I just tried the sound mod with 1.08 Some bugs... The aim of some weapons (one over all the m4 SD) is bad.. Guns go clearly over the red dot...and yes i got the original game with no crack of course. Anyway the sound are pretty good... I don't like the Russian PK sound, and the russian attack chopper sound...

i TOTALLY AGREE

That`s exactly that problem i meant. Totaly unrealistic behaviour. These 2 videos prove that flight model still need a fix... Bah...

Link doesn't work

Flight model is still bad imho. Controll is a bit better but still irreal... I don t undestand why BIS can do flight model like ofp or BF or flight simulator... They are all more real than the ArmA one.

So at the moment there is no english language patch for version 1.02, right ?

Question for BIS : When we could have a patch for helicopters? Thanks

It's nice to see how BIS took the ofp bugs to ArmA....

Matt you say it's easy cause you just flyed arounds... Anyway, that's not a matter of easy or not easy... Here we talk (overall) about a major bug of the rudder over 50-60Mph Show us some video of AH1 Single player mission with FFAR and manual fire I think you will not say easy anymore

The fact that choppers can be manouvrable somehow doesn't mean they are not bugged.... In real life there is NO choppers that fly in that way and can't turn while going over 50-60 Mph...It's absolutely irreal, false, bugged ect... ....AND the fact you are learning to fly a bugged chopper doesn't mean that chopper is not bugged and the flight model is not absolutely irreal... You make it sound like the whole flight model is totally screwed up and it's impossible to fly but even with "all these bugs" it's perfectly possible to play with the choppers. That's why I made the videos to show that it's not that hard to play. In my view there are only 2 bugs with this flight model. First bug is that the controls are too sensative. You don't notice it much when you use the mouse except when you try to aim at a long distance. With the joystick it's easy to notice. The second bug is the rudder controls that become disabled when you reach a certain speed. This makes aiming hard. The max speed should be increased. Finally what do you mean with "can't turn while going over 50-60 Mph"? You mean the rudder? Yeah, when i say that flying model is bugged and irreal i refer mainly to the rudder....so we agree about this... The rudder control should work ALWAYS....even at high speed and with the same sensivity when you fly slow... I think that changing the rudder control, all flight model could work fine...aiming should be more accurate, easy and smooth and AI should not crash or turn arounds anymore...

The fact that choppers can be manouvrable somehow doesn't mean they are not bugged.... In real life there is NO choppers that fly in that way and can't turn while going over 50-60 Mph...It's absolutely irreal, false, bugged ect... ....AND the fact you are learning to fly a bugged chopper doesn't mean that chopper is not bugged and the flight model is not absolutely irreal...

Nothing wrong with choppers?? You destroyed Urals cause even a close FFAR destroy them (you don't need a direct hit)...infact you need only few machinegun shot to destroy them... (Look at minute 2:19 of your movie) AND....the fact that you needed guided missiles to destroy the last 2 tanks (anyway they was all standing and all grouped) show how rough is the flight model... Anyway u got a nice flying.... If u can...should be nice to see a manul fire on a moving armored convoy (make a movie of AH1 sp mission) and i agree with Mr_Tea: even AI can't drive chopper properly...Often they fly arounds and take too much time to engage an armoured or you can see them just crash when flying LOL

Thanks Remember to use manual fire and ffar... A movie of AH1 SP mission with manual fire should be great too..

Using stick or mouse/keyboard is the same thing cause it's the flight model bugged.... I was a good pilot in ofp (and i really like ofp chopper flight model) but in Arma helicopters there's something wrong... I tried with both mouse/keyboard and joystick and chopper is impossible to controll smoothly anyway Surely u can always drive the chopper less bad as you can and fire guided missiles from far distance but u can't do anything manual or that need a precision flight (with joystick too)

Please record a video with fraps doing the AH1 single player mission only with FFAR and manual fire...

