrets, since some of you believe that could be used to cheat or manipulate the game unfairly.

I also have a 4790K and a 1080 Ti and I can also attest that lowering graphics doesn't do that much performance wise. The settings that I've found that really have an affect on performance are visbility/draw distance and objects. Those 2 settings can make the difference of an average of around 30fps when they're on max, or around 70-80fps if I set both to around 40-50%. Either way, it's a beautiful game, just not the best engine.

If I was a mod creator, I would want as many people to upload and share it as possible and get my work out there. Of course, those who really care will find a way to find the author's website or steam and get the latest version if they want to, but a mod is free material that should be shared and the more sharing, the more recognition for the creator :) having said that, if an author does request for their work to be taken down, there should be no ifs or buts.

Do you know any north American servers that play conquest? I couldn't find any. Unless you're talking about playing offline with AI.

haha I'll remember that

Thanks for all the suggestions guys and especially the mission links by Gunter. Very helpful. Regarding the editor, that's where I've been spending 90% of my time, when I'm not trying out missions/scenarios. It's such a great addition to the game. Being a Battlefield 4 player for the last few years, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a mod last night which adds a BF conquest style game mode to Arma 3, with capture points and all. But hardly anybody plays it online so unfortunately it's not something that can realistically be played except for offline mode with AI.

I see. So there's not much we can do about it now besides lowering graphical settings or upgrading our CPU? I believe my memory is running at default speeds of 1600mhz

What I don't is if everyone is saying Arma 4 is a very CPU intensive game, why then it my CPU usage always around 20-30% when running the game. I'm new to A3 so still trying to figure this out. Could it be that A3 is only using 1 out of 4 cores? I have the game installed on an SSD drive, 16gb DDR3 memory, i7 4790K overclocked to 4.8ghz and a GTX 1080 Ti.

Hi everyone, new member here and just wanted to introduce myself. I just purchased Arma 3 after years of Cod and Battielfield and other shooters. I kept looking for the next best thing, the more realistic experience and here is where I ended up, at the door step of Arma 3. I've had the game for around a week now and so far it's pretty amazing but as I'm sure everyone knows, there's quite a steep learning curve. I'd appreciate any tips for new comers and where to get started. I've spent the last week just getting accustomed to the controls, and doing offline training to get myself familiarized with everything. So far I've tried a bit of the SP campaign and had to stop due to boredom and the fact that it's not really helping me improve much. So instead I downloaded a whole bunch of scenarios including helicopter/plan missions and SP objectives. The roles I enjoy most are helicopter gunship and jet fighter operation, and also enjoy being part of a team and playing on foot, but would prefer to get in to helicopter missions more than anything. I have seen that there is a game mode called KOTH which requires a chopper pilot to transport players to and from designated locations, but beyond that I was wondering what everyone recommends for those interested in helicopter gunship or jet fighter gameplay online. What game mods would be best to start with, which servers if any are more "noob" oriented for beginners like me, and so on (I'm in California, USA). Cheers all. Glad to be part of my first Arma forum