The only way to take out armored vehicles with this flight model in Arma is to use guided missiles... It's IMPOSSIBLE to do anything manual cause choppers doesn't turn on his vertical axis when going over 50-60 Mph (it's defenitely a bug imho) Blackalpha you used : 1) Guided missiles 2) Tactical view LOL....Please..

I watched your movie! It shouldn't take 5 minutes to engage 4 armoured targets. You've just illustrated why Helos are so bad in ArmA. In OFP I could engage 8 or more targets in less that 30 seconds with the Apache. And that's about right. The Hellfire can be fired off at presets simultaneously (Which you could emulate quite well with the <tab> key). You can't "popup" as is the usual method of engagement for helos because the flight model is so awful combined with the buggy targeting. Truth be known, an AH-1Z would never overfly a Shilka, thats almost certain death provided the gunner isn't Stevie Wonder. Im not dissing you in anyway because given the current Helo situation, I probably couldn't have done it much better. My point is that in OFP you could employ proper attack helo tactics and now you cant. Well at least I can't and most people seem to agree. I have tried that "Alligator" mission about 20 x now and it is nearly impossible to hold the Helo steady. The gun camera in the Kamov is ENTIRELY useless as it cannot be slewed independantly of the helos main controls. Im not suggesting we try to incorporate a flight sim here. I just would have preferred it if it had been left alone. As the old addage says, "If it aint broke, dont fix it". E I totally agree

I agree

I totally agree... Anyway i think the flying model is bugged... It's impossible that an heli can't turn on his vertical axis when flying over 50-60 MPH

I tried with joystick/joypad too and i assure you that chopper isn't drivable smoothly to take out tanks manually... Maybe u can show us how to fly properly MrTea..... Oh....and give a look to this video.... It's a AH1 attack video....really funny.... At the end of the video, pilot clearly try to turn to take out 1 bmp (at least) but it fail cause chopper doesn't turn at that speed.... lol

OMG 3dom are you serious? There is 1 bmp just in front of your take off and you shooted at that bmp something like 10 FFAR to take it out....and when you tried to turn and go back, you almost lost the control (at first turn)...lol I think it's almost impossible to make SMOOTH fly especially to take out enemy during fly... PLEASE ANYONE (WHO THINK TO BE A GOOD PILOT) UPLOAD SOME VIDEOS WITH CHOPPER USING ONLY FFAR AND MANUAL FIRE (AH1 SINGLE PLAYER MISSION) I bet NOBODY here can end that mission with manual fire and a smooth flying... WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEOS........

I think Arma chopper flight model is missing something or it's bugged or just sucks... It seems to fly with a plane... To all those thinks flight model is good, please do a movie (with fraps) showing AH1 single player mission and your manual kill with FFAR...

I totally agree In OFP, driving chopper was great...in Arma is really horrible

The only sucking thing is the chopper flying controls... It seems to control a plane...and IT DOESN'T TURN ! I say to all...Try to finish the AH1 single player mission only with manual fire and FFAR missiles (don't use guided missiles or copilot fire). In ofp u got a nice control of the chopper so u could do great damage with FFAR but now it's almost impossible to aim directly on target.. Let me know how many tries u need to finish that mission

I just tried Arma and these are my impressions... I played at 1280x1024 at medium/low details and it looks great...graphic is just amazing... Movements are realistic and impressive.. All is great but there are 2 things i didn't like at all... 1) Flying with chopper is really hard, i don't like it at all and often autohover turns on automatically (bug i think). If the chopper goes at high speed there is no way to make it turns with pedals and trying to turn with cloche (turn command) make the chopper only to turn slowly... So if u wanna turn 180 degrees fast, u have almost to stop then use your pedals command or turn command... I really liked the OFP chopper flymode. 2) If u go prone, you can't see far AI and almost anything because grass is a bit high but AI can often see u so u have to make semi prone position but u are more visibile and easily killable...AND....firing semi-prone with machinegun is almost impossible..
